Thats probably because there is not one.

Its all dependant on the individuals assesment of risk and opportunity. Everyone has their own 'formula' as to when they will enter, and most dont have a formula for exit.

Although it may seem like a sell-out strategy, there is no right answer with regards to entry and exits. Why? due tio the fact that it is a very personal decision. don't buy into the idea that the pros have devceloped infallible algorithms that spit-out profits every trade and every day, it doesn't happen in the real world.

You as a trader must choose or develop a method that you have unconditional confidence using everyday.You cannot rely upon anyone to share a fail-safe system. What works for Trader A does not necessarily work for Trader B due to core beliefs, biases and social mores. Everyone selling systems or seminars never touch upon this fact.

Also with the markets trading in a range 70% of the time you must develop a method for that type of market, as well as a strategy to use when the markets are trending.

I hate not to be able to give you a concise answer but in reality there isn't one. one way that might work for everyone is to clue into what is hot at the moment and buy on breakouts of your choice of ma's e.g., 3ema over 8ema and place stop under the low of your trading time frame or 2 * your trading time frame. This is all dependent upon your capital, risk comfort or distress level and type of trader you decide or are most comfortable.

I hope this helps to clarify a very complex decision.
