    hi S,

    got two questions since I ve start restudying your thread.

    On the 2nd page you ve got a usd/cad DB trade. Right before this trade - I marked it in yellow - there is a DT trade. Am I correct? Was that a trade too?

    Also what does "t3" and "ssto" means?

    Thanks

    S,
    I was looking at this chart (attached). I can't see any divergence on the 2nd leg on the DT. Or am I wrong?
    I mean stochs on the 2nd leg are uptrend, and macd bars as well.
    So why did you short there?

    A,

    because it is a " roll n puke" setup.
    a shop exclusive.

    you are the first person out of 22,000 hits on this thread to inquire.....

    98% do not have the cajones to even post up.
    they are the fresh meat required for the game to continue.

    a db first to a dt
    the 2 boxes are marked
    a puke to the 4.2 or 5.7

    no diverge required....
    pure price action
    the bears win.

    look at your charts , go find a few hundred of them.

    the opposite setup also applies...
    dt then a db
    the buills win.
    a reverse puke trade.

    here is one in the opposite direction.

    entry at the bottom second leg and this one just happens to be diverged.

    this trade also happens to be a slingshot back to the money line.
    double the horse power.

    once it crosses the moneyline the 4.2 is the power leg

    the final 5.7 move after the retrace is a weak diverged leg up.


    cheers,

    S,
    I m trying to get in the 2%, even in the 5% (meaning by that winning constantly not millions but just making some good money to live). I hope I will one day.

    Today I made one trade on USD/CHF on a DB that worked and gave me 27 pips. I suppose I could get earlier on th .86 but I wait for macd bar to cross the zero line.

    I tried to do the same on Euro as well but it didn't work. I hit SL. I m not sure what I did wrong on the Euro since it was a clear divergence on the 2nd leg. I just suppose it was just one of those trades that do not always work. I m not sure how far I should place SL since Risk Reward could became quite big.

    I attach both trades. Any comments and advices are really welcome.

  8. A,

    look at the 3 ema lines and price relative to them.

    define the trend in your own words, using these 3 lines.
    define up
    define down


    one trade you were correct on and got paid.
    why.....?

    the other trade was against the trend.
    why......?

    i just realised that eur/usd chart was a 13bar range not a 3 bar range. I m not sure if that makes any difference (i dont think so).

    trend is quite easy to spot even without an ema. I mean it can only be up, down or range.
    What i had in mind was that when we re in downtrend we re looking for DB to go long and in an uptrend for DT to short.

    probably i need to study again on your charts. I ve missed something
