Trading M1 off H1 Charts

Unread post by immy »

Hi

I've been doing this for a while and today I thought I'll start a new topic to introduce this technique.

It would benefit those who trade the hourly charts. If you trade the hourly charts like us in the AIMS Skype Live Trading Room
you'll know that at times we see high volatility periods. Mostly its due to News Events.

We can trade those high volatility events on M1 without staring at the m1 chart for hrs and hrs.

This technique is a a branch of the Famous Method. A fractal within the famous pattern, if you like.

Step 1. Wait for one strong H1 candle. The candle should be a BULL or A BEAR Candle. Preferably a clean strong OB.
Step 2. Drop to m1 and wait for Setup 1 starting at the close of the strong Bull or Bear Candle.

e.g. below DAX H1

The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".

I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

here is another example I randomly found. This is EU chart after a news event. But notice that the H1 chart is already in a new structure.

If you like the idea, please reply and comment and go and spend your weekend back-testing it... (no not serious. Jut a couple of hrs would do lol)
