Trading Without a StopLoss

shellsnail replied Nov 24, 2013Yeah as I said, price falls through those orders as all the trades are executed and reaches empty pockets of air below. that's when you are left with a buy order that's "high" so i don't see how what you said differs from what I said.

shellsnail replied Nov 24, 2013What is high and what is low can change within minutes if support/resistance (block of orders) breaks. You may think you bought "low" but once that price falls through those orders you are left with having bought "high" if you don't get out.

shellsnail replied Nov 24, 2013I don't think banks can drive anything more than temporary intra-day movements - they only fill client orders. The real trends are set by the big players like MNCs, central banks, governments and other institutions.

shellsnail replied Nov 24, 2013The market is not the one doing it, it's other traders/institutions/market players who are doing it. The market is merely an "institution/entity" facilitating the exchange of these commodities/forex whenever an order matches another.

shellsnail replied Nov 24, 2013Hmm candle closes can matter not because they are some magical thing but because of how market sessions are divided. Often mid-sessions you may get reversals, and another edge is to fade strong moves into the 30min mark of each hour, one hour before ...

shellsnail replied Nov 24, 2013Honestly I don't think time frame matters. It's just data compression. Ultimately you are still trading price. if the trader uses H4 as his lens and spots the same set-up as you on m5, what's wrong with that?

shellsnail replied Nov 23, 2013To illustrate the zoom out point, previously there was a GBP/USD chart: image So once your entry failed, you are out at break even and you zoom out one TF. Here is what you see. image P.S. I was watching the market at that point. Price was ...

shellsnail replied Nov 23, 2013Well, the thing is, I am wrong a lot too because price often blows past these areas, but as long as I am emotionally sane, I can get out at break-even. The key is, when you are trading a 5min chart, and you are wrong (i.e. price blows through your ...
