Simple as 1-2-3

The AO cross and I so far have not got along very well.

Hi Pro, good to see you back looking at charts.
I drew the best I could..im on my tablet.
All you need is a bit more patience. Im not sure if you use my zones...but the cross of the trendlines which you have drawn correctly, needs to be crossed by the ma. or If you do use my zones, a failed retest, then the break of your trendline will almost get you in on the right side of the zone every time, thus eliminating the reversal trades.

Just jumped the gun...thats all

Like this?

MA (price closes beyond strongly) breaks a TL,
AO still up.
Price pulls back to a ZL.
Bingo is struck.

In the pic above, yes, like that. BUT, it would be an continuation for me, not an entry. All most all of my trades are based on reversals.
When I take my pip pillage, im done with that move. Over time this will also help with holding trades that are winners. I just want to point out
for the last 7 hours in the pic..if you were long, that there were no down Crosses, down doji zones, down momentum, down 123 setups, down abcd's.

For many, once in a trade, thats when anxiety sets in... just take a deep breath and trade what you see. It doesnt lie.

The last two swings were classic 123 patterns.
After the prior 2-3 swings being sketchy giving doublw 123's before a move or giving a false 123 and then continuation I was very hesitant to trade these two.

Have to be a dang soothe sayer with crystal ball to know which ones to trade.

Or have some kind of MM system to overcome the 60+% loss rate one would encounter.

Hmmmmmm

Filter=higher TF position/zline/s&d, leave the rest of them

As Doji says...you only need 2 TF max

just a suggestion....

We dont trade the breakout without seeing the retest. That minimizes risk and keeps the SL small.
If trading the sma cross, you will still see the retest...Those are the great trades.

I spent years trying to trade the triple screen. Not gonna happen.
Higher TF is great for levels but then I do not honor my smaller tiimeframe SL because I'm actually trading the higher time frame.
I'm not one to accept being stopped 3x to get into the bigger move. I'd prefer to just wait in drawdown for the bigger move to take place.
Or trade only the smaller move but this always leaves me in the 1:1 or worse profit ratios.

Anyway.
There were a lot of decisions to be made in ONE week on an m15 chart using only ej.

I understand and can relate, i had identical problem. The issue here is not fear or greed, which are commonly mentioned in trading bussines, but PRIDE.
Pride brings the need "to be right", which means, trader will not take SL with ease. He wants to be right, period. I ve read somewhere, that the ability to take SL is the first thing one learnes in trading firm and i understand why. Beacuse it s the hardes thing to do. At least for me was.
Try to trick your mind in doing this on continuous basis, don t just accept that you can t, because you definitely can. It s a mind habbit and it can be removed as any habbit. With will power.

This to me is PERFECT market symmetry.

123 bottom, followed by a trend.
123 high, followed by a trend.

If continuously enganged in the market as Joe Ross teaches a loss would have had to be taken before the next string of winners.
So YES.

I can only be successful when my "losses cause me great laughter". MO
