DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016When you estimate the profit target for an entry (btw profit targets are more important then entries themselves) you take several things into consideration: 1) candle closes above key pivotal lines (trendlines/support/resist) 2) DO NOT watch price ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016It's hitting .670 as we speak
but don't react to that
Trading on hammer setups is sometimes painful since hammers alone are unreliable, but today's close above 4 last days' close/open is another reason to go for long. SL size is also ...Price action and pattern trading

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016Here is the magnified setup, and why I'm taking it. I'm not in a hurry, it can close much higher, I will still take it. Every trade is a risk and you need to accept that - no need to rush in. It's better to risk based on your system than to rush ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016Ill watch it closely, especially when it closes. Your entry on demo looks good, but maybe a little premature. Today's candle's close above last 4 candles close would indicate a possible reversal of this significant downswing. I'll probably take the ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016You have drawn fibos - assuming this was the finished downswing - it may not be like that. If this is not a bounce which will produce a reversal, then these fibos are more less useless. Alos try to look at the large picture here, especially the TP ...

SL at lowest low of the hammers, TP as in picture. Close above the black trendline indicates and validates the potential trade as a successful one. I'm not a fan of entering ...Price action and pattern trading

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016That's why I like daily charts at the moment (no time cuz of work and university) - and there are very few entries statistically (based on my system) - but when it happens it is usually 1:7+ P/L ratio. Don't ever let the live price action get the ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016Nothing special there, or in any way complicated. todays USD/CAD downswing bounced off 50% line of the last upswing...it is most common bounce - I have no idea whether it will hold or no, but when you draw trendlines, you get a clearer perspective. ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016Here's just my thoughts from a daily perspective on USD/CAD - don't let this affect your trading in any way - you know what I mean. I "missed" yesterday's and today's downswing, there simply wasn't a pattern on that top reliable enough for me to ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 21, 2016Very nice decision. Scale it out, or trail it if you can. Let yourself ride the position as much as you can - while at the same time retaining the 100% "possibility" of taking the profit - no matter how large it is.

DemoAntares replied Jan 20, 2016Another way to protect your profit (partially) is to set trailings as soon as you are deep in the green. Trailing will enable you to take profit in 100% of cases - and at the same time they will allow for you to ride the position to max profit. Of ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 20, 2016Use everything you know. But in the end it's all about support/resist. But yeah sometimes it's difficult, specifically in USD/CAD for example - somehow we're in an uncharted territory - that 1.6 top was long time ago... Fibos should be placed on ...

DemoAntares replied Jan 20, 2016Same here - I like to toss a glance to it occasionally but in general if it is a correct trade - for me it's either triggered stop loss or achieved profit target. No inbetween. Of course, profit targets are reasonable and always consist of taking ...
