WHAT IS A SECOND ENTRY ?

That's an accurate assessment.

In all his teaching he misses the simple TA setup to trade the first strong close after a swing pivot.
he is a scalper

he trades 5 min.

in 5 min he says a 4 point move is a swing.

so if you are looking for swings of 30-100 points, you do not look to Brooks
.

but if you are looking to make 40 one point trades in one US session then Brooks is your man.

So to say Brooks is a fraud, is like saying a screwdriver is fraud, because a screw driver cannot open a bolt.

or to say a bus is a fraud, because it cannot cross a river.

He waits

and gets less of the cheese.

but he is safer because he knows the cheese is not in mouse trap or that a cat is waiting : he avoids the trap


that is the whole point of the second entry. most times it is a scalp.

but by waiting for a
safer entry , for a second entry ,you miss the strongest trends.

in trading it is always a trade off

in strong trend, everyone is in hurry, there is urgency, the market moves before you can blink so the first entry is the only option.

see this is where Brooks is different: he tries to explain these things but he makes a right royal mess of it.

i think i explain better than him

Maybe I don't fully understand you, but I don't think that's what Brooks meant by second entry.

Take a look at this video. He does a better explaining than both you and Brooks ;):

 
It's the same principle that others call a "Test". The Market Makers will test to see if all the Overhead Supply has been removed before the next Bull run.

Like The Legend Padu says, Brooks just renamed it.
 
that is one problem with Brooks.... you are never sure what he means :banghead::banghead::D
Grrr, you didn't understand me earlier in the other thread either. Would you like me to spell it out for you this time? First and second entries don't mean anything without first considering the failed traps from the opposite side. :banghead:
