As with all strategy and methodologies there are some essentials you need to know before you can understand how to implement and follow my logic when trading.

Swing Strategy Objective

• The Main move(s) of the week

Intraday Strategy Objective

• The Main move(s) over a 4hr period

With this in mind I look at the ATR for a given currency pair so that I know what "on average" a pair is likely to do... more on this later.

Tools of the trade

The tools that I use to accomplish the objective are;

• Simple interpretation of price action
• Current weeks opening price level
• Current Live 4hr opening Price level
• (Sevice Pack 1 - currently exploring the use of previous weeks open highs and lows)

Account and Trade Management

Combined with these tools I use strict money management to keep the risk small enough to allow for any loosing periods that occur and more importantly allow a both physically and psychologically disciplined approach so that I can "stick to the trading plan".

Within the pages on this site you will find detailed expansion of these points and a precise outline of each set up I use on a daily basis.
