In 100 trades.

30 trades * 5 pips + 50 trades * 3 pips - 20 trades * 10 pips = 100 pips profit. (if we can't catch in ANY trade more than 5 pips ).

Thanks fran.

Thee problem for me is consecutive losers chasing the high/low leading to a great drawdown.

Gansgta,

Can you post some pictures? If you mark the trade entries and SL, perhaps TRO and other more experienced traders can see something to help you... and everybody can learn.

Cheers

gangsta,

if you are getting killed trading the reverses, trade the breakouts.

I think TRO said that in an earlier DTB thread.

I have not seen TRO mention breakouts with rev9.

I do see great breakout opportunities with rev8 however. They do tend to move faster than the reversals.

Here is a screenshot of the EU today during London open. Red rats would have been stopped out 4 times consecutively (-40) chasing the daily high.



The EJ had 2 consecutive losses. Yes the third trade was a nice run but whilst adopting a take what you can policy, unlikely the whole move would have been caught. The purpose in me posting these charts is to discover if these entries could have been timed better and how - they follow the rules.

Hi Gangsta1,

You may probably consider filtering the trades by the size of M5 reverse candle. Say for red rat trades, take the trade only when body of the red candle is greater than previous green candle. Well, you may miss some moves, but, it will surely help to cut down your losses.
cheers,

Johny

Thanks for the advice johny but it does not seem to make that much of a difference looking at those charts. It would have also kept red rats out of the winners.
