Markets James’s methods can be used to trade most forex markets. On the forums the examples of trades are diverse and include, but are not limited to, markets such as GBP/USD, USD/CHF, NZD/JPY, EUR/JPY, etc. Time Frames Jamesadvises thatyou shouldtradedailyorweekly charts.However,many of the readers on the James16 thread prefer to trade the 4 hour or 1hour chartas itprovides themwithmore frequenttradingopportunities.James cautions against this as the entry patterns are more reliable on higher time frames.
