Lets see if I got this one right

ABCD pattern

C was inside 61.8%, D was in between 127% extension and 168% extension (almost reaching 168%).

There is some structure when you look a little to your left (not on this screen shot). Also AB not equal to, but very similar to CD.

Bought at D and took profit just under 61.8%.

Against order flow, so took small profit.

Dont worry about the sell trade....that's a longer TF trade.
Good Job

This is called discretionary trading, or open a position at point D, instead of stop loss, I opened another position at 261.8. total 60 pips profit

Lucky for you it worked out. This is Kamikaze trading. Never add to a losing postision. If you want to scale into your postion that is fine until you get the hang of the PRZ. Take your trade size and devide it by 3 open position at the top of tyour PRZ another in the middle and the last at the bottom.

A Cypher in light green, Gartley in blueAttachment and ABCD all completed and I wasn't watching this pair so missed it.
The 233 T only offers you the ability to trade one pair comfortably.

Hi mr. Pip !
As I see in your 2. trade ABCD Sell you took your tp at 61.8% of CD instead as mentioned in your rules of trading on 61.8% of AD leg !
Also all your trades were for me very difficult to understand if you take into account only rules that you provide us on C-aggresive and ABCD pattern.
Could you explain it how in the video later, so we should make clear how to trade patterns 100% accordingly to our rules ? I am now very confused how you determine the main swings and wonder how am I gonna be able to it do like you in the future.
Thanks...
I'm sorry I have confused you. I took profit at the 61.8 of the main swing because it was against long term orderflow. Once there was a retest and failure at the double top the pattern was traded. Had you not seen that you would have still been fine with one less trade and great profit. Did not mean to throw a wrench your way.

@MR.PIP
you wouldn't be familiar, with Jason Stapleton or Akil Stokes? your trading style is almost identical
Yes, I am familiar with Jason not Akil very similar he has way more rules, I don't know how he keeps track of them all. He knows his Harmonics and is sells professional education very $$$$$$$

First trade today, probably shouldnt have taken because i didn't enter at the right price and got a skewed rr of less than 1 with spread and commission, but it worked!

The large losses were from me testing a script, so they really shouldnt have been there, and the first one was my breakeven gbpjpy trade. but i got screwed up trying to trade another short from the zone so lol. Maybe just abcd patterns that retrace to the 61.8 would be good.

EU 5 minute chart

How does this aggressive C sell look?

Price has repeatedly failed to close above the 78.6% retracement of the AB leg.

Update: As i was typing i see they started to fall and hit the 38% retracement so my stop is at b/e. We will see how it plays out with fed beige book coming out at 2pm est.

I am still trying to get everything down but as for my 2 cents. It looks like a good area for a C sell however they are having a hard time getting out of the PRZ. With that being said I am short at the moment but have a tight stop on it.
