Comments welcome
EDIT: I should have set my TP to the low of the current bar (around 94.44) as there is
support going back to the middle of last week. Does that make sense to any
experienced traders out there?
It's a nice trade but there was some AU news released Sunday that caused AU to weaken.... I think I
would let em run until AO swings back to green per Bob's writings. However, any trade with green
pips is better than one with red ones!

I've attached a chart of the EURGBP 10.4 trade that people are considering entering. Here are the
rules as I understand them from Bob:
1. For BUY entry, current price must be above the 240MA line
2. Either of the RSI or Stoch indicator, whichever one you choose to use, must have bottomed or
"flattened" at the low end of the scale
3. When these 2 conditions are met, place a BUY STOP at the nearest support, resistance or pivot
level ABOVE the current price. SL is set at the 240MA level
4. AO condition is not used when setting pending orders, it is used to exit the trade when the bar
changes color. You are in a live long trade, AO color changes from green to orange, exit the long
trade
1. For a SELL entry, current price must be below the 240MA line
2. Either the RSI or Stoch indicator, whichever one you choose to use, must have topped out or
"flattened" at the high end of the scale
3. When these 2 conditions are met, place a SELL STOP at the nearest support, resistance or pivot
level BELOW the current price. SL is set at the 240MA level
4. AO condition is not used when setting pending orders, it is used to exit the trade when the bar
changes color. You are in a live short trade, AO color changes from orange to green, exit the short
trade
I will be starting a thread in the Manual Trades are soon where I will be posting information of price
action trading. I post this chart without Bobs template applied to show you what you are not seeing
when you look only at the lines on a chart. There is a reason price reached each of these levels....do
you know why and for what reason? Each letter represents a very specific action. Actions that are
repeated over and over again. Learn these, apply them to Bobs system or others and you will be
make better trading decisions.

The Captains Chest Naked Trading & Other Stuff (./viewtopic.php?

f=59&t=1572&p=44184#p44184)
I'm going to start a thread here in hopes of providing some insight into trading without systems,
indicators or EA's. Most of you have heard many people talking about trading price. Most of you
probably are still wondering what the hell they are talking about when they say....Trade
price....WTF? This is how I trade and just possibly, the light might turn on for some people and they
will begin to actually "see" price as it really is. I'm not going to get into candlestick patterns as they
are covered by many experts in the field. What I will be talking about is price action and price
patterns it's what you see on your screen when it's "naked", void of anything that clouds your view.
Perhaps, if you follow along, you will understand better, why price moves the way it does. Price is
"alive" in a manner of speaking. I treat it as a hunter would his prey. Learning it's habits, and it does
have habits that repeat over and over, makes all the difference between bringing home a trophy
buck, putting meat on your table or going hungry another day.
When I look at all the systems, EA's, indicators and a the latest bells and whistles that people use to
make their trades, I can't help but compare those people to "trappers". They are setting a
trap....maybe the fox will show up and get caught, but more than likely, the sly little devil will
backtrack on you and slink away. I'm not saying "trapping" is a bad method for hunting, I'm just saying
all the conditions have to be right for the prey to get caught. This is why ALL EA's and systems work
some of the time, but none them work all off the time. When the conditions are correct, the EA or
system's trap will spring and you got a yourself another pelt. Sometimes, the trap is sprung but fails
to catch the prey and sometimes, the trap never springs. Your success as a "trapper" depends on a
mechanical trap, left to it's own means. Let's not forget that the fox is a cunning creature and he
will learn your trapping ways. He learns to survive by adapting to your ways.Trappers who can't
adapt to the changing ways of the fox, will not last long in the forex wilderness.
On the other hand, the hunter takes more of an active roll in "the hunt". He doesn't just set a box
and come back and check it 4 days later. He spends days in the prey's habitat, learning all he can of
his adversary. He actively tracks his prey, looking for sign along the way. Learning when and where it
feeds, and what it eats and if the prey is large enough, finding the remains of a "trapper" or two
along the way. Soon enough though, the hunter tracks the fox right into his den, where the fox lives
and is most comfortable. Before it knows it, the fox is skinned and the hunter bags another trophy.
Price moves with direction "and" intent. Too many people try to trade direction only and have not a
clue as to the intent of price. Price moves for a set, determined reason. Make no mistake here, price
does not move on it's own. Price is driven or piloted by somebody or some thing. It is driven with
intent. The direction of price is the easy part, it's intent is something entirely different.
Most if not all of the orders placed by every member here and in all the bucket shops across the
world, never see the forex market. They are handled in house, by your brokers. The brokers have
3/208
06/11/2016
some influence over price and what happens to your trades. ECN brokers have the widest spread
swings on the planet, blaming liquidity when a 60pip spike takes out your trade. . Staying with a
fixed spread broker gives some protection from these guys but you pay a little more for each trade.
In my trading, I use no stops for 99% of my trades. I trade by the seat of my pants and actively
manage all of my trades If you are serious about trading these markets, sign up for trade rebates
with one of the places on the net that offer them. I receive a 4 digit deposit each month from my
provider as I make a great deal of trades across my accounts.
As the predator, I choose to take the fox in his den along with all his little babies. Learn some
additional skill sets and your trading will improve greatly over time. Enter this thread with an open
mind and leave all your "window clutter" and preconceived notions, ideas and beliefs of the forex
market on the doorstep. You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.
Enjoy the ride!

I would highly recommend that you pay a visit to Nanningbobs HGI forum. He teaches a manual
trading method that works, provides guidelines for stacking trades and his HGI indicator works
extremely well without cluttering up your screen and obscuring your view of price. His teachings will
prevent or limit your entries into bad trades if you are trying to learn the naked trading methods, as
well as provide many trade opportunities along the way. .

I've been reading Bob's 10.4 Complete System thread and EURGBP has presented a possible trade
setup that fits the system. Here is a chart showing EURGBP without any templates or "dirt" to cloud
view of what lies under the glass of your computer screens. PRICE!
Here you see what you don't see when looking at lines, indicators, dashboards and alert boxes.
PRICE!
A very important event just occurred, actually comprised by a series of related events, on this pair. I
have labeled all the "events' for ease of discussion. Looking at the naked chart, what do you see and
what do you think is happening or just happened here. Let the discussions begin....the only dumb or
stupid questions are the ones not asked.

If you were going to war, would you buy your guns and ammo from your enemy? Easy answer NO!
Unfortunately, in the forex wars, that's exactly what we have to do. The very terminals we use and
the tools provided with them are given to us by the brokers, whose money we are trying to take.
They set on the other side of the glass and they "see" everything we do. They know our habits and
nature much better than we know theirs, or even our own. They know all the "tricks" in the book.
They know all the tools we use and they use those very tools against us.
How many times has a level or pivot point been broken, or a MA line crossed, with an order being
placed, only to see price reverse and head the other way? The fox knows where every level or line is
better than we. Most of these "markers" are used to set buy or sell stops, and TP or SL levels.
A lot of people have heard of "stop hunts" but do they know what they are? Some people think it's a
broker sniping their stops. It's not, although some brokers have been know to spike a spread to clear
them in house. This type of activity has slowed from what it used to be. Has anybody heard of Steve
Mauro? Pretty famous guy in forex who teaches high priced seminars of a subject called the Market
Maker Method. Makes a lot of money doing so.
In the EURGBP chart, what you are seeing in the end of an extended move and the beginning of the
next move. All of the letters on the chart indicate what happens in between, and yes, there's a
"stop hunt" there. The bulls and bears have no control of what has happened here and will happen
time and time again, across all time frames. Price has been driven in many directions, to specific
levels with intent. The rate of change in price is a factor in this process as well. It has been driven
5/208
06/11/2016
by that "some one or some thing", likely the Fox, to each point for reason. Trader mentality is the
reason this process occurs over and over again. after all, traders are creatures of habit, set in their
ways.
I'm going to take an early entry into the direction I "think" price will move. I fully expect every trade
I enter to provide me with a profit. It doesn't always happen, but that's my mentality. When I see
"pins" like these, many times I will take entry into a trade I'm considering. I've set a stop here, for
visual purposes, just below the pins. Most of the time, I'll add 1015 pips above or below the pin. If
I'm right, I've just entered into a high R:R value trade. If I'm wrong, I've got a very small loss. The
"pins" are not the only reason for entry, but they are one of the "tracks" the fox leaves. Notice also
that a bear pennant "appears" to be forming. This pennant formation, gives me notice of a possible
false move lower before a break higher. The fox lives on deception. Let's see what happens with it.
I'll begin discussing the lettered areas in the next coupe posts.

Heh. I love it, CJ. You are playing "a level deeper" as we'd say in Poker. I can do this
chart in orderflow perspective as well. Thought you were going for straight up price
action. :) As you said it is much much harder to do in real time. But we can easily see
trapped bulls, bears, and the frustration the market makers have caused in the past.
Reading intent is another game.
Hope you stick around, I promise you'll have at the very least one sponge. Hurry up

Love Texas Hold'em and used LvlII on NASDAQ when I day traded back in the good old days. Now
forex catches my eye.
Sorry if I caught ya off guard with the price action wording. Like I say, Al Brooks and places like Your
Trading Coach can do a great job on the specifics from a professional stand point. I'm a mix of
psychology, patterns, habits, traits, ticks and tricks of price and a very different way of looking at
the forex market and what makes price do what it does. It's really hard to explain, especially when I
start showing you "price projections". Sometimes I feel like a modern day hunter, who uses a game
camera to show him the foxes feeding time and location. Then all I have to do is show up on time. ;)
I've been a member here for a long time. Just haven't been very active. Can't promise I'll be regular,
but I'm here for the moment.
I'll be putting up a series of charts explaining what I see happening on the chart. In the mean time,
chew on this one. Just an idea I have.....

