Trading is as simple as 1-2-3

Quoting hal7
A little down time here and since a few questions were directed my way, and TooSlow asked me to expand a little on how I trade 1-2-3, I am happy to do so. A little about me, I am an MBA in Investment Finance which is not all that useful in Forex trading where good instinct and persistence far outweigh what you might learn from a book. Also in my past life I was involved in the casino industry in computer operations of multi-million dollar progressive linked slot jackpots. Again I have observed some similarities to Forex trading. ...
Thanks HAL7.

Every 1-2-3/HOLO trader should read this.

Greetings Earthlings! I have received a communication from The Head from the Galaxy far, far, away...

As an extension to Supply + Demand info, statistical evidence has emerged showing that when the High / Low of the day is also the High / Low of the week / month...weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Something to bear in mind going forward.

So when price is coming out of the Supply Zone and it's a High of the Day which is also the High of the Week and the High of the Month.........we better Jump on board for the reversal and ride the trade south!? Optimal 123 opportunity

A new year, another trade. Here is my first trade of the year on GJ +5. I'm going to take a different approach here because my time is more limited as I am involved in some other trading ventures this year.

I'm going to post one trade during London. Win or lose. I will follow my same parameters that I had posted back in November. Stop is 5 above on a short 3 below on a long. 50% off at +5 stop to BE then 10 trailer and maybe to a 20.

This GJ trade worked out pretty good so far. Yes I bend the rules because it made a new on on this bar. But I do that. What I am most looking for is a move of at least a couple pips up to the high and then coming back through to trigger.

So far on this trade I got my +5 moved stop to BE and am now on 10 trailer. My trailer stopped at +2.3

Good trading to all for 2018

Here's my trade for the day. I took the EG long, again after making a new low on the same bar last hour. It looked like it was going to stop me out this hour moving back down but didn't. +5, 50% off stop now at BE.

{quote} Are the red and green lines showing inside bar lows and highs?
Hi TooSlow, those lines are an something I threw on the chart some time ago. I have forgotten where I got it from. The theory behind them is they draw and indicate direction of trend if they are breached. And yes probably IB's. I just observe them to see what they do in relation to price movement...

Took a hit of -9 on this EU short. Technically it did make a new high on the bar, but I take these types often. It moved back through the open for not quite +2 then shot back up and got my stop.

Spent the day fighting the DAX. The one thing I got out of it that didn't require any effort, was my first 1-2-3 of the year. At least I had the patience to wait for price to reach and then drop out of the Supply Zone.

Fridays...ho...hum...

I caught this EG long for +5 locked I have attempted to focus more on trades coming back more to the low or hi but see too many of these types that get away with profit. Also I am going to curtail my posting of trades from here on out. I may have been abducted by aliens. And have a lot more irons in the fire this year. You can see how I apply this method by now after maybe a hundred posts or so. It has its strengths and weaknesses like any method. On balance it is very solid. I will still be on the board just not as active. Good trading...

I was too busy working away at the lower time-frames this morning and managed to completely miss this classic entry on The DAX. Always remember to start with the bigger picture, folks!
