when someone refers to "tight" stops......what is considered "tight"? I get the fact you probably have a larger stop in the higher TF's the lowest I usually trade is 4HR. I see some people risk as little 4 pips....all the way to 250 or even more. To be honest with my own trading I do much better with a larger stop to "let the trade breathe" but I'm wondering what others consider "tight"?
Tight stop is considered minimizing the equity % drawdown as small as possible and the profit as high as possible

You may use 10, 20, 100, 500 or 1000 pips stop loss as long as the equity % drawdown is acceptable as per your personal preferences

Spending my weekend trying to figure out gators methods. Tried before but failed. I see this but i don't know why.. If anyone has any interest in explaining it to me, just pm. In the mean time i go reproduce gators numbers on my charts to see what i can find. thanks. {image} {image}
Hmm.......... everyone is different ........ but the idea is to compartmentalize the price range ......

Say price range from 1 (0%) to 10 (100%)

5 being the MID 50%, current price is at 8.5 is more likely to hit 10 (100%) than to comeback to 5

Price break out out from 10 and currently is at 13 (130%), it's more likely it will go to 15 (150%) than going back to 8.5 etc etc

don't copy, this never works (thinking of music, it might work). i read that you have arrived at a certain feel level, "that you might be right in your trading plans, might have been right aso" - fade out of everything, ff, twitter whatever source but your chart(!), and do the trade. afterwards, make a synopsis with what had been written on the net. this is not a general recommendation, but maybe a lesson. i love this thread, excuse me for my weird posts!

{quote} its above several levels with a close. it's near that 1380,, it's been slapped down here before. either it's going to make a fresh new low 1.029x or less. or test 1.17..to test 1.7, it needs that HH and to be above 1380. this is what going to 1.1115 in november was about.. the bounce was what bears and bulls wanted.. bears to go lower and bulls to go higher. next week u may get a fresh long after 1.1100 ish.. it's probably safer than 1.17 directly. a short to 1.1100 may be the better safer trade near 1.1376 or 1380. could that have happened...
I have 1.0130 area for LL as PAPOF!! weekly 14/7//02, 3/11/02, and check on 8/12 /02, 15/12/02 22/12/02

Here i plotted gators levels from one message on a chart.
Gator said: 123.81 before 129.

I get the number which are the mids and mids of the mid of the complete wave.
But why does he think 123.81 before 129?

I do not know anything about the methods of the alligator, but my knowledge and calculations of waves (not to be confused with the Elliot Wave) get such values

{quote}The low I have on my fibs is a smaller swing within the much larger. I put fibs on every swing and try to get a match....
hi Pharmor
what is the lowest time frame which you will use when looking for swings? Is it the H1 - so 1 swing using the high of the day or you will be also looking for intraday swings on M15 for instance ?

Thanks

That proves that the TE can be fixed. No way Activtrades giving 500:1 on a two million account and I use ActivTrades and have done for many years so I know what they are willing to do

While this is a simple question there isn't a simple answer....

To keep it as simple as possible I put fibs on everything from 15M to Monthly, on single monthly candles and single daily candles sometimes

gators method can be used on any timeframe, but be prepared to be faked the lower you go
