    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    So we're looking for a confirmation of a trend... (btw I'm not too familiar with stock-charts and "Breaking Bad") :) Uptrend: 1. open above the prior close (and preferably above the prior high) 2. retrace stalls at the height or close of the prior bar (small lower wick) The best I can think...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Annotated based on the EURUSD clues. This might be a different story; the two red bars are inside bars and don't indicate a clear downtrend. So maybe you like bars 5, 14 more, because they are "obvious"...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Thanks! So I think you're looking for confirmations of a "trend"; a green bar after a green bar etc. * With the exception of #9, all bars didn't retrace more than halfway the body of the former. * With the exception of #6, all bars where a least as long as the former. So (after the facts) a...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Odlareg; Just to make sure; we're talking about a bar-only approach, so no trendlines, indicators etc.?! Do I focus only on the last bar to extract possible future information or do we need to see it in context with what happened?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Ok; let's take the daily EURUSD as an example. "Now think about price, twice" I assume that means looking at the last bar and looking at its relation to the the rest... The main trend is down now. How important are the OHLC of the previous bars?

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Vindago, If you pick a trade with "acceptable confidence", you're basically making a prediction about price movement... (#1) We all know that the hard part is to accept if you're wrong or, if you're right, you don't get shaken out . Have you tried something new? I focused on longer term...

    Any change about sending a screenshot? Just to give some idea... I understand if you don't want to give anything away, but you talked about some of your settings.

    Get Forex volatility in real time

    A few thoughts: • look at your chart; is price moving fast with sudden jumps; it's volatile. :sneaky: • look at the news/headlines; for most pairs it's volatile at the moment, because they agreed on some sort of Brexit agreement. Watch for key economic data coming out. • never assume that a...

    I'm uncomfortable joining stocks that are about to make new heights... :( Do you have a method to get some idea for targets; e.g. fibs?
