It's all about Stops

Postby Mira » Wed Aug 22, 2018 2:36 pm

I didn't trade this one, but after 1000+ zones that i looked at i have a feeling: it's all about stops.
Aliassmith and MightyOne wrote many times about this topic and i'm noticing that placing a Stop Loss at a pivot is like feeding my broker.
Having enough space would keep me safe from spikes when i'm right and would give me more possibilities to get out at zero when i'm wrong.

Do i have to "say goodbye" to tight stops? What about the (smaller) returns? :|

Run a fib inside the limits of the zone. You may get an idea or two :wink:

Mmmm.. I don’t know if I’m getting it right :lol:
Could you give me a clue about it?

Thank you!

In effect, an S+D Zone can act as a retrace zone, just like a candle. So just like you can run a fib over the range of a candle and see a 50% level for the following candle to act inside, you can do the same with an S+D Zone. The candles that push into that zone will respect the fib levels.

Ahhh ok now I got it! :) Thanks!

Sorry, I was referring to my stop loss placement, not the entries.
I’m wondering if using the ATR can give me some edge (statistically).

Yeah, I got that. Think about it, if we look at a 50% Fib level in that Demand Zone, then running it like we would a Z-Line, we would look at price either closing or not closing above / below that line. So you could look at using that 50 and below as a stop level, as if price closes below it, it's likely to keep going. You'd have that stop below to cover that. Closes above and likely to bounce away, so no stop hit.

To get into micro detail, you can run a fib in the lower half of the zone and that level would make a good sl.

ATR is def of use cw S+D.

I'm very happy that i learned the "trade a line" concept because losses now are b/e most of the times and winners are pretty large.

However finding good entries has been a real struggle this week.
