Ioannis's journal

Unread post by johndata »

1 week member of itradeaims, very pleased from everything i saw here. Nice to meet you all. Altough i am from Greece, almost everything here seems Greek to me :) .Tons of new information, so i decided to start immediately with stage 1, as it's the only logic way to move on.(English is my second language, so although i understand everything, i can't express easily everything i want!)
I have done the Pre-requisites for the 3 Months Challenge. The best part for me, was the flow chart 3rd video, from which i understood what i have to look for.
So i 'll trade only setup 1 on 1 hour charts, when 4 hour is trending. I liked also very much The Famous Setup which is easy to spot, but needs 15 min charts. Perhaps i 'll give it a try if i don't break the rules.
I can trade only the first or second hour of London Open(as a general rule) because i work and i 'll post every order i give at London open. I 'll watch 30-40 forex pairs and gold in the early morning, i 'll discard most of them or maybe all of them, if the don't have setup 1(flow chart 3rd video).
I take that challenge, to learn the rules by practising and of course i wait to do mistakes and learn from them.

PS. You have a wonderful commutity there and i am glad to be part of it. I hope to help each other.

Thanks

Question

Unread post by johndata »

Good morning!!! :)

For the purpose of T20, the setup 1 in the 1 hour timeframe, is just the ewaves close to the zero line or we need to have a clear 3, then 4 with red bars and then look for the setup?

Thanks

Happy trading

Happy trading
In S tage 1, you will record what you think is a setup 1, and t ake trades accordingly. If you're wrong we will let you know what was wrong with it. ITs not about winning or losing. ITs about Is THIS a Setup 1? or not...

NO DS for this trade, as it didn't triggered. Maybe Immy has a different opinion
