THE BASIC LEVEL



By tymen1 at 2008-08-30


Knowledge Assumed :
Having read much of the Candlestick thread and being able to find quality patterns on the Bollinger bands.

Charts required :
Only the main chart with timeframe ranging from 20 minutes to 1 hour.

Restriction :
Only the 4 major currency pairs should be traded.




Method :
1) Set a PCI stop loss 3 pips higher/lower than the extreme wick of the pattern.
No rush here – as long as it is done before you enter the trade.

2) Enter 2 amounts on the open of the entry candle by clicking the Direct Deal ticket. (DDT).
(DDT preset to 2 amounts.)

3) Close one amount with DDT when price action hits 10/12 pips away from your entry.
(DDT preset to only 1 amount.)

WATCH) Watch the Floating Profit/Loss in case of break even for the 2nd amount.
(Explanation is in Common Procedures above – methods 1 or 2).

4) Close the 2nd amount when it has reached a much larger amount or your target profit is reached.

END.

A truly outstanding presentation, Tymen! If there were any lingering doubt, let it be made clear: you are a very great asset to this forum. I'm sure this will elicit much discussion. Enjoy your week off, if you can stay away.

wow that post was consuming me Im still starting to learn more about these charts and so far aside from babypips, ive only seen a couple websites that truly helps
but i think theyre the same and ive found this website Econtrader.com that does a little forex training too although the topic they covered for technical analysis is basic and limited it gave me a couple hints at least...
i dont know if there is a website out there like stock charts but its just dedicated to forex? what do you think guys? do charts apply to both stocks and forex or there are certain differences on the metrics used?
