Friends,

I do not know what's going on with my trades. In the last three days, every time I open an order it becomes a support or resistance. I know it. Something is missing. I need to refine my entries ....

'Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability. Don't ever feel that
you are very good. The second you do, you are dead.
Jesse Livermore, one of the greatest speculators of all time, reportedly said that, in the long ran,
you can't ever win trading markets. That was a devastating quote for someone like me, just getting
into the business. The idea that you can't beat the markets is a frightening prospect. That is why my
guiding philosophy is playing great defense. If you make a good trade, don't think it is because you
have some uncanny foresight. Always maintain your sense of confidence, but keep it in check.' Paul Tudor Jones, Market Wizards

Nothing is for sure..... all the rules and indicators were lined up for a Short (slope kept on repainting though) about 9 hrs ago...GBPJPY & GBPUSD.... except the trend was still up...

Price was playing way outside the 4HR band..... for sure it was going to come back down soon...

But the Shorts cost me dearly...... my system went off line before I could enter SL's just before leaving for work this morning...... but I thought it was OK.

But I was over confident....Tonight, coming home, I was in for a shock seeing my 'balance' (or what change...

Solid resistance for the GBP now at 1.6130. I'll close my order if there's a daily close above. I truly believe this is the end of the road for the Bulls for the GBP, but what do I know Entered at 1.6019 so currently 109 pips down.

Nothing is for sure ...except ...The trend.
Remember, even a trend is not a trend until after the fact when we say, "Oh look how nicely price trended. During the development of a trend it's just that, a developing trend.

The only things I see as 'for sure' in the market is that 1) Price is always moving to break a high or low and 2) One can NEVER know how far price will move in a given direction.

But the price is going up and up..... Now, Iīm -100 pips.
Interbucks, Itīs friday and I will not close the order, because I believe the price is going down at 1.6130. I'll take the risk.

How do you people deal with the TMA SLOPE indicator repainting?

I have noticed at the point of trade when price crosses the band.
I will miss the trade because slope has not yet hit 0.50+
but later it shows it did ?

You're absolutely correct. Semafor indi almost does the same thing as spike indi.
It does repaint. When there is a nearby new HH or LL this indi repaints.

TMA system tries to trade the swing highs and swing lows. It's impossible to pick the exact high or low every time. We're definitely going to make mistakes. That's why Al introduced recovery method to deal with the mistakes. But there're still people like to trade with stop losses. Semafor is just one of the methods trying to do that. It's not a final product, but with my limited experience...
Thanks Frank - It makes more sense to me now. Appreciate your response.

Is this a valid setup to go for long? A valid setup for rule 1, 3 and 4 but not rule no 2. Am i too late going in now? TMA slope is indicating BUY only. Or do i have to wait for the HA to cross from the bottom band direction to the top to enter a long position?
What is wrong with this thread? I was asking for help from fellow members here but no one seem to even care to reply and help me out. Aren't we supposed to help each other here? I am assuming only the high-count number of posters get their replies.

You can only go long from below the bottom band. In this chart price is above the upper band. Please, read Post 1.

hI, I have entered short on EU but I entered on the first red candle with the arrow, I wonder if this is a correct entry because it is not the red candle crossing the band, it is the blue crossing the band. Is this the correct setup?
And this is the other post I made without reply. Is this thread only for the masters where the newcomer isn't accepted?

Of course itīs coming down. The question is when. Thatīs why it is so important to play small per position. You have to figure that the market will take a lot longer to do what you want than you think. You have to leave yourself the staying power to wait it out. The setup is perfect. Outside the M15, H1 and H4 bands. The next move is to the bottom of the H1. Patience and maneuvering room are essential.
