False Setups &
Protecting
Against the Head
Fakes
THE FOREX SECRET
False Setups
 Trading comes down to who can realize profits from
their edge in the market.
 While it is easy to scroll through charts and see all
the winners, the market is one big cat and mouse
game.
 Between the quants and smart money, the false
setups are everywhere.
 As a price action trader, you cannot rely on other off-
chart indicators to provide you clues that a formation
is false.
False Setups
 Just to be clear, the chart formation is always
your first signal, but if the charts are unclear,
time is always the deciding factor.
 I did a study of all my winning trades and over
85% of them paid in full within 5 minutes.
How to Protect
Against the
Head Fakes
 There are many ways
you can protect
yourself against head
fakes.
 For starters, do not
go hog wild with your
capital in one
position.
Protecting Against the
Head Fakes
 Make sure you leave yourself enough
cushion, so you do not get antsy with every
bar that prints.
 Also, let time play to your favor. I know there
is an urge in this business to act quickly.
 However, there is some merit in seeing how
a stock will trade after hitting a key support
or resistance level for a few minutes.
Where to Place Your
Stops
 One thing to consider is placing your stop above or
below key levels.
 Since you are using price as your means to measure the
market, these levels are easy to identify.
 Now one easy way to do this as mentioned previously
in this article is to use swing points.
 A more advanced method is to use daily pivot points.
