The Captains Chest - Naked Trading & Other Stuff

Great charts ...

when do you close a trade?
I saw that on EU on some trades (78401556, 9, 565) you were in loss with 62 pips.
What was your strategy then, and at what price/pattern would have you been closed them?

thanks (I wrote similar comm but didn't save ... apologies if is doubled)

Yea I just have to show it because sometimes we loose good setups due to some kind of spikes. like I said before I close them when price is retracing opposite my direction. sometime my trade will go red but if the direction is pure I will stick to it.

This pales in significance compared to sympathy's monster trades (lovin' those charts sympathy) but here's a little M15 EJ trade .. 3 pushes to support and a W formed by the wicks, back up across the range...

And a UCAD M15 trade which I got a good ABC entry short but didn't exactly manage the exit well at the pivot instead of allowing it to go to the target at the lows. An example allowing the fox to use the pivot to draw traders in to chop them up. Still tossing up whether to take the pivot off or not but sometimes it seems a good exit when price has moved 50+ pips or so (as in the EJ trade).

[Edit: just noticed your comment Sean on the ABC on UCAD, nice!]

Anyway CJ's concepts are starting to sink in methinks...

this is EJ in its 3rd level waiting for a reversal, this is were the strategy comes in. you have to wait and see if the last candle pins. sometimes I enter at the previous candle but in this situation, I will allow the second candle to pin above the previous low. that pattern is called a double bottom aka RRT. that's how it works but you have to make sure you are at level 3.
