    Based on 4hours CCI divergence

    I watch 4 hour CCI but setup is not based on on that chart. I use it for possible direction and looking for setup on smaller time frame. I still didn't see it. I just told that I like that possibility.
    For now, imo, charts are very extended and all markets are very nervous and uncertanly

  6. Ivica,

    I have a few questions. I am making the switch from minis to forex. Now I was a scalper but like forex a lot better. Its funny it actually helps me respect my stops more when I trde forex and makes me search for quality setups do to the way it trades instead of scalping all day off a 1 min chart. I use a 15 min chart. I think anything higher for my personality will be tough. But I need some guidance maybe in weeding out setups. I trade using s/r pin bar and dt/db and inside outside bars. I use the setups that i mentioned when its near s/r or retracement of a trend to enter the way of the trend. I am having trouble getting in to early and sometimes getting out to quick as well. I guess its just me getting used to the time frame. I have been looking at your charts for a while that you post and while I can obviously see them in hindsight its hard to spot as it is going on. Also when you draw support resistance lines, do you get your numbers from a source or basically just bounce points from the days or previous days trading? I am just trying to get a clear picture so I can put my trading plan together for myself. Its not an easy switch i thought it would be a little easier, but I was dead wrong. I know these past 2 weeks have been especially choppy but also with some good trends like eurjpy and audusd. I trade mainly 5am to 4pm est. So if you can please help a forex newb( been trading futures and equities for about 8 years. Maybe I am looking at the wrong plan to start , I am looking for a good solid way to trade off the 15 min charts. I am not looking for your strategy or the holy grail so please no that. I just want to use price action like I have in the past with other instruments. So I am just trying to put that to use on forex. So any guidance would help so much. You can PM me if you would like. I actually tried to PM you but for some reason it didnt go trhough
