Quoting The Cableguy
I tend to see things in phases and i am fairly sure that i either would have left that trade alone, or at least got out quickly. Unless the phase is printing a diagonal, they tend to stay in channels, so deeper pullbacks that break out of a channel may be in a different trend; {image}
Good post.. The first trade that you marked down I didn't take it because it didn't have a thrust.. The second you marked I like it but I was in the other trade that was going against me :-)

I see things in channels and triangles.. I don't mind losses as long as I am profitable.. Have a great weekend!

This thread is pure gold! If you are reading this far into the thread and have meandered from system to system, STOP! Stay here and just absorb it!

I agree! New traders want things to be easy, so they flock to indicators thinking it will make trading much easier.. But once you study pure action, you will start to see the light.

..wondering if it would be worth having an initial SL at say 5 - seems the better setups rarely go against much more than that...

H, is your initial 15 SL from research or feel/observation?

Just looking at the session, there was a decent bullish run up after the initial dip . . .

I do like the small pullbacks within strong trends for retest levels, almost like little hiccups, but when PA revisits that level directly, is is usually good for an order;
