Analysing on the phone is so easy due to it's screen size/aspect ratio.

Hi everybody,
I guess I still need to learn.

I set sell limit order. And it works after hit my SL first.
I guess my reading was right. But market tells me not.

There's some great discussion on here from selfcontrol and everyone else. I'm trying to get to grips with the concepts and I've come across a common situation that's confusing me.

Early on in the thread there's a lot of charts showing overlapping FL's...one hold's price down, then another takes it out and forms a new FL to hold price up. This makes sense to my brain...a kind of swapping of orderflow.
Then along comes the LS kink !! And what I find is that it's not always aligned with an FL. In the diagram below, as price comes down to the RED FL I'd like to know what you guys are thinking ---

1. Are you looking to buy at the MPL of that FL with a tiny SL in case price eventually wants to go to the kink?
2. Do you now ignore the FL and wait from a trade at the kink?

See, you can't just say "guess not" when something you analyse fail - you need to dig deeper and see why. And asking here on the forum is not the answer to those questions, you need to do it again and again until you see consistency in your reasoning, only then will you be able to read price confidently and with no regard to what anyone else tells you. If it works, it works. Sure, you will get some losers here and there, but in the grand scheme of things they won't even equal a drop in the ocean when you look at the RR.

I've been analysing like this for a year now, first found forex in the summer 2017, yet here I am. Do you think I would be spending my time on this forum if I was economically free to do what I want? Not a chance. I am stuck with my inner demon, a mean son of a bitch stopping me from taking 99% of the trades I analyse because of an extreme fear of failure, an intense tendency of self-harm and a need for absolute perfection in anything I do. Do not let the inner critical voice take control over your mind and body people, it is living hell. Analysing is one beast to tame, trading is a whole different being.

The thing keeping me going is knowing that if I had taken just a fraction of all the trades I've analysed over the last year I'd be one of the richest men in the world. I am going way beyond what I originally planned on sharing on this forum, but I know from my own experience that these charts will not mean a damn thing to anyone who's not made tender love to the charts for thousands of hours and truly try to understand - and that is okay with me.

And your obsession with mertch's old chart - if you can't reason it out, do you really need to know it? There is absolutely no need to trade every move in the market, as long as you find your (hate this f-ing word), edge, you will be set. I never cared for any of the terminologies from this thread except for "flag limit", that's all it is to me. All I've learned is from my own chart time, plus the basics from the charts of some of the contributors in this thread, but most of the time their reasoning and charts were not accurate enough to satisfy me. Trades with no stop loss? That is madness in my opinion.

Do you keep a structured approach to learning how to analyse properly? Do you make hypotheses and test them out? If not, then how can you say that you are giving it your best effort? This became more of a rant than I intended, but I just didn't want anyone to think I was doing something I am not. When I disappear from the forum you know I have beaten my demon.

so true, that's why i rarely refrain from telling truth/secrets (in my brain)

since nowadays i understand this is exactly like soccer tennis or whatever sports, one has to exercise it thousands of times to get it... not by hearing it, lol

Hi, MTL, your statistics make me wonder, since i'm suffering from this issue: how to define the TP? or estimate the most likely target? for every setup, i put 3 positions, each position would be 1R risk if lose, i'll lose 3R if winning, i'll exit 1st position at 1R, so 1R win i'll exit 2nd position at 2R, so 2R win i'll exit 3rd position at 5R, so 5R win ( or it retrace back to 1R?) altogether, i have 8R win (or 4R, if price did retrace) so all in all, for my setup, I have only 8:3 (or 4:3), that is, 2+RR or 1+RR. That's what I got for my TT, although...
Hi Charvo,

Sorry for the late reply
I do take trades on HTF and my entries down to M1.
I set up a reasonable target and put a take profit on the trade.
If I get stopped out even after my trade went in my favor I never touch the stop loss.
I let the take profit take me out and most of the times I reverse my trade.

I always takes extremes of the range in the direction of the engulf in the scale i'm trading

the drawing i did to hendzwoter is exaclty how i trade any pair and any Time frame.

When I get stopped out I know an engulf has occured and I will generaly take the opposite edge of the range.
I don't trade FTR I trade decision to come back in after engulf. It gives me very high RR

Don't be lazy going down to M1, it's worth the time. It will increase your RR, increase your lot size and you can even lower % at risk

my 2 cents

Thank you! you made perfect sense by sticking to your SL. If I can reliably decide a PA, then I should definitely apply your logic.

Yes, so I took MTL's response to me to mean that he basically expects the RED FL/FTR to be FO'd to the kink

Exactly!

you wait for the engulf and you buy back the kink or sell the kink
