Trading with Deadly Accuracy

Thanks. But it isnt about greed (in this case, generaly I agree). Question is if you have target would you prefer wait until price reach this target or do you close half position (e.g. when price is equal to stop loss). But I think I know the answer I have to test it on historic data what is better but I consider you and other guys here more experience so I only want to read your experience. Thanks

It is a good question. One that I have thought about, and one that I have read about and one that I have back tested. The answer is: It does make a difference, but not a tremendous amount.

Return
If you decide to take out some profits early, in general, you will make less return in the long run than if you hold to your final target and close. If you hold, you will have more losing trades, but the winners will bag you more money.

Equity Curve
If you decide to take out some profits early, in general, you will have a smoother equity curve and a smoother emotional ride. You may not make as much in the long run.

Emotional Factor
If you hold and do not scale, by cannot stomach the ups and downs, or the string of consecutive loses which will occur at some point, then your emotions will cause you to do silly things and your efforts to maximise your return will fail.

My Answer
In the end, I do not thinks it makes a tremendous difference to your return, and that is why we trade. To make and maximise our return on investment.

The decision should be based upon what makes you the most comfortable. Above all, what will be the most important is the consistency of the approach.

Myself, if I am joining a trend, I see less need to scale and more reason to hold. I am taking something counter trend, picking a potential reversal, or taking something speculative, I see more need to scale early and less reason to hold.

Utility Theory
Utility theory is related to this topic and something which can be read to provide further insight. Seach FF for the doucment called "Trading for Infinite yield-- Utility theory and you.pdf"

I hope that helps.

Yes, beautiful line no doubt. Extend it a bit to the left as it starts on 06.22nd .)
First level 5135 is quite good but second level at 6978 is better. Possible quasimodo pattern and nice wmd level imho.

How did you know that?
Below is the picture that was posted. The reason is pretty clear (TL retest and S/R flip). However in saying that, credit should really be given where credit due. Althoug the up move was pretty clear to me, Will has been pointing out how EURGBP will move for the last 12 months, so I did have a helping hand.

It goes like this...

Point A: (I do not recall the exact spot, but in that general area), Will said EURGBP was a short.

Point B: (At the exact low mind you!) Will said close shorts, go long. Price will retest .85. Buy the dips. It will reverse from .85, retesting the low (B).

Point C. Price reverses at .85 (to the pip). Advise was to sell the rallies.

Point D: Most people were saying double bottom. Will said keep shorting, it will continue to fall and the buyers will get trapped, and the trend down will accellerate. It did.

Point E: Close shorts. Could reverse from here.

Point F: (I do not recall this spot, in that general area? Or maybe the break of the low? I do not recall) Again, EURGBP shorts are back in play, sell.

Point G (Edit: updated pic, it was on the pullback). Same story.... close your shorts and go long, price is going to reverse here and retest .85. The waves back to .85 could be like such and such (i.e. will not be in a straight line)....

As I said. credit should really be given where credit is due.

Hi, could you tell how were all those points defined? I mean the reason behind entering those trades ?

Thanks
Eurogbp has been good to us, infact we have caught the best part of every major wave since December 2011.

The formation is explained in the Pattern Hunting tutorial which you will find in the Elite section. Heres an excerpt.

(edit.... I just saw the post above...)

Hi needtolearn,

I wanted to make sure I had my facts right, so I went back and checked my notes. I have point F wrong. Point F should be on the 12 of June, that's earlier than what I show above. Here are my notes (taken from Will) on June 12.

"From here, EURGBP will continue the down move until the .77 - .78 area (possibly .76). At that price, we will have pattern completion. Price will reverse from that area and make its way back up and retest .85."

I have shown that in the chart below.

To answer your questions, as I understand it, the core principle with the EURGBP moves is that Will sees multi-wave patterns in the market structure, and those patterns tend to have predictable outcomes whether they be on a 5min chart or a daily chart. I have watched Will predict the next 3,4,5... waves of a move and they tend to play out in most cases.

I am not talking here about patterns like wedges, triangles, head and shoulders, I am taking about waves (up waves, down wave, up wave, etc). In the past you did have people that saw patterns like this...Elliot, Gann, etc. I think Will see patterns in the randomness that other people do not.

What is astonishing is that this pattern on EURGBP started at the end last year and Will has taken a chuck out of every wave. If you want to know more, you will need to ask him to explain it. It's not something I understand well enough to comment on further.

This was posted on todays trading notes by WMD as a potential hourly double bottom. Once I saw this candle close I opened the trade. Currently up 70 pips. Have scaled out 2/3 and see how far I can let the rest ride

Very good job JayMFX.....

EJ today is by far the best behaving pair, the best trade possible on a buy & hold fashion, let that 1/3 run, it can run much more far than you think...

Congratulations to WMD for his trading web page, tools and offers to the traders comunity.

Good job again
