Who is taking the 10 trade challenge the week of MAY 10, 2020?

During the challenge, you are only to trade the same pair.

Beginners do not get to trade multiple pairs until they have mastered trading one single pair.

GREEN PIPS TO ALL.
Cheers!

No entry on H1, M15 and M5 breakout bars. What does this mean?

Thank you.

No entry on any bar that makes a new High or Low.

Thanks for the reply.
So after I determine the interest zone using H1, if the first M5 bar within the interest zone break the High or Low, the H1 interest zone is invalidated and we wait for the next H1 bar to form to make new interest zone?

Yes, that's it.

Of course if you are already in a trade and you have a shallow Area of Interest, then it is possible that you will have a break that you can do nothing about - and you just have to wait and see if price will again turn in your favour.

Hello TooSlow and thank you for sharing.
I'm taking the 10 trades challenge this week. I'm trading from Rome (GMT +1) and chose EURUSD pair.

I stood in front of the pc at 9.30 (my time zone): just the time to setup today Open and Low lines and I noticed that an entry might have been set up a few minutes before. Waiting for the next chance I take this opportunity for a little "backtest" on this entry.

Area of Interest (between yellow lines): 1.08320 (open) -> 1.08243 (low)
BUY Entry at: 1.08327 (ask price), 9.15 candle
SL hit at Low (-8.7 pips), 10.15 candle
Unfortunately price didn't hit 5 pips from my ask price 1.08377 (it started retrace at 1.08376!) so I didn't move SL to BE+1. It would have been a bad SL for just 0.1 pips. Is my reasoning right?? Or did I have to count the 5 pips starting from the open level (in this case 1.08320) instead of my ask price? In this case, I would have reached 5 pips first and secured the trade.


Then I sat and watched breakouts (today and friday lows), set new low lines and carefully prepared for the first trade.


1st trade

Area of Interest (between yellow lines): 1.08173 (open) -> 1.08083 (low)
BUY Entry at: 1.08180 (ask price), 11.15 candle
SL hit at BE+1 (+1 pip), 12.15 candle
I follow the trade until it reached 5 pips so i moved SL to BE+1 (1.08190). Then I had to leave my station for a while and I haven't seen that price rose up till 10 pips... it could've been easily a BE+5 SL if I had monitored the full trade.


Now I'm waiting for the next setup. Thank you for attention.

In a scenario where a short is triggered, and price went negative back into interest zone, and new H1 bar opens higher, we readjust the bottom line upwards making interest zone smaller, do we short again?

I have a habit, may be bad habit to check different system /different strategy :-). This way when I leave that system cant remember. From my experience I can say this concept is good and it can bring very good result. Anyway thanks for noticing.

That's a judgement call for each individual trader. Personally, yes, I would but others won't. I have no solid stats as to which strategy may be better than the other.

2nd trade

Area of Interest (between yellow lines): 1.08173 (open) -> 1.08084 (low)
BUY Entry at: 1.08182 (ask price), 13.45 candle (white circle)
SL hit at BE+1 (+1 pip), 14.00 candle
This could be a nice swing but price fast retraced to hit my advanced SL at BE+1.


3rd trade

Area of Interest (between yellow lines): 1.08144 (open) -> 1.08023 (low)
BUY Entry at: 1.08152 (ask price), 17.45 candle (white circle)
SL hit at Low (-12 pips), 22.45 candle
Price didn't hit 5 pips so I let the trade open without moving SL. Price came to BE several times (giving me signs of trend change) but I intentionally didn't close the order because I wanted to strictly follow the exit rules. Bad idea.

BUY Entry at: 1.08081 (ask price), 20.45 candle (white circle)
SL hit at BE+1 (+1 pip), 22.30 candle
Almost hit 10 pips but price retraced to SL BE+1.


End of 1st challenge trading day
Balance: - 9 pips. System seems pretty solid, at least as long as rule 0 ("use common sense") is kept in mind... see my bad fault in 3rd trade. The trade management strategy seems a bit conservative: the result is that most trades seem to end with a BE +1. I will continue to practice tomorrow.

Do you mean tpl? I am training to read the levels independently, but I have another open graph with the tpl in which I do periodic checks of area of interest.
Also I take screenshots and analyze the trade only after a few hours (during a break from work), so in the meantime the levels of the tpl could have changed and make the trade illegible.

Price never reached +5 pips so i couldn't secure the trade. The price was close to a showy upward trendline so it was a risky trade that probably, out of the challenge, I would not have taken. As per the rules, however, I avoided adding further reasoning to the system and I strictly followed the rules. The price unfortunately has touched the trendline and has risen to the top breaking various levels and hitting the SL at high. The context of the trade remains important, I do not think it is possible to apply the rules literally and a degree of elasticity must be maintained to avoid these situations. This brings me to rule 5: "There is always another chance or trade".

#10tradeschallenge #EURUSD GMT+1

Several breakouts during the noon made me away from trade for the rest of the day: no possible setups except for a single 5min candle around 16.00 which has opened just inside the area for a few seconds. It was too close to the High Open and I didn't trust it... but it would have turned into a good trade.

End of 2nd challenge trading day
Balance: - 16 pips. System is not about "entry signal", it's all about context and trade management. I begin to understand it and I'm fascinated by both the simplicity and the depth of the system. Signals are almost always clear and easy to read: the trader have to avoid freight trains and be wise when it's time to take profit. Need more practice.

Stick with it, I have a feeling you'll get there.
