In actual fact, take a look at the signal before my first entry. That would have been nice too, a reasonable pullback on the ha but very smooth stochastics.

Here's the audusd entry that led to a 500 pip trade. It was just going sideways, finding resistance below the 1.02 level, then popped up a bit and closed back below the 1.02 level so I took it. It's not a very pretty signal but I sold at resistance ...

It doesn't have to be a doji and it doesn't necessarily have to have no wick. I like to see a smooth pullback to s/r and then a smooth stoch cross and a smooth ha turn but if it looks like a convincing turn and the price closed below s/r in the ...

The system now is exactly the same as the system on the previous pdf with the daily/hourly. You wait for a signal on the higher timeframe and then you can reasonably safely expect a trend in that direction on the lower timeframe. I prefer the higher ...

Thanks, never been that far away but concentrating on other things.

That's always an option. Try an 8 ema for trailing tightly behind ha candles. To my mind if you're using a higher timeframe to wait for a signal and then you are using a lower timeframe to trade the expected trend then it makes more sense to me to ...

Well it trades more or less opposite to eurusd so I would expect it to push up some but I'm going to stick with the eurusd and wait for a good entry on that.

It is my favourite system. You just need a bit of patience and fortitude.

Entered audusd and gbpusd and brought the stops in a bit.

Audusd and gbpusd looking interesting for an entry again. Another 30 mins until the candle closes so I'll see then. Both have turned around overnight and both are trading below resistance again. If I do take them I will bring the stops in just ...

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Quite a bit of movement today. Audusd second entry out at break even. Eurusd out for a loss. Gbpusd still hanging on but pulling back. So it's back to just waiting patiently for the next signal. The first audusd trade is doing ok that's something to ...

Just sold eurusd again. It's quite volatile at the moment but the momentum is down so it's worth another go.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Well, that was interesting. All three pairs I am watching have had a bit of a spiky day. Audusd is now at break even on the second trade. I'm not going to take any more entries on this pair now. If that second entry survives then I am just going to ...

Gbp is the weakest at the moment, 2 day of bad news in a row.

The news just gave gbpusd a nice push, break even now. Audusd starting to go in the right direction slowly too.

I just sold audusd again. I would have preferred to sell it 4 hours ago but that was the middle of the night. Nothing I can do about that. Gbpusd has gone down a little overnight so it looks like that trade may survive a bit longer.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Eurusd and audusd out for a loss. Gbpusd still running. Got the original trades on eurusd and audusd too so I'll just wait for another signal on those.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

My trades were more to do with the trend and the resistance rather than a perfect signal. I have spoken before about more "advanced" entries.

Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

Just sold audusd, eurusd and gbpusd. They all look nice, turning round and trading just below resistance. I'll move the stops in a little tighter than 2 ATR in this instance because I have opened three trades at the same time. This will bring my ...

I'm watching eurusd at 1.29 and gbpusd at 1.5250. Both nice levels and both look reasonable trades if they set up. 10am (gmt +1) is my next candle so I'll look then.
