Reason for taking 25 pages?
Did it take you that long to empty your mind of concepts having nothing to do with this method?
Was it too simple to believe?

simplistic

  1. treating complex issues and problems as if they were much simpler than they really are.

simple

 

  1. easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.


Since you gave thanks, it is doubtful your intention was to insult.

​Simple, yes.
Simplistic, no.

Trading itself is simple.
Some traders make trading complex and complicated.

{quote} Hi Mizi, you can trade this strategy at any time of the trading day. I am in Australia, You are in Japan, TooSlow is in America(I think). We all can't be awake for the whole 24 hours, but this strategy allows anyone, at any time of the trading day, wherever they might live, to trade this strategy. If the conditions are right, then you can trade. If they are not, then you don't. It's that simple. This chart shows only one chance for the trading day to enter. It happened during the Asian session. No other opportunity was given to enter a trade...
Hi Mike i want just one clarification about area of interes to wich you refer: The idea behinde these is just to track the candels and if they dont breck the daily H or L depen on situation we enter trade right?

Hi Mizi,Yes that is right(if I understand your question correctly).
The reversals can happen on any candle at any time of the day. You may get a setup that fits the rules on any candle during the day.

You may have a setup that fits the rules when we get an M15 or M5 candle OPEN in our area of interest. But if price then rises, and creates a new Daily High, then we delete the trade, as this is considered a breakout.(trade reversals from breakouts with caution) So we just wait for the next H1 candle to open, and we start the process again.

We don't know which one will be a big move.....some reversals may be short moves.....some may be big moves......but if we follow the rules, then with most of the short moves, we will be at B/E + 1, so no loss.

That's one of the important things in trading, and you probably know it, but a key factor in being successful, is simply to limit your losses. Then the winners will take care of themselves when they come along.

TooSlow had provided the rules that allow us to trade this strategy in a way that really does limit our losses.
As he has said, B/E + 1 should put a smile on your face, because it is not a loss. It is, in fact, a win(though only 1 pip), but even a 1 pip, or 5 pip win is much, much better than taking a loss.

And when you think about it, all those 1 pip or 5 pip wins will add up. And if you do take a loss, these little wins along the way will help to keep those overall losses minimal.
I hope that helps. Cheers

Yes, MichaelG, you are correct.
After one can profitably trade this method by following the rules, then and only then, should they abandon the rules if they so desire.
Any trade entered in the "area of interest" has the potential to be a winner.
The closer you enter to the daily high or daily low, the more pips you can bank.
And the tighter your stop.
Any entry method can be deployed in the "area of interest".

The entry shared in this thread has proved to be profitable and less risky.
As previously stated, the hardest part of this method is waiting.
You must overcome your desire to jump into the action.

As you gain experience using this method, you will begin to "sense" the market.
You will know when to dance and when to sit one out.

Hello TooSlow and MichaelG

Could you please explain where is the trade set up on the chart in my post 2832 originally posted by TooSlow?
Probably my eyes are not trained enough to spot what TooSlow wanted to say by posting that chart.

Yes I agree with you. The hardest part of this system is to WAIT.

Just a curiosity:
How many pairs are you trading?
How many setups are you having per day?

Regards
Merka

Thanks TooSlow.
I think you have described it best when you say.....
First, you must learn to crawl.....
Learn the rules.....know how to trade using ONLY the rules.....nothing more, nothing less.

Learn to walk....
Once you have mastered trading according to the rules, then it will become second nature, and the setups will jump off the chart at you.

Learn to run or dance....
After you have mastered this strategy, you will begin to get a feel for situations/setups that may not be "quite" according to the rules, but your earned experience tells you that it is still a good setup. (bending the rules)

But you have to learn to crawl first....One move at a time....have patience. Learn patience. Learn to crawl first because it will make you a much better dancer. Cheers

If an M15 candle opened in area of interest and candle A didn't print a new TODAY LOWEST H1 OPEN. Is it valid setup?

TooSlow, in connection to your answer to Merka's question, do you mean after the 6 bar candle went down a bit and created a wick, that is where you have enter long? Its just about half of a pip.

Check this out and compare to post 1 rules:

Place a line at the highest H1 open and lowest H1 open for the current day.

Sell short at the highest H1 open after price goes up through it and comes back down.

Should have added this, my bad.

Notice the word CURRENT.

Stop loss is the current daily high or current daily low.

That may be your rule, but not the rule from post 1. It says:
