The settings are from BB which is the same as Toptrend but it is not the current default settings.

Got it. Thank you.
A real nice tool for managing exits!

Yes, it's true the outcome of your trading profit depends on your discipline mind. It's hard to wait and wait for the right entrance, but for the sake of making consistent profit, it's worthed.

This is my first month using Trix...

Trading plan comes first.

Demo trading 1-3 months comes next.

I keep emphasis on hint 2 in the manual and follow the checklist.

Many feel the need to try many indicators in the beginning of their trading journey as a security blanket..... These do reduce as traders travel further into their trading journey.

I find the Price action with my 3 basic rules has served me well over the years.
1. trading with higher timeframe participation (MTF TRIx METER)
2. respect s&R (auto pivots,/ fibonacci,/ round numbers etc)
3. respect divergence ( this is my way of knowing the trend is weakening/strengthening).

I am trading H4 TF not the lower ones due to my personal commitments.

Discipline and mindset and money management is vitally important.

Shall look forward to following your journey on the thread and I am sure with dedication and commitment you will find trading becoming easier and easier and account balance increasing as well.

Lrathi, thank you for the video. I took "the moment" to listen.

You are welcome Mary!

I had a few AHA! moments with both THE POWER OF NOW and THE NEW EARTH.

Thanks to Gleneagles for his posts on sticking to our trading plan. I have printed and laminated the posts and will read them each day before I start trading, hopefully it will start to sink into my thick head.

Cheers

Todays philosophy lesson(its an old one) beware the ego. The ego tries to tell us that trading is hard so that when we succeed we can put ourselves on a pedestal and say how smart we are and when we fail it tells us how useless we are. Either way it strengthens itself--a win win for it and a lose lose for us. A strong ego submerges the true self. Hey, I may not know a lot about trading but you can trust me on this ego stuff!
Here's a couple of pretty pictures as well.

I still trade every trade with my checklist to make sure I trade with an edge.
One in a while I get too clever and break the rules. Luckily the human body is designed in such a way that it is difficult to kick your own backside

I cannot really remember all the great trades that paid plenty pips but I remember most of the trades I lost because I did not stick to the rules!

Looks like the body designer up there thought he has take care of us traders when we "get too clever and break the rules". Does that mean we have been given due recognition as an approved vocation or profession?

I had no insight in the first draft of the design but it works for me

How is your trading journey? Anything to share here? It will be good.

Thanks for your compliments..... sometimes the patience does wear thin .
Try to do my best.

Hi Lrathi,

Trading is going well. MTF Trix Strategy has proven itself to be robust and profitable. It compliments my preferred method of trading breakouts. I will start posting trading results here. Happy trading.

Look forward to you sharing your trades here. Breakouts come after consolidation periods of price.... ( RANGING MARKET CONDITIONS)
so MTF TRIX ( TREND-FOLLOWING STRATEGY) will compliment this trading plan that you trade.

Breakouts after market consolidation usually happen during Japan/Australia markets openings.

Hi everyone. I trust we all had a good weekend.

As you are all aware, Glen is of the opinion that the way forward for those traders seeking to deepen their knowledge of his trading techniques will be via a private forum. I have received many PM's from folks wanting to be put on the list for this forum. Glen has expressed that he would rather teach a handful of dedicated learners than a multitude of window shoppers. This is quite understandable, given that those who are serious about developing their trading plans further will naturally be more likely to not only take notice of the lessons to be learned, but also will take much more responsibility for the trades they take with the system.

It has been suggested that perhaps the best way to gauge if someone has handled the basics and is having some level of success with the trading plan as it currently exists, is for traders to continually post their charts and/or account summaries on a daily or weekly basis. If you trade MTF live, and you don’t want to share your personal information with the rest of the planet, a screenshot of the trades should be sufficient.

Again, post the good ones as well as the ones that didn't come off. YOU WILL NOT BE MADE TO LOOK LIKE A FOOL ON THIS THREAD, so feel free to post your unsuccessful trades. We can all learn from both sides of the ledger here. In terms of the 'stuff-ups', see if you violated any aspect of your trading plan or if it was just one of those trades that should have worked, but simply didn't.

But, only go to this trouble if you want either to just be an active participant in this thread, or if you seek to go on to the private forum. This thread can then become the 'proving ground' if you like. I am loathed to say that we must first 'graduate' from here to get to the private thread, but in a sense, it amounts to the same thing...

So, it's time to get serious. If you are keen to take your trading up a notch (or several), then trade some setups and post them on the thread.

It has also been suggested that it might be an idea for trader's seeking to 'graduate' to formalise their trading plans if they have not done so already. For clarification, lrathi provided a hint to a link a few days ago to some great resources in this regard. Have a bit of a look, and formalise your own plan. Take the time to have a look. It will make you ask questions of yourself that you may not have considered before, and will certainly enlighten your trading strategy.

A trading plan is important for many reasons. Firstly, it means that you have ownership of your trades. It 'machinates' a very emotive process. It assists in making tangible the intangible. If you don't trade off a plan, it will be interesting to see what changes one will make to YOUR bottom line.

At the end of the day, what we are looking for is your level of professionalism. When you think about it, we owe it to ourselves to bring as much professionalism to bear in our ventures anyway.

So, at this stage, the encouragement is for folks to post their trades and to begin working to a set trading plan if you do not already have one. We have a reasonably simple setup here, so it should not be hard for individuals to run up a full trading plan and stick it beside their computers. When posting, just let everyone know which setup you used, and what your targets were/what you actualised from the trade.

At the end of the day, what each one of us has available to us currently is the wisdom of a professional trader, and instead of asking us to cross his palm with silver, attend a seminar or buy a $5000 DVD series, ALL he wants from us is to prove to him that our personal level of interest is real and that we have put a reasonable amount of effort into trading the existing setup he has provided us with. I would say that this is a pretty sweet deal!

Having said that, I wish everyone the best of luck for the week.

[luckylady]

Fantastic result Lrathi, could I just ask though what your technique is for watching so many pairs, do you just watch certain pairs at certain times or do you watch them all at the same time?

[PeterE]

Good opportunity PPP. I'll start putting up my Trix trades again.

An explanation of why the trade was taken, entry, exit, stop etc is also a good idea. Because its actually very easy to throw trades at a simulator get some positive results and then think you are moving forward.

But when we go to cash, without a water-tight plan, emotion invariably kicks in, and we are left wondering why it just isnt working any more.
