tj, to have such a long-term view from 2002 and only to be only long since then is not smart in my opinion. look at price going down in 2014 from 1.4000 to 1.0500 in 2015 - you`re still long with a massive drawdown? would rather be a swing trader.

maybe so Xaron and you have been overleveraged in the past with a small sub-account from your main one, but the thing is you wont give up! am sure you`ll agree with me that if you use low leverage and be disciplined, a return of 50-100% ...

the big money will be in placing your grid on a trending instrument, be it currencies, commodities, equities etc. so don't be married to 1 instrument, but choose one which is trending. it is more forgiving if your trade is not the best. I find ...

hey Xaron, thank you for giving me the opportunity to clog up your thread regarding your vision on the EUR/USD: am not so sure myself about an upturn of this pair. if I look at the stock markets, I see an uptrend for 7 years already from March ...

the basic idea of BWILC is to trade only 1 instrument (say EUR/USD) in only 1 direction (say only buys). the direction is determined by your belief of the direction of price: is it trending up - we only buy.......... trending down - we only sell. ...

you can make your own chart and draw 5 horizontal lines on the daily TF EUR/USD @ 1.0800 - 1.0950 - 1.1100 - 1.1250 and 1.1400. the idea is to try to buy most in the 1st quarter 1.08-1.0950 and exit in the highest quarter, the 4th quarter ...

Xaron, your EUR/USD grid is 1.08-1.14..... buys @ 1.1273 1.1200 1.1141 are those buys not a bit too high in your grid being in the 3rd and 4th quadrant or do you have other reasons to take them?

hey BBW, this is not a grid system in the usual way where you for instance buy/sell every 30 pips up or down. the grid here is meant to see the price action better and buy in the lower quadrants and sell in the higher ones. it is a good system and ...

looks to me like the grid drawn by "bird watching in lion`s country" writer. his quarters are not exactly the same size: lines can be drawn to point out support and resistance within the grid. I use the grid with the same quarter size in my trading ...

Trading "The Quarters Theory" from Ilian Yotov

price can go up for a long time: you only have to look at the indices like Nasdaq100 where you have trends lasting 5-9 years and go bust in 1-2 years and start all over again. just be prepared for the bust when you`re long.

as long as price keeps going up, there will be only winners........

you have a lot of experience with this way of trading and I wonder if this idea might be better than entering once a week. we connect the highs and we connect the lows to form a channel. we buy at the bottom of the channel, close out at the top of ...
