Hey Cory,

 

You must have a few hundred trades under your belt with this approach by now. Have you taken the time to review your trades and how the BE rule is affecting the results? I'm just curious.

 

With kind regards,

MK

Frankly, no...I haven't...not in any meaningful way. I probably should...

I like to keep selling euro's for the next few days as this zone gets reactions - this is my context that will frame trades until this zone is either broken or a decent reaction has occurred.

You know the same thing occurred to me. I think Thales is a pretty aggressive stop tightener but if you squeeze too tight you can strangle the golden goose.

 

If I remember correctly (from how ever many hundred pages ago) Thales would generally wait for price to make a swing high/low to bring his stop down behind unless price had moved a 'good' distance without retracing in which case he would arbitrarily lock in some profit.

 

Incidentally Cory, good job keeping going what is possibly the only thread posting charts let alone live charts!!

Also looking at EUR/USD for similar reasons to GBP/USD. It is not a 123 trade because of the lower low but I sometimes see price clean out these swings then reverse.

UPDATE: Moved stop in case of a 123 the other way

Cory, I was looking at the same one but your dashed line representing a potential support area concerned me a bit. Will you move to BE when it gets there?

Yes, the dotted magenta line = point at which stop is moved to break-even, if it hasn't been already.

    • ...hallucinates.... Student: “What if we gave the monkey LSD?” Guru: “The monkey already did LSD”
    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
