some observations: -the pin was pretty average in size (compared to previous bars)& the close was below the open. but there certainly are pins like this that work well. -this was a H1 chart. ideally, we start trading H4 & up, as lower TFs are pretty ...

yes, it was a small flip but worth noting of if u wanna reduce risk to your trades. seriously, u have to be aware of any/all possibilities. u cant be complacent. when u cross a street, do u only take note of big humps/potholes or big cars.... & u ...

maybe u can restate your question? i got really confused,Sir u must be referring to Monthly R1 @13993, not monthly pivot why no two-bar high break? maybe because 'it's not yet time' &/or price is too weak to go up for now. maybe u ...

i remember that post/chart. personally i consider a presence of divergence even if it forms from non-consecutive swing high/lows.(that chart as an example) i dont always play by the rules. u have to test it out yourself, see what u are ...

i thought i was 1 of only few who experienced the crash/disconnection. yesterday too, but today was much worst (i had difficulty connecting to Oanda for about 30-40minutes, aside from the other issues). anyone filed a complaint? does Oanda ...

study all/most of the charts here.. look at the seniors' charts& posts. sooner or later u will tend to create an affinity towards 1 or 2 or 3 traders here....their way of thinking, their way of trading. once that happens... well, that is the answer ...

just to add... 14.00 was a PPZ. notice how price cut through (/whipped around) 14.00 on at least 3 instances (see your chart). so i guess a 14.06 entry wont do well. downtrend + PPZ + TL (drawn by ppfx) = serious confluence against your trade of ...

i can see where u are coming from.. but pattern-wise, if u take a closer look, the first yellow circle has encountered a 'price stall' wherein it has made a 'triple/quadruple top' around the same area. whereas the 2nd circle has undergone a stronger ...

james16 Chart Thread

it's possible. but there is no divergence, if ever u inferred that there is one. (based on your chart; price made lower highs, MACD did too) the 2 encircled 'patterns' are not even remotely similar.... IMHO the former is less bullish than the ...
