On the four hour chart of the EUR/USD, the currency is in a long term uptrend. This trend has been going on for months (not shown on the chart), and it is a strong trend. As with any currency though, the pair tends to move in waves. That is, it moves up, retraces slightly, and then moves up again. Here are a few additional tips you can use when swing trading the 4hr charts: Have the daily chart as your 'higher' time frame context. When in doubt, try to trade with this the most. Don't expect the market to go straight to your target. Mark your support and resistance levels on the daily & 4hr charts.
What is Support and Resistance? Placing support and resistance areas is the most important skill you can master in trading. And placing them is easy. Yearly, monthly, weekly highs or lows. Rounded numbers such at 1. Areas in which price has stalled or reversed more than once. This happens all the time on every Forex pair and in every financial market for that matter.
Placing Support and Resistance Areas There are a lot of indicators out there that claim to give you great support and resistance areas. I have tried them all and I do not find them reliable.

Thinking of candles as simple patterns is the wrong way to do things. You need to look beyond the pattern and read the story of price.
The Story of Price Every single candle on your chart is telling you a story. The foundation of my Forex trading strategy is reading and understanding the story of price. It is vital because it allows you to answer one of the most important questions in trading… Who is in control of price? This question has three possible answers: buyers, sellers, or neither. But what does the highlighted candle in the next chart tell us? When price hits resistance we get an indecision candle forming green highlight.
But there is one more thing we need to look at… … The indecision candle is forming on top of a resistance area.
And then… BAM! Price stalls and we get indecision forming on top of that area. That is the story of price for this chart. And this story gives us a nice little price action trade setup.
