That strategy generally causes quite a bit of pain prior to the reward. Ask Romik.

i'm trying to get in on the trend sooner than the MA crossover, and was reading about Trader Vic's 123 reversal, which seems good for that purpose

You are entering on stops right?
 
I don't know which crossover method's being used, but ImPO if you are talking about intraday action then I consider multiple crossovers as a better indicator of either strengthening or weakening price action. Weakening near HOD after a run up & strengthening near LOD after a decline :)

you mean using 3 MA's?
 
Quote from Chuck Krug:

yes, i'm planning to, although my sell stop for zb just now didn't go through. Must look into that

This is a strategy that buys breakouts and sells breakdowns. If managed properly, the system works, but most trades will likely end in losses. Most people will give up after just a few losses and then kick themselves as they sit on the sideline watching the trade that they did not take turn into a huge winner. If you can forget about winning percentage and just concentrate on making the losses small and the winners big, then you may have a chance. Of course, that applies to all types of trading and is the only true edge in trading.

Re-entered at 1313.5 + the open position at 1328.5/Stop at 1291 on all for now.

I exited this last add at 1324.25 ... + 10.75 early this morning on a limit placed last night.

Sorry I couldn't post it in realtime as I was still sleeping when it happened. So for journal integrity, here's the close out of that trade.
