That is exactly right. Also watch the 4hr and 1hr as a pair and how the levels get respected.

Summer volume is down... too
thats why its been a little more difficult

wanted to ask about big bars on breakout swings. Not so long ago we talked about putting a fibo 0,50% and 100% level on the biggest bar on 15min breakout swing and watching for retrace and a bounce off the levels.

Would you also say thats this valid on higher timeframes price seem????respects this levels attached is example of 1hr chart.

Appreciate any comments/feedback.

Thanks.

Thanks Doji appreciate feed back.

Your signature link videos about summer trading is exactly what im experiencing. Short spurts that don't go any where. Thing that is protecting me is taking profits on my first target and not pushing for more.

Also this summer period has temper my trading discipline.

There are two forces acting upon us: Suffering pushes us forward from behind and pleasures entice us and pull us forward.

Hey Judokamak,

sorry, i missed your post

I do look at 4hr and 1 hr dragon lines once in a trade to determine how far I can go. In conjunction with that, I mark zones and im very confident once price breaks a pre planned zone that im right so i dump on the stacks. I don't feel the need for there to be a profit zone.
Those kind of trades come not at often.

Everything falls into place when you focus on position first:

One trick to calming your nerves, when trading small charts, is to construct a chart using P4L period converter and delaying the data by 3000ms.

Nothing bad is going to happen in 3 seconds that wouldn't happen in 1.
