"Hi FractalFreak Would you please be able to answer my questions in post #4024 (from #4018) and the last sentence in post #3884 ? Your brief reply (post #4021) to my post #4018 merely cast an unfounded aspersion about myself by insinuating that I did not view your videos in full (but I did). It seems that the most important questions in my post were skipped. i.e. stop loss & profit targets (risk vs reward) All that I am trying to do is to understand how to use your teachings in a practical manner (even though the teachings are only 10% of the whole)....
Many thanks for that enlightening post (#4052) FractalFreak,

As for writing "unfair" things, I only wrote about the fact that you almost never answer the most important of anyone's questions properly (if answered at all).
I can list the posts that I have made where you did not answer the most important parts. I have screenshots of all of them.
-->> So there is my motive for writing "frustrated" posts.
1. They would never have been written if there was no frustration with the most 'important' questions being ignored/unanswered in thread members posts.
2. Additionally, you insulted me by casting incorrect aspersions about my not paying attention to the entire NZDUSD videos.
Points 1. & 2. above "caused" my posts.

I never wrote anything that was abusive.

Learning fully and logically has always been my priority -->> no more, no less.
So let us put this all in the past and continue?

Do you understand now how USELESS 95% of price-based indis are? They either lag, repaint or whipsaw. And the SM Algos take advantage of that. Look at the popular MAs on the day charts. FF

Hi FractalFreak,
in your post #4052 you state -
"NOW; regarding risk-return, if you trade FX SHORT-TERM and you understood all the content here, you will realize that "good risk return" trades are rarely possible if you trade below the H4 chart. There is a REASON for that, namely the SM cleaning the house (remember time & range principle) so much that you cannot just place trades on let's say the M5 and then hope that your return will be 3 times the distance of your stop.
Otherwise, FX would be EASY!"
This confirms for me that trading timeframes below 60minute or 240minute charts may not be worth the trouble from the point of view of both risk/reward and your "SM takes DM positions" principles.
Many thanks for that insight.

It looks like SM algos work around 200 EMA, especially in lower TFs. Without any tools, we may guess where the clustered SL level is, and how the algos attempt to attack... For example, currently EU is bearish at lower TFs, and I expect algos will attack weak SLs above 200 EMAs before the market continues to go down. (Of course, market can go straight down without pull-back, that's beyond retailer's control) Just a common sense stuff....

Algos vs. the lowly retail trader. Can you compete in an algo world?

I respect his system, but to be honest, I don't think he can access to such deep level information. That can be very expensive if any exist. I can be wrong but I guess his levels are based on some kind of tick volumes or MAs. This is also a common sense stuff.

In general I would agree....but when combined with other factors such as big numbers, the timing....certain ones, TDI for example can be useful. As far as MAs are concerned I would only use them for trading back to (the 50 EMA on a 15 min chart for example) after the MM trend has happened and as a target for the reversal. But in general, the way that they are presented...they are junk.

Yes...understanding the fractal nature is recognizing the stop hunts on lower time frames as opportunities to enter the major trend with low risk.
