and yet another tough day ended up flat on day where are the big ranging days of old
Don't worry H. Your good days seem to far outweigh the bad and teaches us all that we have to take the good with the bad. Providing, that overall, we have more good than bad days over time :-)

-6-6, +5+13, +5+1, -4-4 (too slow to cancel last trade as 123 formed against it) = 4 ticks tadaaaa (bear in mind I needed +8 to cover commissions) !

These last couple of weeks, simple 123s and 2b entries caught a lot more good trades.... (I'll probably have to take an EW class with Mr CG to work out how to filter them... ).... but seriously, I am going to "sensibly reintroduce". Edit : market's just gone up 80+ ticks and come all the way back down : on the table...

It'll all improve when H dumps the trading room; please allow me to explain why, for which I will adopt my alter ego, "Heisenberg" (aka Walter White) :

When a quantum "observer" is watching, quantum mechanics states that particles can also behave as waves. ... In other words, when under observation by a trading room full of 100 traders, NQ electrons are being "forced" to behave like particles and not like waves. Thus the mere act of observation negatively affects our trading !

For the Breaking Bad fans amongst us :

(Lordy, it's only Tuesday afternoon & I'm losing it already...)

Edit2 : how was it in the room today, please ?

Fwiw, i totally agree. Knowing that you are trading for 100 others affects fluidity in subtle ways.

I think you may need a certain number of posts before you can pm others.... and for those who have pm'd me, I'm not in the room this week and do not have the link - sorry.

{quote} 20 and 50 exponential we had some very nice setups on the DAX as I said I think my entries would be about the same as Divergence's but for different reasons I wont post anymore of my trades as I think u get the picture and I don't want to hijack the thread and I'm keen to learn more about Divergences methodology {image}

So looks like your basically buying the dips and selling the wave tops. A 123 setup seems to be three candles and one candle moving up. Or something...I've watched the Harold's videos he talked about the 123 and 2b. But I think I need to find the example in writing.

Ok In todays video harold says that this current setup, the last couple of candles is a 123 setup.

Before someone points out the obvious difference in the charts, i will post the correct labelling with different coloured 123's to make it more obvious! The size and timescales are slightly different and that is all! {image}

Ok so a 123 move is just when the chart goes up "1" then back down "2" and back up again ''3''

I'm kind of new to Harold's strategy I came her from Clive's ABCD thread. I watch all the live webinars, since today is Wednesday going to re-watch some old one today.

David : I have made some comments of your last chart. I could say more but then it gets messy : for example, the first 123 I write "Not a 123"... you could mark a 123 in the opposite direction; the second one is, well, stand in the corner and think about it ;-))) Your 2bs are "interesting" : : the 2/27 one is the only one I would begin to consider. I don't mean to be harsh, I'm chuckling away to myself as I post ... (& of course many might disagree with my opinion) {image}
Thanks JT.. I don't mean to ask very simple questions but I am still new to this 123 thing. And am very much eager to learn.

On your comment "not a 123" why doesn't it count as one? Point 1 = HH; Point 2 = HL; Point 3 = Not a HH (broke previous bar's high)

Thanks for the explanation on the 2B.

Quoting The Cableguy
{quote}David - the 123 that is marked on the chart is about as perfect a shape and scale as you will find, there is only one thing missing and that is that point 2 of a 123 ideally should break out of the prior channel. I can see that leg 3 of the 123 in the chart is clearly in 3 minor waves (abc) and this can be construed as a tiny 123 in itself.
Thank you CG! Can't wait to read to all of your posts as well as your own thread. Just haven't found the time. Thanks a bunch
