Very nice trade Porifiro, again you decided to stay in this one instead of reversing at the earlier long signal on the 16th Sept - very well done!! For the new long trade, wouldn't today have been the entry day as the pivot / fractal / 1-2-3 has ...

I notice that you are still in an AUDCAD short trade from the 9th Sept - what stopped you reversing this trade on either the 16th Sept or 21st Sept as there appeared to be long signals on these dates?

Aha!! — Aha, ahora está claro!! I had thought you didn't use the fractals for a signal on the D1 as with Chantal's method, instead you looked for the yellow x to appear as part of the TMA indicator, and then entered the following day after one ...

Ok, interesting. Why was 15 Sept not a buy then please? I see an yellow arrow on the daily, then on the 30 min price was above the 100MA with TMA heading up. Why was this different to the 20th? This will maybe explain how you filter out trades....

GBPCAD - did you take the trade on the 15th Sept, or do you wait for a signal only when price is at the outer TMA band?

Gracias amigo. So you usually use the daily to set your SL, using the last extreme of price i.e. last swing low / high, rather than looking on the 30min for the last swing low / high?

Thanks Porfiro, that is useful. Hopefully you will keep posting your trades so we can learn some more!! I see a couple of trades that went "wrong" in the past couple of days e.g. EURJPY, however I notice it would have had an approximately 90 pip SL, ...

Of course. Which pairs do you trade the system on? Also how do you deal with moving the SL during the trade please? Do you move to BE after a certain number of pips, and then just wait for a triangle in the opposite direction, or do you trail the ...Trading Price Pivots

Yes that would have been a nice trade. So seems you are looking for reversals of trend, rather than going with the trend, very interesting to know - thanks for the help in understanding!

USDCAD — So in this previous example you had entered the USDCAD long around the 28th July, which was doing very well. But prior to this, in the white circle on my chart there were 2 previous d1 fractals, one long then one short, but I see no ...

Yes, I get the piece about entering on a retrace on the 1hr once the fractal has appeared on the d1. What I'm still not clear on is when a d1 fractal is "valid", and when it isn't. The original post stated they must be at "Price Pivots" e.g 1.1000, ...

Hi Kowalczky, Interesting strategy. So is 40 pips the "magic number"? I notice on Sunday EURUSD had gapped down ~33 pips, but XAUUSD moved up on open according to my MT4 broker chart. Did you trade this?

GU — Interesting area on GU at present for a short. 1) Strong area of previous support. 2) 76.8 fib and 1.618 extension confluence. Only problem is there isn't a bearish 4hr trendline nearby, and the daily one is quite a way off. And also I ...

EURUSD 4hr — 1) At top of bearish channel 2) 76.8 Fib retracement 3) Previous R area. 4) Evening star CF Similar picture on EURJPY as well. Overall a pretty good looking trade, but conscious that EUR may be considered oversold and ready to ...
