In her book, there is an extensive description of the various entries. Nice, 
although they didn't make much sense to me. By that, I mean 1 hour later I had 
to look up again to remember what it was all about. Nevertheless between the 
lines one can see it doesn't really matter how she enters, she seems to have an 
excellent feeling for flow. Ie, if she senses the flow of the market, she'll 
use her patterns, which she probably knows by heart to get in, and then time 
stop or trail stop on lower time frame swing breaks or so.

The systems sold with the book test poorly at best, but I believe she doesn't 
use these techniques as systems but as triggers. The flow is determinant for 
the entry setup, the pattern for the trigger, the position management 
thereafter for generating the profits.

Might be wrong, but don't think to be far off.

FWIW

| Hi Gwenn,
|
| What do you mean, "her edge is in the exits not in the entries"? Either
| their is an edge or there isn't, right? Perhaps a little timing technique
| applied to the setups might improve their performance. I do not have the
| book but I'm familiar with some of the setups. I'd like to hear more from
| you on your experience.
|
| Regards,
|
