There is a host of various kinds of methods but the simplest way to make money is trading flags in a trend. YOU can do it on any time frame and any pair. In other words trade the pullback in a trend do this and you will find your self not looking on the forex factory threads except to see when news is happening. YOU WILL FIND ON PAGE 319 POST 4780 THE RULES FOR TRADING !!!!!

I use trend trading as well, with Demark trendline indicators, etc. This looks like a simple and effective trading method. Do you only trade the 1 hr T? More please!

Would you be willing to share your Retracement indicator with us?

the way to trade the trend is not with indicator crosses or any other kind of indicator to tell you there is a trend thats the best way to get whipped. Firstly a trend is defined as higher highs and higher lows for uptrend and lower lows lower highs for down so if you can see that then all thats needed once a trend has formed is to trade the pullbacks. i am not starting this thread to be an on going thing just tired of all the systems on here this is the frame work to making money. I trade the 5 min chart eurusd never look for more that 26 pips stop is always last nearest swing sometimes its the trigger bar this works on any pair any time frame any market period.

During the US lending crisis, I saw symmetric triangles all over the place on financial stocks, so many I had a theory they especially applied due to their speed of use (when more a flag and pole).
Looking forward to how you apply flags to currency pairs.
