The next two charts are a walk through of the last signal on April 11th and up to a few minutes ago. The left most chart is teh 4H right after the 4H crossed 80. Thus is a "2+1" so we expect price to retrace a little and then go back to the previous ...

Yes, 4H periods are standard to 4H chart (GMT in my case)...so all your charts should coincide. We are assuming we are not watching the 4H charts minute by minute and trying to live life instead So we assume we only know the 4H crossed in the 4H ...

It varies considerably..sometimes 2-3 times a day....other times 5 or 6 times a week. This past week has been very quiet.

Take a 4 Hr Long. It has fallen below 20 and risen back up to 20 or crossed at the close of it's candle. Ok, now go back and look at 1H. Where did it last cross the 20 up? Now the 30M? Now, if they all crossed say in the last 4 hours you can (a ...

I was in and out already on a short. More short moves still left in it....but need to be a little cautious it may blip up.

I only trade GBPJPY with this. But others have tried it on other pairs with success.

SO now that you read all that I hope you looked at the charts and thought to yourself..."geez there is a lot of trend movement between those groups of "3 lines". Yep...trade the reversals if you like...but trade the opposite too. Trade the trend! ...

So how do you use this in trading? The first thing is there is nothing fundamentally different here. This is just a broader picture of what happens with stochastics and how they lead us to pips. This is not a "new" method. You can make rules to ...

Below is a picture of a 4H chart. You can see vertical dotted lines....these represent a cross over 1 time frame in a 4H period. You can see vertical long dashed lines.....these represent a cross over 2 time frames in the same 4H period. Then you ...

There is a "window" of opportunity. A 4H candle provides us price movement over a 4H period. It is hard to know what the price was doing in those 4H's unless you watched it. Well, I don't know about you but watching a 4H candle for 4 hours is like ...

Looking at the chart below we can see that the 30M crossed the 80 at 20:30-21:00; the 1H crossed at 20:00-21:00 and the 4H crossed much later at 04:00-08:00 the next day. We are not using the 15M because it simply isn't required at this stage, we ...

To see the multiple time frames and how the different 80/20 crosses affect the entire trade you could plot the time each cross occurs on one chart like the 4H. This gives you a "dump" of time data on a single chart but it is still hard to visualize ...

If you read this thread a little earlier I introduced two new concepts and have since removed them as I thnbk it was more confusing then helpful. So, here is another stab at explaining it. As we already know we are using the stochastics ...

Hmmmmm....maybe I should start this again and explain it better. Hold tight and I'll work on a clearer explanation of this stuff.

Ok, so our 4H closed below 80. Now we are waiting for some sync in the lower time frames. The 15M is moving up, the 30M is moving up. If the 30 and 1H peak above 80 and come down they become our new line and then we know if we have a "3" or a "2+1" ...

The same rules of entry should be considered...with all the time frame syncing. You can use the 15M to guide you with the 30M and whether to wait or enter. This will help you avoid wild rides.

The two are different. Remember the first is working on taking the data as it is dropped before us. Our filter is the time window. The second is grouping the data (defragging the stochs) so that we are concentrating on the time frame group. You can ...

Close. Let's say the 4H closes below 80 at 20:00. Now find out where the 30M and 1H stochastics are. Now look back and find when the 30M crossed the 80 and the 1H crossed the 80. Let us say the 1H at 16:00 and the 30M at 14:00. So on the 4H chart ...

To illustrate how to do do this type of chart you can follow the current GBPJPY movement. The 4H last candle closed at 81 on the stoch at 16:00. So now we have to wait for the 4H candle to close below 80....in 210 minutes or more. The 1H closed ...
