Had to get away from HOLO for a bit. I don't want to frustrate myself over nuances. I believe I am looking too deeply into what really are very simple rules for engagement (in HOLO), but then I see a post that says use only H1, and poof~ I am lost. So, with this, 1-2-3, I am following Posts 1 through about post 20, and it is simple. I like the sequential mini charts TooSlow posted with his (badgering?) questions to thread viewers. "Do you take profit"? "Will it go higher?" "Will it go lower?" Next thing you know...you are trading on emotion....
Your mind is still full.
Sit.
Be quiet.
Calm down.
Watch.
Observe.

I won't be spending quite as much time over here as I am doing the challenge over on hi lo. And of course I'm under tremendous pressure with all that responsibility.

Here are a couple of examples I was talking about on an earlier post in the thread.

This GJ is still active to trigger a trade it opened at 142.213 and went straight down but never got a new low. Now it is moving back up and may trigger a long.

This GU by contrast did trigger right from the get go at .2146.7 and fell fractionally short of 5 pips at 2151.1 . Then went down and posted a new low stop out.

And the GJ did end up triggering and I took it, I took 80% off at +10 as it moved fast. Now just sitting in the rest of it hoping for a runner but it is hard to say on this one. It is well below the break out low of last Friday so may continue lower, time will tell. The GJ is always a source of endless entertainment.

Do the 1-2-3 rules make mention of it?

Although 1-2-3 and HOLO are connected by FX-DNA, you should keep them completely separate in your mind. HOLO rules are HOLO rules and 1-2-3 rules are...well, you get the picture.

1-2-3 rules are simplicity itself. A series of questions. If 'a' happens, do 'b'. If 'b' happens, do 'c'. That's the beauty in the method.

Yes, really simple method. I got 3 losses and 0 winners today. First loss AUDUSD 6 pips, second loss NZDUSD 5.4 pips, and third loss USDJPY 8.6 . So for today -20 pips.

You are new and you are trying to juggle 3 pairs?
During the learning process, you must minimize the variables.
Only trade ONE PAIR until you have mastered the basics.
You will know you have mastered the basics when you are profitable and do not struggle.

Yes, it happens. You could just as easily have been Tom with three wins. Them's the breaks.
