Stop Loss is the key. — In my opinion a great factor in Forex profitability is a system which does not utilise a standard stop loss which puts you out after it is hit. If a stop loss hit then triggers a justified trade opening in the same ...
The Reason why 95% Traders fail

System/Method Risk. — One thing to be wary of though is a ranging pair that whipsaws between the 0/100 trigger and the 23.6/78.6 Fib. It happens very rarely, but it can happen. Usually lower volumes are the cause. It eventually brakes the ...

Lots of good questions. — Hi Underdog, I never wait for the candle to close above or below any Fib lines to trigger a trade. Why ? Because like most that trade Support resistance if the line is breached (broken by price) then that is your ...

Stopl Loss to small and irrelevant. — Misterdaz, a 12 stop loss when the pair had a 17 ATR is as good as asking to be knocked out of the trade. If you notice in the earlier post I posted for Eu, the Reverse trade would have been triggered when ...

Correctly placed Fib. — Plotting the high/Low of a single candle in the Daily or higher timeframes ensures that you have pinpointed significant SR levels for the Fib on lower timeframes. As Skunny stated plot the Fib to one candles High Low ...

SKUNNY "What I asked you to do with the weekly chart is use 1 candle and fib it. Then I asked you to observe what followed. I did this not as a trading strategy, but to help you study S/R as it relates to theses fibs. Weekly candles are most ...

Seems the starting point is throwing you. Bring up any daily chart. Place the fib down one completed (not current) candle. If the candles high or low is breached (broken) then you have a trigger. Now go to hourly chart - what do you see ? The daily ...

Just this once. — Ok. Firstly plot your Fib across one candle only (refer to Skunnys Posts) on a daily chart. Now if you move to hourly chart your fibs are there. Now see how the price failed to reach your target. However upon reversal through ...

Retracements — Look closer to home than the -138.2. In this instance the reversal went from the -123.6 fib to which level ? Now look back and see when this happens, where it ends up each time.

Trade reversal. — Not all trades go to plan, but you should note that Skunny said observe what happens when the 138 Fib is not reached ... ? So when it reverses, what levels are usually hit ?
