trending pairs ?
over the ‘years’ - but i suspect this isn’t quite what was being asked. next post will be more of an effort to think about what was asked.
So a couple of what I may describe as a little more useful??? - – and a third of well - what should I see?
Other than the most probable winning trades, no.
But you’ve got it a little convoluted.
Convoluted - Yeah - two parts - one I just marked a couple outer swings the HH and LL and then a LH HL swing sort of at random just to point them out.
Part B - In putting thought into them, I don’t come up with a ‘set of rules’ -I’ll keep studying. Oh and there easy to see after the fact :33:
those charts ‘clear enough’ or should they be better?
All you have is “now”. Mark up enough of those charts, and you’ll get better at it.
Good enough to see the setups happening. Charts are fractal in nature. Use that to your advantage. Little swings turn into big swings. Little trends are part of long trends.
Could you have added to your account over the last 4 months using that chart marked out as I have it?
Zooming in to 4 hr chart :
I’ve grown fond of -I guess those thick dark verital about 100 pip lines – you’ll see 9 of them in the pic.
To answer the question - Could I have added to my accnt - - before now - absolutely no- - before i was in the 2% per trade mentality - with 15-25 pip stops - and although I tried spot on analysis - I typically was wrong or way overlevaraged - as because inevitably I’d find another set up and open a second trade as well - – this style – is and should be 'monitor the trade - well I’d go to bed - and wake up with a stop out.
Answering the question today with my current thought process - and my ‘system/style’ - - well it looks like 9 trades 9 wins.
this is based upon of course my interpretation of where I think your leading me.
I still need to wrap my head around ‘fractal in nature’ - sure I know what it means technically -but to apply it or visualize it - I need practice.
In retrospect - I’ve applied the same thought process to an earlier version -where I could verify some actual pro trades.
ok re-vamped nzd/usd chart - the convoluted one – - changing to a fractal sort of study::::
Ok - gimme an F for overthinking.
but your point on oscillation makes perfect sense - but I think there needs to be a definable place in which to oscilate - correct?
probably not but - here simply is 50% and end of swing lines. makes a perfect F every time.
Now there’s something I can “see” ;)…lol…interesting.
Ummm how bout this?
Open MT4 go to the monthly chart and press “-” button on the keyboard to zoom out, and then you can see which pairs have what type of enviroments, for example EUR/USD is now on a ranging phase on MN1 since 2004, but now looks like an uptrend is developing on a smaller TF like D1, but USD/CHF is now on a very big and clear downtrend instead on most timeframes.