What I see first is the yellow line which is some kind of middle line from were prize
stretch out from and snap back to, dealing range maybe, then I see that lines as
former support becomes resistance are very important to pay attention to. Also wait
to set yr order until after news release. Just my newbie 2cent
I didn't forget your post as I was saving it for later reply...delivered now.
Yes, the yellow line tends to stand out and grab your attention. I mentioned earlier that price is
always moving, returning to previous levels and that it is drawn to some areas and levels more
frequently than others. Round numbers, sweet spots, pivots, support & resistance, fibo and gann
numbers. Everything we use as tools of the trade as well as some I've missed. Areas that we seek out
in our search for profits. Areas to begin and end trades. In other words, all of the areas that both
bulls and bears frequent together. We've all heard it, "the bulls and bears are fighting it out here"
yada yada... But in reality, it's not the bulls and the bears who control price, it's the fox or the shark
or any number of larger predators who are also attracted to these "areas of interest" that price
seems so drawn to. Remember also that I say price is driven to a point with intent.
My question to you is, do bulls and bears create these areas of interest with their tools of trade, or
are these areas created by something else, to draw the bulls and bears together in a small area?
Hunters, who are predators, will sometimes use sound, corn, feed, meat, scent, dogs, other
hunters, and numerous other methods to draw their prey to them. Sometimes, herding it into a
smaller, confined area. Once the prey is within easy reach, it's an easy kill. Once trapped in a
confined area, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Consider the question posed above again and think on this. Is price drawn to these "areas of
interest" because of some tool we use, or because a numerical ratio says it is, or is price driven to
these areas to trap bulls and bears into a feeding zone for the sharks, wolves, jackals and fox that
"hunt" the same areas we do? Are the tools and indicators not the "bait" the fox uses to trap the
bulls and bears? Trapping them in a confined area where confusion, pain and panic set it in?
8/208
06/11/2016
Take a look at this chart. Notice the tick volume as this "event" unfolds.
In my opinion, the yellow line and all lines like it are the "bait" that draws the most number of
traders, both bulls and bears, into a killing zone. Most will leave it with lighter accounts.
You can make a lot of money in these areas when you recognize the sign. This is a 4hr chart and
time moves slow. Traders are not focused on the broad picture, but tend to have "tunnel vision".
Their focus is tight and narrow. Also note the "pins" that appear at a lot of the turning point the
tracks of the fox. When these occur on the lower time frames, scalpers get their asses handed to
them do to the speed of the swings. Again, this is a "dirty" pattern with seeds of deception sown in. .
They usually don't worry about covering it as much in the lower time frame but in the higher ones,
you have more time to analyze it.

Nothing's off topic here Mike. :)

As it's presented, it looks great, but do you trade it that way and were those trades completed? If
you did, it's not per 10.4 rules. When you add the lines back in, that picture changes quiet a bit with
smaller gains and BE trades.
I've mentioned in Bob's thread that he has a well designed system that makes it easy for people to
learn to trade. I've expanded on the fact that Bob says that people tend to rely on "helpers" to find
trades as opposed to learning why conditions exist for taking a trade.
I've been a member here for years and I consider a lot of the users here more experienced than the
every day Joe who hits the pirate sites everyday, downloading all the systems and EA's he or she can
get their hands on. Looking for the "grail", spending all their time, on stuff that does not work, when
they should be learning the basics of trading. But everybody has a different skill set as well as
experience and no matter how you lay out the rules for the posted chart, people will lose money
using it. Not everybody, but some will. That's evident in all the threads where there is a given rule
set, that every trader uses, but not all the traders end with the same results.
I've said early in this thread that I don't advocate people dropping everything they know and joining
me on a naked chart, only to consider what is going on behind the scenes.
I posted this move on a 4hr chart so it would be easy to see. It happened over a period of a month.
The same pattern repeats over all the time frames, and it's on the lower time frames that the
trapping becomes a critical element of the move as you don't have time to react. Not everybody
trades the H4 or D1 time frames, I live on them and play on the lower ones.
The sooner you recognize this pattern, the sooner you would learn when to take earlier entry into
the trades on a 10.4 template, when to stay in them longer and when to shorten your SL to 1015
pips.
All I promise if a look into a very radical way of trading and a view from the other side of the glass.
Here's the chart with the lines added....your trade results won't be near the same. You may just
want to use Bob's 5.1MA, chuck all the rest and swing trade it. Whadda you think?
What works for each individual is what is important.

In the 15min chart are we still looking at the same pattern on the 4h? which is about

Here's chart with some examples of the "railroad tracks" and the "pins" formed at the top and
bottom. If i can get entry in the pins, I'll set a SL of 1020 pips above or below the high or low of the
pin. If I'm a little late on entry, I'll set SL at the the pin level. This is one of the few times I set the
stop.
If you look back in the chart history, you probably find many "areas of interest' in the past that
relate to these reversal areas. Remember, the fox like to pull the bulls and bears together so he
looks for common ground.

06/11/2016
I've spent enough time in the charts that it's almost automatic for me. You can always drop down
and check the lower time frames if it helps you. There are repetitive patterns in the lower time
frames that occur when the tracks form. You will see the track pattern on all time frames. On a 4H
chart, the first pin bar forms.... while watching the 2nd 4H candle, as soon as I see a pin, and I'm
looking for a trade entry, I place the trade. Pins form fairly quickly since it's a reversal, price pull
back from the extreme to stick the stops that were probably triggered there. A pin high, on top
usually triggers buy stops and when price pulls back, those who hold those trades are stuck. When it
pins low, or the bottom of a candle, its usually trigger sell stops and stick the shorts.
Nobody can tell you when to do it. You have to spend time watching them form and practice trading
it on a demo account. Once they form, price very seldom breaches them and you are in a high value
R:R trade.
When trading these on the D1 you have a lot of time to consider the trade. Here's a past example of
an old live trade I posted on another site. The anchor trade is in the pins and the pyramid trades
are below. The SL for the anchor trade was the top of the red box around the pins.
The only way to learn is to practice.

Here ya go Jason this would be a counter trend scalp on the H4...entry right in the pins with SL set
right on top of the high pin. You can see my entry and SL at the bottom set of pins. Live setup!

That's what I wondered too! By the time you see the RRtrax, the opportunity to enter
"in the pins" is long gone. If you enter up "in the pins" of the first bar, it could just as
easily keep moving in that direction and never FORM the RRtrax.

Here's where it gets interesting if you have buy or sell a LOT.... how exactly
to do you that without pushing the price against your trades? This is where the
foxes and the stop hunts come back in to the picture... you have to induce
someone else to take the other side of your position, so you need to make it
look like taking that other side is an attractive deal... say when price pushes
down below an established support, or the low of the day just long enough
to induce enough traders to sell where you as the fox with the big position to
establish are busy buy, buy buying, in full knowledge that price is gonna be
coming back up once those desperate retail sellers are exhausted.
I understand the idea behind this, but I never understood how you could do it. So you
push the price down to induce people to sell well pushing the price down there
15/208
06/11/2016
TAKES a lot of selling. So you have to get pretty short in order to push the price to
where you want to buy. Then I would expect buying would push it UP just as fast as
the selling pushed it down, so at the end don't you end up buying back the shorts you
used to push it down, you're about flat, and the price ends up back where you
started?
Take a look at this chart Gary, this is how they form...it's a counter trend scalp on the H4 time
frame.
The thing about this is that when price is pushed to a point, enticing people in, they get stuck with
the trade when price turns quickly and goes against them They will not close for a small loss and as
price moves away, their loss increases. Same when it reaches the other end. What ends up
happening is a group of trades in locked into a position. Price will not go above the longs nor go
below the shorts. neither can get out without a loss. There will be a period of accumulation, where
price stays in a small range, but not exceeding the previous high. This is the Asian session, when the
high and low of the day are established. There will be a point where the spread between the high
and low widens. A lot of people set these new H and L's as the Asian breakout. After this, the
market maker will begin the stop hunt, price moves a lot more and quicker, by now, all the earlier
buyers and sellers are out, most with losses. Price will move high and trigger buy stops, locking
people into positions, quickly reverse to new lows, forcing the buyers hand to dump or enter DD and
triggering sell stops....price will retreat again locking the new shorts in as price runs away from
them.... price will not go above or below the points the stops were taken. This is the stop hunt.
Price tends to form a wedge or triangle as it whips back and forth, each time, staying between the H
and L's, but not breeching the. Longs and shorts are either stuck or out, while the institution
accumulates it's position.
Take a look at the chart.

What about the places I circled in red? The pins formed there, and price didn't
reverse. (OK on the first one it reversed a little for one candle, but it didn't reverse
like your examples. Would you have entered there? Would you have tightened up
stops and gotten out early when it didn't work like you expected?)

It seems to me that you must already KNOW **where** you expect it to reverse. Then
you use the pins as a confirmation that "yes, it's going to reverse NOW." The pins by
themselves aren't a reliable indicator.
So how do you know **where** to look for them?
Good questions Gary. You have to remember in this situation, I "know" what the whole move, from
one end to the other is. When I look for the pins, I look for major turning points. It's why I look at
every chart on my brokers platform. They don't come along every 30 minutes. I look for something
that will provide a nice move, say 100200 pips or more. That's why at FXAW, I always looked for the
signals with the highest pip values. I'm not really interested in scalping the smaller inter trend or
counter trend moves, but will take the larger retraces on the major moves. Each of those areas you
circled could provide a scalper a profit. Options if you take something like that is to move your SL to
BE+2 as soon as you are in profit. Look at the D1 time frame...you will see some nice trades across
the board on setups like those.
You can drop to the 15M, 1H or any other time frame and see them as well if you like those periods.
Where do you look for them? Look on one of your 10.4 templates. They are full of them. Most would
put you into a 10.4 trade a full level or more before you would normally enter. By taking the smaller
17/208
06/11/2016
SL at the pin level, instead of the MA240, your entry lot would be much larger for the same risk. You
made a picture perfect trade there, look at that trade again. The pins will form at the major
turning points. Use whatever tool you want to help you locate them. I don't post this in Bob's thread
as he teaches his method and I don't want to impose a different set of rules, to confuse people. I've
done this enough, I just trust the pins. FXAW is filled with my charts showing the 1st trade in the
pins. Even if you are a bit late, you can still take entry lower in the candle and still use the pin
extremes for SL. Your risk remains the same, but your R:R value will be a bit lower. When you look at
the 10.4 temp, remember the pins are designed to trip buy or sell stops. Check where they appear
on the pivot levels we all use.
Fire a demo account up and toss trades up when you see them...watch the magic! ;)
Oh, one more point on the red circles...the longer the 1st candle that pins, the better the chance of
getting profit on the second if you are scalping. Not worth it on the shorter candles, unless it
happens at major area of interest.

