Ephisi - It is a live account.... have learnt a little about S & R but don't know anything about Elliot waves so that's about to change thanks : ) Vlady - Thanks for your perspective and recommended reading I will be reading up this weekend..... you are right I am finding emotion is part of this and something I need to master...I haven't changed any trades based on emotion but have to admit I end up feeling stressed when they are going in the wrong direction... Sorry for the delayed response I've got a 5yr old little boy had to go and fetch him...

It should definitely go to 1.32816 today, probably fairly soon. However, there is a longer term problem lurking at 1.32488 so there is a chance it might take that out first. This could be a good place to open a hedge.

Hi. Can you kindly please explain what you mean by: "... there is a longer term problem lurking at 1.32488."

I´ve been reading extensively everything posted about transient zones and would appreciate your input.

Thanks.
Observation is the path to discovery.

This can be happened, but some unfinished job must be done (other pairs are clearly). So, it will goes up first, before goes down fast, faster ...

spot on . That is how religion and cults starts. They start to have faith in you then they follow and then they follow blindly {quote}
no man, this is not it. following blindly is not why did.
I just made the decision to give him some credit for 1 day, to see what happens - if he would have been right then I would have invested more time in understanding his method (nothing blindly here). this is what people do, or should do, normally: to show trust to people around them and let them show themselves they don't deserve it if the case.
is just that in this specific situation eurusdd's call was a big failure, and he didn't even bother to come back in due time to deal with it - at least as far as I know. so things are clear about him based on facts.
in other order of ideas, I believe you rushed into conclusions too soon. what you said has nothing to do with my specific case.

good luck with your trading!

I am using only transient zones on my chart now and have found a way to use them that identifies prices that will be returned to. In the main, the price will be returned to very quickly and these occur all the time on all timeframes and are great for scalping, although sometimes they retrace too quickly to cover the spread. There is a special setup however where price is unlikely to return to for some time, if at all, and it was one of these that I had marked at 1.32488. I don't trade those as a rule but I like to know where they are.

There are many ways to trade the TZ's but I am content I have found one that seems to work for me. I followed this thread from its inception and am a great fan but found some of the earlier methods I used for identifying dissimilarity produced levels that took too long to return to (there's still one outstanding from 6 Sep last year - we may get there soon!). So far, this method is holding up well and gets me in and out quickly.

I am not going to spell out exactly what I do but will give you some massive hints:

1. observe exactly what happens immediately after price takes out a previously formed TZ. Especially where the next TZ is formed
2. wait for the TZ to complete before entering (I use a small h by the way) - many will have already invalidated the trade by then but it is better than anticipating and being wrong. There are lots and lots of opportunities.
3. if a TZ is taken out by a mid bar TZ leave it alone and move on

Eurusdd may be displeased at giving so much away but most people don't really read the posts anyway.
Good luck

its ok bro, i understand and accepth your explanation but the truth is this . the fact that he made one wrong call does not mean his method does not work. it works perfectly. the system works , the trader may make a mistake applying the system.common one loss isnt enuf to discard the system
