Intro
If at first you don’t succeed. Try again!
In our PA training we learn to look for two attempts.
We look for a 2nd reversal.
Now sometimes this 2nd reversal attempt gets a test, we call a 3-push pattern / wedge but really I see it as a test of the two before.
Practice:
– Find 20 Double Tops and see how the market tested it before accepting / rejecting it.
– Do the same for Double Bottoms.
– What qualifies as a good test / or not?
– Practice in simulator taking the trades that work and don’t work. How can you protect and get out from the bad ones?
Bull Version
– One of my favorite trades is waiting for the second attempt to fail – a weak reversal and trading as they leave.

– They were my only 3 trades yesterday and luckily they all worked. Obviously unreasonable to expect it always to be that way but happy nonetheless!

The Bear Version
– So when the market is going down and forming weak reversals up, High 2, we can fade these to MM down.

Practice
– Observe how traders who are in the losing side can scale in 2x the signal bar to get out sometimes
– Observe how you can go from flat to entering a trade when the reversal is weak
– Observe how you can stay longer in a trade for one more push when you don’t have a reason to exit.
