is good to followup on UChf as there was a run up this week, so before it turnaround, as you see the TDI VB widen up and the TDI went out of the VB. There must be consolidation before the TDI retruns back to the other end of the VB. But we shall see how market volatility will be to get a good price swing down. Anyhting between 160 and 220pips for a week swing would be great...maybe next week.

that candle did not make a HH ... so we must wait for a change in colour on H1..
LON may have made its day high already, we don;t know this for sure.
only one person knows this better... he is Phx62

looking at your candles, there was no price action for a push up. so TDI did not confirm the PA....

remember PA leads and TDI is to confirm....

Ok thanks, so the ema was red and pointing down so I should have thought short and therefore waited?

Dont the candles usually want to return to the ema?

all moving averages are derivative of the price..
why should price return to the MA?
it is the MA which will catch up with the price.
I said this many times inn other threads.
so lets all get this logic correct...it is fact.

whether to long or to short depends on where you see PA and support and resistance.... the PASR concept of trading made easy.

I think I kinda, sorta, get how the system works. Problem is, well, I'm not exactly efficient - I already fulfilled my target (200 pips a week), and if this is live account I would stop and, dunno, enjoy live or some such. It is not, though, and since I tried to get used to the system, I decided to go ahead and trade more.

Well, after some review, it appears my main problem is cold feet. I opened a lot of positions, check which of them likely to grow into trend, then close the one that doesn't seem to be. Problem is, I often wrong - not a big deal, since I got pips anyway. But it bugs me, so this time I tried to let it all grow. Well, doesn't seem to work. Though maybe because it is too early, and I get cold feet and pull out before the trend moves in expected direction. so. Umm. I kinda lost track what I want to ask... Oh, right.

When is the best time to close (probable) losing trade? Via indi, I mean. Or gut feeling, maybe?

EDIT: Oh, one more thing! I think it is language barrier, but I don't understand what Big E's says about, umm, "green TDI line goes flat, starts to hook over or makes a check mark reversal". The flat is obvious, but can I get example for 'starts to hook over', and 'makes a check mark reversal'?
It is quite Zen, when you think about it.

first of all this is not a system.
it is only a technical trading method.
until you put in your own money management and your mind into the system equation, you will make it into your system

second, post your trade entry chart and I will show you how to manage trades using R-Multple method which is proven. 200pips means nothing when we do not know what your risk R is.


Trade Well.

Ah! so it depends on my risk? No, wait. That's not exactly true. It's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't quite express it. Huh. Umm. Let's go with maximum 5% of deposit.

hey adam

you are going wrong in that you are not using the correct candles, should be synergy APB type heiken ashi candles. so this setup is unfortunately not trading made simple... the synergy apb bars make it so much easier to judge market direction. you can download the template and indicators from post #25

you can either play the position sizing game or do something totally different.
