Hi Patch & Crocop , good questions , I'll try to answer with todays am. trade .
Saw the Sema at the open & entered @ about 3:20 . Then for over 2 hrs the market stalled & went nowhere . This is a good example of why I like the range bars . Only 4 or 5 bars were formed in 1.5 hrs because price was moving in a tight range . ( 10 range means price has to move 10 pips to form a new bar ). Now look at the 5 min chart , 25 + bars showing dojis, hammers , spinning tops ,etc . The trader is constantly on edge , emotions are rising & after 2 hrs of this he is ready to pull the plug & just get out at any cost .
The range bars have spared the trader some of that stress .
Also , Patch , The Hanken Aschie bars keep reminding the trader that MOST of the energy is coming from sellers , so keep holding ,all is well .
(BTW Patch , I know traders who don't make 40 pips a month ..good job )
Crocop , 15 sl sounds about right on average , but look at this trade . I set the stop above the last swing ( 18 pips ) and it was within 1 pip of a stop out . Of course if you had jumped out there was another cchance to get in again . Yes , the channel does move with the price , it has to . Look at it as a positive , if the sema keeps moving it is giving you a better price to get in at , sort of a "blue light special "
Hope this rambling explanation helps ..Trust the Sema ...Chap

Good explanation, dchappy.
Take note of the size of the body of the HA bar - it tells you the "energy" level. Its relation to the wicks is also very interesting

I didn't spend a lot of time looking. I went to nonags.com and found world clock time.

It installs nice and has LA, NYC, UTC, London, Tokyo & Sydney as the defaults.
Quick and easy. --Patch

Good eye Crocop , but I was hoping you would'nt see that . I actually overslept and missed the first entry . Woke up at 4:00 and entered at the 2nd chance @ 1.4110, rode it for 50 pips before I had to leave for work . But , you are correct , I would have been stopped out when price broke the last swing . Dumb luck saved me once again ..ha !
BTW what a nice move today , hope you caught some of it .....Chappy

Congratulations on another great day, I didn't see that sleep in thing cause I was asleep also. And should be asleep now.
Wow, USDJPY just took off long about 15-20 pips. These MT4 chart confuse the heck out of me. The bar size is all about scale and a moment ago I saw that the scale was .5 pips=long bars!? Is there any way to specify the length of say 5 or 10 pips standard on a chart? I will save that for another day. Kick pip puts this morning!!! -Patch
