BillyRayVal replied Nov 5, 2008I'll cut it off at 1-2% if it gets that far but usually if a trade is not working out as planned I'm out before then. Alot of traders feel the need to "marry" themselves to a fixed stop loss, when most of the time they can tell that price isn't ...

BillyRayVal replied Nov 4, 2008Hi lafedgar, in a case like this you would want to use the last wave up as a potential to go long on (EG the base made at 1.5990) - not necessarily past activity. Either way I'm a little uncertain of continuation here as it seems price seems to be ...

BillyRayVal replied Nov 4, 2008Hi Walt, nothing too counterintuitive here, support and resistance is support and resistance, and they can be played either by fading or on breakouts. I know that most of the trades I post here are fades, but alot of my profits come from breakouts ...

BillyRayVal replied Nov 4, 2008the more hits the better, the stronger it gets, the stronger the breakout, generally speaking. atleast 2 hits with failures, and entry on the breakouts is usually the moment they get violated or a pullback up to the level if missed.
