Here is a current picture of the eur/aud a couple of hours later. I liquidated out at the blue daily line I should have held on longer. But these levels get pretty subjective. You do the best you can... sj

I just wanted to post up this eur/aud 30 minute chart. I shorted it as soon as it came out of the pac & liquidated it as it touched the daily open line. (picture is just a few seconds after I liquidated out). sj

iCarumba, It's a little early for a 4 hour set up. I start looking at the 4 hour chart at the candle change before the London open. 1st look at the daily, then the 4 hour, then the 1 hour. Get a real good feel for the trend by analyzing the daily ...

Yenvila, The apb's read similar as regular candles. If it looks like a pin bar it is a pin bar. Same for engulfing bars & inside bars. I think apb's are easier to read than candles. sj

Haydo, You always want to use the wicks. The wicks are very important, for example pin bar set-ups. The "shadows" tell us where the bulls & bears fight it out & who won. The wicks could determine where the market will go next. sj

Cigarguy, Do you specialize in short term counter trend trades? Nothing wrong with that I was just curious. I traded the 15 & 30 minute charts this morning & did very well...(no moving averages, just the pac). sj

Zef, I trade what my charts tell me. I have found that if I don't listen to the fundamentals or the news I do much better. Non-Farm payroll is about the only time I don't trade the markets & stand aside. sj

Venvila, Their were some excellent set-ups in the N/Y session today. The 1 hour & 30 minute time frames were cooking... Welcome to Tms. sj

Bk8, I think the macd is a very slow indicator (not sure where you got 24-52-9 settings ?). I think the Tdi is a much better indicator. sj

Tollazor, Some people move their stops to b/e as soon as possible. Some people don't. For example I put in trades then go to bed & I don't move my stop loss. I think it depends on how you trade & where you live & how closely you monitor your trades. ...

Fortunemaker, I'm not Emmanuel. But the 20 sma, 50 ema & 200 ema are all used for trend analysis. 1). 20 sma = short term trend. 2). 50 ema = medium term trend. 3). 200 ema = longer term trend. When your using these moving averages, trade "away" ...

Hello everybody, (Australia session, my Sunday afternoon) I've been looking at the charts this weekend. Looking at all the different level indicators. We want to keep things simple & clean yet effective. So on my charts I'm only using the, 1). Apb's ...

Emmanuel, What do you think of (active traders) just trading the 4 hour chart without looking at the daily at all. Just stay on the 4 hour chart & don't look at anything else & just trade the signals? sj
