As long as the signal remains blue (short), you are ok.
At beginning of trends, pullbacks to SMA-96 and even beyond are normal things, that's why you have to split your entry in 3 and enter at waves zero (like you and I did) and then wait waves one and two like explained in post #276

I missed the wave 1 because I wanted to see SRSI-168 (5m) to be at, or over, 95 but it didn't happen and the the price suddenly fall.

I think that we need to be careful, the two waves are too near, personally I will wait before entering again, too much noise right now thanks to the Fed...

Edit:
As I thought, I had to close that position, price wants to stay over sma and I don't want to keep it overnight.
For the first entry, I will wait bull trend signal to exit.

Hey BT- I've been following now for a little bit of time but I can see so much potential in your strategy. I was doing some testing and I noticed something. Along with your wave theory on the HV.. There is a clear 'S' pattern on each trend change. The main theory behind is is that before a proper trend reversal there are 4 touch points--- 2 MA touches on both sides of the MA as seen in the screenshots. It's inverses when going from uptrend to downtrend vs down to up and you enter the trade on the 4th touch. We are in the middle of one now so I will test this theory. But check out the screenshots. I'd love to know what you think.

Hi dorkstorm,

Thanks for your enthusiasm and your research.

I see two scenarios:

1. You want to use those S patterns to have a confirmation of trend change, and trade only after that, then, you are creating a derivative system from this original one, and I won't support or encourage that simply because I don't want to deviate from my original system.
Understand that for me it's important to stick to the original system and nothing else and this without trying perpetually to improve it with filters or anything that I know by experience won't work.

2. If you use the S patterns to make more accurate and progressive entries like I do with the waves, then for me it's OK, I think that everyone has to find it's own way to be comfortable with its entries and the risk they carry.

Thank you and welcome !

Added a long to lock my profits as we are now at the bottom of the wave, kind of insurance ..., I'm a little bit experimenting here...

Already sold for $16 profit, it was a false rebound and I prefer that.

Well done, congratulations ! As the old saying goes "you can't go broke taking profits"

Next time maybe instead of closing everything, keep a small fraction of the trade in the direction of the signal till the end of it, even if it is 0.01 lot, just to see how it goes, you will see, it's quite difficult but it teaches you patience !

Now that we have made a new low on a closing basis we can draw our trend-line 20-10
