Now how do I determine when to activate a trade. . .well here's how I do it, I will draw my fashion lines and look to be sure on the setup chart that we are in the area of the MA lines which we have our confluence of S/R at the exact same place, today I will switch to a lesser timeframe, typically I use a divide by 4 rule, if we are on the hourly chart for a setup chart then I use the 15 minute chart for a activate chart that way you can observe the price action easier. I wait patiently for your price to break the counter trend line and then I WAIT again however this time I wait for a pullback, I like to see about 4 or 3 pub pullback then when the price breaks below the start of the pullback that is where I activate the trade, I set my Cease right at the area where the pullback ended or a few pips below or above. . .And I don't move it, if it backs up and triggers my halt, then so be it. I will give examples of I set my goals using this system, and how I do so. And I don't trade if the pip spread is higher than 7 pips, if it's then I leave it and look for spreads, but this is how I get it done.

Always remember that the higher time frames will probably prevail within the smaller time frames. There'll be tendencies within tendencies. . .etc
