A seed on m1 that did not look too good but the monarch pattern, the light in the dark, helps us alot. Skypers , some of them, namely moty etc go it. 5% win. does the job

Three common problems of traders.

Unread post by immy »

Three common problems of traders.
1. Chasing the markets (Fear of missing out, Greed of grabbing that move)
2. Jumping the Gun (entry before the anticipated signal - Fear of missing out)
3. Exiting without exit signal (specially during the initial stages of a trade) (Fear of being wrong, fear of losing, fear of leaving profit)

What is the underlying structure of these problems?

the Fractal Geometry Poems of AIMS Setups and Patterns
[CTF = Current Time Frame HTF = Higher Time Frame 5X = 5 Times Multiple HPS = higher probability Setup]


A Setup 1 on CTF = A Seed on 5x or 10x HTF
A Seed on CTF = A Setup 1 on 5x or 10x LTF
A P5 on CTF = A PC Zig Zag on HTF
A PC Zig Zag = A P5 on LTF
To be continued ...

Someone Asked about open gator! simple thing but at times we are stuck in our mind somewhere and a little nudge can help.. so I drew this
Gator Open.png
and the monarch pattern that happens on eWave... it happens right after the gator wakes up or its about to wake up. eWave bars are not too far from its ZL.

Some useful pictures.... Study them...

Example 1
Image

Image

Image

Example 2 Setup 1. but could be filtered due to the fact that Wave 5 is already visible

Image

Sam posted this picture of Setup 1 very good setup traded correctly.
Image

The Seed
The following picture shows two seeds. the First is better the late one is a bit late into the wave. If you did not take the first then you should not take the second.
Image

The Apple
The following is a picture of an Apple Trade and an Addon at break of hte box.
Image

moved SL to BE and Trailing
Image

The Seed

A trade taken when M5 was going towards its upper box level and was between gator and purple on m5. quick move to BE was required. Traded ended up at slightly less than 1% but BE would be fine too.
Image

SL moved to BE (orange line is for ATM)
Image

1%
Image

The Apple one more time

Image

nearly 2% taken
