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.

Potential EU short...

 

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.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
