Re: Higher Time Frames
My EUR-GBP H4 long trade has given me an exit signal on the last candle, however, I have not taken it but moved my sl to the bottom of that candle (6 pips away). So lets see what happens.

Re: Higher Time Frames
My usd-chf H1 trade has just hit its sl for +43pips (+2.15%).
I originally targeted the Aims H4 high, however, as the price charged up I let it go and moved my sl to this level.

Re: Higher Time Frames
Here is how I am looking at filtering for TREND and to trade in that direction.
Watch for a break of the Super Trend indicator on a 4 Hour chart, place both vertical & horizontal lines at that point
Wait for the first retracement & signal on the 1 Hour chart
If price stays in either the BUY zone or SELL zone on the 4 Hour chart, take each signal
Can drop to 15 Minute chart for extra signals
BUY or SELL zone is defined by the area between 2 Bollinger Bands, first with default settings of 20 MA & 2 deviations, and the other with 20 MA and 1 deviation
See how many times price will just climb up or down the bands

Re: Higher Time Frames
I'm loving this thread! its great to see different perspectives! Same setup different time frames splendid. I had a good trade on UJ today It hit 1:1 nearly. I know it required a bigger stop loss but on the hourly I'm following my original trading technique as explained in the ebook. So its sleepy alligators and AIMS levels that make my day!

Re: Higher Time Frames
This particular trade on H4 is interesting. Reason being, just check the Daily chart. While it looked like a setup just a look to the left of hte chart shows that the entry is still in sideways market. I saw this, and did not take on H4 because the daily Alligator was about to sleep and was inside AIMS levels. for me, when Alligator is sleeping on a higher time frame I wait for it to either break out or catch a Setup on lower time frame.Topher wrote:Oh well that didn't work out.

ps: EG has just printed a Short Signal for the Daily Time Frame, Aligator is sleeping. Trend previously is down. I think its a good signal.
