here's a pic. you can see those instances where there were some open orders, and price spiked / stop hunted to hit those open orders around the origin before continuing the direction of the main move.

I dont think it's an official rtm thing. it might be a theory from a members. the general idea is the market likes to pick up all pockets of orders (untouched qms, flags, etc.. ) before continuing in the direction of the engulf. If you see such a ...

maybe others have a different technique but best pin point entries for me is a combination of 1. engulf. trend or reversal. ideally with a sharp engulfing move + compression entrancement. not required but ideal. make sure your engulf makes sense in ...

absolutely. one of the biggest secrets of trading is: mm + psychology > trading system. Although everyone underestimates the first part, and over emphasizes the second. Which makes sense bc the first is easy to learn (so they disregard it), hard to ...

hey man! good to see you're still at it!

yea that's a pretty good take on it. generally speaking im looking for trend waves / stairsteps on top of everything else. and if it fits into the overall story, there's a potential trade. i

is that the kink of some sort from the left? either way its the base of a pole as well

my thoughts are something like this

a slight change in thinking i use when applying trends to rtm. following the new trend reversal before the london open.

compression also very tradable as trend trade. You can pile on 2-3 r trades into a very good day. but figure out when fo's are more likely to happen.

trend trade. follow the pole cp up, enter at the hook level. 4r in 10 mins for a fairly high win rate trade

straightforward trade bfore the news

your analysis looks good. origin areas always a good place to take a shot at a big bounce. i didnt look too much into it, just tried to give an alternate view with the chart he provided. lazy analysis, heh

short consideration

sry i dont know what that is

are you in the right thread? thats not an rtm term / concept.

some analysis of trades i made friday for some friends, thought i'd share it here too. i use different terminology so you can ignore those. it should be pretty self explanitory and throwing this one in there, showing the price pivots on each session ...

haha yes absolutely, our emotions and confidence are much harder things to overcome than price reading. but in my case it wasn't a bad idea to close out the trade before the weekend. My zone was very small, so one crazy move can wipe out my account. ...

what i tell people now starting off is to learn to predict the next move first, in the highest tf that makes sense for a trade. so get a sense of scale, keep your stop beyond the high / low, or the holding flag beyond it (in case of fo). Getting ...

man i dont know how much money and time i've lost from that little phrase. lol hard way indeed.
