If you want to learn about the Forex market in the form of watching videos related to it then Youtube is the best source for the learning purposes. You can subscribe to the popuoar channels and push on the notifications and enjoy the learning in a visual form on daily basis. Thanks!
I would like to appreciate the efforts of video maker who tried to educate rhe newbies in an elaborated way. I think the charts which are less than 4h timeframe does not hold most of the indicators as well as candlestick patterns. Am I right?
True edmunds.lots of youtube videos out there on trading
1000s of them.
But like most things on the internet…you gotta figure out which ones give you the same recycled mediocre information…and those that give you what you need based on solid research and extensive periods of testing/trial and error.
Yes jonons…4H Charts and higher are more reliable. Fewer False Signals and whiplashes that leave your head spinning.
Smaller charts should only be used for Demo Trading when you want to just play around with the market for fun.
Higher Time Frames are for serious traders.

Hey traders
Recent trade of 60 Pips on AUD JPY provided a 2.62% Return on my Live Account to push my Return to 16% in 4 1/2 months - from just 13 patient trades. 1st target of 14% has now been hit - 30% next in line.
Enjoy.

I do not have much experience but as far as I am experienced, I think most of the indicators hold the efficacy onoy on the charts of higher timeframes. If you want to trade with lesser risk then you need to work on the daily or more than 4 hour charts. What do you think fellows?
I do not like / use indicators. However, any strategy has a better chance of being successful on these Larger Charts.
-
Fewer False Signals
-
Stronger Stop Loss Areas
-
Larger Pip Gains Per Trade
With this approach, most of your trades will be correct and provide you with consistent gains…
(A loss was incurred in 2017 up to January 2018 as this period was used to create the new strategies that began in February. That loss has now been erased. Use the Custom Analytics to confirm this)

Hey traders
Here is a trade made in the Dukascopy Contest that took advantage of a False Breakout Reversal Setup on the Daily Chart of the EURO NZD.
The trade provided a gain of 120 Pips.

Hey traders
CAD Pairs providing Setups that just need their Daily Charts to provide us with Strong Signals. Given that CAD Employment Data comes out today…those numbers could provide us with those Signals between today and Tuesday of next week.

Hey traders
This video describes how I accurately predicted the reversal now taking place on the USD CHF.
Once you know these 5 factors that usually lead to False Breakout Reversals - 2 of which apply to the USD CHF - you can predict and avoid the losses associated with them and then trade them as they make their way back inside of the Consolidation.
Lets see what happens with these forecasts for the GBP JPY and USD CHF that are expected to provide trade setups between today Friday and Monday. Enjoy!

…hey traders…if you check your charts now…you will see the USD CHF reversal signal as predicted.
Youll also notice the GBP USD gave the Bullish Reversal Signal as predicted…
Why are these reversals taking place? Due to the weakness of their initial Breakout Signals…the 1st of 5 possible reasons breakouts fail…
Lets see how much I can get from these pairs.

Hey traders
This is what is possible on the EURO USD…movement back to Range Support Boundary. Just need the right signal on the 4 H Chart.
Duane
DRFXTRADING
Well the EURO USD declined to its target in keeping with the forecast. Had doubts about the signal given by the 4 H - preferred if the Bear Candle exceeded the 2 Bull Candles by a greater distance which is why I traded it Demo instead of Live - but still proves the accuracy of the forecast and that targets of less than 50 Pips can be had once clear and justified.
See video forecast below once again and the charts of the trade as done on my Demo.

Traders!
Check out this EURO AUD trade that captured 66 Pips in just 10 Hours on my Live Account as I took advantage of the sharp rally on this pair that took place earlier this week. This was done with the Strategy of targeting gains of 50 to 70 Pips within 24 Hours.
Main Points from the Trade?
-
How to spot False Consolidation Break Reversals
-
Trading Targets to be used for these Reversals.
-
Entry Signals & Stop Losses to use on the 4 Hour and 1 Hour
-
Avoiding Unexpected Reversals.
I believe that Candlesticks offer much more for traders with the possibility of large turnover without Complicated Indicators or Conflicting Economic Data that just complicate things unnecessarily in a market that is already difficult.

TRADING METHODOLOGY
SUMMARY OF THE METHODOLOGY
MARKET SETUP TRADED
TRADING PLATFORMS USED
DETAILS OF THE EURO AUD TRADE RESULT
The trade took advantage of the False Consolidation Breakout Reversal Setup on the Daily Chart, as the pair headed back inside of its Range Setup following the failed breakout attempt below Support. Once the Double Bottom Signal was given at Support to start the reversal, entry took place with the Bullish Engulfing Candlestick Signal on the 4 Hour Chart, with the 1 Hour Chart being used for Stop Loss Placement ( done if Stop Loss on 4 H would be too large).
As you will see in the video, FXCM is used to identify Market Direction and Entry Signals based on the New York Close of the Daily candle (very accurate candles). However, my Live Trades are done with FXPro because you can see the exact % Values of your Risk and Reward for each trade and you receive email alerts when the trades are closed so you do not need to watch your trades. This helps to avoid the self-sabotaging habit of closing trades too early!

KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS TRADE
These short term targets are a lot more frequent than the larger targets of 70 to 100 Pips that I tried to capture. Once the rules are followed, large gains and faster turnover are possible. Plus since most trades close eithin 24 hours ans less as with this trade…waiting for your trades to hit their targets not that stressful.
You traded it?

Hey traders
I believe that avoiding market traps is just as important if not more than capturing profitable trading opportunities.
Today was an example of this.
As you can see below, the accurate warning I gave to the traders I help, averted trading losses on the NZD CAD as it reversed sharply. By using Candlesticks, it is easier to spot and avoid these market traps set every week that lead to losses.
Charts below. Video to follow.
OVERALL SETUP
Pair appeared to be forming a Pennant on the Daily Chart. With the Double Bottoms on the 4 H Chart, it was expected to give us a Bullish Entry Signal to continue higher to target what would be the Resistance Boundary…
DAILY CHART
4 HOUR CHART
Eventually the 4 H Chart started to show signs of providing the needed signal. However, it needed to be of a certain size to justify entry otherwise would be too risky…
CHART OF 4H - SIGNAL NEEDED
Instead of a strong signal, what was given was a weak signal that was too risky… I warned that this was weak and that trading it was not wise…
…and lo and behold…warning was spot on…
There are certain types of Candles that lead to profitable movements but if they are smaller than these, Candles have a low chance of leading to a successful trade…
…
The Key is being able to distinguish between the profitable ones and the risky ones that lead to reversals and unnecessary losses.

Hey traders
100 Pips on GBP AUD as the Pair Rallied in response to the Weekly Chart Double Bottoms and Daily Chart Counter Trend Line Break.
WEEKLY CHART
In addition to the Double Bottoms, there was also a Trend Line Break to support the rally as the pair looks to be in the early stages of the formation of a Consolidation Setup…
DAILY CHART
This was followed by a Counter Trend Line Break on the Daily Chart…
Breaks of these lines are strong indicators of the continuation of the existing trend…
Entry took place with the Stop Loss placed at the Uptrend Line on the 4 Hour Chart …
…and the trading gain that resulted from it…
These are the Setups and the type of Gains you can achieve with Candlestick Signals especially when used on the reliable larger time frames…
This chart represents the 2 approaches I use to take advantage of the larger Pip Ranges provided by the Daily snd 4 Hour Charts…
-
50 to 70 Pips
-
100 to 200 Pips
The key is being able to predict the 200 to 500 Pip movements of the Larger Time Frames and then choosing the Pip Targets of your choice.
Check out the Video that predicted this move.
