{quote} Hi Hal It seems trading is going well, however nobody post`s a chart showing a loss, very strange.
Hi sugarman. You will see losses here, however because of the nature of the 1-2-3 set-up, we will cut that loss and re-enter on the next trigger. Because of this, a quick scan of the charts will not seem to include losses but they are simply part of the overall process.

It's also true that both Hal and I (and TS of course) have kind of honed this now to the stage where we can see the more likely set-ups and we actually don't lose that much.

I will also counter-trade if something goes really badly wrong but I don't show those here, as (a) it's not part of how TS runs his method and (b) hedging / countering is only available to traders outside of the USA. This is an advanced technique and I don't feel it would do any good to show it here.

{quote} At times you have to be quite quick. I often will set an audio alert. In the case of this GJ it turned pretty fast the other way and I was fortunate. Other times I happen to be on the right bar and it can keep going and going....
Energizer bunny, nice.

Thank you for the info. Though I was referring more to your speedy entry.

I'm working on setting up mt4 for my broker. The current platform, not so good. That should improve my accuracy. Right now I'm bouncing between my brokers charts and my old FXCM charts.

Lawman this might illustrate what you were referring to with my quick entries. In this case I got burned on my first entry on the EU today. Generally I wait a bit to see if I am getting the type of price movement I am looking for. I won't go into that because it would take a dissertation. In this instance I waited and had I made the entry right when it crossed the open I would have gotten my 5 pip target. Instead I entered late and got stopped out -10. I did reenter on the next hour and was able to get my target on this entry and I did go right in from the signal. Again you have to be careful in doing this sometimes because you may be dealing with the start of a train in the other direction. Hope this is not too confusing and sheds some light.

Thank you. What I gather from this is the need for experience!

After the first hour of London open I had 8 of 9 pairs post profits in that hour. I chose one that didn't because I hesitated. Trading can be tricky at times, but educational in the same respect.

I might add, sometimes that same hesitation has prevented a loss.

In my limited experience, there is going to be some part of this that is discretionary.

Dang it, forgot to move my limit on the GU runner and closed the 20% @ 30 pips. I guess I can't complain about profit.

Speaking of hesitation, I didn't jump into the EU move because I'd already setup the GU. It just shot North!

Yeah I was just too early on that EU trade and look at it now... it is what makes trading so much fun
+30 on the GU decided to switch from 10 to a 20 trailer now...

Yeeha! Got one, lol...

Stumbled onto this as I ran over my charts for the day (eventually). Always good for some mid-day moves. Don't know how long-lived it's going to be, as there still seems to be a bit of room above. We'll see.
