I trade m5 and have on average 2 trades a day. It seems that you can get a lot of trades on m5 on 8 major pairs. However, if you stick to Gavin's rule of having trend alignment on at least three timeframes, you don't get a lot of trades. My problem ...

An earlier trade I took on JPY. See how much price went up after the TP was hit while I only achieved a R/R of 1:1. I missed the majority of the up move. If I had placed 2 contracts and left the 2nd contract to run by moving SL to break-even, a down ...

An EUR futures trade I just took in TWS paper trade account. I looked at both TWS futures chart and the EURUSD chart of MT4. One thing I'm struggling with is trying to find high R/R trades. Both Malcolm and Gavin claim that they set their RR target ...

Most of the traders that post here are not full time traders. They have their day jobs to take care of and they barely have time to trade, let alone to post trades real time, especially when most of them trade small time frames like m5, m3. There's ...

Since Malcolm no longer drops in, I have to ask others this question. Attached is a chart posted by Malcom back in 2011. It is a monthly chart for 6E, the euro future, from 2004 to 2011. Does anyone know how he got years of data on one chart for 6E ?

Thank you hiero for your feedback. Locationwise I like the third entry on your chart the best cause by then the m5 trend already reversed, while the first two entries were still in a down trend. Just have a question here, can a test bar be an up bar ...

In the attached chart, I found one entry point based on VSA principle. It was a down bar with volume less than the previous two bars. However, the entry seems to be too late. Can anyone find an earlier VSA entry point on the chart ? image

Retail sentiment can sometimes be used as contrarian signal. Yet it's not consistent.

Cycle measurement: the easy way

Generally don't look for S&R on charts less than M5. You can look for S&R on M15 and above. If you find S&R on M15 you can mark it on M5. S&Rs on higher timeframes are more powerful. S&R on daily and weekly charts can be very powerful.

A little help with PA and S&R, please

Exactly. I cann't agree more.

Hi SP, I benefited a lot from your great thread. Here I have a question. From the charts you posted, it looks that you don't take a trade everytime price approaches the critical levels (weekly close, previous day high/low, etc). How do you determine ...
