Hi JM, so according to T5_103F rule, right now since the price has fallen from lower phase 23.6 to 76.4, the trend is bearish?
If it is moving another phase downward then am I right to assume the price will go further south towards 50 line?

I think the whole system F means You enter the trades when, the condition fails [T5_103F]

Bobi stated : "If price can not complete it journey and can break its opposite
breakout level , then we can say trend is changed and will complete
the opposite direction (90% of the times will move to 100% level of
opposite phase) . But the missed target will be still valid to be met
in future."

So the whole picture is, you take the trade NOT to take the trade when price breaks 36 or 61, but when the condition fails.
Bobi didn't stated the probability of trades when price breaks, [from 0%-50% maybe], but Bobi stated the probability when this fails [90% up]

Cheers !
May the odds be ever in your favor

It depends what you mean by the trend. You could say the trend on this template may be down, but on larger templates its up. According to this templates rules moving from one phase (crossing 100% line) to another doesn't really mean anything on it own. If price cross the 76.4% line by 7 pips (having travelled from the 23.6% in the phase above), then you have a short signal with a 40 pip target.

PS - there isn't anything in the rules that says price must reach 50%

T4F is used for detecting trend change and is based on a failed setup. This doesn't apply to T5_103F though. Any T5_103F signal is valid, but its always sensible to aim for the ones that are in line with a larger template target.

Traders my opertativa is: Operate only the T-103 template and apply the operating rules of the breakdown of 38.2 and 61.8 , target 37 pips profit and stop of 37 pips (I use stop because I do not like myself suffer great DD ) , relative reward ratio risk / 1:1, but where I give a lot of importance is the MONEY MANAGEMENT.

We know the system works very well but there is a risk that some operations remain open for ever and ever , I resolved to stop this , if an operation is closed by the stop - as I have the confidence that the system is very good and gives few glitches - the following entry in the pair failed to do twice the position ( we could say that is a controlled martingale ) , ie 0.50 batch operation first position, if it fails in the next step will come with 1 lot, and if this also fails , the next I will come with double, with 2 lots , so on until the price go in our favor and regain the lost .

I have done the backtesting MONEY MANAGEMENT and gives very good results, open up lots 4 .

THIS OPERATION GIVES ME A BIG TRANQUILITY.

Hope you helps.

Helpful post JMSS59 - the MM can be the achilles heel for Abonacci. Just to clarify, you will have 4 attempts at a level 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 for the final one?

Or do you mean that if you have a long signal (0.50), and it fails, hits your SL and triggers a short signal, you will take the short (1.0). Or do you double up only in the direction of the first trade?

I made backtesting from the oldest year 2,013 in GU, EU and AU pairs, and the maximum number of failed trades has been this, however if the price again has failed in the last operation, the following would turn 8 lots.
We know that the martingale is at risk, but the reliability of the system gives confidence and tranquility.

No matter which direction the price is always the next step, be it sell or bull either.

You must be aware of the imprecision of the system, although the movements usually hit the desired objectives sometimes not, yesterday I went into the GU 0.3 pips and then he turned and reached for 1.4 pips stop. This can be for several reasons. You may modify any news movement, or that the price stops at a significant number - usually 0 or 5 -, or movement simply ran out of steam a bit sooner than expected.

These imprecision will always will be and we must have a suitable MONEY MANAGEMENT to meet the price movement.

GU. Bears seem to have much strength, so far there has not been any significant pull-back, hopefully the price reaches his goal.
