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.


Hey Procharged,

I did say I don't use FIBs. I took them off of my charts although Ruler
of six might be a good tool, I would prefer to go naked.

I think Fibs and the fact that they work (sometimes) has less to do with
the Fibs themselves and more to do with human nature and Price Action.

BTW... My current exit targets are:
*** 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 (possible S/R)


That tight stop and movement of stop sounds eerily similar to this guy on this thread......extreme R:R ratios.

Need to keep focus and wait for price to go where I want to make my
decision. My trigger finger is getting itchy, so I am posting this.


What made you exit the last trade early at a small loss -1 instead of a large loss?

First step "don't take large losses"

Second thing is I moved my stoploss in prematurely and it worked against
me on my next trade also :cry:

Too bad you can't get 5second tick data anywhere to back test his theory.

With 3 pip risk and 120 pip target. You would just need 1 win every 40 trades to make a profit.

He's been trading that way for over a year so I guess it a working method, for him at least.

Posted the rest of my trades today, I was pretty nervous today. I moved
my SL too tight because of it and missed +18 pips and got -3 :oops:
