higher Timeframes are still showing significant Yen and USD buy signals so I just keep picking off any lower TF signals that are the same direction to higher TFs
sure there's some minor retraces at times today but just sit out of the game and wait till the Lower TF signals re-align to higher TF.....
and if you sit all day watching the markets readjust without trading ?
Then perhaps ignore what I say and take the contrarian view that Traders are locking in all the big profits this week and simply trade a increasing reversal move as all these trades get stopped out :smart:
Yen and USD are taking hits on that 15m TF below as Dow rallies north a little (See chart) and on a 5m version of this it would look like a major move (second attachment)
BUT against higher TF signals (4h and daily's - not shown) they are saying ..."small retraces.... dont sweat the small stuff !"...wait for business to begin again when its ready
so I can do 2 things :-
1) sit tight and wait for the move back into Yen & Usd buys .....later today , monday, June (?)
2) attack the low timeframes and scramble pips Selling the usd and Yen until 1) action starts again ....and yum yum ....nice CAD !!
its all about scaling your trade amounts and trading each timeframe as its own world.....
up to you all ......i'm busy and lazy today so will sit it out .....long week
anyway I had to scoot but heres the arrowed times (all -1 GMT) I was playing and what I was trying to do in selling the G/U ....although in truth in the end I was B/E and watching petes E/U sells with Envy
so what was I doing ?
1) the big dog TF's are all buying usd and Yen off the falling Dow
so I was just waiting for the tide to turn back again on the 5min....thats it .....I was not trying to trade against the higher TF signals (well I started getting tempted by the AUD buy but didnt bite )
and the X's show I was just a little to early to the party and to keen ......see how things have eventually turned out ?
If I had been at my screens I would have been selling at least one of the A/U , E/U and G/U pairs and pipping as the lowest TF went back to higher trend direction with a bang..........so see it and trade it
well this week I was out of action mostly travelling....but when I was watching I was keen to capitalise on the Dows ongoing demise and trying to then buy Yen and USD
on those signals
so as you can see most days provided some action and yesterday afternoon was possible but I wasnt on line and trading to enjoy it
so to all new traders
1) Research/Experiment and find something you can identify with as a system / style....this WILL take years (sorry :innocent
and sorry to tell you but all those "Great" junkmail systems being sold wont cut it for you if you are serious in the long term
2) perfect your mindset, disciplne and execution processes - this will take years of practice (sorry)
and then Trade.....the only thing that makes you a better trader is trading ......I have not been trading that much recently and it is already telling on my mindset and a few other things.....rusty !!......so note to me to do more next week :smart:
Well its another week of Euro drama ahead.....(when isnt it ?)
I note that William Hill and Ladbrokes have stopped taking bets on Greece leaving.....hmmm
I cant help thinking its like the boy who cried wolf...we all come running and its a false alarm
anyway we are here to trade so volatility is our oxygen .....and what we need.....and it should be in bucketloads this week
heres a 200ma on the daily FXcorrelator and you see Euro's bottom position already ........if Equities confidence does tumble ( left Dow chart is under pressure) then its bye bye birdie....