USDCHF is "pinning" on the D1, in a major area of interest. I would have liked to have seen a taller
pin on the first candle and I'm going to hold my stop until the 2nd candle takes form. It is very
possible here, that the 2nd will pin higher, and if it does, I will take a 2nd entry there, and then use
the high of the 2nd pin for the SL. Early and plenty of time.... In this situation, I'll use the past major
high as a mental stop.

Hi CJ
Attached is the 4H and Daily gbpusd...i am thinking that this may be an area of
interest for the fox to start hammering shorts and longs. It looks like the low of the
day was pushed to hit the previous stops and to load up the short train and now
possibly heading up to inflict pain on the shorts.??
On the daily chart do you feel this is the pin forming? it seems to have a long push
down and now might head up.
Thanks for your great insight. I have forked out many $1000's attending trading
seminars and have never received anything this good! Thank you!

Adding trades are the same. Sometimes I will close a trade in profit and enter a new one at the
current price if I'm building equity or short on margin. I will post some old charts of live trades I have
taken as I used to post a lot of them as I made them.
You could adapt this to the 10.4 system and the pins would work well there, giving you early entry
instead waiting a level or so. With a larger entry order at the same risk, using a smaller SL, your 1st
level trade R:R ratios will sky rocket. Many trades only go one level or so and this can make a big
difference in profit attained.

That pin and your post had me smilin for a second. They started trapping bears
shortly after that pin. Price never returned to give them a chance. There is a nice
zone coming up where we could turn. Maybe below 125.00, maybe with a burst to
stick bulls on a false breakout above 125.22. Heck they could line something up with
the daily. At that point they will have tortured me sufficiently to teach me a lesson.
The truth remains that there are many weak bulls who haven't had their resolve
tested yet. The fox is coming for them. It just needs to burn us dumbasses who took it
short early first. I'm playing this loose and small. And I ain't posting a loss to screw up
my perfect week.
I'll take posting a green arrow over a trade with a poor ill thought out entry every
time. Fact remains I would have taken that pin all day long. It was placed there to
suck us in. The fox knows we are stuck there. I should have stuck with my first notion
24/208
06/11/2016
of lack of knowledge of the fox's intent here, and waited for further confluence and
direction. These foxy bastards are good teachers.
Someone will steal from these weak bull mofos, just a matter of time. Couldn't pay
me to get long here beyond a scalp, so I will take my beating like a man. They can
move this one back in a blink during franky or London. But we could stall through NFP
or they could use that to put the serious pressure on the stuck shorts. But it seems
unlikely. Asia will run it down to the 60's but leave us pinbar pricks stuck until Franky
or London set a direction.
Good one to learn from regardless. I'm doin homework as well, but here I am waiting.

Not good idea to enter trades in the gap between NY and Asian session or during the Asian session.
They use the Asian session to establish the new High and Low of the day HOD/LOD... Price is kept
in a narrow range, 2550 pips most of the time. It varies with each pair. Spreads widen and if you
enter a trade here, you already stuck. Towards the end of the session, price will move 2550 pips
above or below the HOD/LOD during the stop hunt. This stop hunt forms certain patterns, like "M"
an "W"'s or "Railroad tracks" RRT. RRT's are actually compressed "M" and "W" candle patterns and
should be entered on the 2nd leg or second candle of the RRT. That's why I lifted my stop as the HOD
hasn't been established yet.
Best thing to do is watch price on the 15M time frame...like what's happening on EURGBP now....
heating up a bit....
If you can, demo trade the EURGBP on the 5M time frame over the next few hours...watch what
they do and how you trade based on their actions....good practice cause you're gonna see these
moves across all time frames.

Dumb move, sized appropriately small. It will give me a reason to stay up and study

it's small.
Do you find the "Asian consolidation" theory still to be valid? It seems with Yen and
commodity currencies moving that I see a lot of movement these days during asia.
Very few fake, and break opposite days. If it is still legit, I'll watch it more. Market
making remains constant.

EURJPY has played out a little more. Here is a pretty picture.
This is a good example of the beginning of a "stop hunt".

The 1st box represents the Asian session and the is when the HOD/LOD is reset. The intent of price
here is to drift in a small range, trapping traders. Price spread will begin to widen and possibly
trigger breakout stops. Note the "bump" in price at the end of the previous NY session. This is
designed to trick people into adding to trades, going with current sentiment (LONG). Price is
dropped, trapping those traders.
As the Asian session ends, price begins to move with "false intent", usually in the direction with
largest sentiment trend biased traders. Once price has moved 2550 pips beyond the Asian range,
the "stop hunt" begins where both bulls and bears are slaughtered. At the end of the "stop hunt",
price will move with intent, in the "true trend" direction, at the direction of the fox.
I use the term "fox" because it is an animal of intelligence and cunning. It is not the bulls, the bears
or even your brokers who create these manipulated price moves. They are the work of the "market
maker" or "dealer", who work for the banks. It is their job to take money from your pockets. This
industry has no regulation, If this type of activity occurred in Las Vegas, Wall Street or Nasdaq, they
would go to prison\ for doing it. Any person who does not recognize these facts is a fool soon to be
parted from their money. Your task is not to profit by trading as you know it, it is to learn their
methods and piggy back their trades. Only by trading in the direction of price, with the intent of the
fox will you make consistent and substantial gains.
You learn by watching these professionals ply their trade, you watch their actions, their every move.
You do not watch all the things that cover their tracks, that is what then want you to do.
If you are dedicated enough to learn these ways, you will be able to trade larger lot sizes, with
confidence and make more in profit from a 20 pip move than a 300 pip move. Your goal is to make
money, not pips. I can generate as much money from 50 pips as 20,000 pips. I have done it to prove
the fact. By being selective and taking these types of trades, your accuracy will skyrocket. Using
these methods, I have scalped 127 winners from 132 trades, in a live, verified account. I have taken
30/208
06/11/2016
237 winning trades out of 266, on medium duration time spans on another live account. Do I take
large risks in doing so? Some people think so but they compare what I do to their trading style. This
is my style and my risk of ruin is almost non existent.
Can you trade like me and achieve the same results no. Don't even try it. Can I teach you to trade
like me no again. You are not me. What you can do is apply what I do to your trading and improve
on your methods. Make sure you trade with the fox. Place your trades with him and not against him.
He always wins.

Also re. trendlines I think they can be very useful. Again the above thread
opened my eyes a little as once you move away from the rigid preconceptions

discoveries. For example the trendlines drawn below I would not have
drawn previously but I have quite a bit of faith in them in that there will be
some reaction. These particular trendlines were drawn on the weekly chart
from around October 2011 yet look at the reaction to them now on an H4

Stop hunting is just part of it. It's how they build a position, exit a position,
get traders out of their positions and change direction at times.
Price is always moving, up and down. It has to for them to take profits. Price
must step back to go forward as well as step forward to go back. Getting a
heads on when they change the trend, and they can change it at anytime is
key to improving trading as well. The candle patterns help to identify these
tracks when they leave them. They can try to hide them with deception, but
they can't eliminate them. They are right in front of us but it's up to us to
"see" them. Most people don't because they are looking elsewhere.

CJ, what to say about USDCHF Daily?
There has been a pin over the last resistance.
I'm tempted to go short with SL above that last pin.
Or is there something that tells you to hold on?
(I'm also thinking: isn't this too obvious ?)
Thank you!
My feeling is that if you go short here, you've taken the bait. Your SL at pin high will be taken during
the stop hunt, if not before. A 2nd H4 candle will print and it will probably pin higher. Shorts and
longs are trapped now, as they always are at the end of the day, week, month, etc. When the
market opens, there will be a gap, taking out stops before those trapped even have a chance to do
anything.
During the Asian session, price will drift up and down in a narrow range, resetting the initial
HOD/LOD. Near the London open, price will exceed the range, both higher and lower. This is the
clue that the stop hunt is about to start. Price will begin to move a lot, both ways, enticing traders
38/208
06/11/2016
into incorrect positions, stops will be taken out and positions closed at losses. Once this process
completes, the next move takes place. I look for price to end lower going into NY session or reverse
lower during the NY session. This is based on the 15M chart. What takes place on the lower time
frame will also take place on the higher, but over a longer period of time, so the 15M move will give
clue to the longer, more drawn out 4H move to come. So if you are looking to short, wait for a
higher price.
Just an old man's opinion so don't bet the house on it. ;)

Hi CJ,

What do the M's and W's tell you?
"M" and "W"'s are the expanded view of a RRT formation. When you see a RRT formation of a higher
time frame, drop to a lower and you will see the "M" or "W" formation on the lower time frame.
They are reversal patterns and can be traded profitably.
Entry points are taken on the 2nd leg of each. When looking at these on the charts, they tend to
flow from "M" into "W" or "W" into "M", it's how the work the trends and extract their profits. Straight
line moves, which occur give little time for profit taking. The "M" and "W" patterns are the pull backs
and retraces in the market. "W" indicates a rise in price, "M" indicates a drop in price.

Cool. Looked like CJ was making sense of it. But not having access to fxaw... i was

He is reference is to a method of trading I put forth at FXAW. It is based on Tom Bulkowski's Bump
and Run Reversal formation that is used in the equity markets. I adapted it's use to forex and it is a
highly profitable method of trading.
In essence, price will be rising on a trend, volume will be normal or low. Volume will pickup and
price will rise quickly, forming a "bump" It is a price/volume exhaustion model, that finds reversals in
trend.
I call the pattern a Bump and Run Formation, BARF and the thread at FXAW was titled, "BARF your
way to profits".
EURJPY has presented a BARF, the entry was the 1st time price retraced and broke the trend line.
Price has since retraced to the original entry point, giving a 2nd chance for entry.

