Trade Review Examples
The following trade review examples have been taken (with permission) from some email conversations with Josh, a trader of the YTC Price Action Trader methodology. He's still in the early stages of his development, developing confidence in his strategy and processes through historical chart review. He's doing this using ForexTester software which allows for trading…
Trading a Choppy Overlapping Pullback
The following was a reader email, enquiring as to how I would enter during a rather messy pullback: Question: I attached EUR/JPY 1 min chart. I assumed that the trend is still bullish. Within the blue area, where would you enter and where do you set your stop? Could you give me an advice please?…
If I Wanted to Limit Myself to ONE Setup Only!
I get asked from time to time which of my setups is my favourite, or which I would choose to trade if I had to limit myself to one setup only. I really hesitate to answer this question, because I'm a firm believer that the setup chosen at any particular time needs to be the…
One Trade – Multiple YTC Concepts
I particularly like this trade. Not just because it wins. But because of the reasoning behind the trade. Immediately it was closed I thought it had to be the basis for a YTC article, simply to demonstrate the entry pattern. But on further thought, it actually displays many of the concepts we have discussed here…
Who Will Give Up First?
Last weeks newsletter article (“The Most Important Question You Can Ask”) generated quite possibly the second largest email workload ever (behind the 4-day backlog generated by “6.18 Reasons Why Fibonacci is an Illusion”). The feedback was all incredibly positive and supportive of my efforts with the YTC site. Thanks to all who responded. It’s greatly appreciated….
Quality Vs Quantity
Trading offers you incredible freedom of choice. You have almost complete control over when and where you will take on risk. And of course, how much risk. But while this freedom is great in theory, it's potentially devastating for many who are still searching for their edge. I suspect MANY developing traders would find…
i have one doubt! ….in 20 tick chart… don’t our mind provoke to take 123 pattern @Doji above SETUP? what was the reason behind that NOT taken 123 setup by U here?…. ( i think it didn’t offer much R:R.. am i right or ? Lance Mentor)
Thanks.
Hi Venugopal,
Good observation. I’d have no concerns with anyone who wished to take a LTF entry on the 123 pattern you identified. It would have offered sufficient opportunity to (hopefully) scratch one part at about breakeven. The other part probably would have been a loss. The important element though would be re-entry on the next trigger, otherwise you would have missed the actual move.
Had the 123 followed through lower, I would have missed this trade.
Why didn’t I take it? We’re discussing a trade that occurred just over a year ago so it’s difficult to say with 100% certainty.
R:R would certainly have been tight. Perhaps that played a part in my decision making.
A better response though would be the general statement that trade decisions (“yes” or “no”) primarily come from the TTF. The LTF trigger is only applicable when my TTF says “yes I want to trade”. In this case, I can only suggest that I wasn’t yet convinced that the breakout would hold. If I was still unsure as to whether the BPB or BOF scenario would play out then I will typically sit on my hands and look for something better such as a trap. That’s what occurred here via the LTF (and would be visible on the TTF as well) as price popped just above the level again and failed.
So my “most likely” reason is simply that… in absence of a “100% yes I really want to be in this trade” decision I was simply awaiting a better reason to go short, such as a trap style pattern.
Again though, I would not fault the decision making of someone who shorted earlier via the 123.
Cheers,
Lance
Hi Lance Mentor,
I Strongly agree this – The LTF trigger is only applicable when my TTF says “yes I want to trade” – … failing to following this punished me a lot already…. Thanx a lot for detailed explanation…
Thanking you.
Although I am familiar with Candle Stick pattern.I did not understand Entry.
What is 123 Pattern
What is LTF and TTF
What is 20 Tick
Regards
Vikas
LTF = lower timeframe
TTF = trading timeframe
20 Tick = a 20 tick chart
123 pattern is a common TA charting pattern. You’ll find info via a google search.
