Now I have to say I didn't trade this one, this is just what I would be seeing

Trading pure price action. It hits the 4h "something" is rejected a little and then plummets down. If it's not trading up it's going........

As far as that particular something is concerned

I don't even see it on the chart


[highlight=red]just because there is "something" in the way

doesn't mean that price can't break it[/highlight]


Which as I said blows the entire theory of looking at higher TF zones as point of entry out of the water unless they are failed ones.

Is it a problem if they fail? You can trade them when they don't fail too

I actually assure you on that



Because we are just drawing lines on a chart, no one else knows they are there. So I don't draw them, then I don't expect reaction at something that may or may not exist

I look for a reaction and trade away from whatever caused it

just because I know where to expect a reaction doesn't mean I blindly believe I'll get one

and some times the reaction signals that it's going to break through said area

Doji is this another way of looking at it...

15Min zline break by closing below with a 15min rwd candle

When that occurs look into 5Min ema above entry trigger?
The blue ema is hard to see. But the price is above ema where red arrow is located.

Just trying to find the simplest way of what your showing...

Thanks again

I can only be left to wonder

but we're happy to have you when you find the time


So many things to do and so little time to get to them all.

I haven't been watching Forex lately as I am focused on the declining gold price.

This is my setup:

Trade Charts: D3, W1, or D9
Entry Charts: 150 Seconds (24 bars/hour) & 20 minutes (so that I don't get lost on a minute chart).

Chart type:
Chart is Heiken-Ashi w/ open at 56% & close at...
(Open[prev]+High[prev]+Low[prev] + Low[crnt]+High[crnt]+Close[crnt]) / 6.

Indicators: 6 EMA (peaks & valleys as LIS)

Tools: horizontal lines & Space.

1) Trade D3, W1, or D9
2) build a rocket ship (max size) to ride the large charts
3) use small charts to reduce risk

:arrow: Big charts,:arrow: big lots, :arrow: big money.
