The System III (Oh no!)

Hi Dim, what was your criteria for going short?

Hi!

Look at chart... and look there for white arrows.

They show (at least for me lol) good forming level. This is the main reason why I took short at the bounce off the level.

Dim, by any chance do you look at the Dow or SP500 for confirmation before you pull the triggr? I am trying to figure out the intermarket relationship without much luck. Anyway 4H pinbar influenced me to go long right above the 30M fractal at almost the same time you shorted. Cheers/Kev

One day I did start to do everything as simple as it could be....

What I do (of course I am not master! I am still learning!!!) - I just look at E/U currency pair, Look at one chosed TF (3o min this time), look for levels (areas of Supply and Demand, or areas of Resistance and Support), and take my trades based on these observations. What helps me is - of course MM. Why - because I try to keep my losses in the minimum, so even one next win trade could return me about 2-3 previous losses....

Feb, our Master, our Teacher, told us one day -

Make your life easy!

"If the market closes above/below this level, then I'll be short/long.
My stop-loss will be at (x) level , which is the last swing high/low and my level of risk is acceptable. If not, then I will adjust my load . After x amount of pips, I will trail my stop to B/E(plus the landlord's fee) and I will try to shoot for anything greater than my initial risk"

"If I get stopped/bail out etc, then I'll be looking at the other way (long/short). My stop-loss will be at (x) level , which is the last swing high/low and my level of risk is acceptable. If not, then I will adjust my load . After x amount of pips, I will trail my stop to B/E(plus the landlord's fee) and I will try to shoot for anything greater than my initial risk"

ALL IN ONE CHART.


Hope - it helps!
i got lot to learn....almost finishing up the Feb's System I thread. great read. thx guys. rgds/Kev

Morning, traders!

Have a short trade now.

Possible targets are - two shadows at the chart. 1 or 2... will look closely at price behavior at those areas.

Target 2 is reached. Good day for me.

Oh! Morning, Feb!!!!!

I am so glad to see you! Hope - you are OK. I have to say you "THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO TRADE THE MARKET" every day.

Honestly - you helped me so much in my trading... I am still learning - but - I know now what I am doing.
stopped -30 pips so back to page one I think
Allan
I would like to wait for the bouncing (if it would be) off the level 3869 for short trade.... or breaking and then pullback for long trade.

Re-reading is a good thing... But - just remember - we all have losses from time to time... You have to know at least for yourself how you validate your entery point, and where is logical to place your SL.



Just look back for my posts - and you will see - how many losses I did have... But - I still keep trading!
thanks for that I did have a chance to break even but thought it would head back ... like it is now lol will have a look at the us open or maybe if it breaks the 1.3800

my thanks to Feb also for the thread and guidance
now it looks like I will wait for a bounce off 3770 area level...
