Nicely done, H.

One thing I really like about this method is that if we take a regular 123, then we have to expect a test of our entry level, which is inevitably stressful, whereas with this method, that retest IS our entry point (slightly better, in fact). It also means we are justified in moving our stop to b/e relatively early as a second retest is less likely to hold in our favour.

Btw, I am using a 9 tick preset stop - I have not yet found it to be too little.

The issue of "when to grab and when to hold" is an interesting one and a study in process...

unfortunately no john there was just a rise base rise mine was a pullback sometimes you get them like before and I don't and in this case I got it you don't so in the end we end up with the same profit just 2 different setups

{quote}you have to stick to game plan even if market shrinks
You're right about sticking to the game plan, but after pulling several orders as the market plummeted, I just took a plain vanilla 123 for 20 ticks and got the hell out of there. I do feel I should be making at least 5x this amount on a move like this, but what to do... I sure hope you all did better than me,,,

You were braver than me, 'ras, & so close to a big day : first trade was almost perfect... just stopped to the tick, second one would have worked if you'd left the previous order in at 5118.00 & I like that third trade.

"jt" and "eras" I'm looking at your trades, but still can't find the entry criteria for your trades (jt's 1st trade ; eras 3rd trade). What am I missing?

Harold, truly outstanding trading today!. If i may ask for your advice. If I do decide to prefer trading CL - I guess the tick charts will need some revision for myself. 233 is far to low for CL and maybe I 987 tick charts will work best? Would you say I am in the right thought process? Of course - I will do my own research and tests - however I would like to know your input from experience how you decided the 233 fibonacci number as your ssetting.
