    another way of thinking is that if the market is a range, and you take both bear and bull trading signals [ H1H2 L1 L2 ] you will make money on both signals. if you then lose money on one trade, then the market is in BO and so you can reverse the lost trade and make money. this is what...

    you are totally confused. just because you trade 5 min you should scalp? scalp or swing depends on market cycle....... if in a strong trend ,stop order bulls/bears lose money then hold for a swing. once stop order bulls/bears make money .....it is no longer a strong trend and you can begin to...

    i would rather do this than get stopped out using tight stop. of course you can always re-enter.......... but i rather use a wide stop .........if if you avoid doing this in what is a fairly strong trend or tight channel, then it is unlikely that the wide stop will be hit. if market does...

    wide stops yes but big risk no......trade small scale in small and do it many times. but this takes commitment and trust [with your read] and patience all trends even the strongest ones slowly become ranging......it is here if you buy above bars and sell below that you may get whipsawed

    markets move just like brooks says they do.......they repeat. the problem is in understanding it, seeing it in live markets and then trusting it..... it is a process that takes time and most give up before time

    true it also has to be aligned with your psyche. and with market conditions... scaling in when there is a strongish trend is suicide. brooks make this point strongly ... he says he can make the same money swinging BUT he scalps..WHY? because he finds it the comfortable thing to do......if...
