I'll continue another day. Questions and contributions are welcome. |
nennin:Good one man, keep it up. bigbasho:Wonderful I see you snipping all those pips, nice one. Exactly, the method confirmed it and in already. Good you enter on retrace so you don't have to be in drawdown. Kudos Bro. donblanco:E.g After 3 bull ("bull = buy candle", sometimes I explain more. I'm not saying you don't already know but to make it clearer for those who don't know) candles on bigger picture, you can wait for the 4th candle to close bearish, then zoom in. If you like don't wait, you can zoom in after 3 bull candles but most time market structure will keep you out from entering bad trades anyway (The higher Low would not be broken that way no sell signal generated yet) Ps: Sorry I'll post chart later.

Disclaimer; This is not new idea and I didn't create anything here. I'm doing this to help others, I'm not looking for anything in return. It's simple enough to understand, and can give anyone a strong forex background to build on. This will take you from a trader with no clue at all, to a trader with some clue. Is this the Holy Grail ? If you are searching for Holy Grail on public trading forum or even anywhere, then I wish you sweet dreams ![]() There is no need to use more that 1 moving average, so we are going to have only one. It doesn't mean to buy/sell blindly. It mean it aid you to make an idea of what could happen and where you are in market CIRCLE "there's different terminology, circle and all... it's not important, it's the idea behind it that is important". So basically we'll use the HH, LH, LL, LH info we learnt earlier with just 1 MA line (If you don't understand HH, LH, LL, LH... Read up on it, it's not difficult idea to grasp at all). Some extra info; we are not looking to trade MA lines, or MA cross, it's little bit more comprehensive. HH - Higher High, LH - Lower High, LL - Lower Low, LH - Lower high. Ps: If you've got no idea what forex is and it's your first time. Start from here to learn the very basic; https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex More Later....

For example you have 3-5 green bars each closing one over prior. The moment the pre and last bars fail to close above prior high of bar, then the momentum is weakened, it's logical. This is the moment to investigate in lower timeframes if there is sellers activity (exploit the bulls fear). E.g So because you are looking at the timeframe Daily, and you have 5 days (minimum of 3 bars) in the formation described early, you want too look at this pattern. So you start to "zoom in" on 1hr/4hrs to see the reaction to the MA LINE with market structure (HH,HL,LL,LH and HL ) to determine if the sellers have taking over. SO THAT'S ALL. You should give it a shot. Ask if something is not clear, I'm sure others here will help out.

This is very important, the most important to help increase your success. You need to look for minimum of 3 consecutive bars on the same direction with continuous trend on the bigger picture (DAILY or WEEKLY as bigger picture. That's where you're looking at for the overall direction of the market). When you get very good at it, you can go as low as 4hours(for bigger picture) but now stick to daily or weekly candle, 3 bars minimum. Don’t forget this is to teach especially new people. Stable and reliable way to look and enter the market, it’s not some 15mins system for get rich quick. You should look to trade this on 4hours, minimum 1hr. I’ll suggest 4hours, this way you could trade and still have a life outside of trading and not stuck on your Laptop / PC all the time. PS: Everything I put here is only half of the equation, you still have to learn money management. So you don’t put all your risk only in one trade. Ps: If you're using weekly as your big picture, then you zoom in to 4hours to pull the trigger. If you're using daily as your big picture, then you zoom in to 1hour to pull the trigger. Pps: Ask questions, post chart, try it out on demo. You don't get good at it by just reading on forum.
|
I'll post the conclusion now. It's nothing out of the ordinary. Almost same info as everything I have posted earlier. Take it and run it on demo, take your time. It will get easier. I won't mention advance things you could also do with it. First thing first. When people think forex, in their head, they usually look for something complex, some shinning tools to use for trading. It doesn't have to be so. Forex could be simple or complicated depending on the way you play it. When I say simple, it doesn't mean you won't put in some good effort. Ps: I'll open new thread later and put everything about this method in it. Everything absolutely free. I don't answer emails, so as not to give wrong impression. You can ask anything on here, no hidden agenda, so everything is open for everybody to see.

