Thanks to the Abonacci system, I have grown my account 86% so far this year. I have settled on trading the
103 template. Most of the time I wait for the 103 trigger and then let price reverse before I enter the trade.
My take profit is usually following the initial run after the reverse not the 103 TP level. If price reverses again
before it reaches the 103 tp level, I will enter another trade. Sometimes I will enter the trade right when
the 103 triggers a signal. If I do that, when price reverses after the trigger,and it usually does, I will just
add to my position. I am still learning how to trade the Abonacci. This way seems to be working for me
at the moment. The other templates just had too much drawdown for me. I might add that I am more
comfortable with the trade if the 103 template is in agreement with the direction of the 680 template.

That's fantastic Al. Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing your methodology as well.

Just out of interest, how are you deciding on the pullback? Is it PA on a certain time frame? Or pullback to a specific level?

Both. I am no expert at this. Sometimes I will use price action, sometimes I will enter when it moves back to a previous support level and then becomes resistance.
Since I know the reliability of the 103 template, If I enter too soon on the pullback and it continues going against my pullback entry, I will just add to that position.
I am confident when I add to that already reversed position that it just isn't going to go much further against me.

I always watch the lower timeframes for the 103 entry (15,5 and even 1). Good pin bars can be
very convincing that it's time to head back in the 103 direction. Also, a good set of railroad tracks
on the 1m or 5m can be a very good pinbar on the 15m.

I still haven't figured that out. I tend to use an emergency catastrophic stop loss. That is the part that I am just
not really comfortable with. I guess we could have this discussion several months from now and I will say that I have
lost 86%.

I should think with your approach you can be flexible. If your going with a 15min pbar or outside bar to confirm the reversal back into the 105 direction, then just under that (or just under the S->R/R->S). If it gets taken out, then you can always re-enter lower?.

Absolutely - I think we can all trade the templates differently and learn from each others experiences and findings.

I think that the level are predetermated for medium term because the fundmental can change their goals. So yes. For me they are pre-determinated but not at long term.
