Hello Frank,
You're focused on the EUR / USD pair of trading. According to the 1-2-3 count on the chart I'm assuming that you're trading trend for corresponding high / low points.
You are therefore a position trader or trading style which you prefer.
Greetings René
Hello René,
I trade mainly 8 major currency pairs poste, but generally only a detailed analysis of the EUR / USD. The time factor has on the one hand and on the other, as are the constellations in the EUR / GBP and EUR / JPY is very similar, so I choose EUR / USD as a sort of "prominent" representatives.
What trading is concerned, I am indeed in terms of holding period for a position trader but the style trend traders rarely. I am looking for my entry primarily in trend direction - to that extent this is true. It helps me to 1-2-3-count to determine the prevailing trend phase. Action I will do it but only the resulting motion. So I'm probably more of a swing trader.
My analysis and my trading is based largely on the rules of market techniques that are in the same basic work of Michael Voigt find ...
