    So are you still trading the 123 system or?

    you have misunderstood when i said method i did not mean trading method i meant accounting method that i used to determine that i was not profitable

    you could say yes because 123 is nothing but a break out and a breakout which actually confirms the lower high in case of a sell or a higher low in the case of buy

  4. I think you are the one that misunderstood me. What I meant is: what method did you use to know that you are profitable? I don't think it's possible to know in just 5 days. "Accounting" method you say? How does that work - your account has more money than 5 days ago so you are profitable?

    I might misunderstand you but if you say you are looking for a lower high to sell and a higher low to buy, isn't that more like a reversal system instead of breakout?

    i am actually trading something more basic: the nature of the market is that it trends or ranges so i trade accordingly. buy low sell high when it is in a range and buy high sell higher and vice versa in a trend
    This is not as simple as it seems-the market is not simple-because you do have conditions that are in between such as ranging up trend and a trend in a range
