Hello Mr. Pip, With reference to your advanced pattern guide posted earlier, I was wondering if you could clarify what sort of BC extension you are looking at for Point D on the Butterfly, the Crab and the Bat (on the Gartley I believe it is ...

Thanks for the comments; it's very helpful to see what somebody else sees when looking at the same chart. The R:R is a valid point... it was low, but thankfully it paid off. With the benefit of hindsight, I could have ridden it all the way down to ...

I keep up to date with the thread, but I haven't posted for some time. In an effort to keep some momentum going, I'll post up a trade I made today for discussion. It was an Aggressive C, which I entered late (wasn't at the computer). This had the ...

I think I know the source of the confusion... Mr. Pip had previously confirmed that "88.6" was a misprint in Criteria 2 of his ROE, and it should read 78.6%. Here is the link to the post

Excellent work. Is your conclusion regarding the failure of 78.6% retracements common across the time frames you have tested? For example, I have noted that significantly more patterns fail on M1 than M15. However, I don't have your empirical ...

I'm very much looking forward to seeing your results - it sounds like you've been very thorough in your data collection and analysis. I had intended to start a trading journal, but for some reason I can't get the FF trade explorer to register any of ...

√0.618 = 0.786 ... √0.786 = 0.886 I'm not sure about 0.944... but √0.886 comes close.

Definitely some good observations there. I look forward to your trading journal update (I follow both yours and Starry's quite regularly)

Probably because it was flawed - I got stopped out at break even
The first chart was my logic for entering, and how the trade panned out. The second chart is why I believe the trade failed. BE is better than a loss, and I'm slightly wiser as a ...Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

The first couple of weeks I was very happy with the results of trading Aggressive C. However, this week has been abysmal. During this brief period of maybe 3-4 weeks, I have learnt that blindly entering at 61.8 / 78.6 has burnt me more times than it ...

Regarding the earlier discussion about pending orders... In the brief time that I've been trading this style, pending orders have caused far more loss than profit for me. It is frustrating to come back and see I missed an entry by a couple of ...

To further what foxybunny has stated, when placing the SL I believe consideration must also be given to the size of the swing you are dealing with.
