Message For Ftse Traders......

What are your views on time frames for trading?

Situation just arose: on 10 minute chart a hammer candle marked my entry on a pullback trade, which then took my stop loss.

I then looked back to the 2 min chart, and on that a clear reversal had taken place and my hammer candle for the downside was a pullback on the 2 min in the new uptrend, causing the dillema of what to use.

Thoughts?
 
timeframes for trading....use the alexander elder method..ie multiples of 5
so a 1 min trigger with 5 and 30 mins
 
eurgbp..this wont capitulate in an orderly manner.been creating lots of shorting opportunities though.its back in the death zone again.it is a slow painful death

a flipped chart of the ftse100.basically,the chart is turned upside down.it is supposed to make it easier to find a trend.........!!!!!!!!
so if you stand on youre head and look at this flipped chart you might find a trend.you will probably get vertigo while you are looking at the chart
eod data.50 point box size 1 box reversal hilo plot

well.posting a chart with comments gives me a record of what i was thinking at the time.whether it be right or wrong.the best way i have learnt over the time is to take criticism from other traders.this is by far the best learning mechanism.so feel free to tell me what you think.the other thing that is useful is to go back to the posts and see what went right and what went wrong previously.and try and learn a bit more
so,wallstreet,if you have the software ,please could you post some market profile charts.
every little helps..!!

Hi Dentist,
Interested in the mp coding you mention on elite. I've been trawling through the forum but couldn't find the thread. Any chance you could post a link if you know?
Thanks
KJ
