Valid long entry ? plz share your thoughts {image}
Hi Dridzz,

This would be aggressive. TDI crossing but candle is live I think?

I do not see OHLC. It's good to see this on your chart.

Risks:

countertrend
not crossed 5EMA shift
buy into previous structure
VB expending down and MBL starting to slope down

I'd like to discuss this a bit further. Never use any Martingale. From wikipedia: "A martingale is any of a class of betting strategies that originated from and were popular in 18th century France. The simplest of these strategies was designed for a game in which the gambler wins his stake if a coin comes up heads and loses it if the coin comes up tails. The strategy had the gambler double his bet after every loss, so that the first win...
Hi Tibovwh,

edit this part:
Fixed fractional lotsize based on 0.5% (= 25€ // we cannot trade with 300pips SL with less)

first entry: 1 lot - hard SL: 300pips - 27€ risk ~ 0.5%
second entry: 1 lot - hard SL: 250pips - 22.5€ risk ~ 0.5%
third entry: 1 lot - hard SL: 200pips - 18€ risk ~ 0.4%
fourth entry: 2 lot - hard SL : 150pips - 27€ risk ~ 0.5%
fifth entry: 3 lot - hard SL: 100pips - 27€ risk ~ 0.5%

total risk = 121€ (=2.5%)
5*0.5% risk = 25€
avg ep = between third and fourth entry


for those using ME/ME this is good way to manage your risk.
thanks again for sharing this information.

Hi Meihk,

Thanks for taking the time to digest my post. I'm not sure if this needs editing, however.

With this 300pips SL and an account of 5K€ we can only trade 1 lot risking 0.5% of equity.

5000€*0.005 = 25€
(0.1/1.1€)*300 = 27€

So 5 Entries risking 0.5% would be 2.5% => 125€

In this case our risk (based on our hard SL) is always approximatly what we set it up to be (ignoring some rounding).

I think my reasoning is correct. Or am I making a mistake somewhere?

Best

I like your trades!

Only thing I'm thinking is that London has closed and perhaps not the best time to open a trade. But certainly potential

Hi Emmanuel,

regarding ME/ME... some pages ago you said you will follow your ME/ME rules until the D1 setup is no more valid. What do you consider as "no more valid": only TDI cross or changing direction, too (as in picture below) ?

Hi,

based on your chart, a TDI setup in the opposite direction will invalidate the sell setup on D chart.

but if you look at Weekly, the TDI is still sell, so we must watch the D1 carefully.

Update.

50 pips profit, still counting. SL moved to +25, target 77 pips.

Any thoughts?

P.s. I have to set an automatic TP as I won't be able to check the position when the next H4 candle opens.
