Very early on in a trade you tend to get what you ask for.

If you set a stop at BE you get BE

If you set a stop at +3 you get +3

Full stops do not protect gains, they minimize them.

If you are up 8 pips and you feel that you need to move your stop
to protect your position then the best play is to take the 8 pips.

I'm not going to continue to muddy up TRO's thread with strategy though because that is not the name of the thread.

Thanks for the reply MightyOne, I am a bit confused though! Why did you cross out the exit strategy on the remainding 5 MICRO LOTS? Was was wrong about that part? Just need to know please :)

Thanks again

Here are 2 patterns that I look for before taking a rat trade:

a) 3-bar pattern where bodies are consecutively larger

b) 3-bar pattern where bodies are consecutively shorter

Price will either race towards S/R or slow down when it draws near to it (that is the theory anyway):

One of the reasons I have CC in shifts is to find these patterns.

Being there is no such thing as a trend, (read 1st page) These patterns will also be nice to use when price is continuing its march accross horizontal lines but after a little reaching has been in effect.

Nice to see some TRO YouTube videos.

TheRumpledOne was too funny! ...Rumpled T-shirts LOL :lol:

I was actually thinking before you explained it, "Man that is the most wrinkled shirt I've ever seen!"



Bredin, Best of luck with Trading School, should be a great way for some of the traders here to learn some of the concepts at an accelerated pace.

Great Videos TRO :)

Question about indicators

Postby Sylverayda » Fri Jan 06, 2012 8:02 am

Hello TRO,

Thank you for sharing all the great info.

Can you tell me what trading platform you favor and how can i get your indicators please. It is my understanding that there is a bunch of free/donational indicators - which i already have and that there's another bunch of those which you get access to after payment. I'd like to get them. What do i do? If i'm wrong - sorry - english isn't my native language.

I've already placed this message in another thread of this forum (TRO indicators) - but no reaction :oops:
