Ok, my whole point is this, if we skip trades like this (PB setups) on daily chart how many trades per decade we will have for a pair?
So I think this is a MUST TAKE SETUP for every one!!!
it's normal & better to skip trades
losses are normal too but it's better we avoid&reduce them in anyway we can

'i should take this trade because if i dont i am not trading enough of this pair'
it's illogical to think this way. (& painful, emotionally & financially, in the end)

for new/newer traders, u should always remember:
"quality versus quantity"
"it's better to be out of a trade wishing you were in than be in a trade wishing you were out"
trading is a serious business, it's not a job/work. u are not compelled/required to 'work' or trade daily/frequently/more than u need to, unlike in an employment situation where u are compelled to work/go to office/'do your 'job' daily.

u dont have to believe me, (your) experience will shed some light.

hey it's pretty early in the UK, isn't it?
im not a touch trader... just my view:

price is quite far away now, so anything can happen when/if price revisits 1.3100 area. (i think it's possible we'll revisit 1.3100 tomorrow the soonest, more likely next week)
i think it would be better if there was another S/R 'confluence' aside from 1.3100, & if price didnt drift too far away immediately after 1.3100 broke (break & retest, as opposed to break & drop).

BINGO

See how consolidated price has been on the euro. I personally will assume this action until proven otherwise. So you HAVE to be aware of those areas if you do trade it. Or you stay out until the situation aligns that you are comfortable with

So a nice BUOB that tests 1.43 and closes 1.455 or so for continuation!

Hi SC,

I understand what you are saying, but that is not what I mean. My point was that IF we see an A+ setup which has the highest odds of hitting its target and we SKIP it - that's just not the way to do it. They happen so rare, so each time there is a perfect setup one must take it.

Of course there is no such thing as must in trading, one may not even trade at all, or never open a live account or whatever... it's a personal choice imho

hey there partner.

I hope that you did what YOU believed to be correct based on what you felt at the time. This was actually a pair that we discussed fairly in depth a few pages back. It was an easy pass for me. I will go back and find the post that I put up with regards to this pair. I just do not see this as being A+. Being picky DOES mean skipping it no matter how many times a PB will appear in the last decade. Do not make the mistake of making a bad trade good through justification. This is just what my thoughts are. At best I don't see this...

Hi Ryan, thanks for your post! Yes of course I saw that box too. And they are part of my plan, so if there is a box I put one more + sign for the setup. Target is a lower boundary of the box (I wish).
FTA is the middle line you show (I rounded it to 96.50).

+ S/R rejection @1.0490
+ BRN rejection @1.0500
+ swing high

- big up trend
- relatively small pin (but IMO in good location)

What do you think guys?

...and it did exactly what it was supposed to do. A little pinbar formed in the PPZ of the all time top and we go down again

Hi everybody,
There is an I4b on Eurchf daily (yesterday's candle). if price closed below 1.1500 I think a short trade (with trend) would be valid with 1.1420 target.

What do you think? appreciate your opinions.
Well, I took a short trade @ 1.1495 and closed @1.1430 (1% gain). I know R/R was not optimal, but probability was high IMO. What do you think guys? Was it too agressive?

Hello,

I took my first trade yesterday using this method. However, I did learn that I entered too early. However, it worked out for me and I am up 67 pips!! (Thank you James!)

Now the big question. When do I exit?

Couldn't agree with you more.Excellent post. This is my first month trading with James PA method. I had excellent 2 weeks. But suddenly this week was bizzare. Lost what I had earned last week. Reason- I had to do something. I took trades and literally forcing myself to take it. When I look back at them, I wouldn't have even considered them. The emotion which I had controlled for last 2 weeks with excellent results won over me.
Its very difficult to stay quite in a room and do nothing.
I will have to constantly remind myself this everyday for a while till I get used to it.

vbmark, Since you have taken this on Daily Tf, I would urge you to consider it managing on that time frame unless there are exceptional circumtances.

Also, have your trouble areas and potential exit stratergy in mind. Because once you are in the trade, you loose half of your common sense. Fyi, My first trouble area for this trade is 1.4250 and I am going to put mystop to b/e once this area is hit. My exit stratergy is trail by 2 bar exit as there seem to be momentum in this trade and I want to get as many pips out as possible. I can potentially see this going to 1.4
Trading is a test match not a Twenty20.

My first trouble area for this trade is 1.4250
Is it because it is one of those special numbers ending in 00 or 50?
