No, he didnt use those impulse waves for the abcd. see chart.
edit: nvm, i see your chart is different slightly ....... the first two bumps arent the same length in my chart.

Yes Starry, I understand his waves, but when I have for instance 2 ABCD, which one I should take? Probably Price Action is the key for choosing the right ABCD, but for me it's not quite simple to master the Price Action

Hello Mr. Pip,

Congratulations on those trades.

Do I understand correctly that the yellow arrows are your actual trades?

If so, I see your first trade started around about where my second trade did... except I chickened out at the 1.35000 line whereas you seemed to trade right through it.

What significance do you place to round numbers?
It depends on the structure and behavior of price at the round number. Price did not care for it on the way up, like it wasn't even there. So if price did not respect it neither do I. Also I was following my rules.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Wonderfull Mr. Pip! I want to ask you one thing. In my image, my ABCD is different from your first ABCD; mine got 127,20-138,20 Area as a target, instead of yours that targets the 138,20-161,80 Area (and was more acurate). Can you explain why you took that ABCD, instead of this one, which is more evident? Thanks a lot!

Edit: I want to specify that I didn't took this trade because price moved too fast. Maybe is for this reason that Mr. Pip discarded it too.
I took the completion was not at my PC earlier.

I think thats what the three impulse offset is. a three drive pattern. theyre literally everywhere. i guess in markets with lots of resistance/support, they have to travel in 3 waves to break it and reach your prz

Mr. Pip, a few questions for you when you get a chance..I asked some of these previously but in all the posts many traders questions can get lost in the pile..

1st: What do your losing days look like? I know traders love to see profitable days because it gives them confidence but I want to know the risks and to see how you manage days that are less than optimal.

2nd: Do you have rules of engagement for patterns other than ABCD and Gartley? I wasn't sure if there is anything specific that you look for differently or if they are treated the same as the Gartley just with different ratios/harmonics.

3rd: I had posted a chart with a question previously about price action in the PRZ. You had an example (which I posted below for reference) where your Long entry was after a break of a short term high made between two lows in the PRZ. Are there any specific PA patterns that you have for entry in the PRZ that goes with your rules or anything that you could cover specifically?

Once again, thanks for your time and contribution.

Does anyone else find it annoying that the historical tick data looks different (i haven't examined how different) than the live one? Because ticks are counted per second i think.

Well, I don't have tick charts, I'm using MT4 normal periods but I also find it annoying when my, say H1 chart looks different to other peoples charts of the same period. I've tried to change scales, etc but I can't seem to duplicate them and where I can clearly see the pattern on their chart, it is difficult on mine.

I'm also find it distracting that some of the charts that are being put up in this thread aren't really following Mr Pip's Rules of Engagement. So what started as a process I'm avidly trying to learn is now turning into an exercise in sifting through the clutter. It's great others are making money from their systems and adapting Mr Pip's teachings to their own styles but for those of us who are still in their FX infancy, please go start your own trade journal/system topic elsewhere. If Mr Pip hasn't taught it, recommended it, added it, etc, then don't add it in yourself. This stuff is confusing enough as it is.

I know I'm only new and I apologise in advance if I offend anyone. I'm just trying to learn this one style.

Cheers

That will be down to different brokers... there is nothing you can do to change that (apart from opening an account with the same broker as them!)

Please do not focus on if I have losing days or not, Manage risk by trading with order flow. Set a daily goal say 20 or 30 pips once hit quit. Don't over trade.

I have rules for every pattern but we are not ready yet to add another pattern.

I look at price action I do not use candle stick patterns.