E/A, intra-scalp. nennin:Answer is 40. ( 148.050 to 148.450 )... Subtract/Minus ![]()
|
bigbasho:So true. That way you have less SL. Ps: Let me give you one advantage of this method. Say you enter a trade 50 SL and 100 TP. Your SL is not static stop loss, what I mean is that, when the market moves in your favour, you move and reduce your SL along. So that way if the trade goes against you, you might lose say 30 pips instead of the full 50 pips. Those few pips count in long run. nennin:40... Subtraction
|
kunletoks:Intuition and experience mostly, wait for some good retrace before buying again. Nobody can really tell 100%, you might think it’s overbought and market will continue shooting up. Another way you could play it is; Enter mostly on fresh signals to be safe You can enter with half your regular lot size , so you’ve 2 entries, cut one with good profit, set the other to break even and let the profit run. Ps: Will post the conclusion soon. To wrap the lessons up. |
amolak:With Experience you can buy but it's dangerous.
|
amolak:You don't buy when it's over-bought, you can enter and it will turn against you. You have to plan to enter buy when it's fresh entry. Also Sell when it's fresh entrance. No be after the market do go well well already. Coz then it's too late and the probability is stack against you HH - Higher High HL - Higher Low FOR... Up-trend ==================== LH - Lower High LL - Lower Low For... Down-Trend ============== For CHANGE OF TREND... From UpTrend to DownTrend HL- Higher Low must be broken. For CHANGE OF TREND... From DownTrend to UpTrend LH- Lower High must be broken.
|
Remember?? Edit- About filter, You need to see a strong move, that obeys the MA line without going up and down around the MA line.. You need to see the strong move before thinking about entering trades.
|
U/J Ps: Basic and good info to get anybody started on FX, the more experience have different method to enter market usually.
|
Another variation how to play it. Check chart below. Ps: Later today, I'll post the remaining info. That way you can put all together. You won't sit around looking to enter on all charts. You'll have specific thing you're looking for, then afterwards you zoom in into 4hours for your entry.
|
@Bigbasho All you need is time to comprehend otherwise its the more you look, the less you see . I still recommend you start with babypips. You're right. It would help and make things more clear for you. @kunletoks Yes set to CLOSE. Ps: Watchlist below. You should play it on demo as you are still getting a hang of it.
|
sojmann:Good one. It has broken the high, it's possible to come down to form HL, Higher Low. ** I meant to put Higher Low on the chart. nennin:Those are not bad too, it's tad difficult to use though, as they are subjective and not usually stand alone reason to enter market with. As you have to take into account where those candle stick pattern appears to be valid. Put an Indicator called Zig-Zag on your chart, it will help you with the HH, LH, LL, HL.
|
E/G can't create new Higher highs HH and Lower High LH (which is usually UP trend move) But now it's creating, Lower lows LL, with Lower high LH (Which is usually indicative of down trend)
|
nennin:That's okay Nennin, we have all been there and it's totally okay. First let start with what is it your don't understand?? I mean first thing. Do you have skype / Viber video call ?? We could arrange for that sometimes. You'll need access to a computer and MT4/5 . |
FILTER FILTER FILTER. This will help you to avoid bad trades. Before you enter at all, look at this and use it to guide yourself. When you trade, try to bag a lot of pips instead of going for small pips target, you can enter and set trade to breakeven after first retracement. Few more charts and that's all. Ask questions if something is not clear.
|
jammer777:I thought nobody would ask You'll have have different Simple Moving average on different timeframe. On 4 hours, it's 30 SMA.... It's to only appear on 4hrs On 1 hour 24 SMA... It's to only appear on 1hr On 30mins 50 SMA... It's to only appear on 30mins Daily 55 SMA... It's to only appear on daily amolak:Minimum 1:1 but you should let the profit run and cut your losses short.
|
Bellonaire:You're welcome Man, we should be there for each other when we can. Ps: I still have few things to post to bring it all together but that for later. We should work on this first. Pps: Nennin hope you're following too? I can answer any question? other people here can also chip in. |
More... I'll leave it here for now, for others to comment, contribute , share something and discuss. Ps: Another thing, avoid extended and more risky move. Personally I will avoid that, I prefer the first and fresh entries.
|
Mini Recap; 1, We worked on market structure ( Higher Low HL, , High high HH, Lower High LH, Lower Low LL ) , To determine Up Trend or Down Trend 2, I showed you when to enter and type of market to stay away from 3, Combining market structure with the MA Line Ps: With market structure, you should have a clue where the market is going. Check daily, move down to 4hours, move to 1hour, you should be able to see structure to determine/anticipate where the market is heading. If not, check another pair/currency. Pps : Chart below to show entry and where to put stop loss, SL.
|
What we are looking for is price to pierce deep through the MA line to form High/Low and and come back to find support at the MA before bouncing back up. See chart below. This way you are combining the HH, LH, LL, HL (market structure) knowledge with MA line. Ps: Avoid trades where price is moving up and down around MA Line ( that’s weak momentum ) Any question so far?? Guys should let me know if I'm not making sense.
|
Bellonaire:Nice answer man... Anyone else ![]() I'll post more info soon. |
nennin:Sorry which chart are you referring to?? Even if Low or High is created, you have to wait for it to be broken before entering or thinking about entering. redsox11:Anybody else want to help us with the answer?? |
From the chart picture below. From all you've learnt so far. -- The Higher high, HH, LL... stuff + the 1 MA line we are using; Questions; 1) Where is your buy entry?? 2) and why do you enter buy there? No answer is stupid or bad. This questions is especially for new people. Maybe after pro can help out with the answers too. Thanks.
