You can do the same thing with M5 to D1. Just use M5 like I use M1 here and M15 and M30 like I use M5 and M15. You'll find M1 tightens the trades....using longer periods keeps you in the trends more. If you like to stay and play the trends use the ...

20 mins later..some action — 20 mins later.... There is lots of action here to pay attention too. One reason we use M5 closes is that we don't want to get thrown off by the oscillations of M1 too much. M1 is like a jumping bean on a pogo stick ...

15 mins later — 15 mins later...stay in the short Notice "1" on the chart. This %K is too far away to be considered "peaking" at "0". The only time we might consider this a peak is if M5 pointed up or our M1 line crossed the M5 line upwards. ...

10 mins later — 10 minutes later...stay in the short Really nothing to show here. Our M1 continues to fall and our M5 stays below the M15. Stay in the short.

5 minutes later — 5 minutes later...Short Entry/Long Exit 1. See how our M1 moves down towards our "down" Fixed Direction Line. 2. This is the M5 crossover of the M15. The M5 has moved across and fallen below the M15 line. Time to enter short ...

The quick answer is no. The stochastic do not change becuase of news. However be aware of oversold/overbought conditions. Best to play stochastic runs between 20 to 80 or 80 to 20.

I think you answered your own question.....you went in for a quick scalp..got 15 PIPS and didn't exit? I'd play this as more towards "elasticity". I'd be more inclined to sit and wait for the M5 to bottom out and grab the long...following M5 ...

Ponder This — I'll let you ponder this next one a bit. Think about why this is the short signal.....besides the M1 trigger. There are 2 major reasons and I've explained them already in the last 2 posts.

SP3 — This next move (at 21:15) is an upward move in a downward trend. I call it "elasticity" and you can clearly see it here. Our M1, M5 are down at the bottom and M15,M30 and H1 are much higher. These can be very lucrative trades and not. ...

SP2 — So skipping a bunch of moves it is now 19:30 and we can see in our second indicator how M5, M15 and M30 have moved up and now M1 is yet again (it would have cycled 3 times to the top) at the top at 90%+. See how I've drawn the line from ...

Well let's see if I can try. As you may guess and one reason why I think JD is having a good time is that he has MTF Stochastics well in grasp. However, I know that not everyone has such a good grasp of how the different time frames and stochastics ...

Because of the confusion around MTF Stochastics, I "simplified" the entry. Both are valid. This was orginally designed to make better entries with my MTF Stochastic strategies. However, the logic behind waiting for the M15 is valid MTF movement...it ...

This may help ease your entries...this would be much easier if we had an indicator for it <hint> Our M5 short trigger rings the bell. We wait for the M5 %K to close and fall below (cross down) the last closed M15 %K. Note on this chart the entry ...
