The ideal entry model consists of the confluence of Structure, Price and Momentum...and occasionally a static time cycle. Structure is contained by the rules of Serial Sequent, and includes concurrence between the four futures contracts we trade. But sometimes, Structure and Momentum targets are fulfilled without the price level of the Pivot Exhaustion Grid being reached. Today, this happened twice and left me on the sidelines for two clean and significant moves among what otherwise were a lot of choppy other opportunities. Resolution: adjust for an incomplete model by size of entry. Such entries would have at least deserved a 1-lot play, and could easily been entered near their turns by use of a stop order type entry. Compromise. The ideal entry opportunities simply do not always show.
