Me too half the time. But I get others.

Missing a good move is better than placing a bad trade. I know it sucks, but worrying about it only leads to over-trading. If you didn't get a good signal there's nothing you can do about it. There's always more to come.

MT4 is just a fantastic fast to use great featured charting program. And is free. A lot of us trade on other platforms and use MT4 for the charts. You just have to be mindful of slight spread/quote differences etc.

Yes. I was in . Now out . Trendline break then pullback to your set-up.

Actually ...much less less than 1c per pip. Considering the time frame newbies should be sticking to, Oanda's negatives mostly aren't a problem. I personally think they're a fantastic broker for new comers to start with. No sizing limitations ...

Fading is pretty much entering without confirmation. (One example would be entering on a touch of a level just because you have a strong gut feeling it will reverse about there. ) So although it's not defined as scaling in/out of a position (has ...

Just to be clear... My way of trading pins in reverse involves fading the move when a pin is in the 'wrong place' kind of. Though, to me, it's the right place for that type of trade. I know where in a chart to do this and I don't play a break ...

I play pin bars backwards all the time. It's just like any other set up talked about in here. ....It depends on the placement in the chart against your confluences. You can bet though, when you get a pin with a really good long "pinochio nose on ...

Well done guys. It's worth it. You may end up with one trade in 3 weeks this time, but other times you will get a few quick 'A+' trades in succession. When you know this, the slow times are a bit easier to weather. ...A 'bit'. lol ...

You have to bite the bullet and just stop yourself. Nothing magic comes along and eventually stops you. You really have to be responsible for yourself right NOW. You'll be still doing the same two years from now otherwise. You already know what you ...

You hurting there now. I was trying to figure out what was so important about that level it just reversed at and just realised... ....Gap was closed. lol Nothing much could be done about it though, other than guessing. No decent signal. ...

We've all been there man, so don't give up on kicking the habit. It's not an easy one to break.

Are you always afraid of missing the next good move? Remember, we're after highly predictable moves with good expectancy. Not just about predicting the charts. You have to say no/miss a lot of strong price moves along the way to being consistently ...

There's no easy way. lol ...but if you read the first 50 pages you'll find most of the staples covered. It's really worth just nibbling at the whole thread over time though. You won't regret it!

But if you can trade properly and have the necessary capital you have a choice of time frames. If you trade for a living I'd bet you'd rather spend 15 minutes a day scanning your charts and then go off sailing, or golfing or flying or playing with ...

Damn!!! Missed my five minute entry on EU.

Especially for us Aussies. I've learnt to feel 'slow' days pretty well ahead of time, but staying up past midnight to trade the NY session every night smells suspiciously like social suicide. ...I'll trade it when I feel like it and conditions are ...

lol Can you post that indicator? And a template too please. :nerd:

james16 Chart Thread

They certainly do. When there's a top trade worth taking on the daily there's a sudden influx of posts pointing it out from every man and his dog. That's how easy this stuff is. THEY are the trades to take.

As a beginner , stick to clear non-interrupted trend lines for these trades. You have the general idea though. I drawn some lines I would use. You've actually chosen an ugly pair ( past week or so). My chart.... Not many trades the past week. ...
