MOrning BKG,

I am putting faith in my new found knowledge from your post last night.

I got some PA approaching the 35 crossover + 35pips on the EJ and the EU.

There are some support lines 30 pips or so below my 'short in', so we'll see what happens!

Good morning to you but I just want to clarify that EO is the one who told me and the thread about the 35 35 trade. I just started using it and it seems to be working for me. I take no credit for coming up with that trade......

It's part of the foundation of this system. Unfortunately, too may people have overlooked it. I've said it many times before as well. Ask MACC, he uses it as well.

I'm good brother! Busy at the office.

Glad it's working out. It's a key to this method.

HOw should one use it if the 35 pip in point is just 20 pips away from major support lines?

Is it a case of 'just get in' and get those 20 pips?

Lee

ps.... good to see you again EO!

Yes, book some for your 20 pips, then let the PA show you that the S/R is going to hold. If she holds, reverse your position or open a new position in a different account. I do recommend a minimum of 2 accounts.

Prime example of what BKG is referring to can be seen on EJ right now.

Candle that closed through the m15 35 closed at 124.64, less 35 pippers and you have the price of 124.29. When price hits here, she will continue to fall, however, buyers will be down into 124.3x area defending. Next stop on the short bus for EJ will become the m15 200. HOWEVER, if everyone looks at their H4 and H1 on EJ, you will see the strength of sellers.

Notice how price is stalling here at 124.29?

.................. Next stop on the short bus for EJ will become the m15 200............

Can I please ask for some clarification on this point.

Do you expect it to go through the 200, come back for a retest and then continue its southward journey?

And if it does that, its the retest that you are suggesting to get in again?

Got my 10 pippers from my long at 30 on her, I'm covered on the long and I'm covered on my short. Who cares who wins now in my eyes.

Your Long.... did you get that on the retrace?

I was tryping to many damd messages!!!

Despite seeing and asking about it. I missed the profit take and bounce off the 1hr 62 all the way back up. Now in loss!!

Well.... lesson learnt!

No brother, at this point, I'm not sure if she will continue south or not, she didn't clear 35 pips of the closed price yet. It went to the pip and bounced. Plus, the prior m15 candle was a flat close. I had my PO at 30, got filled long, booked 10 and covered at BE on her. I'm just implying that you should watch your 200 for PA if she does continue south. The 200 could provide a bounce, otherwise, we'll see a much lower price, like 123.5x

My long was taken about 15m ago, after the m15 closed flat I entered the Pending Order at 30 with SL at 20. Remember, it had to go past 29 to continue south per the rule. Well, there's 2 ways to play that rule.
