Yesterday morning GU made the exact scenario I was describing: 3-3-3. Nevertheless, it didn’t reach the planned area and continued its uptrend.

During the day another bullish impulse was formed with each wave shorter than previous one, as shown at 5min chart. Possibly 1.524 area is the local peak. In any way price is going lower, but the question is open if it’s a correction move with the continuation of uprising, or a bearish impulse. Lets turn to the charts with higher TFs.

During the first half of March price action at GU has formed 3-wave...
Nice blog I see it is relatively new and started a couple of months ago. As a newcomer, I don't know my Elliot Wave Analysis, so I have bookmarked your blog and hopefully get some insight into this type of analysis.

You MUST use a SL if you are going to survive in this game. Letting bad trades run in the hope they will turn is a recipe for disaster. You can have more losing trades as a % but still be profitable overall. At least it sounds like you're learning from your mistakes.
this is a gross generalisation of the concept. it will wipe out any1 with 0 MM. i used to use no sl as my strategy. it was wonderful. 83wins 0 loss(highest ever UNREALIZED drawdown was 12% of acct). problem is if im against the market it takes as long as 12-16hrs to find my breakeven or profit which was burning me out physically so now i do take losses and sadly i am unprofitable cos i am taking losses but hey at least im not tired now(and im starting to have a life). just gota refine my entries.

just take yesterday's 130pip move up in G/U i was in the wrong direction(again) went out at breakeven during the 1bar retrace on the 1hr back to 10EMA+PP on the 1hrTF.

yes, i hope survive for try again and do diferent. anyway let see what happen, hope go back soon...

Let's hope it does not get passed the previous peak set on March 17th (15382) otherwise we could see even more upside! I think the majority of people don't think it will, but expect the unexpected!

Did you try with to move the stop loss a bit further away? This would let some space for your trades to breath but you would still have a safety net if for instance you lose your internet connection or have to leave for whatever reason.

Mal I am a bit uneasy on holding longs on cable today, except when scalping, whats your view point today, something crazy is cooking here.
look at 4 hour chart with about 1 week on screen .... draw tl down off top

we just broke that in London , we may do a retest but doubt it.

As long as 1.5160 holds we should see 1.5300 this session

Thanks Carlos and a good pipping day to you too! Easter weekend starts tomorrow so I hope the Easter bunny has bought me some lovely eggs... what's that all about! Trust the Germans to bring in the bunny tradition, although the Australians aren't so keen on their bunnies, or rather pests!

I keep checking our bunny's hutch every morning (we have a bunny for the kids) and get disappointed when I can't find those multi-coloured eggs to have for my breakfast. Maybe I should check inside the rabbit rather than the hutch

Move it further away, then a little bit more, a go on one more time, it will turn, I'll move it away again...

Another recipe for disaster. One should only move the SL to lock in profit. Just my 2 cents.

Sorry probably I was not clear. What I meant is that if your trades give you more losses than profits since you started using SL, then my understanding is that you are setting your SL too tight. Set it further away to avoid this particular problem.

Otherwise I agree with you bbakker.
