[s&r levels] Rule of 10

...get ready for expansion

[elovemer 10]

45.75

....54.75

4 signals yesterday.... thursday

[elovemer 10]

only one signal yesterday ..... which was the opening short

[elovemer 10]

50% of last swing is 52.5

... from 42 ... that's also r10

[elovemer 10]

still no interest in this method ?

[elovemer 10]

.... since you never closed the trade and never moved your stop...

... i guess you were stopped out.....for the full stop loss of 18 points...

 

...after you explained your basis for the trade which was a swing trade based on ten point levels of support and resistance.... i could see that you were looking for a bigger move down....

 

... if you traded 2 contracts..... (exactly which contract you never stated) .... i wonder where you would have taken half off .....

.... because you didn't take any profit when you hit your first target....

 

 

Ok what the hell..

Short 1028 (cash) today 2 contracts 1st target 1018

2nd target 990

stop 1046.

The rally ended yesterday at 1037.7:

cool: So 1038 1028 1018... 990 support.

[elovemer 10]

.... since you never closed the trade and never moved your stop...

... i guess you were stopped out.....for the full stop loss of 26 points...

.... that's two big losses....

 

.... unless i am missing something....

... i don't see the benefit of taking the last top.... .and putting support/resistance at every ten point level below it....

.... that certainly has nothing to do with the rule of ten that i know.....

 

... were these two trades both done with the spread-betting firm you spoke of ?

 

.... if you can only trade with a spread-betting firm....then how can you even use a stop at all ?

.... you are just betting on a certain close by a certain date... or not.... how does that allow the use of stops ?

 

....once in the trade.... you can't back out in that type of trade setup....

 

Short 3 contracts at 1013. 1st target 993 2nd target 983 3rd target 973 stop 1039 for now

[elovemer 10]

yesterday was interesting....

long signal at 45 ... premarket.....

 

the first one this week.... and they made it hard to hold.... pullbacks to 46 and two at 47

[elovemer 10]

a second long signal....

... this time just after the open

 

at 56.75 .... then a short signal at the highs

-------------------

 

the short failed to go all the way .... so this will probably gap up for a short on friday

I never understood why people do all the 'clever stuff' on entries only, personally I would rather trade a random entry with a good market structure based exit than a market structure based set up with fixed target exit. (I think). Obviously things tend to improve with both.

 

Because adverse excursion determines the trade size comfort.

[elovemer 10]

i never understood why Blowfish has nothing whatsoever to contribute

[elovemer 10]

if you have something to contribute.... do it somewhere else Blowhard

dammmmeee you are annoying
