{quote} If you can hedge I can summarize what Billy has said. If that is okay with you Billy! All for education, I am not giving instruction. TRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wish I could do this A. Trade #1 - entry has triggered at 100 short looking for +5. B. Trade #1 - price has moved to 120 and you are now -20. C. Trade #2 - enter long at 120. This HOLDS the overall LOSS at -20. D. Trade #3 - entry has triggered at 175 long. Trade #1 and #2 are still running. E. Hunt the modest range, or until in overall profit, up to you. Hope this...

The hard part, what I am getting slowed by, is developing a capital management overview and specific position size strategy, but ALAS we have Google and many helpful friends

{quote} Hello SB, wannalearn posted a good answer to your question. To counter my method , 1st you need good stats and a big bank roll (or enough to cover trade ranges) My exact method isnt explained 100% as it has been sold and i do not want to breach copy write. A clue is gross profit versus net profit. My trades are based on +10 and me taking +5. Sometimes i take more and some times i do several trades using retrace. I then only need 5%. Remember what i say, In a war we might win a battle but we will still have casualties, and i mean no disrespect...
As I said to wannalearn ... I'm still fighting with inner demon ... I always think too much....

What is there to think about?

You know when to enter.
You know where to place your stop loss.
You know when to move your stop loss to BE+1.

Hi guys. I just wanted to add a couple of words here if that's ok.

Now, bear in mind that I didn't come into this game yesterday and considered myself to be pretty battle-hardened. However, my problem was that having come from much longer time-frame trading, the feeling of entering a trade is completely different. Coming down the time-frames had meant that I had had to pull all of that experience under-fire together to handle any trigger-pulling jitters, or heaven forbid, the dreaded yips that reared their ugly head.

As such, one of the most helpful pieces of advice I have ever heard when it comes to this style of trading came from Billy himself - who said that he goes into every first trade (of a sequence) expecting to lose - and it's the counter where the money is made. Think about that and repeat it at your leisure...he goes into every first trade (...) expecting to lose.

One of the first things I found when I started on The Dead Zone (HOLO was fine as I had used methods similar to HOLO before) was that initial moment that inevitably happens when you are trading a line - price immediately goes back over that very line. The heart would lurch, the pulse quicken and the sweat flow. No matter how much I tried not to think about it, I was sitting on the edge of my seat until price made up its mind - as it always does. Not good...and a totally alien and unwelcome state of mind for me. (...and not in a good way, lol).

THEN, I started taking what Billy said to heart - and I swear...the sense of genuine peace, yes peace that that mindset brings is immense.

Combining that with a complete faith in the method and a knowledge that the numbers don't lie makes for an amazingly composed style of trading.

Give it a try. See what happens.

None of that happens to me.
A trade is only a trade.
Yelling at the screen on occasion to let out the frustrations.
Only to wind up laughing at myself.

Looks good.

Here's my starting chart for the day at Frankie open. Been in a range for 12 hours or so looking for a break of the t/l and the 50 and the obvious support then down. Nothing new. But it is Friday 13 and it could go up !!!! Whatever there will be some selling opportunity during the day.

I get asked quite a lot why I just seem to sell g/u. Go look at the monthly there's a big big target not so far away.

Trade well all.
