In a GBPUSD long from yesterday. Let it run overnight with SL at break even.

Just jumped in to AUSUSD. 4hr gave long signal but waited till it popped the 1.0650. Monitoring that one closely in the short term.
Hi Dave

I am long on E/G since yesterdays signal, also long on N/U.

E/G gave a fairly big draw down overnight, thought it was going to hit SL, but is heading in good territory now. It was a close call.

I am also monitoring these closely at the moment.

If you have a look at the red lines on my chart you can quite clearly see my stop and my take profit. Because the number 3 is so high on this 123 pattern I have chosen to put the stop under number 1 which is the ultimate in stops with this pattern. If price goes beyond number 1 its time to go do some gliding

Referring to the previous chart posted, with 4 Hour TMS signal ->

... that this may help with the question I see asked so many times about "do / can I enter on 1st, 2nd, 3rd candle?"

The highlight area, on this 1 Hour chart, is the first 2 x 4 Hour candles, as you can see, a price target is shown, giving a clear entry based on PRICE and not confused by TIME, make sense?

The cross on TDI looks good to me, price at WS1 now, however if it clears it could hit WP at 107.32.

Just my humble opinion.

And what nonsense do you base all that mumbo jumbo on? What happened to the easy rules at the start of this thread?

This system is either EASY as stated by the author or it isn't. Either the ground rules are on the first page and are EASY to follow or they are scattered about over 500 plus pages.

Everything on this planet can be explained by science! Including the Dilusional people here making up gambling theorems on the go to explain the fact they took a loss or don't quite know when to enter.

Science states very clearly if you cant put in writing a strict set of rules that would replicate your trade then you dont have a system.

This Essy fellow wants to criticise someone who has traded for 12 years and then um and arrs about whether he should take a trade because he doesn't know the rules.

Damn it man you either have met the rules to enter or you haven't. Your opinion is irrelevent!

[color=black][font=Verdana]For those of you having anxiety over being down 25 or 20 pips . . . on a 4 Hr chart, swings can go as far as 150 pips. This is to be expected! 70% of the time when you place a trade, the market will spend some time in the negative, or the opposite direction of your trade. This is the market breathing. Really? 25 pips down and you're worried? Only 30% of the time will the momentum carry your trade in the "right" direction with no drawdown or fluctuation. Especially on a 1 hr chart and higher. How do I know this? Lots...
This is a totally eye opener! you cannot believe what this kind of posts is doing with me (and i think with more of us). This posts are gold. Drawdown is hard to accept but we need to accept it before we can win.

Hey Strata been a while since I posted here. Just been re-reading some of the Bagovino method. Can you tell me is the system still the same as the method described on page one? If not what page can I get the latest version. What are you using for exits?
Thanks in advance
Then you appear to be attempting to refine it...

This may be getting off the track or some of you might find it is getting on the track or at least making the track clearer? Your thoughts are appreciated. Anyway if you look at the pic attached you can see that I have added a BB. If you look further at the middle line or 20 ma you can see that most of the time the crossover of the EMAs represented by the colored arrows happen when price crosses the 20 MA. And still using the 50 EMA to represent the 21 RSI if you trade only those arrows in the direction of the 50EMA perhaps exiting at the...
Yet you come here only a few weeks afterwards and hold up the 1-2-3 pattern as basically all you need to use to trade successfully.

Do you recognise the contradiction?

Surely after 12 years experience you have a system in place that is proven to make consistent profits. If 1-2-3 wasn't good enough in March, why is it so now?

I am afraid that jumping from system to system then holding up one chart pattern as the holy grail is the typical behaviour of a novice. And emotional immaturity is the typical behavour of a novice who is destined to fail.

Take a look at all the signals that TDI was giving off in this screen shot! (No it's not cherry picked, I am performing manual backtesting from Feb and just came across it

Had you followed all of these you would be living under a tree right now asking passers by for hand outs!

Had you only taken the ones confirmed by the 123 pattern .....
