I don't see anything wrong with your trade although you could use a tad bit more aggression.

It is a 5 minute chart so you couldn't have done too much more, but I would have liked to see a 06 lot initial entry and +50% to 09 lots before the drop (I'm sure you would have liked to see that as well).
I would have also risked double so this would be an 8 or 9% win.

Continue along the path or Position, Lot Size, %
you are doing just fine.

Right, so are you saying there that his initial entry point would be at the same price but you'd essentially just have drawn the box differently so the entry was at the 6 lot line and less space available.

Plain English is so much easier for people to understand. Takes more time initially but you get your message across much faster in the long term.

How many attempts does it take to draw the fibs box like that then if you're trying to line the 06 line with the entry point...while scalping on a 7 minute chart? Or is it more like, have a rough guess, eyeball it, yeah I''ve got enough space, plonk 6 lots on, then draw box.

Position, lot size, expansion <--- which one do you not understand?

The first step is to focus all of your energy on POSITION.

Next you focus on LOT SIZE while evaluating the strength of your position.

The last step is the markets job to complete.

Creativity (experience & strategy) is often used to get the job done.

If you don't have experience then you can substitute it with faith (believing that you are right until proven otherwise is credited to you as experience)


& NO, I am not trying to align x line with an entry point...

Pretty crazy what goes on in the world AND how we whine and bellyache over the most trivial s**t.

Updates:

Lines above the 50% reduce risk by 1/3:
20/15 = +33% space
12/09 = +33% space
Liquidating at 00 = -2/3

<--- I pushed the numbers to the left so that I can use auto scroll.

Hi MO

i would like ask your opinion on something is bugging me.

I was watching TRO video on a book called "Thinking fast and slow"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKl21h3D9Zw

What would you class as something that is not based in reality?

I remember you mentioning that markets moves in cycles of profits and elimination of profits, over and over again. This is true otherwise price would just run straight up and straight down. And zlines show us areas of held profit.

Therefore is fair of me say that this is based in reality :?:
its not just a random events that appears to match the concept ie creating an illusion.

Im confused about supply and demand, is this illusion or something thats based in reality?

I know its most probably a dumb questions, but its bit mixed up my head at moment.

anyone can answer btw.

thanks
BB
