Hello,

interesting answer :) .
Are you saying that this is not an entry method but just a way to see if the trade you are already in from the extremes is still going strong or am i reading to much into it?

Would you recommend I finish the rest of the 250 pages in the NLA thread before beginning this thread? Or skip to this thread or even the post you linked me to?


I would never tell someone to read through hundreds of pages, but I wouldn't stop them either :D

It is hard to answer you when I don't know what your goals are.

If you want to study trading then read tens of thousands of posts over several forums.

If you just want to make money then ask and someone will show you how =)


Can someone please show me the way??? Can't get my head around this method yet. [-o<

Remember: you must normalize your risk when increasing your position size (if you double your lots then you must halve your 'space' (drop your stop closer to the current price).

Looking at the daily highs and lows, one can see where price "runs out of gas" and must return to "refuel".
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TRADE, IT'S HOW YOU TRADE IT!

Please do NOT PM me with trading or coding questions, post them in a thread.

I am mostly interested in 'double failures':

Lower high (failure 1), breakout of lower high but does not close higher (failure 2)

price is in a down-trend, there is a higher high that fails to close higher (1), there is a breakout of that higher high but price fails to close higher (2).

Two is a trend :wink:

If you are simply trying to get in on a good thing then you can use any long term breakout as your stop:

Probably stating the obvious... But your broker times are different... You using FXCM where MO is using MBT... MBT daily open is based off of New York (if memory serves) whereas yours would be another timezone... Ergo you will have differing candles for anything larger than H1...
