Im posting this because I hear all the time, the "sema's repaint"! YES THEY DO!

So think about it..if we know this.... why in the world do you get out every time a 3 sema 1st shows up? This is what I ask!!!????

Using the 3 sema as an "initial run" and taking the 2nd one give you a very powerful setup.

Doji zone, 123 setup, HH and HL, uhhhhhhh..... Isnt this confluence enough?

Some people just arnt cut out for trading... just sayin

Confluence is the only way. Doji zones drawn on 15m chart with the other lines from 1hr.

A up momentum followed by a down momentun is a bearish zone
A down momentum followed by a up Momentum is a bullish zone
reversals are the close out the opposite side of the above zones.

Thank you Doji.. I just need to gain confidence and to avoid fear.

My experience is so little that if I tell you my toughts about Momentum you would laugh forever :lol:

Thanks again for you help and patience!

If a woman can believe that every word that comes out of her mouth is the God-sent truth then why cant you?

Much of trading is the faith in ones self and ability to see and to learn and to grow.

Who has ever looked up at the clouds and said "my friends see a bunny, I wonder if I am smart enough to see the bunny?"
You have the same God-given ability to see patterns as everyone else; if you do not see a bunny then you either do not
care to see or your lack of faith is causing blindness.

Chart below, i marked three candles that i believe sema 1 appeared on for the first time, leading farther to sema 2/3. Is this what u mean - the very origin of sema2/3 breakout, or a point where actually sema 2/3 appears?
Thanks

Crude post.. but true :(

I care, obviously, and I have faith.
When I try to mark a chart looking for failures to show you... well, failures disappear :roll:

It's me vs me. Fear maybe..

All of my posts are crude :lol:

The magic is in manipulating your position size and in managing trades.

zones and trades are great. Im a little confused, did you alter the ind...the dots are on the wrong end of the candles.?

This is a chart to make sure i understand what your pointing at.
It shows an momentum zone and the numbers mark where i would have gotten in the trade if im correct.
#1 - initial entry short since price closed with momo below the zone.
#2 - price came back up and closed above, exit short and open new long
#3 - now price goes down again, closes below the box. exit long and open new short

i've placed the price arrows to show what the pl was. As you can see, had we doubled up on each reverse, we only needed to make
like 6.5 pips on the #3 short...

However, since you said that once you reverse you place the stoploss at the sema high/low (yellow lines) wouldnt you have taken the 2nd reverse (#3)?

Hey phil what settings and or indy's did you use to get your chart to look like this. Thanks.

Hi V8,

I needed to look back which chart you meant but here it is.
I have attached the template and indicators. The indie is the one Doji modified but i modified it back so i still have the original and i can mess with this one. Same goes for the sema indie. Both are attached so loading the template, given you copy the indies in your indie folder, would result in the following chart output.

Hope this helps.
