Not going anywhere. Take a look at this chart of yesterday on EU.

As you can see the market is trending sideways. There's a pull back at the beginning of the day, and price pulls right back up above the moving averages, and not one short continuation signal.

For the rest of the trading day, there's not one signal to trade a pull back, and then the continuation.

This is exactly the sort of thing I've designed this strategy to do. Keep me out of the market most times when it's trading sideways, and provide ample trading oppotunities when it's trending up or down.

As you can see, I took a trade on AU yesterday, which was a losing trade, at the time of the trade I was looking at the bar and I was thinking that once this bearish bar closed it would print a red continuation signal.

So at the close of the bar I entered the order, however I checked after and realised that a red short continuaiton signal had in fact not printed, by that time it was too late.

The lesson is, always check and ensure that the criteria for a trade is met.

EU broken past the moving averages, now cannot get a long signal here.. GU likely to do the same... AU looking like the best prospect at this point..

As you can see, EU retraced to far to make any valid signals, however you can see how price has moved between the xx00 and xx50, prices will do this often, and once reaching these areas support can be found.

Full measured move based on intraday swing... this is the reason for target area, and the reason why the stop loss is beneath that swing point at the xx75 level..

Nothing is certain...

Good morning Musashi.

I have read your posts with great interest, not only in this thread but also in Vantage's thread (and Medici's?).

As a consequence, I have done something I swore I would never do, and have signed up for Twitter!

Looking forward to following you.

Best wishes

I'm new to Twitter as well, I think that it's possible to receive alerts to mobile phones using Twitter, which might be helpful to some who follow and want to make money.



I know it's difficult to believe that there's profitable traders in this world but they do indeed exist... trust me..
