I awoke tired today and traded +C off Daily charts on NC, EC, GC, CJ --and also entered a ridiculous GA 30 min. short trade too, that was bouncing long off Support. C was clearly strongest then, and A was middling and ranging, but because I didn't ...

Here's the 30 minute sand-timer that I used today--barely. After starting the timer I saw set-ups on Daily charts that I liked after only 2 minutes and opened a basket of trades. 30 minutes is a long time for me to sit quietly and watch prices. I ...

Agreed! And thank you for your comment. With traders anticipating good C news, C was being bought several hours before C news. Unfortunately, I bought C too late, at Support on several pairs, and ate some unnecessary losses. This remains a bad and ...

Greed at the wrong time can be expensive. Watch the charts, time of day, momentum, and get out when it gets quiet--instead of hanging around during a flat NY afternoon, hoping to get rich.

..and it is back! Stuff to work on: * Revenge-trading melt-downs that kill an entire month's worth of profits. Just stop that. Close charts and walk away. * Entry errors--like today's AN short--which was entered as AN long. I caught it ten ...

Reminders: Wednesday and Thursday this week I did well in pre-NY trades, then I entered a new basket of trades after NY Open, but before news 30 minutes after NY opened. And on both days the news reversed my basket of trades, and I spent the rest of ...

Good start to the day, with the G News Release, buying GC, GN, GA, GU and shorting EJ, CJ, AJ. Could do better to HOLD those trades longer--saw 30 min. bearish divergence on several Js, but exited those shorts too quickly. Later there was a (30 ...

The daily has been dropping since 25 April, is now at multi-month lows, price is within 300 pips of yearly lows, and this week has opened with two strongly bearish daily candles. Looks like a downtrend.

EUR/AUD

Good start to the week on Monday, NY open. But trading Asia open Sunday night would have been much better--getting in on +A, +N trends much earlier, and with little schedule news, and Trump continuing to do crazy things like declaring Canadian steel ...

I usually draw horizontial lines on 30 minute charts from the most recent high/low. Sometimes I add Daily uptrend/ downtrend lines, if they've been significant, or recent daily horizontal highs and lows, if the 30 minute lines look vague.
