That market uncertainty I mentioned earlier spiked me out of AC.....tough to control at that speed!

A Little Breakout Here and There

TP 1 immediately hit, adjusted stops on TP2 AND TP3 and taken 50%. No pressure now. image

A Little Breakout Here and There

GU now triggered longs with conservative targets based on much uncertainty in current market conditions as mentioned earlier. image

A Little Breakout Here and There

Several other set ups left without me, but a couple of others triggered and are still in play. AC attached is one of those going up and down at present. image

A Little Breakout Here and There

It took it's time, but TP's 1, 2 and 3 all hit whilst I was asleep during Asian for decent profit.

I tend to agree with you, however, in the quest of improvement, a method is very likely to evolve over time, and in my case, it is always to ease the process to suit my particular style, whilst still maintaining the core principle that you ...

A Little Breakout Here and There

I've stayed away from the markets for a few days. There's no doubt of course that there's mountains of volatility ahead of us, and I've chosen to take what I can with the expectation of being in and out of markets for the time being, rather than my ...

A Little Breakout Here and There

In general a lot of what you say is sensible advice. I would also say keep any indicators used such as ma's to a minimum to avoid over complication, and trade only in line with at least the next higher t/f. Trade the h4 t/f nominally with ...

False Prophets

I think you need to re-think or re-phrase your original point, because I'm afraid your argument is full of holes as it stands, and I'd suspect many will draw the same conclusion, until you realise that your candles that you use are indicators in ...

False Prophets

Hey...if you only had a dot with no time on it or any calculation whatsoever, then you would be completely clueless what decision you need to make because you would have zero indication of where price has been and where it lies in the big picture ...

False Prophets

What do you think then a candle is for! It tells you where price has been and where it now is....it is an indicator. If you didn't have a candle, or line or any kind of reference, you would only have a dot where price currently is! You need a ...

False Prophets

I disagree...it isn't a tool that fools you, it's the user of the tool fooling themself! A tool remember is required for everything we do in life (in one form or another) If you want to walk somewhere you need legs for example. So you need to define ...

False Prophets

Hi, I am not pursuing the Ichimoku approach now tbh so it wouldn't be prudent of me to continue discussing Ichi any further, sorry. Granted it can work and clearly does so for some here, but it's too ambiguous and not obvious for the way I like to ...

Kumo Twist Acceleration: simple and profitable strategy

It's straightforward Coloured cross = early warning B & W cross = entry The NC trade I jumped the gun and didn't wait b & w cross, which cost me. Simple, without fluff and confusing terminology, or clouds and enigma codes lol

Kumo Twist Acceleration: simple and profitable strategy

I've taken a short position on NC m30 here. Reason: Early coloured cross. On this occasion I haven't waited for b & w confirmation cross, mainly because the move will be almost over against this smaller t/f if I did wait, and given the fact my tp ...

Kumo Twist Acceleration: simple and profitable strategy

Hi, I agree that the way it's been described is almost bound to confound everyone. Stony knows what he needs and wants to see, but conveying anyone elses' thoughts is a hard task for most people, and imo it's always best to completely simplify the ...

Kumo Twist Acceleration: simple and profitable strategy

Hi H....I've had a quick look at the 3 bar swing and yes it looks pretty good I've gotta say (an understatement actually!. I have added a main semaphore to determine direction instead of a MA, and at first glance if I took the signal direction ...

A Little Breakout Here and There

Agreed H, there seems to be a lot of ideas flying around now, and various different inputs. I stepped back in order to minimise the thread becoming distorted too much, and to allow it time to find it's feet. I guess it becomes a question of what ...

A Little Breakout Here and There

The method I use for this strategy is flexible in that I have clear rules for a number of different formations, which cannot be addressed in a single post, and requires some understanding of pa (plus t/ls on occasion, which I won't go into here to ...

2 Candles SETUP

Personally, I don't use coloured bars for this strategy and rely only on the HLC levels which keeps me focussed on price, so I can't comment on the colours that you have noticed on your own chart.
