you are trying to put 2 methods into 1 package and it won't work you first have to know the difference between a trend and a counter trend if you dont you will lose all of your money. Start there and once you have figured that out then you will be able to trade accordingly with the trend

I don't know if this has been mentioned before because most of the commentary is related to getting into a trade but one of the best things about this approach is that it keeps you out of trades and as we all know if you lose say 10% you need to make 11% to get back to square.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I got in too. Made it out with +2.3. After analyzing the charts, decided I didn't like that trade so much. Saw a potential 123 reversal about two hours earlier which soured my appetite. Then way too much price manic/depressive fits.

Div. I'm looking EJ @ 115.20 level. That seems to be an area of role reversal over the last 2 weeks. We also have a weekly Central pivot @ 115.07.

Do you give any credence to these numbers?

Thank you!!
Yes, I can see clearly now. Thank you for the great video. Turned out to be a sunny day once I took off the rose colored glasses.

Great times.

Nice thread. Any trading system or style without a cluster of indicators will always get me interested. I try to use as few indicators as possible. They have disappointed me terribly in the past. But this is more of PRICE ACTION. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello,
As mentioned a little while back,
Is there any particular swing zigzag indicator that anyone recommends?
