One for the trades that didn't work file ... UJ

Entry reasons :

  1. Good m5 / m15 stochs
  2. With day's general direction so far following it's earlier bounce up off of DP. Also with higher time frame trends.

Risks :

  1. Kind of a "middle of nowhere" turning point (i.e. not off a resistance or support)
  2. Against a relatively fresh m15 arrow (although with all other higher time frame arrows)

Outcome :

  1. After 25 minutes trade had failed to cross entry point, and starting to hint at turning, so exited for a 2 pip loss. Sure, I could've hung on in the hope that it would carry on upwards (and maybe it will), but then it's turning into a coin toss rather than a HPT.


And on that note, with no news coming the market seems to have gone to sleep, so that's probably the extent of my trading for today.

antantnz,

I dont trade this pair, but useful to look at CPM in this case, both USD & Yen have been strong today.

So UJ not a high probability pair.

There is more to consider than just pure Genesis signals.

Just a thought.

Hi Marty,

Yes, agreed ... I had a look at that after I'd entered and realised they were very evenly matched and thought "doh!" ... still getting my head around how to make best use of it at the moment, but I do see it's advantages and agreed it could've kept me out of this trade. Thanks!

Just a small remark. Maybe this trade could have been avoided since the m15 arrow and the H1 stoch were not in agreement.
Here I post a template according to recent RJ's rules (my posting template and not my actual template).
So no H1 stoch here but still M15 arrow is negative.

USD Index Daily chart It's going to be interesting to see whether the greenback can make it another week of progress....looks like it has reached a level of 'make or break'..... {image}
Well the breakout north is interesting...the USD continues to gain power, which is reflected in the Yen breaking 100.00 again.....I wonder how long this will continue.......

Question: You are a newbie on trading?
When not, sorry for this question, but there was no reason to close this trade.

When we open a trade, then for a really reallllyyy good reason, which you self explain very well.
When we open a trade, then we set a sl.
When we in a trade, we give the PA time to work.
When we in a trade, we dont make the Newbiemistake, to close the trade, when the PA is working.

Sorry, but i cant hear it anymore.
We dont trade here the arrow, or the mtf arrow.

It is just an toooooool, which is NOT important for an entry a trade or not.

Sorry, but after a while, really, i cant read it anymore.
RJ was saying this multitimes, and ever and ever again, peoples come with the reason THE ARROW..

omg, sorry.

FOM - great trades.

Closing trades early.....something that works for me - ask yourself when you are in a trade....

1. The reason or reasons I'm still in this trade are still valid. ( Be it bounce of S/R, Pivot, BRN, whatever)
2. Is there another valid Genesis trade/signal starting to develop?? (In your chart where price action is going sideways is that a valid M15 stox to short? Well no....stay with original signal)
3. Is PA still favouring you.....(yes, sideways PA is no fun but the market does need to breathe.......is it ready to turnover or continue its original trend.......well you need to wait(the hardest thing to conquer)
4. If all above are good - and you have a SL in place or even better moved SL to BE - sit on your hands!!

Neither a newbie nor a professional ... in that interim phase and yes, not great at leaving trades to run when they go slow. I think that's both :

  1. a confidence thing (how confident am I that it was a strong entry afterall?) - it's easy to doubt yourself when nothing happens
  2. and also in the past those premature exits have often turned out to be right - but I think a lot of that was because they were bad entries in the first place

It is definitely something I need to improve on though ... along with getting better at leaving winners to run.

Great list ... I've highlighted #3 because I think that exactly captures my struggle.

Although obviously UJ took off after New York open, in most cases I would've closed all my trades by then due to being in NZ and not being able to trade that session ... not at present at least.
1 pip at a time ... if the entries are strong, the rest will follow ...

For those not sure if they are newbies or not, here are some signals developed on the thread to watch out for:

RJ's classic "I'm going to bed" signal. This signal means there will be some great trades really soon after making 100 pips at least.

Wiz "I'm watching the charts" signal. This means you may as well go to bed as nothing will happen for hours.

Fame's "I'm getting my beauty sleep" signal. Definately have a trade on GJ at this time as price will soar in one direction.

And now my own "I'm having a late lunch up town" signal - heaps of trades against Asian crosses, especially Oz as they know I'm not online!!!!

Only experienced traders will catch these I know......

You are quite wright!
Arrow is just a tool. But tools are there - from ancient times- to be used and make our lifes easier.
This trade for me should not be made (but that's just me).

Either you enter where my first (left) line is and as you correctly said you let the trade breath, or you make a second trade where my second red line is.
Do you see anything wrong with using the "tools" there?

I think the point that FOM is making is this......from Post #2....and repeated many times since:

"The Arrow…..now I don’t always wait for the arrow because in a sudden PA reversal it may be late…but….if an arrow doesn’t arrive within the next couple of candles, I become concerned!!"

If we are going to wait for the M15 Arrow before enter a trade, then we may as well just trade Arrow to Arrow!!
