sometimes, the market will turn exactly at the touch of the trendline like the example of the gbpusd i posted above... if you wait for confirmation in the 1hr or the 4hr, you will at least missed the early headstart to gain those extra pips...what if you can switch to the smallest timeframe to get in early??? Can it be done? Yes,..Now lets have a look at the 5min chart of gbpusd... what is a good way to get in?...you will see that in the 5min chart, as TL is touched, there is a SLOWING DOWN OF THE DOWNWARD MOMENTUM...how do you notice this? By the LENGTH OF THE CANDLES... become shorter...STUNTED...and then, notice that a candle forms and BREAKS that HIGH of the previous candle before it (highlighted in BLUE) and it is a good green bullish candle. There are two ways you can enter (1) enter instant market order as soon as previous candle's high is violated (2) OR wait until this candle closes before you enter at market.
What profit target would you be looking with this kind of entry? 20-30pips can be easily achived.
Regards
