{quote} Open is fine. 1:1501 Do you mean the blue vertical line?
Blue verticals are the London Open for Forex in UK time ( 7am then 8am UK Equity market Open and 10am UK time ) These are the "Killzone" ? for Stacey Burke type trading method - I hope.

He makes his 12 candle box zone (killzone) quite clear in his vids. NY time. Just convert to your time then convert to your broker time.

The 15 minute. Edit: The grey horizontal line at the top is a 4 hour support line back in August from the 22nd to the 31st August when it was broken to the downside. It has now come back but this is hindsight analysis. I don't think Stacey Burke has so many levels from different time frames. I imagine 4 hour puts you in the ball park then hourly and fifteen minute lay the areas for watching price action on the 5 minute ( my execution time frame) ? Constructive comment most welcome please {image} {image}
Zooming out certainly puts the 5 minute into focus !
What say you ?

It's a difficult day of trading for me. I had to trade E$ at major level and on the backdrop of possible intervention, so extra caution booking profit, not sure what might happen next. I'm done for the day and week. Cheers

Looks like there is a failure here and the range exhausted around 60%. But we are near London so it has still the capacity to hit previous low. I'll set BE incase.{image}

Damn. It did hit dol. Perhaps the next question is, will it closed above dol? {image}
How much did market pay you if you knew the answer?

The target seems to have already been reached and now a deciding point. {image}
Since you knew target reached and it's all about deciding point from here, what tools do you have to answer this trade entry question?

Look back my previous post, I mentioned learn scalping skills.

Correct. You begin to get the idea how professional traders move value.

Imagine if you hit 50pips every trading day. Risk 0.5% a trade, how much your gain in the long run assuming a 50% hitrate?

Don't be greedy with profit target. Don't expect the impossible to happen.

Thanks BW, still practicing.{image}
Lots of practise allow you to learn the detail nuances of the market. Key word - detail. You learn how to define the market according to the market as it is, don't make the common mistake to impose assumptions which has no basis.

Watch the clock always. Taken note of sessions open times, futures market open times, and stock market open times.

These are real market variables.

One of the most common reason for assumption is statistical observation. My advice is don't turn trading into a statistical speculation if you're trading value - stick with cause and effect logical reasoning, stay away from statistical mindset. You can't have both.

I'm sure you've learnt a bit this week. Keep practising. Remember, the best strategy is the one that directly address blindness in real time market.

The biggest mistake in trading is assuming you know the future market in real time by imposing assumptions with no basis and with no clear and complete definition.

Like everyone else, I'm constantly learning all the same.

Enjoy the weekend. Cheers

Now, it's time to address this algo thing again.

Why algo?
How is it possible that a market with so many participants under CBs supervision trade like an algo?

The answer is it's not the almighty Algo entity.

The commonality that link all stakeholders is the value of the asset. This common ground make the market look like a single algo entity on our chart. Cheers.

With regards to scalping, if the open line is the static mean. I use an indicator that dynamically determines the mean with standard deviation.

This valuation needs practice because we do not know what is the mean, what is fair value, under/overvaluation unless it is in real time. (I hope I am describing it aptly)

ENTRY:

There was a reaction at previous NY open, a good scalping opportunity but I did not take it, I want the big short here.

Now, if I still rely on the mean of dol and the previous days, it doesn't makes sense anymore because of how the price is overextended, it should fall already at the high of the week.

But no, it extended at MOL and to that little dol at the end of the month.

In my mind, THE MEAN SHIFTED! and perhaps that hit at dol (before MOL) is the overvalue!

So that's it, there was a violent reaction and I made a grand slam.

TP:

If indeed the mean shifted, then we cannot expect the close below dol but only around NY open.

But if the mean did not shift then around WOL is the mean and it might test the low of the week.

Now there seems to be fair value between LO and NYO as price just wanders at that range.

Considering it is friday and the ADR seems "very exhausted", I just closed my positions.

Translated to forex. We should just forget about forex or trading in general and learn why price move up or down just as you said. We should learn value.
