Hello Mr. Pip

Your last lesson was once again priceless. Unfortunately I was not able to join live. Overall I have learned a lot from your posts and videos and I am very happy for your continuous support. I am in the process of leaving forex and moving to futures through NJ like you do. I have seen the options regarding brokers through NJ and I would appreciate your opinion on this. More specifically NJ provide either Dorman or Philip capital. Even though I have done my research, your opinion will certainly add value in my decision making process. Thank you in advance for the help.

What is rotation? I'm confused... Is it the same as the "bullish engulfing" and "bearish engulfing" patterns? Any of the patterns below? rotation.jpg;2156908 {image}
I'm no expert but from the video lessons I understand rotation in the following way.
When you want to enter on a retracement for a new expectation you want the timing to be as accurate as possible.
The bar by bar video was really helpful here. Basically, in an uptrend example, the bears must show some sign of exhaustion, meaning they lose strength (less volume bars and momentum, decreasing pitch and increasing depth and decreasing projection on approach to your area of interest).
Then once the bulls come into the market with decision you often see a rotation candle with good volume (greater volume than bear bars on approach) and most importantly you don't want to see price trading below the open of the bullish candle because then it means there are still some sellers and could take price lower.

Very slow morning trying to trade the Dax cash.
Market is still in an upward direction at the moment so I was looking for long positions.
Entered after bullish bar at 50% retrace and the support of the lows from 8am.

Market was moving very slow so as it pushed above the 11870 I protected my position as neither bulls or bears looked that strong and could reverse very easily.
Stopped out as price fell back which is fine it was that slow I had lost confidence in price pushing higher.

{quote} Do you mean the whole leg is giving us a clue or just the way it reacted in the magenta rectangles?
x3, Sorry for the late response!

the first magenta rectangle (area) shows that price failed to go higher. After that price 'took out 2 of the HL's. And yes there was a long at the trend line reaction

hope this helps

trade well
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!

No problem. I appreciate your posts very much.

Yes the reaction at the TL was very tempting but it wasn't a valid entry according to my rules.

I'm sorry Traders that I did not have an opportunity to catch up yesterday these last couple of weeks have been real shitty for me with this killer cold and having to care for my wife in the last few weeks of her pregnancy. I will do my best to catch up today. But I want to encourage you to keep posting I will get to it. I'm about 5 pages behind on questions and hopefully ZI will be able to knock that out some time today.

Today's zone are all based on yesterday's action. We are in no man's land and the both bears and bulls are being aggressive. Let's see what happens today. No real schedules volatility today bias for the day based on expectations is bullish but with serious caution as the bears are piling up you may see me trade against the expectation today. I will wait for the open and see whats is resting.

interesting your approach here. I'm thinking to go long at the second S zone if market makes it there. it coincides with a perfect 1/1 move down at a level which should hold...

I let the short signal pass to because I still don't have the information I need to make the decision. Might have lost the first opportunity but I'm ok with that
