(All seniors / Sho, pls correct me if I'm wrong)

For me, I adopt Sho's momentum trading in aggressive way, i.e I won't wait for the close of confirmation bar usually. I got the insight from Sho's very early posts in this 2nd active thread that "When you get in, I'm out".
Sho is really pro to play aggressive entry but still can keep the max profit from every trade. That's the point I really need to impove.

Having said that, you can still go will Sho's conservative approach by waiting the completion of signal bar. You may find a lot of good example trading here. It all depends on your personality.

What we are trading is the momentum of current bars. for both aggressive and conservative approach.

For sharing.

When trading this method, do you always wait for the 15 minute candle to close before entry?

Thanks City...

I have been trying this method for a few weeks, and am getting mixed results with waiting for the bar to finish, sometimes I miss the move by waiting, other times I am glad I waited due to a retrace.

I think momentum is the key as Sho says!

I am getting better. Will post up some trades when I am more consistant...I keep making pips then giving them back, usually due to being impatient and breaking the rules haha! Need to stop doing that!

Yesterday is the first day I trade EJ and was good.

Today, I tried again. It is really fast and I keep lossing with very tight stop loss.

Finally, I manage to win three trades on 20 pips each. I have to be a thief. Only get into the trade when it is on move and must be out when it failed to move ahead.

I lossed -120 pips this morning before I work out a little bit how Eric does. Now, I can it back to -70pips.

Tang,

Asia session, no much force to move the price, unless you really find a good setup, then go, Also, even you play within this session, just keep lower RR. dont expect too much.

Happy trading.
City

Hello again. This was my first day using what i have see in this thread and PA. And i close in 0 jajaj. I honestly think that it was very good(maybe lucky).

Although i have a question. The pivots that we can see in your charts( when you refer to them as weekly, daily pivot) are just the pivot(high+close+low/3) or all the s1,s2,s3,r1,r2,r3 we can get from them?.

in the next days im gonna upload some of my trading chart's for you to tell me if im seeing the right setup, because im not sure but some of the trades went way against me before i could put the BE. Not a lot of post's in this thread today.. hoping you got some good trades today,Cya!

GU keeps on testing the 1.445/7 resistance level (since the week beginning). Watch out, if you are looking for more for 1 trade, it could be a good one.

Edit, haha the room is suddenly 20 people. Morning all, happy trading

Eric:

Amazing entries.

I made a lot of trades with bad quality. I don't know when I can reach your level.

Do you watch other timeframes for making a decision or just stick on M15 timeframe.?

Keep on practice and more screen time, try to learn from the basic of implusive & corrective move, then you will soorer or later get the idea of momentum.

For TF, I just watch M15, screen altogether with M5 & M1 just make me confused.
