you need some way to filter the ones you are going to trade. set ups are a dime a dozen. many are conflicting..... i like using trend lines. this can be subjective but powerful. i use them to indicate failed break outs. i think it best, if you are new to him, trade only second signals [especially if you are trading a reversal], though in a fairly strong trend, if you are trading with the trend.... you can trade the first signal. if you ask questions about specific trades i have posted i can be more specific. Brooks also says that the clearer set ups are more likely to be counter trend, and be a trap.... so i sometimes just wait for the trap to be sprung.....and get an entry
sold this is what Brooks says to wait for: second entries. safer. did not listen to him should not have taken last trade.
