any other opinions?

G.


I'm starting to think that adding positions on a higher tf is safer, but staying within the same timeframe allows you to see more of the previous congestion areas, which are the hurdles future price must jump over to make adding positions more profitable. This would allow you an earlier entry on adding positions.
If you switch to a higher timeframe, your next possible 'add position' focus point could be +100 pips away, at that type of gain you have a few extra pips to flush down the toilet if you are wrong.

I am often asked the same questions over and over and over again.


How do you get those massive gains?

&

How do you know when to exit?


In the beginning :lol: ...


The secret is simple :shock: and yet few understand it.

1. Trade off of high time frame extremes.

Why do you trade off of high time frame extremes?

2. Price closes over a line on a high TF chart.

That is right, trading off of the extremes buys you a ticket into the larger time frame S&R game.

3. Price makes a higher high.

Price does not make a higher high ONE TIME in a trend, what makes you think that it will be this time?

4. There is a burst of high TF momo.

5. Liquidate.


It is not so much that I know what is going to happen as it is that I know what I am looking for & am willing to wait for it.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, NOT A PREDICTION!

Time of day to trade

Postby cosmoe1 » Mon May 24, 2010 4:54 pm

Hi Mo,
I've been watching this thread since you guys started it.

One main qusetion I have is what time of day do you trade. Or do you put in limit orders and when it happens it happens.

The other is concerning stop loss. Is your stop loss always put at the height of the previous candle on a 4h candle.

I have been trading Tro's Rat Reversal system for about two weeks,. I am constantly getting stopped out using a 10 pip stop loss as he reccommends. I wont go as far as saying my Broker is stop hunting but..................

When price is moving, that is the time of the day to be trading.


Stop loss? What stop loss? Only people that want to be stopped out use a stop loss :lol:


RAT TRADE

No system will succeed without a skillful trader. If it were as easy as buying the breakout of a #2 point then everyone would be rich.

At least you know what to do in hindsight :lol:


If you can remember that position is the name of the game then you will do very well.

If you trade the small TF without long term position then you have no real claim to big pips.
