Hope it works out, I am not seeing anything I want to get into at the moment...seems like things are still quite a mess...

I have to say, it has been awhile since I have seen things this messy out here, no real consistent direction on anything right now...hmmm might be one of those no trade weeks...up one day and down the next...

Hey there!

This is my first post here, as you can see in my attached chart, i follow Hector's strategy, but in accordance with his new course.

Anyway, what i see scrolling through my charts, is EUR/AUD possible short opportunity at the top boundary of the trend channel.

A question for someone who is using his method for a while:
In this example, which one is the setup, and which one is the trigger chart?

Setup: H4 Trigger: H1 ? or Setup: H1 Trigger: M15 ?
He mentions in his course not to zoom in more than the trigger chart at swing...
I actually placed a short at 1.4686 yesterday when BPC formed on the 15M TF i got half of the trades out at 1.4633 and placed stop to BE so far it is now a risk-free trade

HI Yemionline,

I usually have anywhere from 2 to 3 charts open of the pair I am trading, most of the time 2 are open, I have the setup and trigger, and at times I will zoom in to a TF smaller than the trigger and look at the micropatterns too sometimes the smaller time frames can give you heads up as to when it might be ready for an entry, the reversal formations show up on them too, and as long as you have your larger time frame charts and you know where your tragets are going to be the smaller time frames can at times give you a better entry but not always.

Good Job!! The risk free trades are the ones we are looking for, bank some pips move to BE and your home free...then let the trend run its magic...

Yeh there no sense jumping in just to be in, wait for the markets to get back to normal and take the easy trades, no reason to make this harder and riskier than it has to be.

Yesterday i was looking for a short entry on the EURAUD, but price consolidated at the upper end of the trend channel, so i waited for a better setup.

At the evening i checked the pair again, and i saw on the daily TF a pinbar formation, at a key level of confluence, so instead of pinpointing down my entry on the sorter TF's, i choose an other strategy, to set my sell stop order few pips below yesterday's candle, because i thought it is a valid setup, and bears can jump back into the trade, starting a whole new swing to the downside.

SL is aggressive, few pips above the mid-level of the candle, what is also above the descending trendline.

Entry: 1.4630
SL: 1.4683
1st TP: 1.4505
2nd TP: 1.4365

SL will be set to BE after my first TP is hit.

Yeah looks interesting, my sound alarm just went off for that pair. Now waiting for a breakout to the upside. In my opinion the first entry may come at night at CET, but definiately looks good.

I dont think we will get an entry today now that the ADR has already been reached, if it does break I dont think it will go far today so patience is key once again...

  • Apr 14, 2010 8:31am Apr 14, 2010 8:31am
Dear NM,


I am convinced that the system will survive over the market’s up and down.
But I encounter the following condition very often.
Looking for BPC, but the “C” goes only a very little of time and range. Therefore, S/L is triggered very often and that really eat up my profit.
How can I overcome this problem?

Thanks

Look at your pullbacks. If you have more 5 bars of pullback then scrap the setup and wait for a new one, if you go through the earlier posts you will see that 5 bar pullback is max for me, and if the PA looks iffy then I will pass on smaller pullbacks, on your charts there was horizontal resistance above the pullback, wait for it to clear that resistance, if there is no resistance then again no more than 5 bars anymore than that and I would scrap it and look for a nother entry.

Also remember that RN's count as S/R.
