{quote} Nice trade FWR, Everyone has their way of looking at charts, which is absolutely great with me, And I can see the footprints of what I like to call the repeatable market mechanics in your chart above also. From the chart-time 09:12 to 09:49 the market went into an inflection point (the 5min chart shows it well) with a range of about 8-9 pips and you timed the imminent breakout very nicely. From the breakout down to the close at BRN 0.65000, by just trading horizontal lines. Well done. If we keep looking LEFT on the chart to notice which...
Thanks for the nice words TT.

I saw that 9 pip range much easier on the 15 min chart but traded the 5 min. Looking at the 1 min helps with post analysis of the hindsight kind, but I can't trade the 1 min well. Even though AU is giving more pips by now I am happy with the 10 as that is the process and was the target.
Yes the horizontal lines are most helpful.

Cheers...

{quote} Indeed. Looking for shorts only today in the EURUSD...EURJPY also The level placement, along with price reaction, or lack of, seem to provide a decent filter for trade candidates. {image}
Basically,

1. mark the range between open and close of the previous 2 days; then
2. wait for return to the breakout area from a previous low (if selling) to occur for entries, I think they call it zone flip or support turns resistance vice versa. (recalibration of value)

If we look at it, when price devalued from the close (of the last 2 days), it follows that it may return for fair price at open (of the last 2 days).

So I think the logic in your trades make sense.

Do you care to explain your theories and observation? Thanks

2 trades at entry. close first one at first small target, let other one run and it either hits the main target or stops out (make sure the stoploss would not give u an aggregate loss over the 2 trades). That's one way. I know, it can be a frustrating way to trade tho, with many breakeven stopouts, but u mind find over many trades that you start to find a main target (whether that is in pips or some other measurement) that has an acceptably high hit rate.

{quote} Do you care to explain your theories and observation? Thanks
I'm not sure if I have any theories per se, and if I do, I probably won't make sense explaining them. Here are the basic points of my analysis using this method.

1. Did yesterdays PA touch the Open(if so, discard)
2a. If the Close is greater than the Open and yesterdays PA closed below the Close, look for shorts when below the Close
b. If the Close is less than the Open and yesterdays PA closed above the Close, look for longs above the Close
3. Observe the distance between Open/Close(discard if they are too close together, prefer some spacing)


Hopefully, this makes some sense.

Took a small loss on AUDCAD, but had a win on EURUSD for today. Did not trade EURJPY. Will have a look again tomorrow.

You need to contain your excitement when active, dont go after the fast exotic volatile victoria secret models, try something a little bit more predictable , boring and less likely to heat you up emotionally. Take regular cold showers before and definitely afterwards.

Also, the more you practise control, the better you will get to restrain yourself and get the right result.

Maybe, you are new & inexperienced, then you will need to read & study from the professionals and learn how they do it.
Might involve watching videos, make sure they are the right kind, otherwise you will be back at square one.

Great analysis there.

I checked the setups and when I observed them in REAL TIME yesterday, entries look better at previous swings.

Check it out. Although I was not able to mark all as some form during the current day.

I think AUDCAD is a bit problematic for long because there was already a rejection at previous open. There was overvaluation. So, we must look for shorts at recalibration zones (previous swings, support turns resistance/resistance turns support).

Kinda agree. AUDCAD had hit the close already when I attempted my long, so I could have argued against talking it.

Perhaps an entry too early?

If we follow the previous success in this line of thinking, perhaps it is better to wait for that previous swing to be broken and for the price's return.

But with conviction that the open is the target, perhaps it doesn't really matter.

Certainly waiting for additional confirmation is going to increase your odds, I would suspect. Also it will depend on which TF's your are looking for your signals. I'm using the hourly.

When you look at the daily chart, all this discussion is really about is a piercing candle that has not made the retracement to the open. So nothing new here. I guess we are taking that information and looking at it on a different TF.

Just closed out my EURAUD trade.

Silver had an inside day, and only marginally closed up. Prolly just going to watch this one.

Anyway, I'll refrain from spamming the thread anymore. Again, random lines? Perhaps. Random information about past price action? Perhaps. But in the end, it only has to make sense to you. I report back after while, or if I have anything worthwhile to contribute. Cheers.

That was the 25 number as well, could expect trapping there especially in Asia around that time.

I suggest that you to let your thoughts be expressed in here.

Just don't ask anyone why price moves up or down or you'll be damned.lol

I checked silver and it is really hard to trade this using history. But maybe during real time the market may show its hand while we are looking.

This is a good strategy. Easy to scan what to trade for the day. I was using M30 or M15 just to elaborate the swings.

Its funny you say that because that's exactly what I've noticed. Its made it much easier to see which pairs I want to be involved with. I took some shorts on AUDCAD, but covered them once I decided to be a little more stringent on the condition that the Open has not been tested. Its up for debate perhaps. Making it harder to justify taking a trade probably aint the worst thing. Plus its Friday, and time to take the foot off the pedal some. Have a good weekend people.
