There is no need to use P&F charts unless that is what you really want to do.

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.

Yes i got a bit overexcited as perusual and after thinking
it through i will be sticking with the weekly+ until i start
seeing more progress.

As for whether or not you should include the 28 min im not sure :D
The one thing that springs to mind is i like a chart around the
hourly size with 3x cc's.
I really like these for comparison and looking for price to reach.
I'd say a large CC (compared to recent past) is a good place to
look for a sexy extreme on the 7 min. But then again im sure u can
see this on the 7 min. So maybe 56min CC's? Just trying to help :P

So with this setup you have, im lead to believe
your only wanting to trade the current weekly extreme's.

My question (if this is what you do) is do you
trade before a weekly leg is made?

Example could be, last week a leg long was made and
price dropped in just above the 83.33% ret.
Price then made a nice swift (daily leg) into the 16.67% ret and
didnt go further, droping a bit and then week close.

Would you then be looking to buy weekly lows and try catch
the expansion/new leg?

Hope this isnt to off the wall.. been a long day and its very late.

Weekly+ means to weekly and beyond!

Sorry, I had a Buzz Lightyear moment...

This is how easy it is:

I) the chart that I am trading IS THE 7 MINUTE!

II) my position just happens to be the WEEKLY+ extreme
--->FOR EVERY TRADE<---

again?

I am looking to the 7 minute for the trade & I am looking to the weekly+ for position.

How is this done?

I) I draw my space from the extreme

II) I see a reason to enter on the 7 minute chart

III) I enter a limit order on one of the retracement lines or place
a market order for x lots prior to the breakout of said line.

Kewl, I'm in a trade...now what?

I) I look to take profit and reenter for more lots at a higher(?) price

II) I might trade to the higher(?) price for a better position or an even greater number of lots.

III) I keep the goal in mind: a LARGE position PRIOR to the weekly+ expansion.

There is no VooDoo, there are only 3 steps:

I) Position
II) Lot Size
III) Expansion

repeat until your eyes bleed.

Didnt get any longs so im trying to trade back into my range.
Oversized my position so its back over the current weekly high
so i have some extra space to play with.

Short is 3/9 at 1.2616. Target is a nice big spike down.

Ok so i basicly chickened out.
9 lots at 48 pips was to much to handle.. took all profit.
Hopefully i will get some range expansion tomorrow or later.
