1. You need to stop looking for a 100 percent strategy. I'm extremely close to having extremely low loss system with my final upgrade to my system, but guess what, that means I'll have to leave a few more pips on the table because of the way the new exit system works. It will be only after I've traded the new exit system for at least a year will I find out if overall I'll make more than I did when I let my stop loss get hit and exit at higher R:R ratio. In my first few trades I've have no loss but only a couple of trades that reached their full potential, whereas the others were exited at 2-3 pips because of the new exit system. The amount of stress relief I get knowing that I will get extremely low number of red trades is amazing, but again, I cannot predict that from now on I will never hit my stop loss. This is simply not true because of one sole reason. If any crazy news comes out then even my extremely strict system will not be able to stop the price from hitting my SL. So, I'll be spending the next 11 months trying to find out if my new system works or not. It's the underlying principle of retracement that is set in stone for my trading style and not the specific mechanical rules.
2. These levels should only give you an idea how much price correction has taken place. Beyond that, you need a robust entry system to take advantage of these retracements. This robust system should lag more than price.
3. Finally, you need to focus on particular levels that allow you to enter early but the robust entry system makes sure that you are not entering way too early. The lagging entry should delay your entry but the levels focused on should give you enough retracement to let both the robust entry system and levels work in harmony.
