Tentative Protocol for New Junior Traders:
Before the start of each new 24-hour market cycle, view the daily charts to determine whether each currency pair on your watchlist is bullish, bearish or neutral. For those pairs which evidence a bias in one direction or the other, monitor their hourly charts over the three trading sessions and note if and when candlesticks venture to the "far" side of the daily trend.
Whenever and wherever this occurs, continue to monitor the hourly charts, noting if and/or when the intraday trend
reverses direction to
resume a course in sync with that of the day-to-day trend. At such times, determine the advisability of entering a position in the direction recommended by the two aligned measures.
Example:
Also, whenever volatility and liquidity are reaching peak levels, check the daily charts to ascertain whether any of the exchange rates have breached their projected daily price ranges. Whenever this situation exists, you will want to monitor the relevant pair(s) on a lower-time-frame chart for if and/or when the intraday trend reverses direction, maneuvering a mean reversion/regression toward the mean (the 24-hour baseline). If so, this is your signal to enter a position in the corresponding direction (if deemed appropriate).
Example:
Here's how things unfolded on the lower-time-frame chart...
Moreover, if volatility/liquidity is high, watch for intraday breakouts on lower-time-frame charts, as conveyed by a
refusal of the the faster moving averages to drop "behind" the "Battenberg" (or "mason wasp") moving average, poised above or below the "black cloud."
Example:
And finally, generally speaking, you will want to look for opportunities to enter positions as rates come out of pullbacks (conveyed by the faster moving averages) during those periods or intervals where the slope of the "black cloud" and the slope of the "Battenberg" or "mason wasp" moving averages are headed in the same direction.