10.4 TRADERS ignore this post but for Trader Jack I think this would be a quality Pin
bar trade, if I understand your system properly. Then again maybe I dont.
That pin bar is one of the signs I follow Bob. I've been short in the pair. Many times, you will see
price penetrate a level or pivot with a pin. This is the market maker tripping stops and enticing
traders to take positions there. Many times they are false positions. The pin you refer to is where
LONGS were trapped into there positions Friday, while SHORTS could have had their stops triggered,
taking them out of a trade before it drops.
It's one of many repeat tricks they use every day. Price will range during Asian, then exit the range.
Once price climbs or falls 2550 pips beyond the range, as established in Asian session, a stop hunt
will take place. The true direction of price will emerge after the stop hunt...Many times, price will
rise for 2 days as it has here, then reverse on the third day...possibly during NY if not sooner.
You can watch this action on a 15m chart. I expect price to approach the pin high or exceed it a bit,
due to spread widening, before the fall. I will set my stop 1015 pips above the finale high pin after
it has formed. Until then, it is a mental stop 2550 pips above current high of the white pin.
I could have closed several trades Friday but chose to hold along with several others. I'm sure that
the pins are above a pivot for all pairs. If you can't tell by now, I like to "pin" my orders. R:R value
gets crazy high there. ;)

He is reference is to a method of trading I put forth at FXAW. It is based on

Tom Bulkowski's Bump and Run Reversal formation that is used in the equity
markets. I adapted it's use to forex and it is a highly profitable method of
trading.
In essence, price will be rising on a trend, volume will be normal or low.
Volume will pickup and price will rise quickly, forming a "bump" It is a
price/volume exhaustion model, that finds reversals in trend.
3102013 35918 PM.png
I call the pattern a Bump and Run Formation, BARF and the thread at FXAW
was titled, "BARF your way to profits".
EURJPY has presented a BARF, the entry was the 1st time price retraced and
broke the trend line. Price has since retraced to the original entry point,
giving a 2nd chance for entry.

Love your thread, hope to be caught up by tonight, on page 18 now. Question are
there a range of degrees for these runs that are fairly standard. I have seen them and
wanted to test them at some time in my life but never got around to it. So is there a
theory that runs will be 30% but when they reach 33 or so look for the 40%+ run or
anything like that?
Thanks for the kind words, Bob.

Here's Tom's site:
http://thepatternsite.com/barrt.html (http://thepatternsite.com/barrt.html)
I believe he developed the pattern in the equities market. I adapted it to the forex market and it
works well. I'll get into this a little deeper as soon as I have time. It's a massive thread at FXAW.
There are some basic rules to follow, concerning volume, and tick volume can be used. The problem
with tick volume is that it is so dependent on each broker platform.
Stockcharts also does a nice presentation of the formation here:
http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?
id=chart_school:chart_analysis:chart_patterns:bump_and_run_reversal
(http://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?
id=chart_school:chart_analysis:chart_patterns:bump_and_run_reversal)
The trend line angles are close to the same, however, they "dirty" the patterns in the forex market
to make them harder to see. They still repeat and it's a great method for longer time frame trading.
I've used this to catch many great runs in pair like GBPJPY and GBPNZD. It's one of my favorite
patterns to use with pyramiding of orders.
There is an example of one of these formations on the EURJPY chart posted a few pages back. Safe
entry is taken when the highest high is tested, the test fails and price retreats and breaks the bump
trend line. Early entry can be take in the "pins" of the highest high, with vary small SL, 1520 pips,
and R:R values of 1015+ and higher.
On the EURJPY chart, price has retraced back to the entry point. I will be looking for entry this
morning, perhaps early NY session.

Hi CJ and Mike, we're looking at the EURJPY pair for a BARF entry, I just have a couple
of questions. I'm also running with Bob's 10.4 system here so this would be counter
trend, (which I have no problem with in the right setup). My questions are regarding
stop loss and entries. The attached pic shows two possible places for SL, which one (if
any) would you take, either 1 at the previous swing high, or 2 at the most recent, and
44/208
06/11/2016
secondly, with the 10.4 system we would wait for entry at the WP, but it would be a
much higher RR if entry was taken sooner. So if entering sooner, what would be your
signal to do so?
Many thanks,
Pips400
The attachment barfeurjpy.jpg is no longer available
The early entry here is according to the Railroad track pattern at the highest high. It is the reversal
signal. When entry is taken there, set SL 1015 pips above the HH.
BARF has set rules for entry per this chart. If you look at a longer time frame, D1, you will see that
there is a larger BARF pattern there, which would have provided hundreds of pips in return. Price is
currently back at the original entry point of the D1 BARF, confluence with the H4 BARF.

The fox has taken the day off here....JPY is being "held"..movement in the crosses, but for the most
part flat. There is news due out later for the Yen....I expect the action in Asian and later....until
then, it's just chop.
I do expect these pairs to drop when the action picks up, but it's just a guess.
If you compress compress the chart a bit, you will also see a basic 3 push to the high, where the
longs are trapped and consolidation is taking place for later action. This si also called "testing
patience". The Fox wants you to make a mistake as he keeps you waiting.

Bob has a great system. One of the biggest problems that people have, from novice traders to old
timers, is capital preservation. Most don't have the funds to trade the way they do and bust out
quickly, trying to make a killing. In the forex war, your money is your ammunition. It's no different
than chips in a poker game. Bob offers a conservative way to trade, protecting your funds and
entering a trade when it is moving in your favor. Follow his plan and you will profit as well as protect
your funds. Trade to trade another day.
Bob's plan is also great because a more advanced trader can use it, apply what he knows and take a
more aggressive approach to trading. This person may take an earlier entry into the same trades
that a more conservative person will enter into later. Safety is built in for the novice. The advanced
trader may be able to manage his own safety level. Risk does not increase, but profits can. Until the
less experienced trader gains confidence and knowledge, his capital is safe.
I for one would not like to see Bob change his basic 10.4 plan to make it more aggressive. There is
an advanced area for trading 10.4 in ways not put forth in the basic thread. This is where people
could use what tricks are learned here as well as other methods, like Mike uses, and increase profit
without increasing risk or reducing it further. Not everybody understands basic 10.4 let alone adding
something like what goes on in here.
When you start banking those green pips on a regular basis, your whole outlook on forex takes on a
new look. It's a bright, sunshinny day!

I agree we learn to compliment each other rather than look at each other as
rivals. I love to CT trade but I learned from trying to teach all three basic
trading methods from 10.0 that I cant. However, other traders have now
picked up the slack and I dont have to do that. The CT traders post their ideas
and have their threads and I canstay with the basics. Captain Jack is teaching
a way to compliment so traders can see things other than dips and rallies and
that is good.
You're right Bob. The only competition we face is from those who seek to liberate us from our hard
earned money. I'm not talking just about the brokers, dealers and the lot of them. This market is
filled with people who can't trade themselves, but will toss out one system and EA after another,
prying the money from our hands, to satisfy their own greed.
There is no "perfect" system, EA or manual way to trade. We all need to find what works for us, on
an individual basis. That is where the sharing of ideas and info plays a big role. We can take ideas
and concepts from each other, apply it to our own trading methods and style and hopefully improve
them as we go.
I've already stated that nobody can trade as I do. There is so much that goes through my mind when
considering a trade, it would be impossible to put the process to paper. To say, "this is what you
need to do, and only this will work for you" is out of the question. But to say, "hey, take a look at this
and see how you can use and apply it to your system" may make a huge difference in a traders
development.
When we take profit from the market, it is such a small piece that it amounts to nothing. A drop in
the ocean compared to the size of the market. There is plenty of profit for all in this business. We
just need to learn to take it out and not provide it to others.

Set realistic goals and use the power of compounding to build your account. Trade within your
means so you can trade another day if today did not go your way. Not all of them go my way nor will
they yours. There is always another trade to be taken right after the one that just finished and they
can be placed at any time of the day.
I have a feeling Bob, that your CT skills are going to improve in a short time. I'm all about swing
trading. Read the sign of the fox and you'll be swinging soon!

Those pins or wicks are what I look for. Especially when they pierce levels and pivots to trigger the

They "spread" a pin up above the old pin high, but this does not invalidate the trade. What is
important here is how long they held the level at the high and didn't pass it. This "normally"
indicates buying the dip and going long....it's "dipping" now....but a dip and rise could lead to a nice
reverse and drop into the NY session. A new high invalidates this trade and we should exit.

The "W" would have come at the very low and if you look at that on the 5M tf, you will probably see
a "W" where the RRT's are located. Don't get confused on the time frames...."W" and "M"'s presented
on the higher time frames offer better trades out of those patterns. They will appear on the lower,
but unless you are an experienced scalper, it's tough to make consistent profits due to the price
range involved and the way they spread price on the bid/ask.

Hi CJ
For me, a difficult aspect of learning to trade naked (not literally) :shock: is the lack
of sexy indicators that fill my brain with price expectations.
Even though you have taught this expectation 'will be wrong' and my account, like
many, will prove that is is wrong, the indicator is something for us to visually grab on
to.
Naked trading as you teach it, does resonate with me and I know that if I, in time,
can learn to trade this way it will be profitable. I know it is early days for me trading
this way but I am still sensing a 'void' of information on the screen.
I have attached the AUDJPY 15min chart with what I think will happen to price in the
next day or so. My projection is only based on my level of knowledge of 'the fox' and
her tactics, so will most likely be way off the mark. If so, I hope you can say no it
wont do that because of this!!
I find myself looking at a chart and thinking 'what now'?? What will the fox do now and
where will I jump in?? and not really having a clue.
Is this the normal 'learning curve' for naked trading? or am I just unwittingly dim! :lol:

Hi CJ
If you have a second could you briefly explain what is meant by the
terms 'trapping volume'?
and 'continuation'
58/208
06/11/2016
cheers
Daryl
I'll go back and check on the continuation....but "trapping volume" is sticking

the largest amount of contracts or positions. When they spike it low and get a
lot of people looking to short, they pull price back above them. Then they will
drop it again, only not as low as before, enticing more shorts, but not letting
the others out of their positions. Price is still above then. They will do this and
trap a large volume of shorts, then move price away from them....forcing
them to sell at a loss.
Draw a descending trend line and you will see that after a short rise, they
dropped price quickly one candle. If you draw the descending trend line, you
will see it was near the point of drop. They were trying to say the down trend
was still in effect. Continuation of the down trend so they could get some
more shorts before moving price away from them again.
CJ
Thank you, Oh my God, I didn't realise the fox was such a nasty beast!
Attached is the GBpAud 1Hour chart... Is this another example of trapping short
volume? with a rise to follow?

Patterns repeat from the smallest to the highest....same pattern you looked at earlier....
The spiked price down once, formed 1st leg of the "W"....the did not spike the 2nd leg down because
they have enough SHORT volume trapped now and do not want to release it. It's a straight away
trade that's designed to bust out the SHORTS in margin trouble....
When you see this, you BUY. They can still spike a bar down, so your SL is 10 pips past the lowest
low, but they have to move a ton of contracts to do this.... As price moves away, pull your stop up.

