started with 1,1,1 & 1,1,2

but now still experimenting... trying not to go too far from my comfort zone

to each his own... what works for me might not for you... so best to experiment.. until you get your comfort...

Done, squared and... sidelines.

Usually, I use two different charts.
One naked.
One with a set of Moving Averages.
In this particular occasion the skew was: 2, 1, 1.

i think he is using reverse fibo for attacks

which is also 1, 0.5, 0.5

wanna be safer perhaps?

yes, good analogy... but if he wanted to be safer... why not use only 1,1

Actually, the “snowballing effect” is really a fascinating subject.

Yes kinky... you are right: I practice it as a sort of "super-safe" attack.
This one is a joke... a Reverse Fibo in pure fti's style is something different.
But the analogy is absolutely correct.
And yes... the load was: 1 lot, +0.5, +0.5...

Yes dongsky, it could be also 1,1.
But 2,1,1 (with its "pyramid" style...) is even more conservative.
Nevertheless it is stable and it is helpful in an "impudent" counter-trend like that.

Fti said:"If you "weighted" your attack "in front", you are very confident on your initial form read.
If you "weighted" it on "the back end", you are no so confident of your dance
but would be aggressive in rescuing your book if needed be." (TAF #2740)

The key-point, in any case, is the amount of "foreign money":
the larger "defensive-cushion" you can obtain with each wave... the better.
It will be easier to defend your profit (and your next level) in case of emergency.

So. Just a possibility.
Let the market tell you what to do.
