Do you still trade the Euro with the use of the 4 hour pivot? Do you trade the US time 8 am - 12 noon EST? Just curious. Thanks

Hello and thanks for the question. Yes I still trade the Euro although I have found the Euro/Yen (EurJpy) pair to be a little more rewarding lately.

I do not trade the 4 hour pivots exclusively. I do watch them but price action is so slow during the US session it is sometimes hard to find good trades. For the best trades right now, you need to be up and watching the London session from approximately 1 am - 7am.

Cheers!

EURUSD Trade Set Up

I have started watching line charts exclusively. One minute scalps are my poison of choice. So I’m looking for low risk trades with a target of at least 12 pips. The amount risked is usually 6 pips (I say usually because depending on the set-up sometimes a wee bit more is risked).

EURUSD Scalping

1a) A new higher high is set.

1b) A new peak on our oscillator.

2a) A lower high.

2b) Confirmation of declining momentum by a lower peak on the oscillator.

3) Signal is a quarter level (ala Mongolian). The filter is price below the moving average MA).

In this example, you would short at 1.3012 and expect price to drop to at least 1.3000. If you have the ability to watch small retractions, you could stay in the trade until price crosses the MA in the opposite direction of your trade. If you did this you would have gained 30+ pips on a a 1 minute scalp as price dropped to 1.2980 before reversing and crossing the MA
