Looks like you're doing very well XR, as usual. I'm just a struggling student of the method trying to figure out what you're looking at for your entries. There must be more to it than pins and peaks? Do you consider the cycle? pushes and levels?

Mikey,

My Style is a Bit Simple these days,



I had stepped out for a bit with my Daughter just before NY Open so I missed out on most of the Action...



Anyway, I Still Got my Groove going ....



Happy Trading Folks,

I've stopped chasing the maps/patterns for now and have gone back to the basics of "cycle", pushes and levels, so far with much better results.

Everything is important, cycles, timing, levels, time of day, patterns, etc. Once all knowledge consolidates in your mind and you learn to control your emotions, you will make it, fairly easy. I believe that your experience with patterns will pay over time. Just relate them to levels and you are ready to go. Patterns are crucial as much as levels, because they give confirmation to each other. So without being lengthy I just want to say that keep on doing and you will make it, your way. The more you see, the more your mind is trained through gains and losses the easier it becomes. I am successful and you will be successful too. Just an example and I can share a picture later on UsdChf and UsdJpy H4 patterns repeating today from the same screen from not too long ago and this is what you will find easy to trade in the future along with sh patterns and cycle patterns. Even I thought dawidforex was not right with the way he traded his patterns but many times, combined with other knowledge contained within this thread, his way of looking at patterns proves to be right, because the ways levels are built show the signs of a structure and he did draw my attention to that. Likely he learnt levels while we learnt structural view of levels thus complementing each other. So to cut it short, your study of pattens will pay off greatly later on.
