I dont think its a good idea to miss a weeks trade because the candle is too small. I am short and at BE. Im not going to jump ship. Some of the biggest payoffs in this system occur when the candle is short and you adjust your position size accordingly. I would consider missing a week’s trade if the candle was too big, however. Big means less payoff if the trade reaches target and harder to get to BE while still on the same target.
Not sure where Phil is. Has he been posting in other threads ?