In leg 1 of the weekly shift. So after they have thrown the brakes on the
weekly cycle and chopped it up. Once they pull away from the new high or
low. Often they skip the stop run back in that direction. They have so much
money trapped at the new high or low, that it is in their best interest to just
turn up the heat, not send it closer and risk losing some fresh meat. They turn
the heat up slowly on their boiling frog so he doesn't jump out of the pot.
Watch the second leg, and backtest. Many many times there is continuation
there. So... they throw what looks to be a FAKE.. all the Frankie/London
open "clever" traders fade it like they have successfully the last 3 days, they
get stuck holding the bag, and the market runs through them.
This is the leg that pays breakout traders. It is the straightaway. It screwed me
over 100 times manually backtesting, but it isn't that hard to spot.

More detail on how you spot that rare straightaway, would, for us slow learners, be
*most* illuminating :)
Price spikes down once to the low, but fails to form the "W"...price spikes once high but fails to form
the "M"....this is after the Asian session when the range has been set.....NO STOP HUNT
Failed "W" straight away up.....failed "M" straight away down.....
Sometimes they will blow the range box out to cover this....and what looks like a stop hunt but it's
not.....

not teaching anybody to trade as I do. You need to learn basic money
management, lot sizing and risk. I don't teach or pretend to teach that.
I am a super aggressive trader who will not hesitate to max out my margin. I
am as unorthodox in my money management as I am in my trading beliefs and
I will let my broker close trades for me.
It will not work for anybody but me.

Does risk management determine 70% of your own trading success CJ?
63/208
06/11/2016
Having a good idea of where price is going and in what time frame determines success. Risk is either
reduced or increased based on this fact. My risk is minimal and I trade without stops so how would
you determine my risk?
According to this, I would have to lose 171 consecutive trades to lose 40% of my account....my risk is
minimal.

The fox isn't always active....he tends to set out the 2nd level of a rise or fall....he is very active in
step 1 and step 3. How can you tell? Tick volume!
Take a look at the chart, where is the fox doing his deeds? The 2nd level is usually in the control of
traders who are reacting the what the fox has done in the previous step or level.
Level's 1 and 3 belong to the fox....level 2 is the traders....the tick volume shows this with increased
volume in level or step 1 and 3. Levels 1 and 3 are usually larger in movement than level 2.

I get that Jemook, but when you have a M formation going straight into a W
formation going back into another M formation going back into another W
formation its hard to see are you trading the M or the W right now...
I understand to go back to the higher TF and that will help but CJ was saying
that moves happen in 3 (excl stop hunt move). CJ, Can you touch upon this a

Here's a good one to consider from both sides of the glass....
Notice how they keep validating the fibo levels but the bar for price itself is always moving lower.
This is creating a "false" S/R level. Longs will set buy stops above the false level. The next time up,
those orders will be sitting in an artificially created zone, ABOVE the true price zone. It will be easy
for them to trigger stops at that level again, putting LONGS in a very disadvantaged area.
SHORTS are no better as their stops are inflated as well and the return will see price spread beyond
them and stop them out for increased losses as the pins are used for stops...
Thoughts?

Consider this....it's not our job to "predict" price....we follow price, BUT we can take a close look at
price and consider the possibilities....
Can I say that I'm 100% sure this will happen? No, but it has the potential to happen. No harm in
being prepared in case it does....
You should have a plan for every trade. An entry target, an exit target, stop loss if you use them and
to be able to adapt to what happens along the way. There is no EA or utility out there that can think
like the box on your shoulders.

Take note of the "W" that was forming here...sign of pullback into the range near the end of the
session (day), and week....look for price to bump up during the "gap" on Sunday/Monday. The gap is
really not a gap, just a period of time where most don't have access to the market and price is
manipulated. This sets up the Asian ranging session, where I will look to take further SHORT entry.
Price may rise during London, present the "M" pattern then reverse into the NY session....

Let me try to summarize a bit. This is a mix between CJ method & Steve Mauro. Used
on M15.
1. Grab the asian range. Generally between 15 to 50 pips. This is the accumulation
phase on low volumes.
2. Around London open, mark the asian hi/low range.
95/208
06/11/2016
3. Wait for the asian breakout, no matter if it is to the upside or downside, you don't
care :)
4. After 30 to 90min, mark the LOD/HOD (low of the day, high of the day).
5. Price will retrace a bit, now look for "M" or "W" patterns.
6. Enter short at the top, long at the bottom at the second retest. Look also for
patterns like pin's, rrt, hanging man, etc in the M & W zones.
7. If all is ok you should be in profit.
8. Breakout traders are trapped in their breakout thing. They are now hoping the
price will go at least at their entry price to exit at BE ... but price is now ranging,
they are stuck ...
9. One hour after, the trend will resume and the price will be begin to drift in your
direction forcing breakout trader to close their order, this will also accelerate the
move.
Be careful between London & NY close, there should be a pullback if the range was
big. This keeps a bit a the volume and money for the next day.
So, take your short position from the HOD and long position from the LOD after a M or
W pattern. Stoploss should be above the highs or lows (give enough room to avoid
getting trapped by broker spread widening)
If the price sky rocket to the upside or downside & you don't see a pullback nor a M or
W after the breakout, too bad for that one. Go hunting on another pair =)
Well done Lio. Your write up might make it easier for others to see this on the 15M time frame. I'll
add a couple things.
Ideal Asian session is 4050 pips. This is usually dependent on the volatility of the pair. Some may
range 2530...but look for around 40 pip range.
After the range is set, the next thing they do is expand the range. This is what trips the breakout
trades.
After this range expansion, price should move 2550 pips above or below the Asian range, this is
where the stop hunt occurs. The stop hunt takes out the breakout traders. This move to the stop
hunt may happen over 3 candles or 3 "pushes". This is where some confusion comes in. The 3 push
move to the stop hunt is different than the 3 pushes of the actual move itself.
Once the stop hunt is complete, look for the "W", "M" or straight away moves. These moves may
have 3 levels up or down.
Trades over...look for another.
You can have a 3 day cycle of either rising or falling price. After this 3 day cycle completes, you may
have a reversal into another 3 day cycle.
Many times, price will reverse in or near the NY session. This is the last session of the day and week.
When price is rising, it must reverse and drop for them to take their profit. When price is falling, it
must reverse and rise for them to take their profit.
These observations apply to the 15M time frame.
HOWEVER, these same patterns apply to higher time frames. Learn them and use them as a guide
for price direction as well as longer term trades.
You might not want to set in front of the computer and wait for these trades to hit on the 15M time
frame. That's fine. Look for them on the 1H, 4H and D1 time frames. They are there and you can
96/208

take low maintenance, long term trades based on these patterns.

Take a look at the chart Lio used as an example....it's a 15M chart. Compare it to the one I add here.
A light should have just come on for you!

I've been learning from Steve Mauro as well and the lightbulbs are really coming on.
:D Finally, after 5 years of struggling, now its time to have some fun. I like his song,
"the world's your candy shop, don't trade until they hit the stops".
I'm really happy with how I've got my template & I thought I'd share it with anyone
who's interested. The time zones are all arranged for Cowboy IBFX. For simplicity I
recommend just get a Cowboy IBFX demo and then you don't have to change anything.
Thanks to Mike for the Auto Sessions!
You'll notice the dark green consolidation boxes, this is set for "euro sized" pairs, you
would need to change it from 28 to around 5060 for big movers like g/j. I find those
boxes helpful to identify the asian consolidation zone. Sometimes the time box does
the job, other times the cz box is great. Credits to fxhard at ff for his cz indicator.

Looking good Pueo and thanks for sharing your setup with us.
I've got a veritable library of hardback, softback, ebooks, dvd's and training materials here, that I
have accumulated over the years. My iPad is full of reading material...too bad those didn't come out
earlier, would have saved some space! Some of the better stuff is by Martin Cole, Steve Nisson, and
Tom Bulkowski. David Elliot, of WallStreet Teachers, who passed recently was of great help when I
traded equities.
Steve Mauro's stuff was always out of my price range while I was 'educating" myself. I've always
wondered if it was worth it. Have you attended his seminars Pueo? I believe he also has a monthly
service you sign up for. Perhaps one day, I'll get a chance to attend one of his presentations. I'd be
interested in hearing what his thoughts are as I have seen some of his promotional material. Looks
interesting but I believe he stays to the 15M time frame only.
I'm glad the "lights" are starting to shine for you, maybe we can get a few more bulbs turned on here
at Steve's place.

When I get some time, I'll dig some up....might help....

Actually, we were following a larger "M" pattern on the EURNZD pair the other day. I took a LONG
trade up to the pin area and closed it for a profit. I set a SELL limit order, priced moved to within a
pip or triggering the SELL and backed away. I entered a SELL order as close to my limit order as
possible.
Price dropped away and trade was entering profit when price reversed, stopped my SHORT out and
moved higher. Would consider this trade over and "failed" took a small loss....
BUT, when price moved 2535 pips higher and pinned, I entered a new position....which proved valid
and added orders as price dropped away....
This is one way they mix up a pattern to get people out of their trades...it turned out well, but it
did get me out of my original position...

You will see them transitions from one to another, BUT the ones we need to look for are on level 3,
up or down....these provide the better moves.
A lot of trades taken on Monday here were not very good patterns. I took a couple based on a few
pins that were piss poor.
The best trades were off the pins low, on the gap drops. A lot of the pairs have recovered most if
not all the loss during the gap. Several gaps have been filled already as well....
When they run price like this, and use "news" as an excuse, price tends to return to the prevailing
trend as it was before the "news" event.
I've attached one of Kruspe's charts as it illustrates the "M" and "W"...Kruspe is dead on. We need to
look for a "W" to form, below the Asian range in this case, to trigger short stops and pick up orders
before it goes higher. If we were looking for a level 3 rise, we would look for a well defined "M" at
the top, which trips the BUY stops.... these patterns will have some long pins as this is how they
spread the price out, triggers stops, but not triggering TP levels...
Nice work on the charts Kruspe, it shows good level recognition...just look for the level 3 formations
and trade them...you will make money.

Not a bad idea at all....when you are staring at the lower level time frames, you will begin to
"imagine" patterns instead of seeing patterns. That's why it's better not to trade the Asian where
moves tend to be smaller. You want the volatility in range that you get near the top and bottoms,
where they are spreading price, creating long pins and tripping stops to load their bag for the return
trip.

