Your second chart could have been this with a pending order. I don't care to trade higher than 5 minutes because I feel the swings are too large, but this would have worked. I use the most recent Hull swing with take profit at the nearest 25 or 50 ...

This is how I would have traded your first chart. Two lovely trades here with pending orders not waiting for the candle to close. I would have stopped after the first one. The second potential trade is precisely why I don't like moving to break even ...

Yes. So take the other day for example. I sit down at my computer with my fresh coffee at about 7:50 (ten minutes before the NY open) and identify the most recent swings in the London session and make my assessments (looking at ATR reached for the ...

Isn't that the nature of trading? Price can always go the other way For every reason TO enter a trade there are reasons NOT to enter a trade. There is nothing in the world that I have found that can accurately predict the direction ...

Totally...those are my exact observations over the years. Now the trick is to stop getting bored and system hop and tinker with what, so far, is not broken! I am sooooo guilty of over trading, tinkering with a system to make it "better" and reading ...

Well that was a quick one! Just sat down for the New York open and placed a pending buy order possibly a little prematurely I admit. The Hull was red and turning down where I have the dashed white line so I placed a pending buy order at that point. ...

I pretty much only trade the GBPUSD at the NY open on the 5 minute chart. I like this pair because it has decent moves and a low spread. I don't care to watch multiple pairs and I don't think it is necessary. The GBPUSD moves plenty enough to make ...

Good luck to you! I hate trading this pair. I have never won a trade with it

Nice trade. Done for the day

We are all millionaires looking at historical charts. I can pick out winning trades all day long looking at the past, printed data...on a live chart, however, no one can predict what will happen with any degree of consistent accuracy. It's really ...

I heavily back tested this strategy with automation and ran damned near every conceivable MM, stop loss, take profit, trail stop, martingale, trade opening buffer amount, etc and it fails long term mostly due to all the times getting whip sawed ...

(binned per thread starter's request) First H4 Candle of the Week

First trade was a loss. The trade was triggered with a pending order vs. waiting for the candle to close above the level. I am of a mixed opinion on this - I'll have to keep watch on how many bad trades the pending orders get me into. The second ...

This strategy looks very interesting. I have been playing around with it for the last few days. Here is a trade I just made for +16 pips and that will be it for me for the day - this added 13.43% to the account and I am up 49.91% for the week. I ...

I abandoned it as well. I just couldn't seem to catch any decent trades that would make up for the losses+commission and quite frankly don't enjoy sitting in front of the computer all day waiting for a set up. I dunno, I have always felt the ...

I've done extensive automated back testing with this idea and you WILL blow up your account eventually. You need a massive account to be able to withstand an eventual brutal ranging period. So you essentially make peanuts on your massive account ...

Brainstorming on identifying the right direction

Ya! I just got to my desk and saw that move! Sometimes I really hate living in Mexico where I just can't wake up early enough :-( I don't like the notion of splitting a position either. From any back testing I've done it is always more profitable to ...
