Hello Walter,

 

Been having a snook at one or two of your fast timeframe threads, some pretty decent content & research going on thereabouts - your enthusiasm & positive approach is very refreshing! I hope your endeavors continue to pay just rewards ;)

 

I don't intend to hijack your thread or your work Walter, so my apologies if this post detracts from your ongoing research.

 

I didn't know where else to post this & it's really intended to use as another? example of these types of fast(er) timeframe trade set-ups.

 

Please disregard it & the mods can delete/move it if you don't want it to clog up your thread.

 

Anyways, our nephew has been trading this little wippersnapper for quite a while now across a varied selection of pairs.

 

Apparently, it's made an appearance on one of the other forums recently, but then eventually everything morphs into something & gets resurrected in some format LOL.

 

He plots a 14 period RSI on the 5min timeframe & uses the extreme signal beyond 30/70 at supply-demand lines from the higher timeframes, in accordance with a mid-term trend.

 

Occasionally he'll kick a counter trend entry if the positioning (& supply-demand line) gets out of whack.

 

That's it really, nothing more complicated than that. He's been grinding it out since last last spring, mainly on the Yen pairs & the Cable.

 

I've hauled up a couple examples on Geppy & CAD mainly to highlight the variables of the pairings etc. But these set-ups appear pretty regularly during the trading week, & offer decent follow thru management once prices penetrate & kick thru a well observed supply-demand camp.

 

It's a cheeky little trade, & he's happy enough with his pocket money out of it, but it just shows you, something trivial & simple when utilized sensibly, can jog along handsomely :)

 

Apologies again for cluttering up your interesting thread Walter, I won't post this stuff on here again.

 

ps: I'll try call in on yours & Don's room when I get a break in the trading day, will be nice to make your aquaintance!

Thanks for the post Anna Maria ¡¡ , you do not disturb here.. please feel free to interact as much as you want, very pleased to have you here sharing this nice setup with us...

 

This setups are the most near to my M`s trades where you have this divergences and false break outs happening on the extremes... they are quite relaible patterns and work pretty nice... the ideal is looking a higher time frame for the overall trend and taking this "counter" on the smaller tf...

 

well Anna-Maria, hope we get to see you on the rooms ¡¡ thanks for inputs, cheers Walter.

I am adding some nuances to our trades... let me remember you that I still dont trade forex... I am a futures trader, (now taking some vacations from trading ) and trying to adapt all my knowledge to this forex market... you may notice on the next month or so I will be exploring many alternatives... once I get decided for one I will try to be consitent on the choosen one...

 

Any way as some told me I could create a wikipedia of setups jejeje... well just trying to see whats best for me in forex... :p and doing the process public...

 

Ok this nuance or maybe a diferent setup uses a very singular bollinger of an ma... it shows very well if we are in chop or momentum... having momentum present, you are set to take a nice simple trend trade...

 

I decided to make video explaining this... any suggestions are very welcome ¡¡ cheers Walter

Junior sent his latest hotshot trade into our in-box earlier. To be honest, looking across the canvas, he had the pick of the crop setting up off his trigger.

 

He chose the EUR v/s Yen due in part to it's major supply zone of the past week & the 15m candle trigger. But any one of a few pairs would have delivered in this late NY session execution.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