I agree Gerry.... looks like an "M" after a 3 level rise. Price has returned to fill the gap, as was
discussed earlier in the thread, and has basically completed a stop hunt before it's next move...
Price finished the day in consolidation so that should make it Level 3 complete with a Peak High.
Level 3's tend to lead into straight away price moves after consolidation....watch for this...

Question4
Any way to stay longer in the trade. i want to increase my R:R ratio.(counting 3 drops
when u know the 3rises?) i chicken out too soon.
This goes a little deeper on holding positions Gerry....Using GBPJPY as an example, it has an ADR of
176.5. Lets say you determine that GBPJPY has formed a peak high and is beginning a new 3 day
cycle, so you take a short position and set your stop loss....
Using ADR of 176.5 x 3, for the 3 day cycle, you have the possibility of this pair moving 529.5 pips on
a 3 day drop....There are many options on how to do it, but lets say you have added orders and
price is dropping. At the 1st retrace level, you can close your positions and take new ones at the
end of the retrace or you can wait for the retrace to end and add orders higher, after the retrace.
Bring your SL down to the peak of the retrace. If price drops, you can add orders to the next
retrace, close or hold. Move stops down again and begin adding more orders....at some point , you
will get a nice reversal signal where you close them all out.
I tend to close my orders at the retrace point, book the profit and add new orders when the retrace
is over. Helps to keep my equity rising and margin levels a bit safer.
This is one way of building those positions into a big payday.

Each pair will have it's own ADR to use in computations. Some small, other larger...
This is an example over several days on the higher time frame, but you can use it on the 15M time
frame using daily ADR on the same manner. This is based on entry at the LOD or HOD, where you
have the full ADR to work with.

What time frame are you referring to? Daily??...I left my glasses home and I cant put

:oops:
Levels refer to the weekly cycle and the 3 day cycle. Level 3 is where new peak highs or peak lows
form and reversals occur. You can view them on whichever time frame you can see them best. The
count starts from the last peak high or peak low....

I believe the stop hunt in this pair, due to the GBP move yesterday, clouds or

The peak low may have just been reached...

Hi CJ here is a snap of the H4 NZDJPY. Have 5 pins to the high, which would indicate

where would you enter? At the break of the lowest wick in the group or some other

Took some time off today....yes, the pins indicate downward pressure....here's an update...
There was a stop hunt that took place and a long downward pin formed. This indicates another up

upwards...

Hi CJ,
Managed to read the GBP USD moves correctly on Wednesday and made some good
trades following Foxy up and down. I was looking for the stop hunts right after the
Asian session and they played out as you have often shown on this thread. What I am
still battling with, however, is the "straight away" moves after the Asian session. If
you look at GBP USD yesterday, there seemed to be no stophunt for shorts and there
was a 98 pip climb which lasted into the middle of London.
132/208
06/11/2016
Of course I could have waited and traded the shorts from the middle of London, but
my question are there any clues that Foxy gives for the "straight away" moves?
Thanks again for all your insight.
Lara
Be sure to look at the higher time frames for the level counts....it was in consolidation after a level
1 rise, off the peak low. This is where straight away trades will occur most often...
Price rose from the low, fell into consolidation and did have a stop hunt....on the 1H it's clearly
visible...
On the 15M, they gave subtle clues when during they brought price off the low of the range and held
it high...it did not go back to the low once it shifted high. Price left the box high, and volume picked
up at the same time....
Don't get locked into one time frame. ;)

Let's say the first 5 pending orders have been converted to buys, then the UJ
reverses... Sorry I do not mean to pour oil on the flames, just saw the UJ drop!!!
1. Do you set your open orders to BE when the next pending is converted?
2. Do you close all on reversal, if yes, when? or
3. Do you let them go into DD till your initial SL (first order minus 1015 pips?) is
hit...
Would you pls consider to attach the following indicator to your "training charts":
it places an arrow for every order entry
it shows where all orders were closed
shows pips profit / loss per order (might not work correctly on all Metals, etc as I
have not added the proper PipFactor conversion yet)
it shows breakeven line (if some orders in loss, others in profit)
after close of orders it prints total pip profit / loss at bottom of screen
This was coded by blubb over at kreslik a long time ago....

So far, so good....EUR pairs are coming home...still holding those orders from yesterday....
You don't have to or need to trade this way....I've said it before that you the idea is to make money.
You can make the same amount of money by trading a smaller number of currency pairs, but trading
a larger lot size. Too many people get hung up on pips. I can earn as much on 10 pips as I can 10000
pips.
It is far easier to trade a couple pair, get familiar with them and trade larger lot sizes. Less to worry
about, less to tend to and take care of.
I do this to make a point and don't always trade this way. As a matter of fact, I very seldom trade
this way. ;)
The patterns are the same. It doesn't matter what pair, or what time frame. The patterns are what
is important. Once you learn those, all the hard work is done.
Find one pair at the right level, right cycle and right pattern and hammer the hell out of it.
I won't be doing this next week. Gonna slow it down and size it up. 8)

That's good to hear Lara! Always nice to see people making a profit in this business. What we take is
but a small drop in the massive forex market. Taking a few hundred or thousands of dollars a day,
pales in comparison to the trillions that change hands and the profit they take from those
transactions.
My pullback trades paid off well as the fox crawled right into my bed as I slept. I've got some AU
trades that didn't close out so I'll have to see how they do come Monday. Gap should go in my favor
but spread will determine if they close on their own when the market opens.

Hi Everybody!
I have been lurking on this thread feeling not ready to participate, because I see
myself as scarcely qualified to be the gun carrier of the junior fox hunters, but when I
see how the Captain of the Hunt slays the foxes (he surely is the King of Traders!) I
got excited and decided yesterday to start testing these theories on demo trading and
see if I can eventually see some light. One of my first attempts attached herewith was
unsuccessful and I want to learn from my mistakes. My own opinion why this trade was
unsuccessful is based on one or more of the following reasons and I would really
appreciate some feedback from anyone:
1. There were only two pushes I should have waited for a third although I
thought that the beautiful M that formed was enough signal to enter (bit late
because I was waiting for confirmation)
2. When I saw no stop hunting or long pin below the support line (drawn on the
chart) before the turn in a bullish direction, I thought it was safe to hang on to
the trade, because the fox had no plan to trap any bears
3. Was the setup and entry OK and this is just one of those normal situations when
the trade went wrong which can be expected to happen 1020% of the time?
4. Is it more conservative to wait for the break of the previous leg's swing low (the
support line on the chart) before entry or does this just waste pips?
Thank you CJ for your generosity in sharing your experience with us. You are just the
most amazing trader.
Ernest
There's already been some good explanations and I can tell that this stuff is making sense to a lot of
people here. That's good to see. I'll add a couple charts and my comments as well.
We were looking at this and I had it on my watch list as well. First of all, we did not get a well
formed "M"....the 2nd leg did not reach the high of the first leg and there were no long pins, where
the fox is trying to stick the longs up high. This is the area where spread widens in the bid ask as this
occurs but we can't see that on the chart either. It's the spread widening that helps create the long
pins.
As pointed out, we only had 2 pushes higher from the last peak low. It helps to look on the higher
time frame charts to see the levels.
On the 1H chart, you can clearly see the majority of the pins are to the low side...as well as the "W"
149/208
06/11/2016
formation...had the "M" formed, it should look more like the blue dashed lines....where the 2nd leg
tests the high of the 1st leg, with longer pins on top....
On the 15M chart, you can see the range, an extension above the range, but no extension lower...by
not extending lower, the fox keeps the shorts trapped from the range, not giving them a chance to
get out at a lower price than their entrance. He already has what he needs and doesn't pin it
low...the small "W" also forms indicating higher price....
Level 3 could go higher, but it is forming....we need to keep this pair on the watch list, look for the
peak high to form and give reversal patterns. After the peak high forms, a period of consolidation
will follow....this is where the next move will originate.

.....You Guys Rock.
Could someone tell me if on a "M" the second swing needs to go above the first or not?
And on a "W" if if the second swing goes below the first or not?
Thank You
Sometimes they do...they need to sell trend continuation to trap traders so it "may" pin higher.
Sometimes it doesn't if they have already trapped a bunch of contracts on the 1st legs, especially if
the 1st leg has a large, quick price swing...
Each pattern has to be assessed on it's own merits. Many times, you will get a second "M" or "W",
that will form after consolidation. These should not form above the last "M" high or last "W" low...
Somebody got raped by the broker, not the fox on the chart below. Note the 40 pip difference in the
low prices here. My guess is that somebody had a nice LONG position established and set their hard
stop just below the pins...the broker spread the bid ask and took the stops before the rise in price.
Instead of a nice gain, this trader took a loss on his order. This is the primary reason I don't use
stops, especially with an ECN broker.
I've been using some stops with the scripts I've used this past week, because I can't manage the
shear number of orders manually, but when I'm trading large lot sizes, I won't use a stop.

re ScaledInPendingTrades with risk based volume.
CJ
You have inspired me, as a mathematician & grateful learning trader, I jigged a
Scaling trade Script (from tigpips FF) to suit the style we are honing. At a price on a
chart, drop a series of scaledin Pending Orders at preset intervals with SL & TP.
Added features incl fixed(yellow), logarithmic(blue) or linearly(magenta) reducing
Vol. for any number of child pending trades. SL & TP can be same price or relative to
each trade start.
ScaleVolume.gif
Best feature for learners (like me) is option that Total Volume of series be %Account
Risk based, so each trade is auto calculated relative to total RiskPercent, enabling
safer scaling of pending orders whilst we build.
I find this increases confidence to drop a series on the chart. If pending trades do not
fire (some missed last night) invoking ScalingScriptCloseALL can close All(Yes) or
delete PendingOnly(No) trades with corresponding MagicNumber on that sheet.
Strongly advise 'ReadMe' first, if new to scaling. Guide notes attached.

If you have any questions concerning spread widening at the top or bottom, or don't know what it is,
just open an order box and watch. You can see the bid and ask prices here, as they form 2 lines.
They tend to follow each other closely, but when they widen, you will see these lines "spread" apart.

