I am left with range & correction running through my brain. Over

MOMO on some timeframe is actually range depending on the angle
of the move.

WICKED IN is actually correction unless of course it becomes the
new range.

ENTRY is at 0 to 50% of the range at some form of Support/Resistance.
ie. zline on pegged timeframe, zline on smaller TF, Rat entry, ect. basically
looking to enter near where stops will push you in your direction

EXIT near exterme of MOMO/Range. Look for trouble spots at the extreme
and make the exit there.

thanks aliassmith

Im shure this is a very effective method. My problem with this aproach is that i can not stay in front of the screen all the time. Because im working fulltime and have lots of meetings where i can not trade. This means i have to work with SL...

How are otherones dealing with the problem when working on an other job?

For example in a scale in situation: First SL is -20Pips after 30 Pips in Profit you double your position.If you would set the sl (for the second half) to the same point as with the first one you increase the risk.

Know what im doing (and thinking is a good thing to do) in this example is set new sl for whole position to 20Pips Risk to stay at this risk level. This means i move the stop.

Any thoughts, tipps or experiences of some of you about the issue?



aliassmith wrote:Worth repeating over and over again:

1. DO NOT SCALE DOWN
2. DO NOT MOVE STOPS TO BREAK EVEN
3. DO NOT USE TRAILING STOPS AS EXITS
4. DO NOT TRADE LIKE A COMPUTER
5. DO NOT FAIL TO TAKE THE TRADES YOU SEE
6. DO NOT CONSIDER YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE 2B REAL MONEY.

When you average your lots in, I would think that you consider the most
recent S/R and plan for an exit if the 5minute candle close against that
area. So plan your overall risk based on that information, you are building
a position, not individual trades.

I believe MIghtyONe said the SL is set because he doesn't want to risk infinity so he sets it at the maximum risk and lets PA determine the rest.

All of you who said thanks you are welcome. Maybe I am wierd, ok I
probably am :lol: but I have been on a mission to understand price
movement at it's core. When I see people post trading concepts I
try to break them down to their basic building blocks.

I use this thread to post my findings and observations along with some
ramblings. :)

Have you ever looked at a high timeframe candle setup and broke it down
to see what magic/logic is "behind the curtain"?

Ranges, Corrections, and order placement (stop orders)?

I actually took the last trade in two different moves based off of the 5
minute. About 70 pips worth! I am happy about it. :D
