I know its risky but i was losing my nerve. So stretched my luck a bit for a shot at ping pong. Not great winner but am done for today. Best of luck all.

PS: I could imagine the yellow TL on the H4 chart to be a point where to take care of a possible reverse (or break)

..I have no words...

Would have been something like 30 pips...

Hi Whenever,

The price has not actually touched the trendline marked by you. Would you have managed to enter it?

cheers,

Quoting arha
This is my first live trade with the dance, naturally a terrible failure! I entered at the first blue line on the first touch (well almost) of the 10MA. I moved my stoploss far too aggressively and got stopped out at -5 pips. Of course the trade went on to do +26 in my direction, which would have had me done for the day. At least I know my entry was good, just my SL management needing some work. Oh well, next!

Arha here is my limited experience for whatever its worth:
1. I keep Sl fixed and get out fast at 15-20 pips positive or at first sign of trouble.
2. If you insist on trailing it, you can try method given in manual. Anything more agressive will hurt you.
3. Best strategy i think is used by kostas where he leaves the initial sl where it is but takes quick profit on half position and lets other half run. Am still trying to learn it

Hi KK007,

well, even zooming in as much as I can I do not see a big distance between the High of the candle and the TL.
How much 1,2 pips ?

If I would trade the TL, I think for me that would be near enough to jump on the Trade risking a small SL, expecially if I would have seen a price stop / rejection on M5.

But I cannot tell you exactly, I should have been following all the music in that moment.

Anyway it may be considered an interesting evaluation for an exit point for the long...

Just studying..

I was just curious about the triggering point in your trading method. Nothing being harsh, but if an actual touch is needed in your touch trading method, 1-2 pip distance will be a problem for trade triggering. Nothing negative: sometimes you are able to catch these types of setups, but sometimes you may miss them by 1-2 pips.

cheers,

Yes, I fully understand and respect your point of view: if a rule is a rule, it should be it at the pip exactly.

In my own way of trading I would anyway "consider" the relationship between: "How many pips am I ready to lose for this trade ?" and " How many pips would I lose if I do not jump in on time ? "

I see it as a Risk / Reward game and I must admit to have more than once have entered a trade even too early (or a bit too late), leaving some pips on the table, or risking a few pips more, just not to lose the train.
(which I also did more than once)

If a looooot of people would think the same as me, entering even a bit too early, it could mean to reverse even 1 or 2 pips before the real touch.

(moreover, as we all know, Candels and therefore TL are different from broker to broker...)

Good question KK. Was just wondering if you actually trade dance or are just lurking around like a ghost ?

I have no words again

Today who played "Ping Pong" between the two TL on H4 has got something about 135 pips on the way down and now it goes up again (at this moment for about other 10 pips)...

And this time the TL was touched too...

Sorry, I know this is not "the Dance", but at least the second bounce (from the lower support H4 TL) is also at a RN and the P/A on M15 is a double bottom (nearly at the pip).

So it is not a Dance Rule, but I will indeed keep an eye on that TL for my exits (and entries if there is a confluence with other Dance signals)

You are right, excuse me.

I checked again and found out that was an older TL marked on H1 (below), which actually would also not be anymore correct, but had not been tested yet again.
Only I had switched the chart on H4.

Anyway interesting, isn't it ?

Thank you for your words.

Better to keep tracking only the Dance signals...

Love that one!!! That's what i hate about trend-lines. They are too subjective for my taste. Give same chart to 10 traders and you have 10 trend lines. Now, price has to bounce from somewhere!! Maybe that's what "trading in the zone" refers to. Random rewards will keep monkeys hooked

And this why i like Dance- its objective. 10EMA cant be different for different traders i guess.

Anyway TODAY was the first day of dance when i exactly reached my target- 40 pips and STOPPED. Earlier i would reach 50 , feel overconfident and lose 30 Today i feel great because i made +18, +15 and then when last trade came 7 pips in the money i had the discipline to take 7 pips and shut down my trading platform! Thanks Kostas for teaching that. I maybe dumb but am learning

Note: KK you an appointed devils advocate here? No worries we need them to get right perceptive.Admire your posts.

Great, Well done Survivor.
40 is really good !

Note: TL is for me the last 2 swing low or last 2 swing high, which is actually also objective, but they should be just deleted and re-drawn when expired
(anyway as you correctly say, it would be "enough" to consider 3 instead of 2 and so on...making TL subjective as well...)

Great job man. As I said some posts earlier, GREED is one that you should fight most of the time. Keep doing it over and over and at some point you will be delighted to achieve your daily target and not feel bad about missing a +200p move. On the positive side, as you observed, by stopping there you avoid giving it back which happens a lot actually. It's like the market knows you have won 40pips and decides to take it back and some times get more than 40 back.....

I agree.. when i started forex, i read about how banks trade and that they use the MOVING AVERAGES, the DAILY PIVOTS and THE DAILYMEDIANS, on another forum.

and i have noticed that the pivots and medians are respected along with the ma's. Thats why i have the daily pivots and medians too on my charts, they sometimes help me closing the trade. (as a beginner i dont really know when to exit the trade).

I feel like the trade will continue going my way.... and the very next candle is the opposite one so i stay in and then i realise that i've been stopped out.

Any suggestions for closing the trade? Im still learning, I have tried using M5 but for exit but in some cases i get out of the trade too early, if i exit looking at the M5.

This was my second and final trade for the night, also a failure. Can anyone tell me what was wrong with this entry. The 35/50 are parallel and on a good angle, the 10 is on a good angle and was not turning around at first touch. The trade had moved more than 15 points up before the fast one bar pullback. It seems like other people in the thread passed on this one, so what did I miss? As you can see on the 1hr chart it just kept dropping after I entered.

I think you'll find the others passed on that one because it only took one candle to reach the 10, they look for 2 candles I think, otherwise it shows heavy momentum downwards.
