Never Lose Again

[aliassmith]

Thirty pips

Still need to control my erg to stay to long into lossers
and I think I'll catch up with ES/PIP

[spa]

I try to take less trades.
Again, 2 losers here



Ok, 5min is not working again. Lets try 15m.

Oops, SL got hit again



This is getting very funny.... Or not?

on my charts it looks like you bought into a 4h Zl, I was looking for shorts around there but failed to pull the trigger...

On your M15 chart, I can see why you entered where you did.
I still think it was a little low. Entry should be closer to the point
of the arrow you have there.

The trade clearly was looking "shady", 3 candles closed against you.
It was time for a near breakeven exit, -6ish at the most.

Note: The long red candle before your entry candle. It hit a zeroline
previous to coming back up. Keep an eye out for those type of situatiuons.

[es/pip]

Frustrated....

Bullshit?

nope

just price action

maybe you and lukz should sit across from each other and bounce negative ideas of each others foreheads

you guys do not realize how important the correct mindset is


again you are looking at it as just bec. there is a setup that it must work out correctly no matter what

that's not how this works--- you have to be discretionary and adapt to what the market does



and again the zl/ mz did what it was supposed to do it held the area at least for the short term

price sold off back into another zl for the longs--

was it smaller than the down momo yes--- but the market on the inside was saying it may go long of that area--- so you try to trade long and see what happens--- if the long would have not worked i would have still been thinking short from the down momo and flipped it and traded that direction

but if the market is going up you have to trade long

and if it is going down you have to trade short

look inside and trade it

i traded short off the down momo and then traded long off the up momo

braathen's chart was how i traded the long

all of those trades could have been exited at be--

on the m15 why try and short it at the bottom when there were 3 trades off the top that would have worked.

all of this is said without looking at the other time frames---

but still just looking at the m5 or m15 one could trade that sequence and make pips

you need to spend some time looking at charts and figuring out why some work and some dont and how to deal with those situations

[aliassmith]

Was a little "picky" trying to get an entry.
I missed getting in on this 30 pips move by
2 pips. UGH!

I am not looking at it as a 100% setup. I am just trying to pick good trades with the higher TF direction and post charts here. And I am at lest a bit discretionary-I did not take all the setups.

i traded short off the down momo and then traded long off the up momo
braathen's chart was how i traded the long

Exactly, I saw that the up momo was much smaller the the down momo.
And you and braathen entered long when price did hit H4 ZL short area!
So the question is-why do we need higher timeframes? Maybe we should trade off 5m and 15m directly if you ignore 4h short ZL when enter long off m5.

[Azuremaster]

5m trades went 0 pips in my favour. If you can make BE out of negative pips-thats great, but I certainly can not.

on the m15 why try and short it at the bottom when there were 3 trades off the top that would have worked.

Maybe we can ask the same question Aliassmith-why long cable at the top after 200+ pip rally? Same situation. The only difference is that he was lucky and the trade worked out well, and my trade did not work.

all of this is said without looking at the other time frames

Please tell me, if you were trading euro, would you take my 5m trades? And if not, why?
