Exit Targets:
*** initial SL of -5
*** candle closes against S/R smaller loss
*** adjusted SL of BE after price moves away 6 to 10 pips
*** range of +13 to +20 depending on situation

15 pips average will be 25% accuracy or better to Break Even.

50% accuracy and 50 trades a month get me to my 250 pips destination.

Follow the PLAN, Follow the PLAN, Follow the Plan

Practice, practice, practice!



lol

almost looks like my m5 scalp chart-------- :D

made most of those same trades--- in those areas----

u catch this last move ----- not sure what happened but they are whacking it---- m5 came ack into a little resistance line on the m5 right before it started tanking


So you mean this one :D
I didn't catch it I was making lunch, can't get them all.
It would have been according to my plan tho.

Nice Job ES/PIP... my trading plan accounts for 20 pips max on that move
so that is what I would have took since it was moving so quick.

Looks like we are both focusing on EUR/USD for m5 scalping (S/R), we
probably can compare notes, although I only trade first half of US
session (mostly) :)

no emotions...it is only a game of Pac-Man

You was kickin' some but there. I don't think I can be as aggressive as
you. You did well, 24% is "nutty". :shock:

I didn't get to trade as long as I wanted Friday. I did check the charts
and according to my plan there was another nice entry for about +20
pips. Pretty much a no brainer.

Thanks for the chart. Maybe it will help me although it looks like you
confirm the trades I have on my chart. :D

Little arrows are entry and direction

Grey box are profit targets based on MightOne's Ruler of Six


Funny you say you don't trade fibs but the ruler of 6 is plotted with the fib tool
Will you please explain the calculations you use for your targets.
for some reason I'm NOT seeing what they are based on. As Bredin's targets move with the forming candle.

Maybe you can explain it differently.

I understand fibs, extensions, and retracements.
I understand that his is set in increments of six.

I'm NOT seeing where he pulls them from based on the last 3 candles.
thx.

I really want to take some weekly rides with my account.

Pro you have to measure the distance of the middle size previous 3 candles high to low. Take that measurement and pull your fibs from the low extreme, in a long example, of the candle you are trading. You will not know where the candle will close. The fibs should be pulled from the bottom, in a long trade, of the candle being traded and the top will be at the calculated measurement. The extension of the fibs will give you T1 on a non-momo candle and T2 on a momo candle. Reread MO's first 3 or so post and really think about it and it will come to you. Calculate your fibs per Mo's instructions on a post on the first page of the thread. Hope this helps.
