When you think about forex trading and charts, what comes to mind is that, what ever time charts you are in the principles are still the same. A 1 minute chart will be the same as the daily chart. What I found out last week while I try to trade intraday chart is that. It’s not always the case.

I trade successfully on daily charts and I love the freedom it brings because sometimes, I don’t have to trade everyday and I get to do something else. While I wait for the next candle stick, it will take another day. That is why when I tried trading on smaller time frames. I never got any profit.

I don’t know. Maybe its just me. I still follow my rules but the fact that intraday trading is a whole new beast than the other charts. I realize that if I really want to be successful in this. I need to master one chart at a time.

Many books claiming that their method are great on any charts. I don’t know. Maybe just my strategy is not that good. That is why I bought some books for reading. I’ll post some of the things I learned and tested once I finished reading the book.

Like any new forex trader, I was looking for that reversal bar that will end a trend. To my surprise, sometimes, its not a reversal pin bar which will end the trend. Sometimes, its an inside bar. Here is a screenshot of the culprit.

The inside of an inside bar can be a series of different bars. What you want to do is wait for the last bar which will tell you what will be the next trend. An inside bar is an indication of a new trend forming or an end of the trend for those who are already riding the wave and needs to get out.
