Hi,
First of all, I would like to thank Kevin for sharing with us this very interesting trading method.
Just a quick thought on BB method:
I have noticed that the Risk: Reward ratio is very unfavourable when entering a trade that has a tight price entry-SMA range (say < 40 pips); Risk:Reward ratio is 2.5:1 (approximately 100 pips SL are risked as opposed to 40 gain).
Wouldn't it be more favourable to avoid directly enetering such trades but instead place an entry order at a price at least 60 pips away from the SMA and hence benefiting from the following:
1. Improved Risk:Reward ratio by 50% (2.5:1.5).
2. Improved pips profit potential (minimum of additional 20 pips, that is if your entry order is ecexuted).
3 Less pips loss potential as you will keep the 100 (or ATR) SL away from the original price entry level and not the planned one (80 pips instaed of 100).
What do you think?
