LG, this is what I saw your last chart as. Two candles waiting for a possible third for a short run. Am I on the right track?

I love the way LG and everyone else has explained this type of trading. It is easy to understand with no emotion attached to when and how to get out of the trade. I so very much appreciate it because I still get nervous just playing on the demo account, wanting to do good before going live. Thank You Everyone. :o) I will be watching and joining in on the fun!

I have tried to recreate that 3 Tap trade. A TL can be drawn connecting the 3 candles on the H4 chart....a set-up. The trigger came on the next candle when PA headed in the desired direction.

But look what happens if you move the 1st tap away from that hammer candle and place it on the next candle...a 3 Tap trade. Some traders may have see that setup that way and not the way I saw it. No matter...look at the trigger candle for either interpretation..that was a 100+ pip move.

I hope this helps.
========================

Thank you LawGirl, much appreciated. I just needed confirmation of "moving" that TL.
Best wishes.

Hello everyone! I have been following this thread for a few weeks now and trying out this method. I start to get the hang of it and I like it. I have a question though.

Since trading is a game of probabilities, how do you make profit trading this way?

Would this method be profitable because you would make more successful trades than losing ones or because your RRR (risk to reward ratio) would be higher than 1:1 so even if you lose more than you win, you can still come out profitable?

My problem I am trying to fix trading this method is...
Hi,
this is just a suggestion forgot everything about RR.
In my opinion you need RR only if your strategies is a crap.
TP and SL have to be set on support and resistance level. Before you enter in trade you have to know or guess how the price will move and not set TP and SL with random number like 20-30 pips that mean nothing.

If you want you can take a look at this link it's interesting

helo law girl,

First I would like to thank you.I have a question regarding trade management. I enter my trades based on 4 hr.After entering a trade how do you manage it? The reason why i ask this is when I enter a trade the trade goes in my direction. It goes for 50+ pips. The trade may have a potential for 150 pips but there may be a 1 hr support which is quite strong so I wil move my stop loss to BE(break even). The price will come to SL and hit it and then go in my direction. I know this is a usual story for traders. But i want to know how you manage it. the risk reward ratio, sl and when do you move stop loss to break even. To make myself clear I wil say an example. Lets say i entered a trade from a point 100 with Stop loss around 50 and target around 250 which is a 1:3 R:R ratio. my trade will go till 160 (which is 60 pips). then i will move my stop loss to Break even(BE) or +1 because it may be a 1 hr resistance there(We wont know when price reverse). It willcome down and hit that SL and go to 250 pips.Can you provide my some suggestion on this. Please say if I am doing it in a correct way. thanks a lot for your advice.

Good read, but thats purely based on one persons judgement. TBH u may as well not bother trading if you adhere to all in that list.

I think break outs are best confirmed after the candle has closed or better still wait for pull backs to the former resistance/support and then take the trade

Great trade. The failure of good UK data to push it up turn it the other way. 1.5950 is my target.