El Capitaine CJ,
Thanks for your Earlier Inspiring note of Advice with regards to my Trades, I have
noticed one thing with regards to your Comments on the Broker's Spreads and that's
why if you Notice I have Circled the Top Right hand Corner of the Displayed Chart I
Posted, I am only interested in eyeballing that corner when I trade on the lower time
frames such as the M15 as the Chart gives me the Spead on top, and Below the Candle
time, so I am I correct to imply that the Spread and the candle time as in remaining
time left for a Candle to close and a New Candle to form go hand in hand when
Deciding to Enter or Exit a Trade ????
I have also Adopted a New Style :idea: this is from my Observation of some of the
Charts you posted in the Past that when Going in Short in any Trade you always have
one trade Right on top with a SL then further a little way down from the first Short
Trade you then Establish further Sell or Short Trades assuming your Huntch is Right
about the Position of things refferencing that Trade. I have also Noticed the Same
thing and Style when you Initiate Opposite Trades as in Going Long or Doing Buy
Trades.
One final thiing amongst the many Questions I have for you is on the SNAGGIt software
how do you imput text , I can Draw Cirles and draw W's and M's But adding text to my

Yes, it is the time to candle close. When the fox is at play, many times he will wait and do his deeds
on the "backside" of the candle, not wanting to show his hand too soon.
The trades you speak of are limit trades that are triggered in case of a quick retrace or spike after I
have placed the sell or buy order and stop orders. I enter trades early at times, like the USDJPY
trade Friday and the limit trades will catch a 2550 pip move opposite my trades. I don't use this
script very often when trading.
If you look at the GBPNZD chart I posted, there was a limit that nearly triggered on that set of
trades.

If you are having trouble seeing the levels, try switching your charts to "line" from candle. You will
need the candles to see the pins, but switching to a line chart can sometimes help locate the levels.

speeding up of the angle of trend. That is the valuable info you need to make trading
decisions.
I was just looking at this chart while doing some homework Bob. Take a look at the weekly time
frame as it provides some clues or additional pieces to the puzzle.
Price has been making higher highs and higher lows off the bottom. An inverse head and shoulders
has completed and price has risen above the neckline.
The previous low has been tested, but a new low was not established. There was a pin that
penetrated the previous low, giving inclination to a false break lower. however, price pulled back
from the pin low, leaving a nice clue for the coming week. It's in the red circle. ;)
The candle formation seen on the chart will also appear in between the railroad track candle
pattern. The Doji is supposed to represent indecision but in reality, it represents deception and
allows the market maker an extra week to sell trend continuation to short biased traders, while
accumulating orders before moving price higher, away from them.
A candle with another long wick or pin down could form this week, but my inclination is towards
higher prices in this pair. It is on my watch list this week.

Sometimes it helps to look at the picture from a different perspective...consider the following

You have assigned a level to a stop hunt at the 3 position....stop hunts don't count as levels...
Notice how the levels form...expect a peak in price on level 3 and then consolidation.....price tends
to "chop" at the top or bottom....

What time frame are you looking for trades upon and why are you looking for the cycle on the D1

A single D1 candle is comprised or 241H candles, 4830M candles or 9615M candles.....
I stated earlier the 3 day cycle coincides with the 15M time frame.....and that on the higher time

There are no red D1 candles on the days I marked up??? 202122

Interesting, but little confusing.

Brokers with gmt+2/3 have no daily Sunday candles, most of us
recommended this because the daily charts will have 5 candles a
week. For example Cowboy Go Markets AU does do so, BUT then
the daily candle 20.03.2013 is a bear candle (marked with a white
arrow). (GlobalPrime will be in the future a gmt +2/3 broker, Jem
please correct me if I am wrong).
Brokers with gmt+0 have! Sunday candles (I dont like these Sunday
candles), and the daily candle 20.03.2013 is a bull candle.

I prefer a gmt+2/3 broker with correct 5 daily candles a week.

:D
Let me make one thing perfectly clear. When looking for levels or counting levels, I am not talking
about the color of a candle. I have stated that the 3 day cycle is 3 days of rising or falling price, that
163/208
06/11/2016
begins from a peak LOW or a peak HIGH. Nowhere do I say to check the color of a daily candle or any
other candles to determine the levels or counts.
What can be more simple than drawing a line from the low to the close of the day to see if price
rose that day?
What can be more simple than drawing a line from the peak high to the close of the day to see if
price fell?
In the NZDUSD example, did price rise from the PEAK low on the 20th? YES! It is the PEAK low and
that is level 1. Don't try to add a bunch of stuff like GMT and candle color to something as simple as
3 days of rising or falling price, from the peak high or peak low.
When it comes down to it, as stated, I prefer a broker whose D1 candle closes at 5PM est to coincide
with NY close and who doesn't use a Sunday candle. BUT, it doesn't matter in the counts because you
begin from the peak low or peak high. Does it rise from the LOW, or does it fall from the HIGH.
Nowhere in this thread is broker time mentioned. Asian, London and NY all operate the same, every
day. Nowhere in this thread is candle color mentioned.
How do you determine peak low or peak high? Seems pretty simple...if price goes lower, then it's not
the peak low now is it? If price goes higher, then it's not the peak high is it?
The candles can all be peppermint sticks and you can still determine if price rose or fell from it's
PEAK LOW or PEAK HIGH.
If somebody does not understand this, I'm sorry, I can't "make" you see this. Open your minds up and
forget all the BS that you've been told about this market.

Hi CJ,
Sorry to bother you again. I would like to draw some lessons on my GJ trade on Friday,
please kindly give me some guidance:
GJ chart below shows 2 long wicks (red) which looked like a good setup for level 3
push, then a pull back in NY session. But after trade was entered but price went
south. Luckily the trade was recovered after the long RRT was formed later and price
come back.
1. Did I read the chart correctly ?
2. Price went below L2 low, would the 3 level push is still valid as price seems
heading to L3 ?
3. Is there situations where 3 level push cannot complete and reset ?
Thank you for your patient.
Ron
Your level and count appear right, but you are trading on the 1H time frame. The patterns are still
the same. Price was in a range....the a 3 candle push dropped below the range into a stop hunt, this
is the pattern. You just got in early.
I entered my UJ trade at the same point on the 15M time frame, price continued lower on it as well
and I took additional entry at the bottom of the stop hunt, closed it at the top of the stop hunt and
rode price back down into the range with another set of orders.
You need to work on identifying the stop hunts, when they hit the stops low then high in this case.
Sometimes they hit them high then low. Depends on the pair and the trend.
Some pair tend to have more pins than others and are harder to trade. NZDUSD is another one with
lots of pins...

Hi Captain Jack
really must say thank you for putting in all your effort into posting n updating and

i'm greatly appreciative of all your work.
i love how you sling out all your orders. "if i'm right i'm right all the way" style. :)
i've done my homework. learn by doing. and just want to clarify just one thing that
bugs me.
i know the 3 pushes will not always be perfect. but the fox will always have to push
his book.
1)how would you handle the missing count in the middle of last week on the EJ 1H
pair?
it did do a nice W. with a small stop hunt after the pins cluster.
2)looking at the way the EJ ended the week. is that counted as 1 push up(although
they pinned it both ways=stop hunt). meaning the peak low(and also cracked week
low) was made?
thanks for teaching us to tag the foxes trail :)
The attachment 130322 ej weekend.png is no longer available
Your chart looks good....and you will not always get 3 levels up or down. How to handle it is to trade
the "W" and the 2 pins to the low give you the clues. The 2 pins down are where the shorts are
trapped and you want to be long there....
Yes, EJ should be at level 1 consolidation and you should not trade short out of this formation....do
not trade back towards the peak low if the fox heads that way...wait for his turn and pin your order
to his a$$! Think of this every time you see those pins.

Yes, sorry CJ, I would have to agree with Fok on the D1 candle for the 20th March
NZDUSD. The strong rise was clearly on the 21st, starting with hour 1 and not the last
2 hours of the 20th by true Forex week.
This again shows the severe weakness in the GMT system. In this case it completely
distorts D1 candles to show 3 rises 20th, 21, & 22 when there were only 2, 21st &
22nd.
You can't really use D1 or H4 candles as being decisively Up or Down when H1 candles
are moved from one day to another by GMT (nonNYClose or Forex open) brokers.
This should not affect trading if M15/H1 is used but people just have to get used to
the fact that H4 & D1 will be different.

You folks are more than welcome to do your level counts any way you want. By my count, day one of
the price rise from the peak low began on the 20th...it's what I base my trades on. You guys are
more than welcome to base yours on your observations of candle color based on any given brokers
time shift. Don't ask me to validate your choices based on your rules. I don't trade based on your
rules and you will find that I will break most of them. You have asked me why I chose the levels I did
and you have received the answer.
It is rules of this very type that the market makers use against you and other traders. You are also
welcome to continue to trade by those rules should you choose to do so. It's your account, you are
responsible for it.
I don't offer trade signals nor trade recommendations. I offer an alternative way of looking at this
market and my ideas for trading it. Those are not open for change and there are no rigid absolutes
in my methods. I am a trader, not an analyst, and least of all not a "cookie cutter purist" or I would
still be doing the same old BS that still doesn't work.
If I sound pissed, it's because I am. I'm trying to tell you that you are trading in a rigged market. It's
rigged against you from the start. You don't stand a chance! Everything you know is a lie, yet you

It's fairly easy...I start with the D1, H4 and H1 time frames, looking for level 1 or level 3's in the
bigger cycles. I do this for every pair. Then I'll drop down into the 15M and look for the correct setup
to enter.
Look for pairs that are at the Hi or Lo of yesterday/today, near the extremes of the ADR. You want
to trade the "edges" in on each setup, not the centers out. I'm a lazy and sloppy trader at times and
when I'm confident of of a pairs direction, I'll take an early entry during and not wait for the
optimum setup. Too many people try for the "perfect" setup. as long as I can grad a nice piece of a
move, I'm happy. It's about making money and it works for me.
Here's one that looks good for a possible drop so I'll keep my stops just above the high and may allow
it to move 25 pips or so past...if they don't get the orders they want, they will bump it a bit further
to add to their positions...sometimes you see that "M" at the top but then it pops up 25 pips or so
past it...

AUD/USD m15
Went short yesterday at the first sign of a Double topping 'M' pattern. Closed the
trade when going to bed as price had not closed below the neck line. When I woke up,
noticed that price had moved lower, retraced to form a new Swing high and was on its
way back down again.
Now I am in profit again, though the stop is at BE, i'll await a new swing high before
moving my stop again.
The key was to bank some profits but also to take the Double top 'M'. Now even if I get
stopped out at BE, i'll have taken some money off the table. Ideally, when there is
divergence on the CCI , i may close some of the current position and reenter short at
the next signal. We'll see.!!

