Hi Divergence,

I have been following your thread since about the 100th post; I have finally found a system that has helped me understand the market movement. I have been a forex-factory member for a few years, but have not posted any comments, instead I have just been observing and trying to learn, unfortunately that has rendered me a junior member still and I am unable to PM you. It would be greatly appreciated if you could include me when you send out the links.

Thank you for all the help and education.
I will try to contribute more in the future.

This trade worked out, BUT acording to the rules I guess it would be too late in the session and there was consolidation before the trade.
Am I missing anything else in my analysis.

Thanks
Mike

Chaps,
the trigger bar in the trend trade, is there a minimum size to the bar? If the trigger bar is huge do we wait for the next trade? How do we know when to ignore the trigger bar?

cheers,

Last one, not going back to the well again.....
The set up looked good to me, with a tight SL.

Hi,

isn't the close of your trigger bare more than 2.4 pips away from the 10SMA? Hmmm....

I think the trade is not according to div's rules...though looks very nice.

Div, correct me is this is wrong.

In a long trade, if the Trigger bar opens above the 10 SMA, then the low of the trigger bar can not be more than 2.4 pips.

But if the Trigger bar opens below the 10 SMA and passes thru it and closes above, the 2.4 pips does not come in play.
