I probably would have jumped in and taken pips on a pure PA trade, if I was watching it closely. All that would have been needed is to exit on the first hint of a red candle.
Thank you. You are always so patient with I persistent questions seeking deeper understanding. It means alot. Steve

All of the trades I posted above are ones that I set up before bedtime last night. All of them made good pips, except USDJPY, which may yet. The system really works....
Could you please summarize how we should play BOs, as you did recently for 3Tap?
Today i am trying 3Tap mostly and would like to confirm if i understand correctly.
In the second part of week we play following Weekly RSI, but do we always enter, or something should stop us ? How good enter should look like.
What should be most important in first part of week?
Regards

A nice BO for about 60 pips . Was on my watch list, happened overnight and I didn't set a pending order.

Indicators tell us this pair will continue long. There is now a H4 3 Tap set up, but no trigger. Does everyone understand the difference between a setup and a trigger? If not.....speak out.

The setup would be the 3 Taps for a 3 Tap trade or the S/R lines for a BO trade.

The trigger comes after the setup..it can be hours after the setup in fact. The trigger gives us the entry into the trade after the setup has occurred. Sometimes a trigger never happens, in which case we abandon the setup.

In the chart above, the trigger will be PA heading up, in which case the candle (will likely be the next candle, or even the candle after that) will turn green, and the RSI H4 indicator will turn up. That is the trigger which tells us to enter the trade.

Requires patience.

Can someone on this example shortly define how you would set your SL and TP based on the R/S levels so I understand on a real time example? (I do need to learn more about this to beter understand this process)

Finding logical SL and TP levels:

1. Minimize your chart (minus button on platform [-]). That's called pulling back on chart.

2. Using same TF, look for a levels of support and resistence. I did not see any on the H1 TF for this pair.

3. If you don't see any, move to next higher TF. In this case the H4 chart. Again look for levels of support and resistence. I still did not see any on this TF for this pair.

4. Move to the next higher TF, the daily chart...ah ha...there they are very clear.

5. That is where I put in my TP at around 84.26.

Same thing for SL.

Hi Lawgirl - Im an avid follower of your thread and congratulate you on your success. I have one question re your overnight trades - am I right to presume that the RSI indicators were all pointing in the right direction at the time of entering the pending trades?

Thanks
Yes, we only think about setups on confirmation on the 3 TFs at the time of set up. They may move around somewhat after setup, but we can't control that as long as the longest TF (weekly for a H1 and H4 trade) stays with us.
