No time to get to involved in this but your problems may lay in how you produce the channels , once they are obvious they start to lose value , there are methods to anticipate channels fairly accurately before they are visible to the masses , herein lies the key for me . its a litle bit discretionary but using swing high/lows and repetetive rates of regression with a bit of range know how you can do things that will trully amaze you , look at some market geometry stuff based around price structure
patterns repeat , ranges repeat , its all in the eye ...............
you only need 3 points of reference to start a channel

Some get it, some don't. Some think simplicity means obvious and some think it means easy to Master: there's the rub.
Good observations here and these ideas are pointed out several times in the thread.

Nodoji posted some charts and set ups with very good explanations on charts .My compliments to Nodoji for some gems.
The rest of the stuff was usual t/a with trendlines , channels and patterns .

Thanks for your kind words, OFX. I definitely posted my deepest trading "secrets" on this thread, fully illustrated![]()
The usual t/a with trend lines, channels, etc. is the basis of this thread, hence "A simple price action approach".
Surely you know after studying Brooks, I couldn't just keep it totally simple, though![]()

Quote from NoDoji:
Here is a price action trade I took late today in CL (oil futures). There was a wide symmetrical triangle formation on the 5-min chart (my intraday trading time frame). I wanted to be positioned in advance of the breakout, noticed a signal that the breakout was likely pending (failure to test the upper trend line of the triangle), but just in case there was still a secondary push to test the upper TL, I did not short the initial 5-min bar break for a test of the lower TL; instead I watched the 1-min chart for a "confirmed" pre-breakout entry. The 1-min 20-period EMA is a mobile S/R level that often signals early entries in a pivot zone.

I read this very closely, and seriously cannot make sense of it. Perhaps subsequent posts by this author, or others, will help me understand it better. Here's what I did understand: The price on the 5 minute chart failed to reach the upper TL so this was a signal that most likely the pattern was going to break to the downside soon. But I did not understand what he was saying about the 1 minute chart and confirmation.
