Saw that bad monster red candle coming at me. Bailed out quick at 4193.

Agreed. But keeping loses small doesn't mean to get out early from them and miss the potential runners, and to reentry everytime after bailing out if the market resumes the original direction of our shot.

It's a typical mistake -tell me about it!- to get stressed after 5 losing shots, avoid the next signal and stay looking at the screen like an idiot (which doesn't mean to overtrade inside a range!). Fortunately, hard work and tenacity will heal this.

I think that's a great summary of this strategy.
Good morning Elizo.

I am sure everyone agrees the strategy is easy but getting the mindset right is the hardest, imho. It has taken me over 2 years to be able to think differently (still a lot to learn) and now starting to see the benefits of it, thanks to this thread ! What helped me most was seeing FXA take on the market live and his attitude to losers. That got me thinking and changing!

Good Morning,

Guess what guys... 1/4 still going..

I must have been in a direct contact with the Asians to ping point that drop.. lol

but Mama Forest says.. "life is like a box chocolate, you just never know whatcha gonna get."


if you think there is some kind of a magic to it.. well there is none.

its all trade/risk managment according to following the plan.


i put this on a 30m charts for a visual purpose, thats all.

Brilliant. That's what I want to emulate instead of jumping in and out.

Jazz...
pay close attention as i live play this.. this is mostly for you..

as u all see i got this imaginary perderimend spot for my exit.. now the reason i do not put a hard sl there... bcz i want to see price reaction to the LV.. as to if it breaks it or not.. if does how it does break it.. is just a 30sec spike or it will close a candel above... overall watching of it like a hawk, to get a clue of its attention in a reasonable time table, before i make a decision of bailing out and putting a reentery order..

stay tune..

I am still holding. Now I wouldnt let it pass too much above the turning point at 1.4188. But also want to get out if this, or the next candle doesnt break the low at 1.4175.

Comments appreciated. I am a newbie.

Thank you FX. I will pay attention and not comment too much now (keep my mouth shut). I posted my post before I saw your live explanations.

guys in relation to LV and timetable..

its been 25 min passed since our triggered time.. price is stalling around the LV.. its having a hard time to really break it above/below.. but its not showing much speed at all on each side.. so the next move from you after such stalling time.. is when u see the next spring kinda thing for upward then you give it no mercy and get the hell out.. otherwise stay put for now..

WOW!

Well I do not know for you folks. But this was one of the most valuable lessons I ve had.

"The spring after price stall". This is a diamond.

I was in this short too.
But I did see your post, fx. So, I played it #2G+. Result: -11.
Anyway, I did like its way to make little HH and HL after the breakout.
