I use price action on a 5second chart, it has taken several months to begin to try and read the momentum with a basic chart running alongside using MT4.
Using a 5sec chart alterted me early on that my analysis and that of others including the numerous 'guru' signal sites that exist are too often wrong. Take for example today, eur/usd, a sell signal was given by Dailyfx to sell at 1.3210? Even before this signal was given, I could tell that the euro was very bullish even before the unemployment data.
For me, reading the 5sec chart is somehow the same, if you will, to that fine art of tape reading of old and I hope to improve my skills in the future to reading directly from only the 5sec chart.
I have never traded before and have only done so for a few months, whilst I now understand what most of the indicators, s/r , pin bars, etc., provide in terms of charting, I now find myself unable to trade without this 5sec chart where I am getting better at seeing, right there and then, how bearish/bullish the trade is unfolding and alerting me very early on, that I am wrong.
I am actually trying to find areas within ET where the euro/usd is traded, perhaps within a journal, could anyone suggest somewhere.
My first post here, nice to meet you all.
