Was looking for something else but spotted this nice 5M 2B. Entered after 1M bounced down off the xx75. There was a lower wick but took it anyway. Was watching what happened at xx62 as there's a 15M lower TL there. But price broke straight through ...

I interpreted the 15M doji (marked with the arrow) and the upper wick on the candle before it, and the shooting star before that, as a potential turn and this was followed by a 5M LH and continued down movement around 0830 GMT. Entered just below R1 ...

15M TL break again, in today's direction and above DP. Then 1M rejection of xx25 (not technically a Vantage HL), and waited for mid-level to break as well. I'd set a mental TP at xx50 but had to get out early for +14 (due to unrelated reasons). ...

Hi, Took this break a few mins after the news. (Was also looking for a 1M HL no wick, didn't get that but entered when I saw solid continuation above the TL - hence posting here and not on V's HL-LH thread). I didn't feel hugely comfortable with ...

Here's the 1M chart. LH before the arrow. Arrow is the signal candle (the red down candle) after the green pullback, no wick. Price is also moving away from the RN. image

EV style 15M TL break below today's open, and a Vantage 1M LH. Chart attached. There was a 5M HL before this but decided to wait due to wicks and heading towards DP and it did cross my mind that the general trend has been down recently. Fortunately, ...

Good start to the week. 15M engulfing off the DP, shooting star then a TL break. 1M LH no wick. I'm by no means consistent but when I stick to what I've learnt I'm more likely to be successful. I can't thank you enough V (and EV for recent 15M ...

Vantage, based on your experience, in general what significance do you place on the colour of a shooting star or hammer? E.g. the one you refer to shortly after 0930GMT news closed up compared to its open. I guess I would consider the colour ...

FH 15M/1M — Hi Saw this 15M hammer off the trend line (rejecting a breakout and open) and got in on 1M HL. Target was M3 20 pips hit. Moved stop to BE just before LO at +10 Haven't been happy earlier this week with news and chop around the ...

LH — Hi, Saw LH after LO. H1 was down, last M15 bar was down. But a distraction here gave me a late entry... and then my 10 pip SL got hit . The red line is a support from yesterday that caused price to move back up to my SL. Otherwise ...

Hi Vantage, There's what I think is a LH to the left of my down arrow on the M5 chart. High at 5811 compared to previous high at 5828. Or am I misunderstanding something? (The arrow is marking the candle where I entered, after the LH)

Type 1 turn GU — Hi, Post 1 type 1 turn trade today. H1 run up then a SS that closed at LO time, checked 15M candle was also down. 5M started to form a LH. Price broke TL, paused and continued past the (by then) closed 5M LH candle. Got out at ...

LO HL — Hi, I've been thinking about why I should not have entered at the HL confirmed by the LO 5M bar. Reasons include: - heading towards a round number. Recently broken but would be better for the signal to be above that. - 15M candle just ...

2B or not 2B, that is the question :-) — Hi Vantage, GU at LO, 5M gave us a positive close then a fast negative move of the same size plus more. However, on the move up price didn't 'penetrate the previous high' (quoting post 1). But it does ...

Ok, thanks. So to confirm my understanding of the 4 arrows: - Was the 1st a 2B fake breakout? It also had a reasonable 15m candle. - The 2nd was an entry following a HL but waiting for some movement? I guess one would also have had to watch what ...

Hi Vantage, May I ask, for the 3rd arrow (LO), if you gave any consideration to the fact that price had already moved the daily range? Thanks for sharing btw, I'm learning much from this thread. Saylu

Thanks Luckylady, I should have known better. I normally have left my desk by this time so didn't consider the LDN/FF open. I've been considering avoiding trading exactly one hour before this for similar reasons - LDN forex traders starting early ...

learning opportunity? — I know losses are inevitable and I'm still practising entries but just wish to check if my entry was valid here according to the rules. Entry was short at the price marker. I held on despite the opposite 5M Trix signal ...

Hi - I'm demo-ing on a separate platform - spreadbetting. But I've marked entries using price markers on that screenshot.

Getting there — Demo-ing again after having to re-build my PC. Got two successful trades today. Chose to look for counter trend as the daily range was already around 100 pips. Hence went for smaller, 15 pip TP. Got that on GU and a few minutes ...
