now the market is against the trader.
he can either exit with loss when there is a test of ef sell or
exit when there is a candle closing below the m30 eg buy.
which will also be around 20 pips.
he chose the latter.
edit: just clear up. it is m30 eg buy, so will be a m30 candle close.

My trade of today:

This is all u need to be a pro trader, nothing else needed.( on a daily basis)


Greed will say... hey u left lot of pips on the table, fear could say... ur stop loss too tight. Greed again, u took profit on a fix place, u could wait for engulf, or rejection or or or bla bla, the thing is for me this is enough for daily target based on % porcentage % . Period.

This engulf approach has helped me a lot to filter trades and finetune my view.

Cheers ITB.

so today the last trader made a loss.
however he was nonchalant about the whole thing. why?
the most important thing is that he traded according to the rules.
he has the conviction that it is just a temporary set back but will ultimately be successful in the longer medium term.
i believe so as every one can see the success rate from asia to europe sessions today.

i hope that traders can already form some views about this method.
of course it is very dependent on the "right" pair that has been "picked"
as gbpusd had already been ranging for the longest time.
looks like it could break to the downside.

HI,
EURUSD
in case we will get retracement from here would you look at this EF (first arrow from the top) or in this case this EF doesnt matter?

many traders differ on the requirements for engulfing. mine is as follows for the indicator. {image}
Hi Inthebox,

Nice to see you keep going and with success using this system.

After the explanation about engukfing I take it as you dont look for multiple candles to engulf like you previously did, correct?

Thanks
Kind Regards

that was simplified for the indicator.
post 1 rule still stands.
you have 2 candles engulf.
you also have multiple ones.

example why it is so.
