MACD Confluence is the best standalone indicator signalAfter reading Technical Analysis by Gerald Appel(inventor of MACD), I have realized the strength in the MACD's accuracy lays in using it on multiple time frames in intervals of 4-6x for each chart. To determine an entry, all 3 charts need to be crossed in the same direction. The trade is higher conviction if you have multiple crosses and also above 0 on the histogram, especially on the higher time frames. When the MACD line is above 0 it's showing strength in that particular direction until a cross shows otherwise. This example on Pfizer very easily describes this example. The 30 Minute MACD line is trending up towards 0. The 5 Minute MACD line is above 0. It's opening crossed below the signal, but it's still above 0, meaning it is hasn't crossed multiple moving averages downward yet. At 9:36am, on the 1M Chart, the MACD line has a bullish crossover up above 0. It is showing strong convergence with the 5M crossing up and the 30M going above 0. If you are scalping. You are taking MACD crosses on the 1M as entries and exits. If you are day trading. You take entries on the 1M and exits on the 5M. This example is for scalpers and day traders on the 1M/5M/30M timeframes. The same can apply for swing trading with the 15M/1H/4H. This even works with position trading(1D/1W/1M), although you may wind up getting too many signals than simply following MACD crosses on the W and M.

#ES_F 2.18 Overview and Levels to WatchYesterday our downside scenario played out perfectly, what can we expect today? In the Globex session inventory got too short and we got a nice squeeze up to our 4405 level but could not break and and reach our Key level at 4424.50-4418.75 and that was our sign of weakness and that we have more inventory above us. This morning we finally broke PM support and got under our Key Support at 4378.50-4374.75. On the downside if we stay below our Key Support then that leaves us open for a test of 4362.75-4359.50, 4349.50-4345.25 and next Key Support at 4327.25-4321.50, If that gets taken out and we take out 4310-4307.25 we can see more downside to 4291.50-4286.75 and 4272-4265. To get upside we need to get back over 4378.50-4374.75 and then we can test higher levels of 4392.25-4389.75, 4405.25-4403 and 4424.50-4418.75 but right now we have inventory above and more likely be looking for the downside scenario to play out again. Trade safe!

#ES Futures Thesis Trade RewievOne example of how my thesis played out today. In the morning I posted for the downside scenario for today we had - all this inventory between 4440-4480 that if gets no upside then we can see it start selling out and level we are watching are 4445-4437.75 as our PM Support and 4424.50-4418.75 as our Key Intraday Support, breaking PM support is first sign of weakness and getting under the Key support leaves the doors open for 4405.25-4403, 4392.25-4389.75 and 4378.50-4374.75 as our next level where we should see good support unless we break that and 4362.75-4345.25 level then we can see more downside. Trade entry was when we failed to get back in previous value with a stop right above and take profits at each level lower until we found buyers at our next big support.

GBPJPY Day Trade Idea // Price Action TradingGbpjpy can move quite a bit. It can be a blessing and curse. Mentioned previously in the > JPY Weakness Post, we discussed potential JPY weakness , given current market sentiment leading up to interest rate announcments for the GBP and the EUR. Very bullish Price action confirming our bias, this means buy the pullback >> and aim for good risk reward >> be confident in your decision >> embrace a probabilistic mindset >> When you take wins, don't be surprised because that's what you were looking for in the market. >> Losses suggest higher volatility that you didn't anticipate correctly, or you are simply outright wrong with your analysis, and you should go to the Higher time frames , and this will give you your answers, with appropriate reasoning and logical thinking
