Phillip Nel replied May 8, 2008Yes, but remember that RB trades are countertrend/move trades and have a higher risk as TC,ZB and BOZ. Money management is very important on a RB/RT trade. Just be very cautious when trading RT/RB

Phillip Nel replied May 7, 2008Hard work — You can give an expert a weak system and he will still manage something out of it, or you can give a good system to a nonexpert and he will ruin it. It all depends on the person if he wants to make it works. If it works for you I ...

Phillip Nel replied May 7, 2008Backtesting — The answer is in the backtesting. When doing backtesting to see if the system works you dont take news into account. So that means that for the system to work it means that it must supports news. Therefore I only stay away from ...

Phillip Nel replied May 7, 200821Ema — Hi. The 21ema was also broken and that made me look if there was some sort of supp lower down and then I saw that Supp line. Therefore I was waiting for a pullback to the TL and not the 21ema(as it pulled back to 21ema as well)

Phillip Nel replied May 7, 2008Good — Good anticipation. The 365 I felt was not going to be of importance as there was some other supp and res lines and MA's closeby. It worked out for me.

Phillip Nel replied May 7, 2008EurUsd — EurUsd pulled back to breakout level and then move down with nice bearish candle and TC on 1H. Typical of the rhythm that was taught. A bit advanced but it was there. Target reached(closest low as target). +30pip

Phillip Nel replied May 6, 2008GbpUsd — If I was'nt in the EurUsd trade I would have done this one. (Closed EurUsd at 1.5574 for Average gain of (20+50)/2 = +35). Look at the emotion involved with the graph. It is begging to be traded. Edit 1 +25 allready so BE was worst ...

Phillip Nel replied May 6, 2008Breakeven — With a tail like that I expected the price to move much quicker to at least 25-30pips gain. When it stayed between 1.5500 and 1.5520 for some time I decided to close 50% after 15-20pips. Price has retraced but I still favour the ...

Phillip Nel replied May 6, 200812:00 Candle — EurUsd I have to believe in the system. That tail tells me the odds may be good. Stoploss I have set 33 pips down as I believe the tail has done the damage. The reason for the trade is I like trading tails at the right place. ...

Phillip Nel replied May 6, 2008Retracement entry and 1H early entry — The Retracement entry like today on GbpUsd if the price went down more than 15-20 pips I will not look for a retracement anymore. It has to retrace very short after the previouse candle close. The early ...
