David 4U,

All I can say is you were thinking what price will do based on a doj, cant say I even know what one is as I use bar charts but looking at PA and its still short.

PA is what we look at... study.. worship... and LOVE.

PA PA PA. higher highs and lower lows etc....

Doji - The Japanese for f*ck all happened!

We don't use such terms here though do we?

Out for +15 after I saw the doji & price moving fast .
JPLO how did you take +29 ? Can u tell pls your entry + exit prices .
FX , can you pls explain why you talked about the FCR #1 and not what I think it's a FCR (#2) ?
May be it's due to the huge down move , so you want to be more cautious with the reversal ?
Tks

i don't fully understand your question.. clear it up for me plz.
but before you that explain.. doji!!!!.. what the hell is that..

Hi FX, when you have a few moments I’d appreciate your views on what I hope isn't a dumbass question.

From time to time for whatever reason I’ll miss an entry. Then sometimes it will retrace past the original entry and then head back and re-break it.

Traditionally I guess we’d look for an entry after the last LL on a short or HH on a long. But, what about re-entering on the break of the original level?

Here’s an example from this morning.

I missed the initial entry, but what about the second bite of the cherry?

The risk is you are potentially walking into a #2 situation and you’d want to play that as if you’d had taken the original entry. On the upside, you’d get more pips than waiting for the LL and an improved RR off the lower SL.

What do you think? Take this or wait for the break of the LL?

Thanks, D.

I prefer to wait for break of LL..

I can not be helpful is you got that kind of mentality mixed with your trading.. bcz I don't know nothing about it..

Only reason I exit was to keep some profit instead of watching PA... trading scared, there was NO reason to exit.

Lh and LL is whats important in a down trend... now sitting on my hands say SHIT.....

FX , my apologies for mentioning Doji .
There are some Davids in this thread ... I am the one
It's just a term used on Japanese candle stick .
http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.p...doji_and_trend
When I look PA I look also at the candlestick .
I look if this is a big or small bar
I look at speed/momentum
In the specific case in my chart I saw PA loosing momentum and the formation of a possible big bearish candle .
I was cautious and exit with 15 pips .
That's all .

Remember what "The Boss" says always:

Many FCR's close to each other usually means ranging period....

Hope it helps...

Hi FOURX,

I have missed your post...

I took my entry based on a RR thing @ 4558.7....

My exit was @ 4587.5 after the FCR' break...

Hey j.

so this trade was not a fcr or 123 method?

thanks

i am really mystified when did you enter long @ 1.4567 and why? i mean there wasnt a defined entry point and it was just your decision or what
p.s. or you probably meant that you shorted it ?
