Quoting thedaytrader
Today I am trading 2 Short bounce points and 2 Long Bounce Points Short Side : 3323.70, 3326.07 Long Side : 3311.42, 3300.48 All have the default 1.5 point SL, with EA chasing it when in trade :-)
man do you just trade bounce points as i understand like the previous prices where price made a stop and either changed the diercation or continued the existing trend???

{quote} {image} here is something that you might want to see {quote} the thinner the zone the low probablitiy it is but higher the profitablity the bigger the zone the harder to get entry but good probablity and good profitablity
That looks obvious, I was curious how these are calculated...

Yes, 1hr and 4hr fractals... Always short from the top (low fractal) and long from the bottom (up fractal)...

My fixed (max) SL (1.5 points) exited at the last tick, before reversing... very edgy today :-)

What do you mean by that ?
For example last trade was Short at 3326.07 and SL at 3327.57... what are you suggesting ?

I am also trying to get good at headging

what i mean by that is.......putting a buy and a sell at the same time if the trades goes against you and hit your sl of your main trade where you thought you have and edge .......in this case

your thought was it will go down from 3326 and sl at 3327.57 you lost for 1.5 points.......

but if you would have put a buy and sell at the same time and if it goes to your opposite side you have a buy covering for your sell loss.......so when your initail sl is about to hit you close the both buy and sell ...so you will only lose your spread and commisions..........

and on the other hand you can hold both of these for as long as possible till the price come at your cost and possibly start to show signs that it will go into your initial desired side .so you clsoe the buy seeing the sell momentum and you are in profit..........

but if your trade goes into profit at the start what do you do you close the buy position with some loss and keep the sell position running till the oter bounce point

if you don't get it you know where to go ..

Thanks for your detailed explanation of it... I don't think it makes mathematical sense to do that, as it will only result in brokerage/spread loss (x2).. there is never a good reason to buy and sell at the same time (unless you are arbitraging across brokers/instruments)...

Very difficult for me to do something which doesn't make sense

Say u open Buy and Sell together, there are 3 possibilities:
1. You will close both at some point (brokerage/spread loss)
2. You will close buy at some point (book buy loss, with sell profit/loss open)
3. You will close sell at some point (book sell loss, with buy profit/loss open)

In all the cases its better if you enter (ur desired position buy/sell) at that "some point"...
