Daisygirl,
Here is the trade that I took at the London open on 7/21 that we discussed in the trading room. I entered a couple of pips late, but it still worked out. I entered at the red vertical line and exited at the yellow vertical line. It was off of the 38.2 fib of Friday's range. Note: 1 and 3 are actually equal (double bottom)
Take care,
Dave

Andrew,
From what I understand Harold is looking for any pullback before looking for a 1 2 3. It no longer has to be 50 percent. He is also looking mainly around 00:00 gmt. I hope this info is correct. Harold could give you the definitive answer. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Dave

hi andrew i usded to wait for 50% pillback but rethought it 123's usually happen at the end of a trend so i look for a trend going against daily trend( sometimes its a pullback type trend) and then just look for 123"s on 5 no more 15 minute it just symplifies things i start looking at 00 gmt but if you have to start later thats fine they show up plenty after 00 gmt

Dear Harold,

What can we expect from 1,2 and 3 formation...??
Is it reversal or continuation?

Sorry I left yesterday but thanks for the info. I will try and get into the trading room when I see you are there. I`m in Australia so tend to go to bed around midnight our time (2200gmt).
One more question though, cant remember what profit you go for. Was it a set amount each time?

Hensby,

Harold said his profit target is equal to the amount of pips risked on the trade, which is the distance between point 2 and point 3 plus a pip on each side plus the spread. I hope this is understandable.

Harold,

Thank you for being so kind to not only share your system but followup with us in the chat room to make sure we understand just how easy this is to trade. Having constantly moved thru so many systems which I couldn't work with, I pray this is the one I can stick with. Since yesterday, I've begun live trading with 3 wins. Back testing there are mostly all wins so this stuff works.

Setup, entry, stop loss, take profit, money management, monthly equity growth projections..........its all here for us. Need look no further.....

Thank you again for your kind generosity,

Steve

i am glad you guys a beginning to make some money remember this is not holy grail because everyone defines holy grail as perfect system. to me though a holy grail is something that consistently makes money and takes losses into acct. heres some for you to think about that even if in the course of a month you have say 16 trades and you win 9 out of them thats a +2 in wins a month if you did that over the course of a year trading 3% of acct per trade your return would be 72% where else can you get such a return

That was a good call... I noticed the RSI was just on the 50% mark so good timing with everything. It was a low risk trade as the stop was not that far away too. I must remember that double bottoms/tops also count as a 1,2,3 setup.

Hi Hensby

I was in the trading room around 9.30 to 10.00am Melbourne time this morning (0 GMT time) so if you are available then you may want to check out the trading room. It's great being able to see a live chart being discussed.

regards
Daisygirl
