F, I am reviewing yesterday on EU.

When you have a spare minute, could you re-post your tick chart for EU please, zoomed into the area marked in blue, on attached. That way I'll be able to see a bit better how your black arrows relate to the price in the afternoon.

It was a pretty complex, but useful day. I think the penny may have dropped on a few aspects, I live in hope anyway lol.

Hopefully you don't mind me picking this all apart F? If you do have time to crit this post, it would be appreciated. Or perhaps elaborate further?

I am trying to see if I understand the various reasons for entry during the am on EU.

Attached chart has trades numbered.

EU 02072015 am Trades.png

I'll take as a given that you had signals on your tick chart, and the TW's align. Beyond that, possible rational for entries, as follows...

1. Sell EU - price at top of a range/res, albeit within what is a BTTZ, or at least tight range.
2. Buy EU - 3rd touch of DTL - DTL can be seen easier on H1, but we know it's there. Bullish PS on higher TF, price above Lits.
3. Buy EU - 3rd touch of DTL, price previously broke res at 1098/1100, re-confirming bullish PS, price above Lits. M1 and M5 price making HH & Hl pattern.
4. Buy EU - much the same as above, though with price making return to clear RBS zone.
5. Buy EU - Presumably that's a loser, or BE at best, but anyway, price lining up with DTL, and RBS zone, plus much of the above rational for trades 3 & 4.
6. Sell EU - Continuation entry, in M1 downtrend - M1 making LL LH pattern. Support becomes resistance, DTL broken to downside, and break of sideways price range (which started from 10.40 am BST).

Sounding plausible?

Morning Geofract

No problem - I will do that for you - if I can

I have just been on FXPro this morning - and I cannot get yesterdays charts up - at all - on any pair - in fact the last charts I can get are only for June 30th ?

Obviously some technical problem and I will try later on this morning - rebooting and re logining in again

I have had this happen before a couple of times at weekends - and then a few hours later - all back to normal

Enjoy your weekend - and yes - nice sunny morning here in the Midlands as well

Regards

Hi F,
Please save me endless scrolling, are these the current settings?
"For now new settings at 10 - 16 - 27 - 60 - 80 - 105 - 240 - 300 - 450 -"
Thanks and hopefully finally good to go Monday morning....
I want to replicate the 08.58 EU from yesterday.
Cheers
 
another one joins the dark side here ............;)

I want to brighten my screens with coloured spaghetti and the porn is getting tired,
I only have Dax and latterly EU.
I'm ready, but don't ask me to do an MM chart please!

i have spent all day comparing kt on various t and m1 charts

I believe I saw more than one you posted that looked more elaborate again than F's.

Anyhow, I just need to get my lines aligned with F and get pressing buttons on Monday and 50 fx points a day coming my way.

I will try to give time to it this coming week and cover 4 pairs and report here. Not as fast as F but I will try and give a pip update at the end of the day. Yes I know it should take many hours etc but 3 short lines under i'm buying 3 short lines over i'm selling, withing the KTW of course.

Monday here I come -)

Ok back to the tennis

Hi Nick

Yes - approx

OK - the idea when you use 9 + LR's is the more over price - then price is bearish and falling next hour or even hrs - and opposite the more under - price is bullish and rising the next hr or hrs.

Check out any of my 1 min charts last week or month

Very rarely will you get 9 or 12 or more LRs all under or over price - if the settings are spread from say 10 to 500+. For this to happen it would be a very strong bull run in a bull session structure - or opposite if all over the price.

If you only want to use 4 or 5 LRs - choose how you want to play

For scalping all the while either way in any price structure - you need 2 or 3 Lrs on quick settings from 8 to 25 ish

For scalping and wanting targets of say 7 -20 pips - then any choice of quick settings - ( under 15 ) along with the 50 / 60 to 100 /120 settings

If you want to add a more price structure bias setting add a 240 to 500 setting

So as an example and a rough guide try 10 - 16 - 70 - 250

For scalping only - try 9 -13 - 22 - 50

Remember - to line up with PA / time windows / key times / and levels

It will take you at least 1 week or 2 and 50 + trades to feel more comfortable and for you to adjust your settings to suit you own reactions and comfort levels

Then its every 500 trades - or every 6 - 9 weeks - you should start to see improvements - ie stops under 5 pips - targets 5 -20+ pips - and 70% + win ratios.

After 1000 trades - do the whole review - hopefully by then you have moved from testing to live and your entry timings will be well on the way to good success

Thanks F,
Just to be clear there is no testing going on it's live only. I want pain if I screw it up not tweaks.
50 points a day too -)
Which 4 pairs would you recommend please.
Cheers

wouldn't recommend you road test someone else's system on live money from day 1 ?

Morning Nick and N

4 pairs - maybe GU / AU / UJ and EU if you are used to it.

Trouble is the EU can be the most difficult and hardest pair to trade - some days - and then other days - it can be easy

The AU and UJ are slower pairs - but still OK for intraday.

GU - can be another EU and of course a larger mover . To compliment the EU - really the EJ and EA are good - but both can be larger movers- great when you catch a scalp the correct way - but bad if your timings out

Now with regards to what N says - i would have to agree.

When Major M tried to copy my system - he had to go on demo first and until he got his timing correct as well as his chart set up - he could easily have only a 20 -30% win ratio. Many times - he would think it was him - and blame himself - but its like any skill in life - it does not just come instantly - you have to work at it

If you feel you have already done over 100 scalps my way - but not on my chart set up - at least give it a few days on demo first - just to adapt to the new readings

OK - you will have me around to assist on the thread - but last thing i want is you getting stopped out 4 times in a row on 5 pips - because you entered 3 mins too early or 5 mins too late etc.

If you think - no problem - I am starting with small micro lots etc - then fine - and if you are going to do over 15 or 30 scalps a day - then factor in for a start you might only have a 50/50 win ratio and if you think if i lose $10 a day whilst learning the set up - that's no problem -as it your money.

You know how good MM is now - but he will tell you - it was weeks and months for him to get his exact entry timing to a consistent level - and on some chart set ups - the LR's were not helping him - until he got used to all their different meanings etc etc

Anyway - how ever you do it no problem - I will be around this week - so will help the best I can

Meanwhile - still cannot get into may charts for Friday - strange

Regards

F
