Has anyone found an entry on YM? I saw an expectation failure in the immediate OF and jumped on a short as soon as price came into my AOI. Riding on the pain train now, but after an expectation failure we expect a deep correction and a complex ...

Slow is the right word. Bulls showing significant break down but price still moving up. Waiting for something to happen. I've been away from the thread for a bit but happy to be back guys. Glad to see Mr. P on the thread too! Happy trading today ...

PA on UJ is too wild for me today, I will watch. Is it common for PA to be a little more aggressive on Fridays? I saw every indication that price is going DOWN until that last swing (9:40 am, EST), the bulls ripped right through everything.

Seems like news but nothing posted on FF....

Seems great if it limits the stop range. Would have been great for one of my trades today. Less risk, more reward. Let us know how it works out!

Ahhhh ok so most of those bars are just big bars but the location relative to structure is what makes it a rotation. Gotcha and thank you. Follow up question: how do we know the difference? The final red arrow in my image shows a bar at structure ...

Hey guys I have a rotation bar question. I have noticed a lot lately that a rotation bar that is very large (closes past the high/low of the previous) and with small or no tail on either end seem to be fake out bars. Price retraces on the very next ...

This early in my trading career (if you can call it that ) I am thankful for making mistakes like this because the pain won't let you forget about what you should have done. It's all part of the game. The fact that you recognize your ...

Hope you weren't taken out by now - I saw the candle you entered on but did not take it since there was no relevant structure to the left (not what I called strong anyway), and the bears had broken right through the structure just above where price ...

Haha no you are right I think - better to wait to take trades with more entry signals than using only expectation and rotation bar! My short trade ended quick +3 since my rules for the time being keep me out of complex corrections. I am open to a ...

I was looking at this one too but been inspired by YOU () to take less trades with more confluence. And until I can recognize these pattern setups better, I won't go against OF and expectations. I am sorry to hear you were stopped out but I am ...

I use TD Ameritrade too but I use it for ALL trading (currently spot Forex, will move on to futures when ready). The spreads are 1-3 pips depending on current volume/instrument but I love TOS platform. Mind if I ask why you trade Futures with ...

BE - testing for a second time and struggling to overcome structure. Protecting.

Thanks, I will pat myself on the back since this was my exact thought process - been taken out for BE too many times also. Juri - thanks for the analysis, the strength of the bearish retrace doesn't make me feel good, but did not persuade me to move ...

Hey guys I have a trade management question. I did not move my stop to BE yet because this doesn't qualify as a test of structure to me. Would you guys call this a test of structure?

Ratios & Harmonics: a Different Way to Trade

Good advice, thanks. You're right I really should lower my risk per trade being so new and I will look into that. My broker unfortunately only allows mini (10,000) lots for spot. Positions smaller than 10k require commission (its high) so I would ...
