As is obvious,this thread is for the trader trading the 60min charts.For any intraday postings,I usually post on Asish's thread "Time to stick my neck out".......For swing/position moves,I post in the "New Intermed Uptrend".But for the 60min trades,have been at a loss where exactly to post them.......Therefore this thread!
Before starting,I wish to clarify a few things...........slight modifications as per the time frame.
Primary Trend Trade:I look at the monthly,enter once the monthly triggers an uptrend,latching on to an intermed uptrend on the weekly charts.I am therefore trying to capitalise on the primary uptrend,but am not interested in participating in the intermed downtrends within that primary uptrend.Therefore the time frame traded is the Weekly,Pespective chart is the Monthly.When the Weekly pivot low gets cracked ,I am out,waiting to reenter on the weekly making an uptrend again.For reentry, I am not looking to enter only above previous pivot highs..........even if the weekly bars made ten higher highs and higher lows each week,now started a pullback,each week making lower high and lower lows to the previous,the first bar that halts this pattern and beats the previous week's high,I am in that trade.Stop loss at recent pivot lows as always.But in a pattern where the weekly charts are making lower pivot highs and lows,then we have no chance but to wait for a previous pivot high to get taken out.
To reiterate again.......
SCENARIO 1:
Monthly uptrend,weekly making few bars/candles down,buy the first week where the bar takes out the previous week's high.
SCENARIO2:
Monthly uptrend,weekly breaking previous pivot lows,proceeding to make lower pivot highs and lows,buy only when the weekly charts show a previous pivot high being taken out.
What's the difference between lower highs and lows and lower pivot highs and lows?Sorry,but please go to the "Teach a Man to....." thread where it's been discussed.
As far as exit points are concerned,same thing.......out on a break of previous pivot lows.
What's all this got to do with the 60min trade?Ah,clearing the cobwebs first before proceeding to create more later.
All the best!
