Body shows the direction. Play in the direction of the body.

This thread is not about scalping :lol:

Pips are meaningless without size.


Now if you showed how you traded away from extreme, successfully doubled your size, & THEN increased your size by 50% scalping to your TP then that would be constructive.

Low volatility = 8 pips :)

Currently, I do not play extreme, but if I played - example:

I sensed I wasnt getting it, so I closed my short on e/j from 55 at 20 taking +35 @ 3 lots.

Now I will look for next extreme.
My take from the latest post is it cant be any 2 day candles...were looking for swings, extremes, s/d on the daily time frame so we have some room for price to move and we escalate our position?

One thing I'm not sure about is if I'm supposed to place my fib 100 on stop loss and drag the 50 down to the 15/25/35 pip range or whether I drag the 0 to the 15/25/35 range? (Not sure if that makes sense, let me know if I need to clarify better)

How does this look? I already have an open position, ignore that

Enter around the 50 fib short 0.75%?

day 2+ extreme or higher = more pips

the biggest problem with this methodology and space war 2 is my inability to guage when to liquidate when i think the overall move is still going to go my direction.

My trading started in simplicity & gradually became more complex before plateauing in simplicity :lol:

Hey buddie!

Try going for the accumulation of space as a target
or a % goal like 12.5% of your account or whatever
makes you h*rny.

Since theres always a +2 day extreme to make extreme trade,
BOx trade etc etc you will always have the opertunity
to get back in.

Yes you might miss a few spikes but in my mind its all about
grabbing that cash baby! :D

MightyOne, are you playing extreme in the direction of the main trend or playing in both directions?
