(after all I dont know just how far price will push through on a break in - if at all!)-



The long term is for placing/trailing stops, the short term is for accumulating size and space prior to the long term move.

Work/Sleep trading seems to be an epidemic around here :shock:
Trading Forex is like having a baby, you have to be ready to wake up at any time the price alert cries.

Focus on one cycle a day:
If you only have time to add once then add once and look for an exit.
If you can add twice then get the 3rd order in and look for the exit.

Write down your space, size, & pip value and then go to work or sleep: 53 & 6 @ $1.20.
What if you move to a chart where the pip value is 80 cents? (1.2 / .8 ) * 53, your new space is 79.5 & 6 @ $.80...
and back to $1.20: (.8 / 1.2) * 79.5 = 53. Gives you some ideas for situations where you have lost space doesn't it :idea:

Try to attack the same chart if you can but if it moves without you then it moves with out you.
Eventually (my favorite word...next to 'something') you are going to catch the long term chart making a move and you will be in the market with size (& that is what is important).


Thanks again MO

That's a really interesting answer

I now know you wait to see whats going to happen after price hits your alert

If you expect to see what you want to see - you act

I am thinking its a bit like dragon or espips - momo away - return to about 50% observe the reaction - hit the go button - with price heading in your direction - like tro's horz line approach

Im going to split my trading ideas over two types of ideas as a result :)

I am giving up a pending order on an extreme for an alert at the same level

Thanks again

You don't need indicators or fancy systems to tell you what you already see with your own eyes.

Are bodies closing lower? Price is probably not going up.

Is price breaking out and then closing lower? Price cannot rise on wicks!

"lets combine this with...a powerful system!" they say as I sit back in my leather chair and laugh :roll: :lol:

When will they see that the entry does not exist and that trading is placing and trailing stops based on an idea (a simple truth)

When will they shift their focus from making pips to making money?

The attached chart shows the multiple reasons for going short but it does not show the idea.

The chart shows a profit but profit is meaningless without size...

The 'idea' is the grand perspective, it gives meaning and value to short term trades.

Without it you are just swinging your fists in the dark looking to land a few pips.

You don't need any advanced knowledge, just a longer term perspective and to be extremely focused on accumulation, markup, and distribution.

The chart shows various reasons to enter Short and get pips...
It doesn't show the idea/blueprint of going from getting pips, to getting massive gains.

About that "Idea" is strictly recomended to look for accumulation and distribution areas? I dont know how to pick good ones.

I like the idea of 1-2-3 system (get into trade after corection wave and hold position until price is closing over something). For me is easier to trade on one timeframe only.

Question is why you use bigger TF and then trade lower one? What must happen on higher TF to say " great after this, I will trade only short on lower TF (and vice versa)?"
