Wow, this forum has got confusing as hell. Good luck folks on your quest to the top 5%. The hard TRUTH, most of us won't make it !!! The top 5% = 1) Banks 2) Hedge Funds 3) Brokers 4) Teachers/ Gurus 5) System Providers This 5% make their money off the other 95% Wake up folks.
Don't give up man. I agree with what you say about this being hard, but we all are here to walk our way to that 5%. No one said it was easy.

How much time do you spend getting a career? 5 years? What do you do once you have it? At least in the Central American country I live pretty much nothing. It's known by everybody that unemployment rates are increasing each year and it's very frustrating that you are unemployed after spending 5 years at university with a $30 to $50 thousand dollar debt, maybe more.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't study and get a career but I want to make a comparison which is my point.

Let's suppose the scholarship is $600 per month that includes transportation, material, etc, but additionally you need to eat, get clothes and a long list of etceteras. Let's say is $1000 per month to go to school.

If you would stay at home you could cut those expenses to the third and you are with more than $500 that you can invest in your own education by mastering this fascinating world of trading.

Just as in any career it takes from 3 to 5 years to learn this thing well. But boy the results are extremelly more rewarding than going to schools which is what everybody does. I for one won't follow the masses, I will succeed in this thing!

Never give up your dreams. This is hard, it's not a rainbow walk, it takes years, but it's worth it.

When 1 student learn to trade the market perfectly, he becomes one of the 5% and during his learning, there are 10 new students takes birth.

You need to read this post : 5 Steps to become a trader (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=3156).

If you fight consistently, you will be a winner forever.

You are right. One of the most difficult parts to overcome is the fact you cannot win 100% of the times and that is why the R:R becomes very important, cutting the losses short while the profitables cover those loses plus adding some dollars to your capital. 70% with a good R:R would be an amazing thing to achieve!

I am currently looking at this :

AU 1HR Sell at B until C.
Then Aggressive C buy.

Reasons to sell :
-It has previous sell zone.
-Correction stage is about to complete at B.
-8886 has key support level

Reasons to buy :

-Increasing depth
-Decreasing momentum
-Impulse expected after hitting key support level 8886
-8990 Key resistance level.

Projection- none and Momentum- stronger=What should we expect here? Now is double bottom(in the picture, can be higher low in the short term order flow) , but from increase momentum we should expect trend continuation. {image} Projection- none and Momentum- equal=What should we expect here? Wait to see what market shows next. Maybe it is the best thing to do in previous charts too. I think this now after all good and bad previous analysis of expectation ) {image} Maybe I am too detail and I complicate it too much, but it's for learning purposes...
I think your way of thinking is not wrong at all !
For now I would only add a further "Tool", which we may look at, for listening even better what the Market is telling us.
You speak about Projection and Momentum, it is correct, but also look at how "Depth" is acting.
I think that beside a decreasing projection an increasing depth is a further sign of weakness.
(sorry for the "handmade" picture)



Merry Christmas to You ALL !

Hao, I want to help you and I am going to but you have to stop your thread and trading this system until you have properly given it the time necessary to fully understand it's core principles. You have not tested this properly, I know this because your questions are elementary at the most basic of levels.

You are acting very irresponsible with the limited knowledge you have. So I erg you to discontinue your thread for the sake of the newbies.

Now I will answer your questions.

1 / Where complete model (AB = CD): I wonder, formed part gobbling AB = CD (at point D). AB = CD leg leg in PRZ. I think it is random formation. I do not understand why he said that it is a commercial reason, it can go further and again I think it is random. ( model is complete )

The AB=CD is a version of the ABCD pattern it is a harmonic occurrence that is not random. It is an expectation that price moves an equal of an AB leg to form CD. At what price level this completes depends completely on how deep price corrects on the B to C corrective swing. There is nothing random about this or any other harmonic expectation. Of course the components of order flow will assist you in determining whether your target will be reached on the profit taking side or to hold on to it for further profit taking. If I need to explain this again let me know but I believe I have explained this in the order flow video. Like wise the order flow analysis will help you filter taking a reversal trade at point D. That is why order flow analysis is so important and critical for a trader to understand.

2/ BE - Until now I still do not understand about BE, I do not understand: why BE caused reversible. BE is a horizontal line at point B. He ended trade in BE as bride price correction. Compared with the Trendline or S / R, Trendline and S / R is still better. - I will not use BE. I do not use it because: I do not know why no reversible cause (it could be adjusting and continuing the trend) and if it's reversible, why not trading ???

This is very elementary but I will cover it anyway. We move to a BE point when price reaches a 38.2% on a D entry or at a touch of point B on an aggressive C because that is the first level where price may find S/R depending on which direction you are trading and profit taking occurs at the 61.8 % be cause it it the golden ratio and where price more often then not finds resistance for a continuation of the longer term order flow.

Once you fully understand how to properly assess order flow and you see enough strength in your chosen direction you may hold your trade for greater potential profits. I hope you understand this.

You must have some rules on how you will manage your trade and your rules have to be designed to maximum efficiency. Efficiency to protect your trade and capital and also for profit taking to include the maximum favorable excursion a particular swing or trend may offer.

{quote} success and failure: - success and failure for traders is: profit. - for me: price action unlike I anticipated, it's a real failure. * you can not succeed if you do not define what success is !!!
You inexperience shows in your comment, success and failure for traders is not profit. I will tell you that profit is a byproduct of having a trading system that has a positive expectancy, emotional control over your trading (drawdown = fear and profit = greed) and proper money management. If you are missing any of these three components you will not be successful. You trade plan if you even have one must address these areas and have specific rules for them.

Your trade plan for you represents what a business plan represents to a company. If you do not have one you have no direction, no map to keep you on a specific course that has been created to succeed. A course that you can believe in completely because you have done the extensive back-testing and forward testing required to validate the efficiency of your trade plan. Once this has been accomplished and reaffirmed to you and can execute this without fail then and only then will you achieve success.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Hi Mr Pip, I hope you do not mind but I have posted the links to three of your videos on another forum in response to a question someone asked my about my approach to trading - I do not know what the rules are but will take them down if they infringe upon any copyright rules you may have. Best regards PT

I don't mind at all.

I only mind if they are used by someone who starts a thread and claims to have a super system that has not been properly tested and proceeds to try teach something he or she does not understand. It is misleading and irresponsible and I do not support this type behavior. Unfortunately this is part of the problem and the reason for the high failure rate. It's really sad.
