The bb is a tool for learning levels...thats all.... for finding a general extreme.

The yellow box is the area of resistance and it was visited at the 1st yellow X already.....then there is a minor area of resistance, drawn by the yellow line.....so when price reached that area...i jumped in short....

as for targets the same thing price went to lower support already from the 1st yellow X trade..so now my target was back to that support area or lower.... when it got there i had made plenty of pips already that day so I closed it.....

hope that helps.



BB you use is a 12 period?

thanks for your time!!!

I dont remember the long trade...may have been a 15 min trade....

SL i use a 15-30 emergency sl..........but if I had to pinpoint one for someone, the back side of the purple box.

As I build space from previous trades I cushion my sl until im ready to roll it over to my lots size....

Doji,

Could you perhaps give a quick illustration of this for those of us who are visually oriented? A cocktail napkin drawing would be fine.

Thnx for your help

Sure I will get something posted shortly. Let me ask though, have you read all of the thread yet?

One can tell people how to trade, but the information would become lost. Teach and learn and you will SEE and find what will last.

What can we learn from this picture?
