Why do we do this?
Because we are placing and trailing a stop loss ('position') on the largest chart of which we have position at an extreme.

I don't know why people don't get this: you are always trading your largest chart.

You can trade the short term chart against the long term chart but at the end of the day(s) one of two things must happen:
1. the large chart complies and bends to you.
2. you comply and bend to the large chart.

No matter what: you are [eventually] always trading your largest chart.

If you were sitting there looking at only the daily chart then how would you trade it?
Guess which extreme you would choose (direction of loss)?

When people argue against extremes I just laugh, the absurdity of the argument is too much for my mind to handle; as If I were one to strive for something in vain, as if there were another path that I am just not seeing.

Trade without the extreme!
Place your stop randomly, according to your entry, within the short term range!
Aim for 1.5:1, and dream of 4:1! =D>
I know your type, you're nothing but fodder; I will eat of the meat you create & get fat on your profits.

When you find a truth hold onto it, dig a moat and guard it, for seeing the way is the holy grail.


Feeling poetic I see!
I tend to favor the ZL after the extreme and lean
on both. Just about every time i put my postion
inside the extreme it would get cracked often.

like clockwork :lol:

The D1 extreme used to be pretty safe but now it too is likely to be pegged.

48 to 56 hours seems to be the sweet spot.

I would say mine are about 1 to 3 candles depending
on how the extreme forms.

Cones in the hands of an amateur!

Thanks so much for your persistence MO - now to learn exactly how to use this info - I shall do many markups over the Christmas period

That markup I posted yesterday where I said I missed the trade because I was at work - Well Price kindly returned

I targeted the bottom line - Well, It would have been rude not to!

I really should have acted on a a blue arrow to add when the illusion candle poked its nose over the line - but ...excuses excuses

I expanded my space for the long as I am not happy CT atm on this pair - although we are at the yearly extreme - right on an interesting monthly dragon line.

Another thing - I should have (maybe) taken a tp at the first higher pink line and re-positioned my space at the zero line

edited the colours - the pink was my starting point

Ok, fine. It took some time to reread this thread and some others. Now I feel that I am still missing something important here.
If we wait for a close above/below something more significant, we will be far away from the daily+ extreme. But the goal is to enter within 20-30 pips from it, right?
Here is another try. We were far away from multi-day extremes so I positioned at BOx. Got stopped out.

Then you read the part about 'end of trend momo'?

This was obviously a take profit area...
give me an example that isn't stupid.
