Look at the red candle that pushed down thru green dpivot. thats momentum. if you get momentum push thru S/R you dont want to fight it. Be like the water, flow with it.

got it , can I ask a maybe stupid Q. how you define momemtum? with the fractals heat bars ?
fractals just identify reversals off S/R by looking at 5 candles. The middle candle should be higher or lower wick depending on candle type. the heat map shows we are in liine with recent reversal if we can get all one color then no conflicts. thats the idea anyway.

My first trade template was daily pivots and 2 emas. I used it for 3 years. Good win ratio. MA crossover in conjuction with pivots very strong trading method. I dropped MAs and replaced with fractals and trendlines. Its almost a perfect system if im at PC when it all lines up. Chop will kill anyone, just stay out if not fast to exit.

yes I knew the idea of bill williams, appreciate it.
BTW, 1.2798 looks a nice entry spot for shorts.

good, I am now using only TL and fibs, I'm doing pretty well, but as you say, you must be in front of the PC to capture the best moments

Pivots and Fibos that line up, a beautiful thing.

My last name is Williams, seriously.

Anymore "Bronco Bama" and I will be SL'd out. I will not move my stop. Short is not good if it breaks day highs.
