Spent most of the day at my local Cats Protection Adoption Centre today - awesome place and such a phenomenal bunch of staff and volunteers that keep it going - not to mention the furbombs themselves of course

I wish the place didn't need to exist but while it does, it deserves all the kudos going, as do all the CP centres.

Anyone at a loose end as to what charity to drop a few quid toward this Christmas...please give CP consideration.

Anyway, back at the coal face - anybody still actually trading? Why???????

Had my wee look-see in The Monster's Lair and kind of answered my own question, I suppose, as it was an eazy-peazy-lemon-squeezy bunch o' pips to be had in our usual morning time-slot.

I don't know if the earlier slot would have been up to much but running over the 08:00 move, you can see the perfect entry long off a 50-Fib cw MA cw 08:00 confluence.

The 50 to 23.6 would have given (without your spread involved) +5.6...50 to 0.0 was +10...the tall move +21 which would have done me and the kitties just fine.

While I was on, just had a wee play.

Same set-up, that is a Fib Pull-Back. Double-Dipped.

Not bad, done just for giggles. Buys a couple of presents.

Actually, had a look at that first chart from this morning - and the time is shifted...never noticed that before!!! Yikes!!!! UTC+1

So, that time slot wasn't 08:00 but 07:00 after all.

Wrist duly slapped.

Cable, the 00-00 4 hour bar was actually an inside bar.

This bar has already been broken and then a retrace. IT MIGHT FAIL, LETS SEE..

edit.. the actual inside has triggered and not the mother bar....

Hey, I've got a question, not related to any of the methods, but trading itself. I came across an old video from another galaxy regarding the "exit playbook" and got me thinking.

When you start testing a new method, how do you go about it? (whichever that might be)

I mean, once you've got the stats where you see something that'd give you an edge, how do you build your trading plan and "exit playbook"? Are there any other things that you look for that might alter your exits such as, support and resistance zones, pivots, ranges, momentum, patterns, candle shapes, etc? Do you have different exits for different circumstances? If that's so, wouldn't that essentially go against not complicating things?

Do you have this written down and follow it strictly the same way as you would follow your entries? And at which point do you consider "alright, my trade management is working", or "no, this isn't working"? Positive p/l after a certain number of trades or a certain amount of time?

I'm asking this because I find that having something like this might help, as I always end up being all over the place when I'm in a trade. I just don't know how to go about it.

Maybe at this point you're all experienced and you do this discreationarliy with a positive outcome, but I don't know , so that's why I am asking.

For me, it can vary from method to method. Some are more discretionary than others.

I do start from the position of knowing I have a Dollar amount target, once that is reached I'm not giving it back.

However once it is reached, my most likely catch all for exit points will come from a combination of fib-maps, micro S+D and significant levels.

Often, however, these are still not cut-and-dried, as if I am looking to extend a move, I will enter into a Counter Trade on a pullback along the way, to add some extra dosh to the pot.

I run the pullback as far as I can and once it looks to be turning back in my original direction, I close it out and bank it. Often I will then also add in at this point.

Should the pullback prove to be more than simply a pullback and instead prove to be a full scale turn, then I've protected my original move cash by having the counter entry be - in effect - a very early entry into a new trade. The original will be closed and often I will see a fib level or perhaps a Z-Line level has played a part.

morning, t 08--13

Cable.... the 00-00 4 hour bar high has been broken.. ( only just BUT BROKEN)

ideally we want it to now drop so maybe chase the daily range.
lines on chart are Major and mini levels where we can aim for.

Sir Billy, a question for you. When you counter, how long do you let a loser run? Until it's profitable, until next day, or something else?
Buy low, sell high.

The hour between dog and wolf is a pretty good start. Coates deals with the whole biological and psychological cosmos of risk taking. It is a pretty new view influenced by maybe the last ten years of neuroscience.

The counter is on until you are in profit,
That could be an hour, 2 hours , next day etc.

as you have seen what i do in the past,
i can have a fail and trade the opposite end of the bar and make 5% but still keep the counter on.

Thanks for responding. I've noticed that this is what you do and wanted to confirm.

The 5% is the 15-28 pipso-points?

Cable, t 08-35 ......we hit a mini level a short while back.

just for thought. it might carry on to 12700 area or drop to 12550 area....??? this is the tricky part.lol

That is why i like to trade off the retrace off the 00-00 4 hour bar.
