When price touches a 250 level then you can use that as an extreme instead of using a weekly+.
If price moves beyond the 250 then you can look to intercept price with space drawn from a +125.

I think that I am going to stick with candle charts for the foreseeable future:

7 minute, 28 minute, weekly, monthly.

I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should include the 28 minute chart as the monthly is not of great importance.

OK, I'll bite... what is the reason behind using 7 minute charts, MO?

Hi TRO :D

This is quoted from the MO's own thread.

"My trade chart is a 7 minute chart simply because there are 1440 minutes in a day and 1440 7M candles in a week; you could say that the 7M chart is the 'minute chart' of the weekly candle (or pseudo daily candle)." MO.

Hope this helps :D

I believe he said something to the effect of there being

1440 minutes in a day

so by using 7 minute candles there are

1440 candles in a week?


Seems completely reasonable to me

The EU is trying to be funny stopping 3.6 pips from the Crash Zone...
I am thinking 2413 based on the weekly chart.

Its just over my 83.33 S/D and ive seen something i like
for a possible long.

I have dragged my space from the 50% of the leg
and a bit into S/D as im hoping this will be the weekly low.
I feel this is a risky trade as im still uncertain of how to place my space.
(playing it at the extreme that i want to pass is alotta pips and more
risk then i can handle).
Other then that im hoping for a weekly expansion long.


quote boxes r cool.

P.S that was long at 1.2526 3/9

What is your reason on the weekly for expecting this?
