Daily and 4hr TFs are UP, 1hr is down so 5min entries are extremely risky.

Would you wait for a 4hr close for the span to clear?

Bearish bat formation, that's a new one I guess it didn't go bearish though.

Yes, the higher timeframe(s) confirm the direction no matter whether you are scalping or taking longer term trades.

Oh well...I got stopped out for breakeven on my EURUSD buy and my USDCHF sell after they had both moved to 40pips in profit. Perhaps I shouldn't be moving stops to breakeven on the longer 4hr trades.

GJ cross down on the 1hr?

Yep, see that. Daily Ks is angled up so looks like a good buy. Maybe we'll get a little retrace...not sure.

What completed signal are you waiting for with USDCAD? The 1hr cross is above the kumo. The 4hr I could see a possible entry if a strong move or more likely in about 12hrs or so. A 30min entry is possible.

Yes, that's true but for simplicity sake, let's say we trade a 4hr Ts?ks strong cross and we put our SL on the other side of the Ks. I think a 10pip buffer to allow spikes through the Ks is very tight and may stop you out too early sometimes. ...

No, that is money management and risk, what I am referring to is simply avoiding being stopped out in a trade because you didn't allow enough room in your stop. For example a buffer of 10 pips might not be enough when your stop is the other side of ...

On some trades, it is necessary to make our stop the other side of the 4hr Ks even though our entry might be on the 1hr. What is a good buffer to add to the stop loss past the Ks? I think 10pips is a bit too close for long term trades, the Ks ...

GBPUSD 4hr Are you waiting for an entry on a lower timeframe for this or are you going to grade the Kijun bounce?

Possible sell on the GBPCHF 1hr?

Careful watching 12 pairs, you can't catch every move
