{quote} Yes i told you that he enter on M15 method but before few weeks this method didn't exist so I wonder what would be reason to avoid this trade based on H1! Regards
Udine has given us the strategy to find trades but we must use our experience and knowledge to find reasons not to trade them. If you can find any reason not to take a trade then don't. In your example there was clearly a reason not to take it, as Musicant has described.

You will see examples posted in this thread of exactly the same situation but where the price has pushed through the resistance. But they are not low risk trades.

Think about minimising the risk of failure. If you can find one reason (support, pivot, BRN, long wick etc) not to trade then don't Wait for the next one to come along if there's a reason not to take that one then don't. Eventually one will turn up and there are no reasons not to take it. That one might still hit SL but you are minimising your risk.

Reasons to take the trades are on page 1. Reasons not to take the trades are scattered throughout the thread...and elsewhere too.

{quote} First of all never try to test the market or major resistance levels/zones. The market will win every time. The mentality should be ..... how can I position myself to take advantage of what the chart is presenting to me! I kinda know what you were trying to say so I'm just having a friendly dig! I like the way you are starting to analyse your charts...that's good. The question you ask should be answered by yourself because it is you who pulls the trigger and takes the trade or not. You did not take the trade! I think you made the right decision!...
Yeah thats right MM i will learn PA so i have to ask sometimes.

Thanks for your words, helpful as always.

Hi Master, DR1 here is 5.6 pips above. AMong other reasons did you decide to place the order because two candles before already crossed DR1 with their bodies and PA was bringing a short term rebound ?

Dont worry about me my friend i am not here to deny this method or something like that...I just want to say the problems that bothering me with it and want to learn from Udine as he has great success with it.Want to learn how he avoid those?

I said few times and i will say again (just my thought): In this kind of trading (taking few pips) you will always find reason why not take a trade right especially later when your stop loss been hit (support, resistance, pivots, big numbers, not sync,news,choppy periods bla bla).

If you win you will not look at it at all and you will call this as great trade..I wonder how Udine thinks and why take that not the other...

GBP/USD is great example because he took the same trade but 5 pips earlier because use it on 15 min strategy not 1H. I am interested how would he react if use 1H,will he took same trade on 00 and why not if don't so i can learn faster!

You cannot tell that 5 pis difference here (by taking win or loss is major issue of taking vs not taking trade ) because few days ago he didn't use 15m strategy so he would use same trade as me and i would like to hear explanations asnd his thoughts...

This can be crucial here because if you lose 2 trades that day you need 5 to get everything back so mistakes need to be on minimum or you will have very different results!

P.S Iv'e read thread especially all of his comments few times!

Regards!

Ok here we go..
First of all trading the BRN is higher risk...
Now the question: would I trade the BRN like the GU earlier..

the answer:
it depends... on what..

- was the level tested before
- are there any support levels nearby
- is the pair moving nicely in sync with other pairs
- is the pair moving in a nice down trend
- how has been my trading week/month so far
- am I willing to take the risk for a possible loser..

to answer your question..

would I have taken the entry this morning, based on the 1H strategy?

probably the first one yes, the second one not..

hope that answers your question

cheers

I agree with you but there is only 5 pips difference beetwen Udine and mine entry and we look at support and resistance as zone not exact pips so i think there is no much difference and just want to know Udine's thought regarding this!

Hi Udine, haven't posted in the thread for a few days but I'm doing very well. Up 17.47% in ~2 weeks.
Quick question involving the i-profit tracker. Is there a way to make it calculate how much % you've gained on the account from a day to day basis?
Currently it's saying I'm up 2.11% for the day but that 2% is on my original deposit, and I was hoping to calculate it using continuous compouding if that makes any sense?

example:

Deposit 1000
day 1: 1020 = 2% gain
day 2: 1040.40 = 2% gain (on previous 1020)
day3: 1061.208 = 2% gain (on previous 1040.4)

Rather than:

Deposit 1000
day1: 1020 = 2% gain
day2: 1040 = 2% gain (on initial 1000)
day3: 1060 = 2% gain (on initial 1000)
