Dear Howardroark
First of all my congrates and thanks to you having started this thread, I face a small problem in execution of trade using PA.
While trading in Futures of equity, suppose if there is BUEB,one has to go long above the high of bueb and keep a SL below the low of BUEB or vice versa in bearish EB,The problem is that the lot size in India is so big that if the move fails and s/l hit ,there is a substantial loss,and fears are developed entering another such move ,can you suggest some remedy to avoid such substantial loss ?
Also how to confirm that a Candle is BUEB apart from engulfing criterion (like do we have to see its location from bottom/Top bar of the particular TF,so that there are least chances of failure and we are doubly sure that yes this is BUEB only and the price can not go down now before giving me some profit say at least 2 candles with good body.

Lot size is not an excuse, your account size should withstand 100sl hits.
I had learnt this in hard way. This may eliminates the fear.

Fine tuning the entry to avoid SL hits... yes every trader may done this in their amateur days . But this wont save your capital .

Hi.
Thanks for dropping by.
Please do ask questions along with charts. Will help me to profile your requirement better.
Trust me. Razor sharp entries possible, with minimum RDD. I have a strategy, where in the trade gets into profit with maximum 15 pips / points or I will kill the trade. The +ve expectancy of this strategy stands at almost 80% ... Judge the ROI ...
Regards,

Hi,
My a/c was capable of handling 200 s/l and it has handled also,but thats not the way,thats why we are here,if you allow s/l to be hit your a/c will shrink fast like mine and mind well its not fear , its care in my case since now I cant afford any more s/l to be hit .If one has fear, he should not trade,now because I want to trade long life with this small capital ( which was large at times ) ,I want to learn better and then trade to inflat my capital so that I can trade longer,but always with care, thats most important,for that I am studying and will come up with a novel way of trading in near future,I will share that way here once I am done and tested for at least one year,till then wait !!

You allowed 200 points SL to be hit ... That is insane ... Sorry to be blunt ...
35 pips is the largest SL I have taken, that too as I was not in front of system to manage the trade ...
If i'm managing the trade, i walk away with maximum 15 pips, never ever beyond it ...
"LIVE ANOTHER DAY" ... should be every trader's ... every day Vouch / Swear / resolution ... whatever you call it ...

Though there are other Candle Stick patterns, these are the patterns that I personally look for in my daily trading life and there is one more pattern – Hammer and Inverted Hammer, which I will cover in future topic.

Trend
Now, that we have learnt the basic Candle Patterns, let us move ahead.
Everyone says, ride / drive the Trend, be friend the Trend etc. How do we know / realise or define The Trend?
When the market flows / moves in ONE DIRECTION, it is called as a TREND. As we have learnt, each Candle has OHLC (Open, High, Low and Close). When the market starts making series of Higher Low’s and Higher High’s, we call it an Up Trend. When the market starts making series of Lower High’s and Lower Low’s, we define it as a Down Trend.


Guys, I'm extremely sorry ...
In UPTREND, it has to be HL (Higher Low), instead of LH (Lower high)

Market Structure and Market Harmonics
Market Harmonics believes in the theory that Market has a Structure and this Structure leaves Clues. If we “LOOK LEFT”, we can observe those areas, where Price has left various clues for us to analyse and make decisions.
Market Harmonics believes that the Market / Price Moves in Symmetrical Waves / Swings and these waves and Swings leave Clues. And these waves / swings travel symmetrically, both in time and distance.
On Smaller Time Frames, individual Candle HL / HH and LH / LL becomes significant. On Higher Time Frames, Swing H / L, new Structure H / L plays significant role, leaving New Structure H /L. And these structure H / L become Key Price Levels, famously known as Resistance and Support Levels.

Confluence
Confluence is more of a zone, than a particular place / value / price. Confluence happens when more than one Resistance / Support come in to play. With the combination of previous Resistance and / or support levels along with Trend line / Previous Day /Week / Month H / L, Pivot / 200 EMA / different Fib Levels etc, Confluence becomes stronger Support / Resistance zone.
