fxachilies, as I understood your entries was right after the break of the level? what about feb's rule, that we should wait for candle close, when can we ignore the rule and when not?

Sorry guys i was gone for awhile,
this trade is based on system II, which we enter with 2-3 pips cross of the horizontal line (H.H) or (L.L).

Guys

All you do in trading is taking a chance based on possible outcomes. Some people are confused in trading the breakout or the bounce. It's all up to you.

You can be simply a breakout trader. That's fine and profitable.

You can be a contrarian trader. If you have your R:R in check, although looks risky, in reality is not.

Or you can trade both sides of the coin.

Sometimes, the market blasts off a level, leaving you in the dust. That's alright. There will be another bus. Make sure the market show his hands before placing a trade. Some people like to be the first in line to make a move. I do that for scalping and it works but that's another animal. In a slower time frame(5 minutes), sometimes could play against you. If you still wanna go that route, then I advice to have your finger ready for the trigger. Also be prepared for a sudden volatility against your position.

The trick is to minimize risk all the way. Fake outs are impossible to handle. The only way is let the market make his move. Just wait for the bar to close.


Here's a chart of a fake out. Look at the circled area.

Don't dwell too much about this all-so venerable definition of support and resistance on the market has to test x amount of times to be valid blah blah blah crap!.

Although in theory is true, the market will do whatever. I look at a formation called fractals.

Fractals is another generic term that guru's don't get finally into agreement(like many of their stuff). As I am a practical guy, suffice to know that levels (created by fractals) are simply changes on sentiment based on hindsight. Then we use this information as a reference for the future. Looks like V- formations.
Yes the market could test an area many times. Just don't fall into creating a new hidden cult on that.

Check the circled areas on the charts, please.

Thanks

Thank you for advice.

For this discussion, I will not use the more traditional way of drawing S/R ("... has to text x amount of times...").

Please see attached chart where I have drawn 10 red arrows to show where I think are fractals. Could you confirm whether I am correct? If I further apply the condition that the fractal should ba a 'sharp V formation', then probably only arrows 1, 2, 9 & 10 qualify to be called fractal. Is my understanding correct?

Regards.

Everyone,

I see fractals are coming into the mix now & I'll admit I'm not very farmiliar with how they work except for the basic decription I have read, so maybe one more skilled in the use of them can expand on how they can be of benefit. In the meantime I'm trading the System II using only S&R Levels & how PRICE ACTION REACTS around these levels. Nothing more, NO Indicators. Since I discovered FEB & The System II, I have had much more success than I did previously in my trading as this system cuts thru all the BS you typically see with most Systems or Methods & gives the trader a clear, concise no indicators needed approach to trading in the short term.
Having said that I would like to have a clearer understanding how FRACTALS
might be of benefit to the SYSTEM II. Always willing to learn, but am skeptical of adding more to a mix that is already done & works great.

Well 3130 for sure DID NOT HOLD. Took off like a run away train. It paid to heed FEB'S warning to stay out.
