You can follow the trade here on that link as I have drawn the fibonacci extension on it.
I exited a portion of my position because the elections were a big risk event. You see we have gone up 400 pips since then, it could have been easily 400 pips down. I’m still in the trade, I just lowered my exposure.
You mentioned using the weekly RSI, how to set up it?
Is it set up a weekly TF and set RSI on it, with how many period?
Or set on 4hours TF and set RSI at period 7?
Your short entry should hit SL as you set before it hit a failed pattern.
You will only manually exit entry when the failed pattern is formed before the SL.
Based on your chart, it should hit SL rather than waiting the failed pattern to be formed.
Refer to Post #15 on page 1; We don’t exit even it hit our initial SL, the SL is used to calculate the lots size but not for exit. We only exit when the system produce an opposite signal; that’s my understanding.
Unless I misunderstood what Philip said in Post #15.
Btw, I have another trade which EURGBP, where I enter Short, but market turn against me, and even went overshoot my initial SL, but I managed to exit with half my SL losses with the method posted by Philip at Post #15.
EMA20 crossed down EMA50 and Stoch at OS
Stoch went to OB, reverse and crossed down; Enter Short
EMA20 crossed up EMA50, trend changed, Short position still active
Market went above my initial SL; Short position still active
Stoch went down to OS, reverse and crossed up; Long signal; Exit Short with half SL losses.
I understand losses is part of the game, I am 100% ok with it, as since I follow Philip System, I only have 2 losses which is the EJ and EB, and my a/c grow 15% since 27-Feb till today. I am extremely happy with this great System, and really appreciate Philip’s kindness to share with us.
I still learning this great System, just wanted to confirm my understanding on handling failed trade is correct as per Post #15.
You exited at the right time. Sorry about your loss. The good news is now you can use the RSI filter. In the trade you shared for example, The RSI was 50.4. So you would have skipped that trade for one that has a lower RSI reading.

Thanks, that link showed the Fib Ext really clearly. Mine are the same.
I also scaled back my position to .04lots after your update on My FXbook hence my 15 SL query before.
So do we stay in it until the opposite signal is met or scale out at the Fib levels. Is this a personal preference?

The way we exit is something called trail stop. For example, price has closed above the 127.2 extension. Now our stop is a close below 100 extension. we close our position after the first candle that closes below the 100 extension.
Now if price closes above the 161.8 extension, now our stop moves higher to a close below the 127.2. And if price closes above 200 extension, our stop moves higher to a close below 161.8 and so on.
First I would like to thank you for your answer.
Also, we have to clarify the weekly filter of RSI .
Below is weekly chart of NZD\JPY with RSI 45.34,but the set up weekly is Long.
Following H4 chart,we are waiting the SSI to get to overbought.,for taking Short entry as usual (of course taking into account the new price of RSI).
In addition, my purpose is we examine earlier entry ,when prices broken the red Trend lines with combination the yellow tops at RSI.
Thanks
I’m more focused on the exiting GBPJPY. Had I not been in that trade I would be looking for either GBPAUD long or GBPCAD long depending on what I mentioned in recent posts.
In my opinion, it would be more beneficial for beginning traders to study charts and formulate watchlists for themselves. The system has been presented in [B]great[/B] detail, and it is up to each individual trader to utilize it according to their own needs and trading style.
