Because of the trade was during the night here in Ukraine, and I was sleeping - the TP order was for the all 100%.... And - as I stated before - it was just like a "learning" trade... of course with real money, but with very low load... So...

...it was just for me to training better levels feeling.

But I think the original concept (first 10-50 pages) of systen II is still good for traders.... once we have seen the initial swing of the centrifugal price moving - then we have a good chance to trade it...
Yes this is what I was getting at. I never did well simming the FCR so I gave up on it.

My idea is that by using system III for context then some System II setups look more attractive than others. That's it.

For example you miss a long off a support level on 30min. Drop to 5min and enter on a system II breakout. That sort of thing.

I close the trade. I was shooting for 55 but at this point I rather bank some profits and wait to see if we have any other level to play with.
Do you scale out or are you always all in / all out?

Sometimes I want to bank profits but I'm not sure the move is over so I take off half.

For example you miss a long off a support level on 30min. Drop to 5min and enter on a system II breakout. That sort of thing.
System II is a forward type of trading. You have initial impulse wave followed by a pullback and then you trade the continuation of the wave only if breaks the top/bottom part. System III is a contrarian trade. Normally you trade against the levels. You can apply system II on System III only if it breaks the level and then pulls back against that level..

Although you can trade both at the same time , I will stick to just one.
