I don't think this is enough to go back far enough in time. MTF Arrow calls arrow, which has hard coded limits of 950 bars back. 13 Aug is roughly 17,000 M5 bars ago. I tinkered, set the limit to 30000, and called it "MTF Arrow longhistory", ...

That's popularised by Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers url It's more that it takes 10k hours to master a skill, or become an "expert", or to be successful. It's "true", I know it to be true. But it's also my weak point. I have many "excuses", but ...

I might be stating the obvious for some, but the few candles pre-NY open seem to be very powerful. Genesis predicted a few good moves in the 30 minutes before NY open. More so than pre-London open.

I am not new at this, but I would avoid this trade as it's the lead up to the NY open in 40 minutes. That said, I am USDJPY long, because I didn't consider exactly this.

Well, AUD long worked out. Had to go out, so I took partial profits at the time, and then set TP to just before R1.

Me too

Yes I had seen that, and in fact just re-read both divergence posts. My mistake was in forgetting about them.

Genesis Matrix Trading

Thank you both. Must sharpen up my divergence skills. Actually, must remember to consider them.

AUDUSD buy - failed — I just took this AUD long, and it bombed out quickly. M5 and M15 stochs were good, and the longer term trend appears to be up. Is there anything I missed that should have kept me out of this losing trade?

Sorry to hear that, David. I'm really glad I found VO-Pro, and I use it all the time. I spruik it a fair amount too. Did you have any success talking with brokers? I think that was a strategy of yours some time ago.

A big day for me — Well, today, I amped up my attempt to take Genesis seriously (I mean no disrespect). I fall for the common fault of trying to track many systems at once, not wanting to let the (cough) holy grail slip through my fingers. ...

I'd guess that it's the maximum pips you would have gained in a trade if you had picked the absolute top|bottom

Very observant! This one goes straight to the pool room.

And just the traditional LH/LL and HL/HH? I know it's a basic question, but to some it's still discretionary. I guess I'm just trying to tune in fully with the Genesis way.

How do *you* look at higher timeframes? — So we should not be trading against the higher timeframe trend. I'd like to see how the seniors and other profitable traders go about this. Currently, I just zoom out, still on the M5, using the minus ...

I'm in it too

Genesis Matrix Trading

Thanks for the insight. More to consider. But from a Genesis-ish point of view, how did the entry stack up?

Genesis Matrix Trading

I've also been in USDJPY long for a while, but wasn't brave enough to admit it :-)

Also, genuine thanks to the seniors here. You might feel like you're repeating yourselves a lot, and find that frustrating, but many of us attempt to soak up everything that's shared.
