I took the 3rd sister on cable (zoomed in on the chart - three little sisters not really visible - go and look on your chart). Only for 20 pips profit because it was just before the news release and I don't really want to be in trade during that period.

My two trades today:

1) Thought I saw an elipse forming, plus it qualified for another pattern I've been including in my repertoire. But exited early (more or less BE) when price formed a higher high, which nullified my second pattern. My original TP was hit. Hmmph! It's a great set up when it qualifies for two high-probability patterns, but what happens when ONE of those patterns become invalidated mid-trade? Do you exit the trade? Or do you hang on, since the second pattern is still valid? I guess in this case, I should have hung on.

2) Three lower highs after the news. Exited early when price stalled and I realized that my entry was after the price had ALREADY traveled more than 20 pips of that wave. Good thing I took profit early!

Hi,
Firstly thanks to Phil and Golfer for this simple system, its ideal for me. I made my first trade today however it made a loss of 8pips, but I think I know why. I think the trend was coming to its end as it had trended for 180pips. The SmaAngle was over .4. I'm not sure if that is significant? I've attached a chart to show my trade.

Also I was hoping to be added to the Skype chat my id is markmm75.

Thanks

Mark

Big bearish outside bar on E/U
The open was above the 21 EMA but I still consider it as a good entry.

Hi Mark

Yes, your entry was way too late in this specific move. There were three possible entries - the other entries were too close to the daily pivot lines. I wouldn't have taken any of those.

That move showed nice market rhythm - that is what you should be looking for.

See more comments on your charts.

I don't think the Skype chat is active any more - maybe someone else can comment.

Hi Ph

I didn't follow the markets after my three little sister's trade - so I don't know what has happened, I just put some comment on what I've seen on your chart. I switched off my computer because I was satisfied with my 20pips. It would be very interesting to look afterwards what has happened.

I hope your trade did work out - I wouldn't have entered, the triple bottom would have kept me out.

See the comments on the chart.

Hi Golfer,

I just took profits above my TP after a very quick drop on the second swing (yes I got lucky on this one). I guess prices will bounce or fall now, but I'm not risking my gains for 3 more potential pips. Earned 1.13 x the risk.

Great - I am glad you got some pips because I was worried.

Did anyone catch the 3rd sister off the 50MA. I hope so. I saw it dip down after the second sister and thought that this could be a good trade setting up... maybe a 3rd sister that would bounce off the 50 MA. I came back to my computer maybe 45 min later and there it was. If you look on phillip 4hr method you will see that the green dotted line is approx the 21 MA. This was the the beginning of what will probably be TC on the 4 hour method. When things set up like this, I will divide my lots into 3s with one TP at 10 pips, set the second at 10-20 pips depending on candles, and let the 3rd one run.

Lately I don't really have time to trade - just too busy with my full-time job.

Two trades on EURO combined with another system I am using (because it was late in the day - I was able to catch it). I've entered using the three little sisters - the same setup as posted by Morelands. The first trade for 12pips (the third sister)and the second trade for 10pips (the fourth sister).

Great analysis - sometimes one can ignore some of the rules but just be very careful. I do the same.
