Question - for a valid 123 trade, doesn' the SUB need to be the next bar following the point 3 bar?

Ok fine. I thought that was one of Div's rules. If not, that makes it easier.
thanks

it could be, but im not aware of it... also there is an example in post 2921 where it isnt.


there is a sub right now on eu but late in the session and above previous res so not the best looking.

What do you mean by the "above reason?" I don't understand the reason in the above posts.

I took the same one for a winner. Now time to wait for another setup.

So would you consider this a PB to the 1.4500 area and go long off of a bounce from that? Or has the early morning run been to large?

If I keep on track with the trading I might be able to get a matching Delorean.

Can you explain why this wasn't the best trade? Looked good to me and I took it.

it was outside suggested trading times and also above major resistance which could easily have turned into support and continued up, so not the perfect setup.

Looks like we all jumped on the same one. Good trading for all. I am finished for the day. Ray

Anyone consider the recent PB just a PB and now the SUB that just passed as a valid entry back long?

I would rather see price test the 4487 area + or - then bounce long.........BUT...........quote=Rcwso;4558858]So would you consider this a PB to the 1.4500 area and go long off of a bounce from that? Or has the early morning run been to large?

Isn't there hidden divergence that has formed showing potential to continue up?
