I think a line chart is the most overlooked piece of equipment in any traders tool box. As most are accustomed to candles or bars, a line chart delivers a more "pure" form of price, without all the mind bending and psychologically confusing wicks on your chosen time frame. This is what price actually did

As most are accustomed to candles or bars, a line chart delivers a more "pure" form of price, without all the mind bending and psychologically confusing wicks on your chosen time frame. This is what price actually did, instead of a candle chart showing you what it tried but failed to do, or tricked your psyche into believing was going to happen. It was with the aid of a line chart that I discovered other perspectives on price, what it's doing, and likely direction....
well, a line chart is for deep pockets, 2nd, no way you can be acurrate on line chart (especailly stoploss levels), once you understand that every move of price is there for a reason, you will imrpve your trading to another level. But many don't bother going on lower timframes cause they treat it as "noise". Every spike on smaller timeframe gives you always the reason why any move was made, talking about PA and volume analyses.

"Think about it! Is it more important to have the exact entry, or be more confident in the intended DIRECTION."

Both are equally important imo, cause they both represent RR.

We are slowly turning into a trade thread.....

On Monday morning 19th Feb UK Time , we will have a 15 minute candle which will open at 08-00 and close at 08-15 (a 15 minute bar)

AND i will trade the break of it, whether High or Low. Hopefully it will have a bigger Range than 12.

That is my projection into the future lol.

If it fails we will then have a plan B..

Have a good week end all

A line chart is certainly pure.

But the most overlooked piece of information lies within the bid and ask price coupled with the % value change of related pairs.if one can read that information you will trade in front and with a slight edge .you could in fact not look at a chart .the less information as you have stated is an absolute .I don't see any threads that trade the data of the moment.charts are designed to confuse and conflict pure relevant data on intraday .

One of the issues is that a beginner can never really know what any one else is doing. No one knows what's in someone else's account, how many of them there are, live, demo, and you can't possibly believe anyone's stories, fish tales. And no one knows the technique used or psychology or anything another trader does. So a beginner needs an absurdly hopeful idea that is virtually indistinguishable from a fantasy. From this starting point, anything can happen and everything does happen. Then the beginner has to find their own reality but even that isn't so apparent because we can be in denial. Beginners are also vulnerable to believing anything they hear or read, and vulnerable in believing that what they are doing is right or wrong and vulnerable to their own things that may work when they are wrong, fail when they are correct, etc. After 20 years, I'm glad I got through all of that and came out of it sane. It's a hard road.
big money makes big moves and then hides during small money chasing.
