I was just wondering if its okay to have a losing day every once in awhile?
Should I learn how to do this method again?


IN ORDER TO WIN AT TRADING, YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO LOSE !

It just takes practice, practice practice.

i've tried to stick to zline trades for now, but without much luck either. i think, i'll post some zline attempts in lukx thread later this week.


System/method hopping is only going to result in more losses.

Chances are you are over trading.

Post a chart and show me losers. You really have to try to lose if you are a true RAT. There are 6 simple rules to follow. If you follow them, you should end the session a winner.

Then take +2, +3 or +4.

You can NOT learn it AGAIN.

Either you have learned it or you have not.

Are you absolutely positive you followed the rules?

Hi, Avery,

I 've been a green rat doing ok outside the 20 pips daily high/low. However, when I tried green rat trade within the 20 pips daily low, the price kept breaking to a new low and killed the green rat, like catching a falling knife. Clearly, I seem to miss something quite key here but don't know what...?

I trade cable and euroyen on M15. Any suggestions that it can help me to better identifying a true reversal of daily low? Appreciate it.

"Now, 2 patterns of market behavior happen on a regular basis:

1) the price breaks to new high's (or low's)

2) the price reverses from new high's (or low's)

They happen regardless of time frame (with the obvious limitations explained above)

They are phenomena that can be exploited without the fear if found out by others, that they might cease to exist." - H. Rearden


1) price within 20 pips of the daily low - that is OPPORTUNITY

2) red candle closes

3) green candle closes - note the high price of the green candle.

4) enter long at the green candle's high price

5) STOP LOSS IS 10 PIPS

6) Take whatever profit you can.

Post a chart and mark your entries so I can SEE what you saw.

yes, i'm sure my entries were correct. i posted a couple of charts several weeks ago.
and i only "hopped" to rat trading since mo recommended this to improve my zline trading. but somehow for me it feels like catching a falling knive as well.

RESULTS.

"The technique is so simple that just several lessons (or a few pages of explanations) cover it all. Now what? Now the student has to practice, practice and practice again to understand what he had been taught. The teacher DOES know much more than the student, but his understanding can't be "passed", "transferred" or taught in any way -- not even by reading books."

if price moves in your favor 2 pips and then stops...

if you do not take 2 pips and lose 10

who is to blame?

here's what happens...

first trade...

price moves up 2 and stops

trader takes 2 pips and then price zooms up another 20 + pips

trader gets mad

second trade

price moves up 2 pips and stops

trader THINKS and decides NOT to take the 2 pips

price drops and stops trader out

so... 2 + 2 = 4 (RAT)

or

2 - 10 = -8 (YALE STUDENT)

YOU DECIDE

WHEN PRICE STOPS MOVING... DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

the idea is to be PROFITABLE PERIOD
