Eddy & Kimt,
Just wondering about deploying scouts. do you rescue the scout if its underwater? Been trying to find posts where you resecue the scout but to no avail. only manage to find posts where you resecue after deploying checker..
On the other hand, is it a good habit to deploy the scout when there is low liquidity or when the market is ranging?
but the tricky part is how to know if it's a correction or reversal...
your long hours spent watching charts will give you an advantage...
or.. on a volatile market, where you see long legs... then that is the trend... best action... is do nothing...
remember never attach an enemy when they're on their peak and on their strongest... all you have to do is wait... price behaves like us... like when we run... our objective is to run from point A to point C... but when we start running... we run out of puff... and we pause and to catch our breath... then we call it point B...
like the market... price run like us... before price reach it's objective... it always have a point B somewhere in between...
if you can feel the flow... then you can almost feel when the price is exhausted and just about to stall... or consolidate...
and again that's the best chance to probe... to deploy a scout
to feel...... if you can tell that price is in consolidation or accumulation... or whatever you call it... then that is the best time to get in...
most of the time... when price start to run... then it's too late to react
and this is why we need to feel and pulse her...

Thanks... problem is i need to know how to tell when trend change.. killed 2 scouts today, thinking that trend changed, only to realize that market was ranging. That was in the morning when eur/usd had low vol
As for attacks, we should only do so once scout is in the positive region yeah? Do you deploy your troops for attack when scout is in the red? Depends on the situation right?
that's the beauty of the scout... they're expendable
when wrong... best is to cull them... but if not... do a rescue... swift and quick...as for attacking...
you need to have a plan before entering a position... and when you have a plan... just stick to it and follow it...
do attack when scout is in positive territory... that's a good idea... you can start doing that until you build more confidence...
depends on the situation? ... yes all the time... that's why to be able to survive in this battle... we need to be flexible... we need to be NIMBLE... AND QUICK!

the best time to deploy scout is when you know it's just a correction...

Gotcha... Explained it very clearly. I hear you about the correction versus reversal bit...
Wanna clarify one thing you said...

following a plan for attack meaning knowing when to add positions? i think honestly that's the trickiest bit... Sometimes it seems like its ok to add at every candle.. while sometimes its better to add at price rejection or support/resistance. i noticed that you dont have a fixed way of doing it...

Could you explain this againnn? Thannks
if you're not in or have not have any position... best thing to do is to do nothing... never chase a runner... thinking that you missed the bus...
wait until it stalls or retraces... then implement your plan...

on a volatile market, where price start running strongly, where you see long candles and a series of these without retracement sometimes...
