Hi Spookie, thanks for the nice example. Got you point!

Thank you Mike. Yes the only way is to try all kinds of approaches. I think too now. I will do my backtests and demo with this. Thanks!

Thank you very much! I carefully read your above post while checking it with my charts. I think I understand the idea and the mechanics of it. Now I need to formulate it for myself and apply it to those 44 trades - to really grasp the method. I will ...

Gejordan, please don't say that you are annoying or bug me. Maybe it was my tone that made you think so. English is not my native language and when I am in a hurry to write down my thoughts I forget the proper way to express myself ! I really see ...

I need to sit and carefully apply your style to fully understand it. Thank you very much for your advice and help. I will go today through all this charts and tell you the result. Just to make sure I understand correctly to do the test: 1) Entry at ...

I see the edit. Yes some trade will go very nice. But the problem is that I never know will it go or not, and in some point I need to exit to realize profit... This is not that easy to do.. I mean to hold... and how to hold with initial stop behind ...

Yes good question, of course I was thinking about holding for long term too, and still keep it in mind, but how to it correctly. For example. Sept 2010 (trade #1), bullish continuation BUOB it made it to the next BRN then come back and went lower. ...

Hi Fxpat, sorry missed your post. Yes this also sounds logical to me. I was thinking about the same way too. But more like Jarroo does this (net breakeven). But my problem was always which one method to take, like Ghous show those fast and "secure" ...

Hi John, yes that was actually first approach I tried. Because it really sounds logical. I had my SL behing setup bar, Pinbar for example, then I would move my SL behind left eye, or behind BRN etc... however, as I noticed many many times price ...

Thanks Gejordan, I got the idea. I need to sit and think about it. So basically I enter half on the brake and enter the other half after pullback, if no pullback happens I just take my profits from half of the position.... and if the pullback ...

Hey TJ, thank you very much for your advice! You know by reading your post I think I see a little light and a possible solution. I really tried to oversimplify everything to one simple solution!!! Kind of this or that only... But what if, just like ...

james16 Chart Thread

Thanks Gejordan for your support! To be honest at the moment I think about these two ways to do it: 1) SL behind setup bar (behind BUOB). Exit full at FTA (and hope my win rate will be high). 2) SL behind setup bar (behind BUOB). Move to be after ...

Yes Greenhaze, I saw that post long ago, I read all of his posts. This part: "You'll find that many of your best trades are going to be one off events where some little voice in your head says you should take it. You heard that voice when you took ...

Hi Gejordan, thank you very much for your advice. I will really need to take time and think about this. I read you post very carefully. At this moment I feel that taking a pullback trades will not suit me well. I did that in past with really not ...

Also, Ifmy, here is the chart where FTA should be. First Trouble Area, many times I see traders just ignore it (because the RR would be so super small it is not worth taking it) but ignoring it doesn't mean it is not there. One may say that FTA is ...

Hey Kal, I agree for James (in regards to simplicity) but not for Jarroo's method. Do you really find Jarroo's mehod simple? I think it is the hardest one to master really...

james16 Chart Thread

Hi Ifmy, thanks for reply. Where was your FTA can you clarify please? EDIT: Oh sorry!!! I was looking at the other open tab the totally different chart lol! I got it!!! Yes it hit its FTA, but sometimes even this kind of setups will fail, and ...
