{quote} Mr. Pip, where was your stop at these trades?
Below the previous buy zone. I talked about this in the live stream.

Text book example of Mr.Pip's style.

1. Structure analysis to correctly draw my zones that price might be challenged at

2. Entered 1 to 1 aggressive C to D completion

3. Moved SL to break even at the test of lower structure

4. After price achieved the 127.20% extension, I started trailing decision candles.

Result = + 69

If a stubborn schmuck like me can finally start to get these habits, then anyone can get this.
Kudos to Damian for creating a positive learning environment on Forex Factory.

Thanks Damian.

I started at the tadpole level. Now at frog level.
Final level will be bull frog level.

Now let's go tear it up, homie!

I can't wait to go live.

I noticed this one as well.

Price just smashed through a major demand zone that has been quite strong demand zone that formed about 13 months ago.

Mr. Pip, quick question. Do u usually form a bias before the morning session? Personally I feel any kind of bias seems to do more harm than good for day trading.

He does not. Swing expectations are the bias.

Stopped out for +232 points.


Again.. price came to the golden zone.. 6.18%

I took the aggressive C to the D and started trailing decision candles once price hit the 127.20%

Harmonically it should go to the 161.80%

Have a great night/ day all.

I got the question on Discord why I took the last trade (3 entries). I initially answered the question to him personally, but maybe other are also interested.

Here my thoughts on my trade:

I show it on 233T, it is easier to see
we made a clear NSL (leg with 1)
Price corrected far to much up and structure on the left (leg with 2)
Then price tried again an attack for a NSL
but what do you see?
breakdown of bears
and a ab -cd like move in an area of structure
so I basically traded the correction
Since I was in with 3 entries, I am more aggressive and do not let a lot of room, so I got taken out at the 38.2 level.
Anyway, it was more than enough profit, so I do not care.

Hope this helps

PS: I am not saying that you should trade like that. I only wanted to show what happens if someone only trades according to the immediate orderflow (in particular in the bottom area of the chart) without taking into account other parameters. On longer term, you should have survived and reach also TP, if managed properly and when SL at the right place. However, I do not like such huge SL., so had to setup something else.
I see many people talking about expectation and ......................., but this implies also that SL, TP, ...... are set on the right place.

This was it for this year. Hope that all ended green today.

It's crazy how similarly I trade to you. I went over your chart and those are the trades that I would've took.
Finally getting to a point of consistency.

I think that today will be a day that I can use to practice being patient. The market reminds me of a seasoned sushi chef cutting up cucumber into those thin slices.

chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
