I was not sure whether to laugh or to sigh at the sight of THIS:

Apparently the forum is being inundated with beggars (as opposed to those willing to learn).

sigh.

Yet again woke up again to miss beautiful zline trades...

EJ- a bit late SELL, after 3 candles on 5M exited with +4, did not like the hesitation.

A better opportunity and more pips on GU, but was too busy with EJ :(

Im starting to prefer a particular method that goes against MO's teachings.

MO says (and he is right, in order to minimise risk):

1) wait for Zline
2) wait for it to be wicked, and see a body in direction of profit.

True.....
but.... the zlines are so accurate, that now Id rather Simply put a limit order at the zline.
If it flies pat and hits my SL immideatly, so be it.... only 10-15 pips...

but since I started trading this Zline seriously, I had yet to come across this. 6 pips against me at most. And you truly get in at the best possible price and get the most out of the consequent movement.

Even the 2 trades above.... 1 moved 6 pips against, another NONE, reversed exactly as soon as (would have) entered.

comments?

aaah, have to admit im becoming more mechanical =]

Rule of thumb: Enter at Zline + 3pips, or Start of MZ + 3pips.

Since quite often price does not reach the desired Zline by 1,2 or 3 pips.

probably because the BO traders put their orders 3 pips below/above the Lows/highs.

Need to make sure this does not become Zline + 5pips, +8 , +11.
Price chasing, been there done that....

Like MO said waaaay back in this forum: get in at the price you want, and NO less.

Ahhh !

I watch solely 2 pairs, EJ and GU.

I always start by EJ, and then forget the GU.

But GU keeps giving better trades with more pips, and quicker.

50+ pips in an hour missed, opposed to 4-5 pips on EJ, where hesitation is dominant at the mo.

Thoughts for consideration.

I simply could not go and study until I feel satisfied with trading.
there was perhaps a good share of luck here.

nevertheless:

D1 bias short

H1 wicked the Zline. --> short

M5 making lower highs--> look for short

Entered on M5 BO at 130.72, with double lot size in red MZ at 130.86 in case of retracement.

Retraced, triggered second trade. Instatnt MOMO down, exit.

Exited at 130.77 --> -5 + (9x2)= 13 pips

"Grand" total for today: 17 pips. And im done!! I still entere BO's , when I should only trade Zlines, but at least I beared in mind the Zline just above the BO.

Good Luck to all.
Patience is the greatest virtue of them all.

one thing and so far the only tangible one i've learned from this thread is to cut the losses..
traded a short on eurusd (entry marked at 1.4632) .. price moved higher to the 1.4640 15 min ZL after forming the exact same pattern es/pip mentioned on friday(LL-bounce-LL-HH-HL)
i waited for the PA to show increased down momentum on the 15 and 5 min chart and got on board... small loss -5 pips

i hope that is not all you learned :roll:

i dont see anything wrong with taking that trade( it ws back into an h4 mz for a short)--- you did what you were supposed to do ---out with a small loss

you point out one trade that you took that didn't work what about all the other ones

Bend over and assume the position for another 4 years of hope and change.

runaway trade?

Postby flossnhoss » Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:27 pm

I'm sure some of you caught this today, but I missed it waiting for an 'entry' point.

This was a great 'setup' coming back down into a GU 1HR zone, and showed a M5 double bottom reversal into a up momentum.

I was left waiting for a retrace back in to the 5 minute zone that never happened... poor discretion on my part I suppose :?

What would you all (es/pip and others) have done in this situation? Sit it out, or jump in at some point to go long.

Thanks for any pointers.

ZL MZ's are lines and areas that provide one with a good idea of "areas" that price may find s/r with a small drawdown

the key to the whole thing is cutting losses short or at be and having larger winners

the zl/MZ cuts the odds in your favor-------- you are not going to go short back into a long zl--- so you know you are only trading long if it doesn't work you get out with a small loss if it does then you make a large gain

:wink:
