should i trade on the one-hour timeframe? Replied 6 days ago - Bro 1 hour time frame is too big to trade with. There ae some little details you will not be seeing on 1 hour. For me I use 15 minute timeframe for entry and 10 minute timeframe for exit.

Technical vs fundamental analysis, which should i prioritize? Replied 1 month ago - For me, it depends on your trading style whether short term trader (day trader) or long term trader (swing trader). If I am day trading, I will give priority to the technicals cos I want short term profits. However, if i am swing trading I will give prioority to fundamentals

why does price move back & forth within a range? Replied 1 month ago - The dominant trend is a bullish engulfing signalling a buy. Price has not been able to close below the bullish engulfing pattern hence the support linne i drew.

what do gaps on my forex chart mean? Replied 1 month ago - It means price moved without trading taking place, so something else caused the price to move (such as breaking news, dark pool trading etc.)

what is pivot point in trading Replied 3 months ago - To add to what @Arthur said, Pivot Points are effective in trading, but they do not work all the time, they only serve as guides. Sometimes price does not respect the pivot point. It is better to mark out your pivot points every day just in case.

what is top down analysis in trading? Replied 3 months ago - When I switch to the lower 5-minute time frame, you will notice that the previous month low is acting as resistance to price, causing a downward movement after retest. This is a classic example of how top-down analysis can be applied to trading.

what is the best indicator for spotting support & resistance on charts? Replied 3 months ago - Simple Moving Average (SMA) & Fibonacci Retracement are some good indicators I use. My 14-day SMA curve acts as support when price is above it and acts as resistance when price is below it. It is not perfect, so I don't rely on it 100% i just use it as a guide. Fibonacci retracement levels can also act as support and resistance, especially the golden fib level of 61.8%

what is retracement in forex? Replied 4 months ago - Whenever there is an upward or downward trend and people start taking profit & exiting the market, you will see a temporary trend reversal which is called a retracement. It is temporary and does not nullify the trend because after these traders exit with their profits, the trend will continue. Lots of beginner traders confuse retracements for actual trend reversals and exit their positions only for the trend to resume afterwards.

do we expect too much from technical indicators? Replied 4 months ago - I suspect brokers are the ones behind the development of indicators so that 95% of traders will keep losing. Why the heck will I rely on a Christmas tree to show me something that has already happened when i could have seen it in real time using price action?

What are the best indicators for deciding when to buy or sell? Replied 4 months ago - I rely on price action to tell me when to enter/exit I don't depend on indictors because they are always giving delayed information. By the time your beloved indicator tells you to buy, price action traders have already bought and exited the trade with profit.

should i buy a rising market? Replied 4 months ago - I don't see anything wrong with buying a rising market. They say the trend is your friend so if the market is in an uptrend i am definitely buying and setting my stop loss at the last break of structure
