I have learned that the level of complexity in ones trading is a measure of how much one does not understand; simplicity on the other hand shows great understanding.

MO - w.r.t extremes and space, do you also use the open as a reference? I.E say you are going to trade the weekly candle, you position at this weeks low and trade with candle colour? I.E if price is above the open you go long, if price is below the open you go short and position at the appropriate extreme?

Thanks

The only open price I use is the daily candle...
it looks like I am going to have to start a new thread.

Previously, I gave a lesson called 'The Time Travel Entry' and it looked
like this:

Now that is 250 pips of space and probably way outside of your price range so what are you to do?

You could position yourself on long term extremes.

You could use any of those ret prices you see in the pic as
locations for position.

You could use price levels.

You could do anything and everything under the sun as long as it lines up with the fact that you wish you had gone long from good position with low risk and preferably a large lot size.

I hope I've got this right - price is below weekly high extreme, below daily open price is turning down, and looking at the weekly chart in an area where the long term downtrend may continue so looking to position short off the weekly high? Size space accordingly?

Well, I got in on a retrace which was good, closed for a profit which was good, then saw price steamroller further down in my direction, which was bad

Very true, since I started applying the idea of combining time and price to see liquidity I no longer use anything but this tool (charts)



The general idea that I will fous on here is defining when I am wrong, But like they say the devil is in the details, like if price break below the first weekly support would you ?

1- Back off your position to the next weekly support

2- Retreat to monthly support and trade short on small chart toward the low of the range

3- Liquidate and trade short while being cautious to any sign of support, <-- I guess this option don't qualify until we reach 1.33 area

Edit: Hi MO just ignore the above I was too much into details and less focused on general ideas I'll rephrase to the folowing

Would you trade short on small chart while holding a long position on long term chart ?

Thanks in advance

Before we talk IF/THEN lets talk about what comes first:
