I'm not sure what you mean in that I need to wait a another few hours for confirmation.

the fact cat wasn't based on the pink/lime CCs? .. if not those lines confused me

Price moves from a daily+ extreme

Price closes over a line

Price doesn't close over a line


"A <--- LINE"

I know I know. But having those lines help me learn about its importance and how price reacts to that area. At some point, maybe I will have a line. But for now, I am learning about which lines are more significant. btw, welcome back.

Now, I've got a whole lot more lines because I am looking at extremes and bodies.

Still trying to perfect this method so I'll post my charts for comments (hopefully from MO).

Image

This is GU. Once candle 2 closed over the line, I tried to enter at or near the line. Any comments are welcome.

Here is another. I figured that i can't get help unless I start posting.

Image

This one is a little more confusing as there are potentially other lines that are more significant that the ones that I chose. I am not sure which extreme is important to signify the initial reversal (line a or b)

I am still confused on entries. "Trade off daily+ extremes" is very vague to me.

Again, what do you think is the significant S&R line in this chart? The initial blind mouse charts would indicate line "a".

In this chart, the second number 3 candle crosses an S&R line and indicates a continuation? Would you advise trading that continuation? Or wait for the reversal?

Just tell me when I should stop posting charts.

First let us go back over a few important things.

Complexity Rule: never analyze a chart that is less than 1/8 the chart being traded; a monthly chart (1/12) should not be used to trade a yearly chart & a 3H chart is the smallest chart that can be used for analysis (1/8 of a day is 3 hours).

A small TF (<1/8) borrows strength from higher TF PA; nothing on the small TF is worthy of consideration.

Rule of Moving Parts: a CC should not contain more than 3 periods of time.

Rule of That Damn ZL Indi: don't use it.

Rule of Which Way: bodies show the way, price closed over what line?

These should solve the majority of your problems.

I don't think you comprehend the extent of my problems. :)

I am trying to use H8 candle as my STF candle except this is the only way I know how to see it. I am not using H1 candles to trade. I would like to trade daily extremes and since you suggested that we should not combine more than 3 candles, I am using H8 as my STF candle. edit: ok, now using a period converter to show H8.

Removed ZL indicator...check.

So when trying to identify reversals, should I be more focused on line a or b in the charts?

Entries are still a little confusing. I am looking for daily extremes but they are everywhere. So which ones should I focus on? I have been focusing on the ones that are ZLs of momos. I enter at that point (using 1/4 or 1/2) and then wait to see if price closes over a line to add to my position. Any thoughts?

oh btw, I think I have overcome my need to over trade (which I think was one of my biggest obstacles). I trade no more than once per pair per day. Thanks MO.
