Hello TK and others,

Do you know of a resource where I could learn more about exactly the implecations of the LL and LH's you are talking about. I have went through babypips and others and I also understand the triangle issues but the issue of the LL and LH seems to be difficult for me to grasp in regards to this trading style. Please excuse my ignorance if it is obvious but I have reread the first post several times and do not completely understand this aspect of the price action style. I appreciate all of your time since I know answering questions...

There will undoubtedly be better explanations out there of higher highs, higher lows, lower highs and lower lows, but here's how I use them.

If a ccy pair is making higher highs and higher lows it means that when the bulls are in control they're able to push prices higher than they did on the last swing, and when the bears are in control they're unable to push prices as low as they did previously. This indicates to me that the trend is upwards, in fact it will be clear to see on the chart. I always want to stay on the right side of the trend and trade with current momentum, so if the bulls are pushing prices higher with each swing, then I want to be on their side, as the odds are in favour of them at that moment in time. Once a higher low is broken, and a lower low and lower high are formed, for me I see the bias as changing to negative and then I'm more likely to stick to trading short until the situation changes again.

Reverse the above for lower lows and lower highs. That's a really basic explanation, there will be more detailed stuff out there (just try searching around the net) but that's how I use them.

Hi,

I've noticed that many of you has changed some setups of sma (at the beginning there was two colours but now only green). So how do you guys trade with that? Wasnt it that you take shorts only with the red sma and longs when it is green?

Long trades abowe sma and vs maybe ??

I've followed this thread since beginning and havent seen any changes of that rule.

OK there was a new template at the 1st post
But what are the rules with it?

I missed it feeling the sidewalk was to long.
TK, how do you feel? Is it a good entry for you?
Breakout setting up in sync trumps anything for me. You can trade those breakout lines with no strategy at all and win over 70% of your trades. Backcheck and you will see, it will nearly always go at least 20pips

How did you exit the GU one - when you got 40 pips or on the 804gmt blue candle 40pips??
The sell I see on EJ had a blue reverse on the second candle. Did you sell there or continue for 40+

Just had a TP of 25pips, my attention is elsewhere

Thanks TK. Could you explain a bit more about "Breakout setting up in sync". Maybe I didn't caught what you really mean.

Thanks Pilks.

Then you would not use a trailing stop? Just a fixed stop... After looking again at the chart I see your point on the first trade, I should have passed on that one. The issue on the second is really how to setup a good SL strategy. I am not sure if I should us a trailing stop or not.

Thank for your input.
Personally I don't use trailing stops, but if I did I would only activate it once my trade had moved into profit. Initially (in the case of a short trade) it might be best to put your stop either a couple of pips above the high of the previous candle (the bull candle that was eaten) or if it's close enough, a couple of pips above the previous swing high.

Saying that, fixed stops do have their downfalls - they tend to be in obvious places (like above the previous swing high), and traders in large institutions often go stop hunting, in which case you can be spiked out of a trade, only to see it then go in its original direction.

Just a few thoughts, but yeah, I use fixed stops when entering a trade.

OK this will have to be my final post till much later as I need to focus, I will check back in a minute though to see your answer to this.

What do you guys want in much more detail in the ebook?

So far I have included;

The System and Rules plus what roles Breakouts, Pivot Lines, Price Action, Trading Times, and Elliott Waves have in my decision making


Am I missing anything?
Here is an example of what Pring teaches. Iused a 1hr chart because it's easier to see.

We have a change in trend from up to down on 1 hr chart.

I am sure you have thought about it already, but what is the significance of the purple, black and green lines in the gray zones. I don't quite understand that. This might be better explained in your ebook.

I am finished for i have allot more than the daily target amount of pips. One of my biggest problems is over trading, I am like a dog with five bones, i don't want to lose any of them but i can't put all of them in my mouth at once, so i end up losing them all. I just have to learn that one bone is good enough.

I am itching to get in some more trades but i am fighting it, discipline has to rule. So i am finished for the day ( i am still looking at the screen to see what would been a good entry or not LOL)

One more idea that might be good for the ebook, say you had four different example entries (images) from the text book entry to the worst entry and explain why you would take them and why you wouldn't.

This could help others to stay out of bad trades and allow us to take the best possible trades visually.
