I'm adjusting my trading style to my lifestyle. In other words when I was a teacher/ administrator in a school, I could check my trades every four hours and check my trade for long term strategy. Now I get just a couple of minutes here and there to trade. If I can trade a session I will and if I can't I miss out. That does not bode well for my usual 4H trading. Also as a USA resident I can't trade long term and also short term at the same time. The rules restrict you to just one style of trading. So I am forced for now to take short term trades. I also don't get to trade off of charts. I get signals and I decide to trade from the signals. I am using a cell phone with a tiny screen. So it's in and out quickly. Session trading is getting the move of that session and then be done. Most moves happen in the first 3 hours of that session. Then they retrace until the next session or day. For example the USA/CAD only trades well during the USA session because that's the only time their banks are open. The eur/usd is not going to move much during the AUD and JPY sessions. Their banks aren't open. So for me to hold trades during their quiet times us not viable for me at this time. Probably another week for the lines to be back toward the center. The gbp will be searching for their new high low levels. So looking for that. The daily CSS reads are critical for long term trading because you can see when the move is beginning to lose or gain steam over the month or weeks. With being on the road and missing sessions and charts to read I can't plan and manage my trades. Any indicator or levels that you know and feel experienced in using for reading would work. I am sure divergence trading with MACD would be dynamite too. There are many subforums using HGI with other systems successfully. So yes Pivots would probably work great especially if you are experienced in using them. Pivots was one of the first trading systems I used as a young trader. Pivots was also used in some of my 10.xxxx series. |

Hi Bob some questions for you, if i may. 1) over the past few days, AUD appears to be climbing on the CSS while CAD has come out of the 'range' region and also looks like its on its way up. If you look at the chart for AUDCAD, there was a HGI signal given some days back, at around 0.9920ish and again at 0.9850ish. Based on CSS alone, i wouldn't have looked here and therefore taken this trade, but then I would have missed out on some pips. Can you confirm if you would have taken this? 2) do you refrain from touching any currencies or pairs that are in the 'range' region, even if they are crossing? What if one is outside and another is in a range. 3) on your charts, do you use any other indies such as semafor or sixths etc, to show when a previous significant S/R line has been hit? Thanks in advance. |

I don't trade the AUD/cad often but I will dip into it now and then. It's not a volatile pair. However they are a very safe pair to trade because as fellow commodity currencies they range together a lot. So you range trade, that means you get in grab your 20-40 pips and get out. So if you want to do that it's fine. If both lines are between the -20+20 lines or they are running parallel to each other on CSS, you know you aren't getting a big run. Grab your pips and close out. I will range trade, I will trend trade, I will counter trend trade. I do it all. It's why sometimes my pip count can be crazy high. Right now I am only using CSS and HGI for my signals. On my iPhone charts I have 240, 60, and 15 MA lines. In my booklet I talk about how important the 240 and 60 MAs are in trading. Anyway according to my theories of what a trend is. Mentally I watch the xxxx.00 lines. Price respects the 100 pip points on a chart and to me the most consistently S/R lines on a screen. It seems price either bounces here before it breaks through or is rejected. My second most favorite area to TP after 3 hours into a session. |

right so.. its Sunday night here in London. According to CSS, we are looking at longs this week in CADJPY, AUDJPY and USDJPY (if the current trend continues). The EUR seems to be making its way to the middle zone - do we leave this for now or can we trade it against, say, NZD or JPY which is falling? J |
