My first target was 198.98 the second previous low, once it is cleared i moved my tp to third previous low 197.98, since i was babysitting this trade,
its more than enough for me, so i closed it manually.

If you are talking about mint signal, yello means no signal, green means long, red means short.

Thanks HaroldFX for sharing your method!

Question for one and all -- Are we using the ZigZag or the GannZigZag indicator? What settings? (My zigs and zags don't look like forexmad's).

If you go to page 206 - post 3087 CindyXXXX gives a great explanation and illustration. Use the default settings for the retracement fibs. You will have to change the levels on the expansion fibs to the levels shown on Cindy's post. Hope this helps.

pippocket thanks for your reply but i think there is something missing cuz earlier Harold said that one of the advantages of this method that it gave him 2:1 R:R and sometimes better and if you looked at the picture attached for instance this wont be the case cuz the price had retraced to 50 level so your target would be lets say 1.618 and in that case you'd be risking 145 pips to get 90 , also when i read and saw Harold replies when he was explaining it his fibo didn't match with mine, i know it says 1.27 and 1.68 on his pictures but when i drow it , it gave me different levels and i'm not talking about 2 or 3 pips that might be broker difference also i had more questions on earlier post like how much is enough as a SL, like lets say the point 3 that you'll hide your SL behind it is like this case 145 pips would you still take the trade..thats why i keep asking i hope some one will answer me thanks again.

I will try to answer your question, although I am still new to this. Maybe one of the senior members here can comment on my answer. Looks to me like you are only using retracement fibs. We use retracement fibs drawn from point 1 to point 2 to measure the pullback to point 3. Then use expansion fibs drawn from point 1 to point 2 and double click on it to get white circles. Now you can pull the second leg of the fib to point 3. You will have to change the fib expansion levels to 127.2, 161.8, and 200. If you are not sure how to get expansion fibs click on insert at the top, then click fibonacci, then expansion.
I hope this explanation along with Cindy's diagrams will clear this up for you.
The stop loss has to be either above or below point 3, depending on long or short. Sometimes this will be a large stop so I think it is up to the individual trader as to their own risk tolerance. If it is more than you are comfortable with my suggestion would be to pass on that trade. There will always be more trades to take. Also if you read the last week or two, it was suggested by someone here (sorry I can't remember who) to drop down to the 5 min time frame in cases of large stops to get a better entry with a smaller stop.
Sorry I do not recall all the details. Hope this helps.

I think pippockets has said it as clearly as possible and if it's still confusing to you you should come to the trading room and watch a demonstration because sometimes its hard to understand such a visual thing in words...

Also Harold did say he sometimes gets 2:1 R:R but usually it is closer to 1:1 there are techniques you can use like pippocket mentioned using the 5 in chart in conjunction with the 15 min chart to get better r:r...

But the fact is with a high win rate 1:1 is enough

Anyway I suggest if you still have questions to stop postingthem in the forum and come to the trading room where someone can show you what you are asking.

Hi Cementman,

We always try to get at least a 1:1 RR before we tarde. You should also be able to achieve a 60% or better win percentage if you follow the methodology. As long as your losses are 1:1 or less you should be able to make some pips. There's certainly plenty of information available in this thread that you should have a basic understanding of the methodology if you've read it.

I would suggest that you visit the Trading Room if you have additional questions.
