HI F
you mentioned today on the other thread that we need the two fastest LRs to cross when near to support or new low position, dose this mean that if this occurs then a change in direction is more likely.
Many thanks.
YT.
Hi YT
It can be looked upon as a first step in a turn - and then its up the the power of the retrace / pullback to keep the momentum going to do a HH or a LL on the small frames. The more LR's over then ( or under) the more chance of the move keeping to it new direction.
The key is to get in within a few pips of a high or low then even if the new move fails - you can still get out with a few pips profit. If you enter off the say 5 min or 15 min charts - you are already 5 -15 pips behind the start of the change and then without a larger stop - you might not make any positive pips on the trade
ie - I might enter and see the turn but after 6 pips its fails - I can still get out with 1-3 pips
If i enter too late - I might just have to take the loss as the move might not proceed any further.
If the scalp makes 10 -12 pips - I don't have to bother - but for later entry trader they might just enter on a 4 -7 pip pullback and they are down right away.
Remember its the combination of many factors - such as time and S&R areas & trend lines etc etc and the LRs for me are just additional clues to assist my decision making
I am sure you have spotted some lovely turns off them that make 5+ pips and then even go on to larger moves after gathering more momentum
It take 100's and thousands of hrs to work out and spot all the structure aids - but it will come to you more after every week of using them
MM is only on his 5th month but I am sure he is still discovering clues he had not spotted after just one or two months
At some levels of price - even just 1 or 2 pips difference can be the start of a different move - and then that move might start another new wave or direction
Hope that helps again
Regards
F
