Hi guys, there are 14 comment’s pages in this thread, you can’t pretend that all rules are in the first post. These thread are for discuss all toghether a system or an idea, so before ask to rewrite rules, try to read all post, there are a HUGE number of tips, ideas and clear explanation, then try to trade (in demo) and if something go wrong we discuss all toghether, I think it is the best method to learn something.

Not exactly. Price needs to close at least 30 pips away from any established S&R line. If its not there, then that rule does not apply.

-ILZ

That is not correct. Poseidonn is correct.

It is a very rare occurrence on FXTrade. It only happens during news announcements, which you should not be trading anyway.

Otherwise, its excellent execution.

You can place a TP if you want to. It is a money management decision. I suggest at least 1:1. 100 pip SL : 100 PIP TP.

-ILZ

Yes I wait for close before entry.

Fibo is a great tool if you want to use it. Use what ever you like.

Hi ILZ, so if you do not wait for the break of S&R, how can you avoid ranging markets and whipsaw?
Also, you mention in some posts that you wait for S&R… Sorry, but I am a bit confused.

OK, it seems that people are confused. I thought I explained it well but I guess not.

When to enter check list:

PRICE CLOSE ABOVE/BELOW 200 SMA?

YES - MOVE TO NEXT QUESTION

NO - STOP

PRICE CLOSE ABOVE/BELOW SUPERTREND? BLUE FOR LONG, RED FOR SHORT?

YES - MOVE TO NEXT QUESTION

NO - STOP

This seems to be the part that most who do not get it are confused with.

IF THERE IS A ESTABLISHED S&R INFRONT OF YOUR TRADE, LONG OR SHORT, PRICE MUST CLOSE AT LEAST 30 PIPS AWAY FROM THAT ESTABLISHED S&R.

IF THERE IS A ESTABLISHED S&R INFRONT OF YOUR TRADE, LONG OR SHORT, LESS THAT 30 PIPS AWAY, PRICE MUST BREAK AND CLOSE THAT ESTABLISHED S&R BY ANY AMOUNT.

Stop Adjustment:

ONCE PRICE MOVES 30 PIPS IN YOUR FAVOR, ANYTIME DURING OR AFTER INITIAL ENTRY CANDLE, MOVE STOP LOSS TO BE +3.

FOR EVERY 10 PIPS OF TOTAL MOVEMENT, NOT JUST CURRENT PRICE, MOVE BE +1.

MY INITIAL STOP IS 100 PIPS UNLESS THERE IS AN ESTABLISHED S&R THAT IS CLOSER THAN 100 PIPS.

YOUR STOP CAN BE WHAT EVER YOU WANT.

Closing trades:

IF PRICE CLOSES ACROSS SUPERTREND. DOES NOT MATTER ID SUPERTREND CHANGES COLOR OR NOT.

IF PRICE CLOSES ACROSS 200 SMA.

IF PRICE CLOSES ACROSS S&R IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF CURRENT TRADE.

That is all the basics. Every other nick knack question is answered throughout the thread. If you are not going to take the time it read all the answers people & myself graciously posted, that is on you.

But its really not that hard. The system is simple. Do not complicate it.

All,
I got into the following. Appreciate your comments.

Is it at least 30 pips away from the Support line ? If not then you will have to wait for price to break past the resistance line. Hope what im saying is correct. Can someone please confirm ?

According to the rules
IF THERE IS A ESTABLISHED S&R INFRONT OF YOUR TRADE, LONG OR SHORT, PRICE MUST CLOSE AT LEAST 30 PIPS AWAY FROM THAT ESTABLISHED S&R.
In this trade this is true

IF THERE IS A ESTABLISHED S&R INFRONT OF YOUR TRADE, LONG OR SHORT, LESS THAT 30 PIPS AWAY, PRICE MUST BREAK AND CLOSE THAT ESTABLISHED S&R BY ANY AMOUNT.
It is more than 30 pips
I think my trade is good.

The rule mentions that the S&R “INFRONT” of your trade. Meaning that the last little candle there must be at least 30 pips away from the red dots in your diagram. Is it 30 pips away ? Because if it isnt 30 pips from the red dotted line then it must close above it. Thats my take on the rule. Am i right ?

Yes it is.

That is not correct.

You said " closes 30 pips above establish support "
Correct is closes 30 pips away from establish support
