This lesson is guaranteed to spark your interest in timed buy- and sell-stop (TBSS) entries. I have taught this tactic as one of five Hidden Pivot entry methods, but de-emphasized it in recent years because it seemed less useful than the other four: conventional, mechanical, camouflage and counterintuitive. Watch the two perfect TBSS set-ups we considered here and you may find yourself doing nothing but TBSS trades. The technique cannot be taught with static Powerpoint slides because the logic behind it is not only dynamic, but quite subtle. However, TBSS does explicitly use conventional Hidden Pivot levels in a way that can open the door to many opportunities we might otherwise discard. It also offers a chance to reduce entry risk to even lower levels than are possible with ‘camouflage’.
