If you want to have everything lined up then the amount of trades will be drastically reduced it appears to me.

Can't - but = can - because ;)
No problem, there's not right and wrong, just profitable and not profitable.

The difficulty is to make decisions in between fear and greed on the hard right edge. Any picture in hindsight is relatively easy to do. I think it's perhaps better to turn it around it the sense that you a) look for an event that may move markets, like relevant news and capital inflows (market opens) and b) look if there is a divergence and/or 1-2-3 to trade. I actually realized that today. Below a screen shot with markup from 2:30 hrs before FOMC on USDCAD, and another current screen shot.

What about posting charts before an event to see what that brings us ?

[quote="Mr. Hyde"]I know DC is gone but hopefully he might poke his head in sometime and see this (or anyone else for that matter). You say you only take about 3 or 4 trades a week, making sure there the best ones. So I was wondering how you go about that. There are 2 already played out setups plus 1 formed and another one of me showing what I would think might go on in your head when looking for a setup.

Trade 1 seems the best with the break of point 2 happening right after the AO cross. The 2 trade actually has the whole 123 setup inside the trendline. Would this make it not valid for you. The 3rd one has the 3 point almost at the 1, would this also make a trade in valid for you. Then trade 4 is just how I would like to see price play out for a trade to be valid.

Some other questions. Do you ever take a trade based soley on divergence and AO cross if the 123 is not clear. Also when you enter on the BZ is it before or after the 2 break. Also with the BZ you say you use pit session, so does that mean only at 9:30 est and only once. Do you ever use the TTE.

Thanks[/quote. I would take any of those entries .The pattern is rarely perfect ,and price will not always follow the path that we have formed in our head . What I am trying to do is catch part of the elusive 3rd wave ,and the 123 ,tendlines ,ao cross , rat,etc.are only simple tools used to unravel it . I try not to analyze to much ...if it looks like a 123 ,breaks a trend line and crosses the so,(not necessarily in that order ...it is worth taking the shot ....Hop this answers some of your question .. :wink:

Nice call. I wasn't able to trade today, had other things to do (unfortunately). Selling started at London Open. Very nice. =D>
