{quote} Yes, it included everything you quoted. While we compare 20% of a small account we got dissatisfied however in long run with compounding it does miracle. I am trying to 1-2% per day and stop trading after that.

{quote} Well summarized. Been following your thread and seen the setups, they are good. I prefer support/resistance and your method does just that in a different manner. Good luck and wish you lots of pips. @imifx : We have all been through this @ some point. Some take longer to mend their ways some learn quick. But better late than never buddy.. mend the rules. 1800% is damn good but then blowing it off is just not sensible trading. Prepare yourself mentally and you will never lose the longer battle.
Exactly, It's not sensible. I am being transparent so all new traders and even experienced traders remind the fact that high leavrage and overtrading is a killer.

Last week gold trading was so easy with ITB method and with small risk I took my account to 130%. This is not first time I am doing it however the real game is Managing the risk.
If you believe in yourself anything is possible !!

guys post your h4 engulfs everyday. h4 will do as it is a medium term view good for intraday trading. the smallest of all the htf.
by posting h4 engulfs we know which way the direction flow will be for the next trade.
if you have study this thread deligently, everyone has the same knowledge, we see the same thing.

trade entry is in the lower time frames. how low should it be?
who knows? h1 all the way down to m1. as long as you are comfortable with it.
each one is different. each has his own entry strategy.

but the crux of the matter is trade management.
if you manage your trade well, it also means that you are managing your risk.
every one can say, have the same entry,
how do you decide to end the trade? TP or trade exit and SL or cut loss, or no SL.
makes a big difference whether the trade turns out to be profit or loss.

I see, read and will forget easily.
only when you involve the act of doing by posting,
your understanding will increase in time to come.
the more you do your homework and post, the more you will remember your mistakes
and impress onto your mind what to do, what not to do in future.

if you are afraid to make mistakes and prefer the easy way out
by watching only as if you have super memory.
well, it won't stick.
you have to come face to face with your fear and face it head on
only then can you see improvement in your trading journey.

Hi Inthebox,

I'll give it a go.

For the moment, at least, I'm going to stick to the two Markets it works best for me.

the whole concept is that price moves from one level to the next level,
from one engulf to the opposite engulf. from bullish engulf to bearish engulf as target.
if you see and start from h4 bearish engulf, it will end at h4 bullish engulf
if you see and start from m15 bullish engulf, it will end at m15 bearish engulf.
it happens in every time frames from mn all the way down to m1.
market is fractal and it will be easier and faster for lower time frames to reach its target than higher time frames ones.
mn, w1, d1, h4 engulf shows you the helicopter view and presents to you the bigger picture road map with the direction bias.
the smaller time frames engulf h1 to m1 present to you the obstacles or road blocks that can prevent price from reaching the higher time frames target.
it is also your entry time frames.
only when you see the smaller time frames engulf broken and cleared, then price will look to go to a higher time frame engulf target.

i am using the image from post 1.
it is the same thing as supply demand or ICT order block.
i use the word engulf because it existed and known before the latter two.
Implication of engulf fail. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...3#post14590243
Engulf fail followed by an engulf entry provide a lower risk trade. https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...1#post14591101

hi ITB thanks for the thread you work and patience it’s fantastic so thank you so much firstly!

are my zones along the right track? 4 hour zone indicate a upwards bias to the engulf, then on the LTF wait potentially enter on the engulf below.

again, sorry if I’m way off, just some clarity and pointers I think would help me greatly, I feel I can grasp this with some feedback!

also, to the left of the LTF is a failed engulf so makes the entry more low risk?

on h4 in the vicinity of current market price, mark something like 2 engulfs below and 2 engulfs above.
if you are day trading, there is no need to have too many engulfs drawn.
the 2 engulfs above are the targets.
there was already a m30 buy set up.
target can be tp1 at m30 bearish engulf, tp2 at h4 bearish engulf.

ok great than you so much!

sorry if my terminology is wrong but I’ll explain what I mean by the below.

failed engulf making the new engulf above price action low risk for a short entry, and the target would be below?

there are 2 options for m30:
1.wait for retracement to E for entry after FE.
2. price closed below FE, entry upon retracement to FE.
if price bounce up from T to E, another entry.
note that there are 2 bullish E 1&2.
they are near to each other, price will often go to the lower one.
