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.
7) If the rules do not mention it, then it is of no concern.
=============================================
The important part is to enter WITHIN 20 pips of the daily low. The RAT REVERSAL is only one entry method.
=============================================
"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."

Bredz,
I can't make sense out of this sentence, either.

Asian Market Dying Out

I printed this thing out and then it hit me: how come the Asian market dies out 3 hours after it opens? Is this an error or is there something I don't know about Asian trading???
That's a good point johnedward, can anyone explain that? I'm curious as well...

Obviously, I could have gained more.
trueblueTEx,
But was it REALLY obvious though??:
Your post reminds me of this:
TheRumpledOne wrote: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
Now, I don't purely look to get my pips from DTB'ing LIKE A RAT withing 20 pips of the extreme, but when TheRumpledOne confirmed this was & is a proper mentality to have for scalping, it meant the world to me and confirmed that one need not DRAIN each Rat Reversal for it's full worth (which you would only know in hindsight) in order to be carrying out this scalping procedure correctly.

Would you say that regardless of the method you had been using over the years (be it "Anatomy of Draining the Banks", "Draining the Banks Rev. 8", "Draining the Banks Rev. 9", "Drain the Banks - Like A Rat" --{Anybody else see a pattern theme here??}--, or "Buy Zone"), your mentality / how you approached trading on a daily basis was always as in the below post?TheRumpledOne wrote:if price moves in your favor 2 pips and then stops...

Yes.
So just like in TRO's example, remind yourself [highlight=yellow][font=Comic Sans MS]when you're in the heat of a trade[/font][/highlight];
Is it 2 - 10
or
2 + 2
for you?
-----------------------
All that being said, I do congratulate you on your successes you post, and the progress you've been making learning this method. <But it totally sounded like you were leaning towards passing up on your next 5pip trade, so I felt to speak up.>

Hey Krane,
I am teaching myself this very lesson, right now: take what the market offers you!!
I have spent much more time on methods/systems that required high pip counts to make any money because you had to give the trade "room to develop" = drawdown ie, need big leverage.
I will succeed at this. It will just take some repeated failures and successes to carve the new pathways in my brain

TRO is a fantastic scalper. I have learned that I am not.
oh.. you meant the other part
Ive stopped chasing small pip targets. Im only interested in hundreds and thousands of pips... I make a number of small losses or b/e placing positions, cover them with positions closed strategically and let the rest go.... Linear Risk, Exponential Rewards.
But this is a thread for TROs RAT, not my abominable rat so I'll shut up again

I swear my broker is stealing from me. I'm going to try MBT and I hope I have better spreads. When taking an opportunity on the G/U sometimes I start out in the hole 5 pips, when I try to put in a pending order, I get error messages saying I need to be 30 pips from my entry, and I miss my entry.
When this method finally hit me, I thought I was going to start making pips fast, but realy I'm just making my broker money.
