There's no reason why it shouldn't be, apart from over-complicating something that is either present or not in the right area. That's pretty much what trading in general is tbh.

The "V" trading system

I've just noticed another thread has been created along the same lines as this one for all intents and purposes, albeit cloaked slightly differently lol No problem with that at all, it happens all over the forums, and becomes a case of "ya pays ya ...

The "V" trading system

A further update TP1 hit and also closed out the initial market order net 310 pips. TP2 @ TP3 now closed half of each, stops adjusted, nothing but profit now as it stands. I can now consider add on trades via h4 upon a suitable V, using the equity ...

The "V" trading system

It's important to remove unnecessary clutter/indicators etc. The chart I've shown for example probably seems basic,, and it is meant to be, yet still contains all that I need, so that my focus remains only on making an informed decision from that ...

The "V" trading system

There are hundreds of ways to target levels. One of the big problems that the majority of traders tend to experience is exiting prematurely. This is one of my reasons why I usually have at least 3 positions in play. The idea being that I take TP1 & ...

The "V" trading system

A brief update. The set of 3 pending shorts triggered, which means I have 4 trades open which includes the initial market order. No real market momentum to the downside yet to speak of, but looking more promising. I've no reason to tinker with these ...

The "V" trading system

I'm of the opinion that few if any strategies can work in isolation. and think that some corroborating means to support a potential trade needs to be present also. The V system is no different in that respect so far as I'm concerned, which means ...

The "V" trading system

USDCHF longs in place now as per previous plan more or less . d1, h4, h1 are satisfactory shapes for me in this case which I am interested enough in, and similar as before. Will require patience as usual, and I'll update progress if anything worth ...

The "V" trading system

Yes...that is true. But don't get me wrong, there is a place for small t/f trading like m15, m30, particularly on Mondays and Tuesdays and I often operate using that approach. By then normally a pattern has emerged for the week for position trading ...

The "V" trading system

Shorting EJ now on a small position single market order in case my pending set of 3 shorts at a better price miss the bus, ref w1 @ d1 analysis which includes my own V interpretation of what I like to see. I'll update if anything worth reporting ie ...

The "V" trading system

I covered some stuff on "V' set ups a few years back on the Kobol thread. It gained little interest back then, but I'm always aware of the formation when I look at potential entries. Any t/f and pair can be effective applying the general V "shape" ...

The "V" trading system

I'm no volume specialist that's for sure, but can only see value using volume on very small t/fs....ie quick in and out scalping type of strategy where entry and exit are obviously that much more critical. Therefore, certainly with my style of ...

Taken a Gold short trade on. H4 dominant, H1 trigger Looking for 1:3 RR. Will manage if and when as required. image

Wiz Index

Here's a pretty good example of EG starting to set up for a short for me. H4 shows why short preference, H1 shows area where I reckon I can expect a sell signal. I don't know how any of that aligns to volume analysis, and might be interesting to ...

Wiz Index

We see across most threads various methods to find the optimum point of entries. For me, there are some key factors in choosing a method and must include: reliability, repeatability, flexibility, versatility, opportunity ....and such like. Top of my ...

I've used semaphore for years. For some it is difficult to use mainly because as you have said, it is dynamic. But knowing that fact for me has become an advantage by applying it's characteristics to my style of trading which is predominantly based ...

Wiz Index

No decision so far as I'm concerned from a TA pov. The absence of a t/f on the chart in particular prevents target making for me. In addition, I don't trade from a naked candle chart, I personally require references. You provide more info, then I'll ...

5 years and still no strategy

Understood, especially when the ends(output) do not justify the means (input). The majority of threads get bogged down and tired, often by repetition of saying the same thing over and over. Imagine if there were only one t/f on our charts that we ...

Intraday Trend - Retrace - Resume - Enter

Naturally, no one wants to lose money when taking a position, but a balanced tolerance to risk is a necessary part of trading. Intolerance to risk, particularly when operating on low t/fs is bound to kick you out of trades as often as not. Your ...

A top post mate...very well said! The bottom line is no one can fix anothers psyche however frustratingly deranged or opposing they are to our own. It's the nature of the beast known as FF
