Nice one
The best part of that position, the only draw down was the spread!

It was a cross of the m15 35/50 and reverse trade.

Good morning Dirrall! I hope your have a good start to your day!
Thanks EO.

I'm still just watching and learning at the moment. I'm finding your system fascinating. So much to learn and such a small brain.

I've had lots of help from Pippi and Macc so it's getting easier to understand.

Good luck Davids with your full time trading. Thats the goal for me also.

It's such a simple setup. Just like now, we might see price drive up, but we're going to see a sellers around 7025 and prior PA supports the sellers there as well.

Our system is unique! Find the setups that work best for you, it might be the 35/50 cross and reverse order on the following candle, or set a PO 20-30 pips higher than the closed candle for a reverse order keeping your SL 35-40 pips higher than the price of the candle that closed through the m15 35/50. Maybe it taking positions only off of h1 pins/hammers, or DBHLC/DBLHC candles. There are so many setups it can become mind boggling. Just take your time and find which ones work for you and your personality. Always look left, always know your HTF S/R and find your PA on the m15 with the h1 supporting your position as well.

Tdeu - No worries, the next setup is only a few minutes away.. And always remember, its better to miss a trade than to miss your capital.

One thing I do recommend is keeping a trade journal handy and note trades such as this one where you saw a setup, but didn't take it, and then you can watch the results and see what comes of it. It will just give you additional confidence in the different setups by having a record of which ones gave you what type of results. I always mark up my charts for trades I took, trades I saw but didn't take, and also trades I didn't see until after the fact, as it helps me "train my eye" to be able to spot them from a mile away.

Best of luck with your trading.

For anyone who watches the mistress, keep an eye on this hourly close coming up.

I've heard that PippiNole (resident mistress expert) might be a bit late due to flat tires on his goverment motors vehicles - apparently he exceeded the pip carrying capacity again..