Here's a couple other ways to take entry into the "M" formation.
Look for the RRT pattern on top of the 2nd leg....entry as marked on the large "M" as well as the
smaller...
Another way I'll look to enter is by drawing a line from the low of the 1st leg, to the bottom of the
"V" section of the "M"...when price breaks this line, on the 2nd leg, take entry....
These will get you in a little higher than the "technical" entry point....

I'm not sure about your GJ trade Gerry, a chart would help us to see.....
There is no easy answer for how long to hold on the higher time frame...on the 15M, if you enter a
trade during London, 23hrs should give you a good indication of a correct move. Time slows on the
higher time frames...
Take note of the tick volume on the EC charts you posted...you are entering trades before price
reaches the exhaustion point. When tick volume drops off, the price move is ending and
consolidation is beginning....

hopped onto the EA trade. your timely words on volume exhausting.
i had studied VSA with those soandsos but your explanation is alot clearer functional
and precise.
130328 EA.png
VSA has it's own terminology and theory but I don't follow it's teachings....
The volume indicator is somewhat misleading in forex. In equities, it is the number of shares trading
hands. In forex, it represents price ticks. What's a price tick? Nothing more than an upward or
downward movement in price. Transactions. It takes transactions to create price ticks.
When "tick volume" is low, there are few transactions taking place and price is relatively stable. In
order for price to move large distances, it takes a large amount of transactions taking place, causing
large numbers of price ticks.
When the fox wants to play, increasing tick volume indicates he's in the hen house. The larger the
number of price ticks, the more he can move price. When this tick volume dries up, the fox has left
the building and price will settle and consolidate.
It is said that the fox steps up and controls the 1st and 3rd pushes in the 3 day cycles. It is said he is
absent during the 2nd push, leaving the retail traders and hedge funds to move price in this leg.
Tick volume is useful in the sense it allows us to see when price is hitting that point of exhaustion,
where the tick volume can no longer support further movement. Use it wisely.

I bought off the "W" and sold the 2nd leg of the "M" down, then bought the rise after the low was
held...

for real? i think they think beyond what they see.

but im seeing what you've marked out all over every pair on the 1H's. 1H being easiest
to see that U in the volume. and then seeing whether price is a inverted U for
weakness or a U or flat priceline for strength/accumulation.
really awesome.
learning alot.(n im guessing u use entropy on the larger TFs >4H back then to
highlight stuff too)
it's been a rough end to the week to me. but more to learn n practice seeing and
understanding from your work is a bright light for me. :idea:

what needs to be nailed! n makes actioning upon it so clear n direct.

Finding those boxes is finding the levels. Once you locate the levels, you have

key....

is this box of consolidation referring to the "accumulation" phase in this material you

I would think that you have to go back to the last highest high before you begin your count. If that's
the case, we should be at level 3 low. If we are, you can expect to see a test of the low, but the
previous low should hold and price could rise from that point, to give us a level 1 rise off the peak
low.
Take a look on the D1 as well, you see that they have held price at this level for a day to pick up
contracts. Look for the next D1 candle to pin low, but not lower than the previous D1 candle. A
break and close below the previous low indicates another level down.
The 3rd level down was hit when the the Low formed...the orange circle indicates the day that
price was held at this level to allow accumulation to take place, during the extra day.
Glad to here you are starting out on the right foot and doing well as a new trader. :)

In your count, you have marked the stop hunt as level 2. You can't have 2 levels of rise on 1 day,

Here's an example of what Captain Jack has taught us about how they widen the
spreads and create the pin bars. The spread widened to about 89 pips as the last H1
bar of the day formed. It came back to a 46 pip range by the end of the bar.
It's also interesting that the low of the last bar did not reach the low of the bar at
06:00 (yellow line) keeping the shorts locked in their positions. They can spend the
weekend hoping that the pair tanks on Monday putting them in the money.
Thanks CJ, I see things that went right over my head before. I place trades now with
so much more confidence. I realize that I might not always be right, but I am right
most of the time.
Hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend.
Good example. Watch this happen when they are spiking price during a news event. You will see it
widen at the extreme and come back in line when they are ready to move price the other way...

WOW look at the spread can anyone beat this ?????
There's a lot more going on here on this chart that we haven't gotten into yet. We've touched on the
spread widening but mostly in relation to the pins and hitting stops.
Look at the current status of your short trades here. Even though the candle is well below your
entry, your trades show you are in the red (36 and 34 pips). If you are "candle watching", see this
and close out your orders, then you've just given your money away.
This is how people in margin trouble are forced into closeouts.....
This is how stops are triggered, putting people into bad trades but not allowing TP orders to
close....
If you saw this candle in real time and decided to place an order....look at where a BUY and a SELL
order would have been filled here....
What you see isn't always what you get....that's why I talk about spread widening. It happens on all
brokers, but not to this extent. It is has less of an effect on fixed spread brokers than on ECN type
brokers.
198/208
06/11/2016
So what else is going on here? Fox tracks everywhere when you know what to look for. So much so,
you might even find some fox droppings here...maybe a big old pile of them....
I talk about not using indicators because they don't work in the manner most think they do. 3 of the
big ones are moving averages, pivot levels and fibo levels. Who hasn't used, or still uses moving
averages? Same questions for the fibo and pivot levels. If you use them, as intended, know they will
work when the fox allows them to work. Don't feel bad as you have a lot of company, like the 95% of
other traders who lose money in these markets. It's designed that way. If you use them in the way
the fox does, congratulations...you are probably in the 5% of the people who make money in this
market.
Everybody understands that price creates these levels and that price has tendencies to return to
these levels. We all know this. What we all don't know and understand is that it is the fox who
controls price to create and validate these same levels and lines. I've touched on this before.
Support and demand areas, pivot levels, fibo levels are created as "meeting places" for the bulls and
bears to gather, in order to generate the transactions that are required to move price and generate
profits for the fox. That is the sole purpose price returns to these levels.
Back to the chart....I've not done this ahead of time, but if you were to throw some common moving
averages, S/R levels, pivots or fibos on the chart, you will begin to see what is happening. When
price is brought to a specific area, such as happens during Asian range, support and demand levels
are being created or validated. It happens right in front of our eyes yet people seem to be amazed
that price returns to these levels. They trade these levels based on their perceptions of them and
not the reality of them. It's like the black dot illusion. Even though there is nothing but white dots in
front of our eyes, we still "see" the black ones, therefore they have to be there.
This chart is a 15M chart....look at the last 4 candles...can you tell what just happened? Go ahead
and toss some MA's on, you know you want to. ;) Use some common ones, 5, 14, 21, 34, 50, 100,
200...or any from the hot systems out there....what do you see??
Switch to the 1H chart and look again....what do you see?
You have to understand that a picture is being painted right in front of you and that this same
picture is spread over all the time frames. We will stick to the 15M and 1H for now....what do you
see?
Notice also that price has dropped to and possibly just exceeded the last lowest candle....something
we have covered many times here....pinning to the same low or high....but this isn't a pin...but may
end up as a long set of RRT's, possibly with a star formation thrown in....

thanks so much Captain for this. deep inside i know i don't really know how to count
levels.
are there anymore characteristics you have observed we should look out for in
counting the level of pushes?
2 levels can't rise in the same day
stop hunts are not levels
i've attached AJ for this last week and in that rise up. i was not able to count the 3rd
push before they sank it. do you know where i missed it?
The attachment 130330 aj.png is no longer available
You won't always get 3 clean up or down legs. If they did it that way, we could all read it like a
book...sometimes they throw in the stop hunts, sometimes it will rise of fall and extra level or 2. It
may come up short a level or two. It all depends on where the money is for them.

Example : I Spot a good "W", I want to go long at the "\/\_" leg

Post some charts where the trades failed Lio, it will help to analyze what
went wrong....
CJ
Thanks CJ, here is one on cable.

1. I saw a "W" but my bias was to the downside on cable so I decided to go short at the
"V" from the "W", my target was to lock at the bottom to see what is going on
(honnestly I was expecting a break to the downside).
2. Doesn't do what it should do ... so I reshorted at a new high. Trade was in profit
and I could exit both for a BE but my bias was still fixed to the downside.
3.I saw a big spike late in the day, so I decide to short again around a new high
retest. Was end of day so chances were to a retrace ...
Unfortunately nope, nothing worked and I existed with a 1% loss overall.
When reviewing bad trades after the week, the errors we made are always crystal
clear ... unfortunately this isn't happening when you hit the button in a live market.
I think my biggest mistake here was to enter on the "V" instead of waiting the
complete W formation (which never happened btw).
CJ, Please comment :)
PS : Reviewing bad trades in "public" is a kind of a therapy :) Everyone should do that
!
Yes, unfortunately, this isn't the way to trade the "W" and "M" formations....
You should have determined what level or step in the cycle the pair was currently trading in. This
gives you an idea of where price will go, either up or down in the cycle.
GBPUSD had just completed its drop and formed a peak low...this should tell you the pair bias is
long, not short. All the pins are to the low and shorts are trapped there. You just happened to
become a short who got trapped at a higher level because you will still thinking short...
Price rose from the low and consolidated....it then broke higher, where the stop hunt began. Look at
the 3 "momentum" candles that drove price to the bottom of what you label as the 1st leg of the
"W"...these are the 3 pushes lower that convince you that price is going south. The pin here is the
clue to go long....
When shorts are trapped, there is no reason to lower price again and give them a chance to exit...
There is another stop hunt at the point you label 3...they hit the stops high and then low, this is a
clue to add to your long...you buy the stop hunt on the way up and sell them on the way down... I
think I mentioned that before in the thread.
Look at past levels and notice how they use the stop hunts in between the levels...they are always
there...
Thanks for posting the chart and your trades Lio. It helps to see where we go wrong and why we go
wrong at those places. We can all benefit from these trade reviews.

Hi CJ, can you clarify for me the fox strategy in during a stop hunt in the middle of a
3 phase run. If in this example there's a pin high this is allowing entries going long in
the same direction as the fox which isn't what the fox wants, and I'm guessing it's not
offloading because the fox hasnt finished yet, so the only thing I can think off is
making some quick kills along the way because price also drops to the downside
possibly enough to stop out the new bulls and pick up some bears along the way?
Thanks
