Thanks for this thread. It looks like the sort of strategy that appeals to me,simple but profitable. I have read 31 pages to date and intend to start demoing after I have read more. Where can I get the indicator shown in all your charts in Indicator Window 1
Wishing you good health and good luck for the new year.

here is the indicator Victor

let me try and help you out here. your initial target was 8259. See attached chart. I have drawn in your target with orange line. Now once that pin broke it was very likely that price would go to the lows of the bar, 4 bars earlier (marked in blue) and it would have been wise to take action when price reached there. By action I mean take full profit/partial profit/do something. on the positive side at least you got our for b/e and didn't let price go all the way back down the pin that would have been criminal.

Trading into overhead resistance - the Orange line - a typical problem area hence Dutch's advice to be cautious/get out.:smart

blue area was first trouble area and a place where price was likely to stall before pushing through or pulling back. orange line was pocrels original target.

Sorry - Blue line (slappamaface)

Hmm...on second thoughts I think we're both right (treat both lines as containing a problem area/band)

 

[victorharbor]

Thanks pocrel

There is resistance up there but I feel my target was conservative enough that price could get back up there, I think Dutch's resistance area is a bit low

Price is making higher high's and now higher low's also we have support around the .8238 level

Anyway trade has been scratched so not a big deal

No other trades on the cards so will call it a day and head to the gym

the blue area I marked was what I call a 'first trouble area' this is the level at which price is likely to stall while the market decides what it is going to do. I wouldn't call it resistance per se as that would be misleading. Price may or may not go on to break through the blue level however at the very least I would expect it to react there and hang around a bit.

Not a very good response imo. Someone si trying to give you a reason why one of your trades failed. If you're not interested in why your trades fail and how to avoid them, then you've got no chance. All imo of course.

It's ok dude to be fair I have wound porcel up in the past about turning vendor. The guy sounds a good egg. He probably thought I was on the wind up again but I wasn't. A while back in the thread I was advising the edge was too small if any with pivots so I was going to illustrate why, but I don't know if I can be ar5ed. A year from now the demo account could be up 20% or down 20%. As strange as it may seem -20% would be the better result as that way a bigger blow up would be avoided in the future. One can only drop so many hints. Read some Taleb.

I thought that Dutch was trying to wind me up today so I did not bite to much so thats why I did nt give him a deserving response

And as for the trade it did not fail, I cut it for 0

but if I had let it run then it would have reached target 1

but as Dutch did point out I could have perhaps saved myself alot of draw down if I had watched for the resistance area above but sometimes you dont see everything when your in the heat of the battle (with my demo account as Dutch calls it )

Pocrel,

Ignore the haters. They are flocking to the thread as per the usual on t2w.

All the best,

Perfect example of this method on the 30min chart for EUR/JPY today. Pin bar developed at 8:30am and hit the target of S1 by 10am.

Brilliant.

Sorry been away skiing in Switzerland so been neglecting the journal and now travelling in Asia till end of the month so not ideal for my trading but I will be posting even if its the dead of the night when I get a chance in the coming week

Currently up 2.5% after 25 trades, still to small a sample for any real analysis but at least we are not down

Evening from Sydney, watching the forex markets for signals, perhaps a pull back in euro dollar for a long is the only thing on the cards at the moment very little else going on for the system
