This one still may go up again but it's just too sideways for me.. The top left HH got breached and went sideways...also the entry #2 entry and stop at the low is less than a 1 to 1 RR to pivot high ...shy about 4 pips.Some traders will probably jump on it though.You all have a good weekend.

{quote} Hi How you know how big sl and tp use ?
Hi Lemon,
Stop goes below #1 candle --your entry need to be filled after #1 candle or the candle after it which i call the #2 candle that is if you have a
qualifying entry candle of a top 25% close.....vice versa for sell.We would like to see at least a 1 to 1RR to pivot high to left once you calculate your risk or close anyway.I personally cover to break even or above the entry candle once price reaches half my risk....TP would be at least a 1 to1 on one position and depending on your funds you can have multiple positions too if price goes higher.If your a new trader you will have to decide what type of trader you are and what
fits you the best. If your interested in this methodology there is plenty of examples. Take care

Hi Tex

Wonderful thread you have here, been reading this one with much interest. I love the rules attached to this method of swing trading. Thought I give it a go myself on the us/jp today.

Cheers

This one did go up and beyond without taking stop out at the low. Good job if you traded it.

Hi Brabo,
Glad you stopped by. Your top 25% close is good and rsi but your don't have the lowest low of the last 5 candles on your entry ...more or less
sideways.Just trying to help not being critical.

Hi Tex

No problem at all, I am still trying to get the hang of it and can use all the help. I see it now, guess I jumped in too fast. Maybe I get this wrong but should the lows have the shape of a 'V' when buying? I also thought the MA's were kinda "sharp" as in price did not bounce of it.. what do you think of that?

Must say the trade went really well though. Target 1 was hit relatively fast, great momentum. Removed the risk and the other one is still running. When I look at the weekly chart there may be room untill price reaches 111.36. Initially placed my second TP at 110.95 but when I saw it drifting I decided to loose the TP and maybe trail it. Guess I am always hoping for that "big one"... Greed or "let your profits run" as they say?

Cheers

Hi Barbo,
Not really a V shape...what we are trying to do is get a deep enough pullback for our risk.On a buy we want to count the lowest low (wicks)of the last 5 candles .Our entry should be on the lowest low candle or the next candle after it as long as our risk equals or pivot high to left.Then we look at our other rules---daily rsi to make sure it's going in the same direction etc etc. IMO the first 2 pullbacks our very important... Good job on that runner and now you can celebrate with a big juicy steak for lunch

If you did trade this one you should be at break even now --covered.Remember on the break even--cover point we want the red body on the cover point not
a wick.Another tip is to add spread from pivot point(target) on a sell if the spread isn't too large on first profit. Have a good day .

Should have made some green here. You can see where the buyers come right back in after it touch the pivot low(potential target). This is why i say add the spread up from the pivot low. This was a 16 pip risk on candle and price went as low as 388 and 392 would have been a 1:1 RR.We never know when we will go back into the range mode.

Can anyone tell me where the signal is on the aud/chf ? Very close to the 1:1 money now. Ask yourself : Do we have the lowest low of the last 5 candles ? 2. Do we have at least a 1:1 RR to pivot high to left compared to our risk ? 3. Are we in our sweet spot of rsi 4hr ? 4 .Is the daily rsi going up at the close of the 4hr entry ? 5. Is this a descent time for entry ? 6. Is this the first or 2nd pullback ? 7. Are we trending ? 8.Do we have a top or bottom 25% close on entry ? Then you decide if it's worth taking this trade .

Monk this one closed at my 8am time.I monitor all pairs with descent spreads so there is quiet a few on oanda...15 or 20 i would think.That Aud/nzd pair...the chart above entry closed at 4pm so i was napping then but this still had good liquidity and momentum then....
