It is amazing how one chooses to complicate their lives and the other doesn't want to spend a few minutes thinking out of the box
Step1: Go here... http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...85#post5105285. Folks just like to ask questions rather that using the paperclick feature to pull up all attachments on the thread!
Step2: Download and open the zip file. I put all the posts made just by Graeme in the zip file to help new readers.
Step3: Open the html in IE browser by doubleclicking on the html file
Step4: Do...
Many thanks to both Scalpz and Vee,
With forex one would never fail to find the answer from great effort putting up by those kind heart individuals. Such as you both, Graeme and many others on FF Forums, thank to FF as well which provides such great service.
BTW which time frame did you find, would give you least fault trade on IB and Long pin bar with consideration of PA?

futurespec,
As a reader of the Jacquemate thread where you have been nice enough to post an EA and take subsequent abuse, I guess you are looking for that Flying Buddha method and Volatility breakouts
See attached. The pdf has the relevant link at the start...
Good luck,'

Hello all,
At the risk of being shot down in flames....
Apologies if the question has been asked/answered previously.
Is Graeme still around at all?
I have only just started reading this thread (< p20)and it will obviously be a mammoth task :-(
Love the concept as I am sure you all do.
One thing that I have not yet managed to understand is the diversification..
Assuming we take 1 lot/trade and we build up say a total 10 short positions and are in a downtrend in whatever pair.
We now get a retrace .. and start to add lots long ... are...

Paradox and futurespec,
Great insight below, and a confirmation of what I have been doing successfully as a newbie with more than a dozen trades in the last few weeks (except the sell AUDUSD one that doesn't seem helpful still.)
The whole idea of setting losing trades to BE (i.e., TP= BE) seemed counter intuitive to me first, but works well in practice.
Also the fact that hedging trades is not merely canceling them out, or just capping your losses. In a similar vein, with markets retracing all the time, you can statistically come out a winner on both sides. Too bad US accounts were not allowed to hedge, but recently some US brokers have exploited regulatory loopholes to allow hedging by taking the opposite side themselves ("locally" as opposed to going into the market.)
A paradox- theory v. practice So I must have missed Greame's wisdom a lot too.

Graeme is not around. Perhaps you could say the thread is controversial and strange of late so you could try reading backwards a few pages.
diversification has nothing to do with opening opposite positions or with what the word normally means in the rest of the trading world.
If you understand that you never in the short term close a position you just set it to BE and forget about it. You then move on to more trading completely un influenced by your current position.
So now all these open positions mean you are a long term position trader....

pure price action interpretation with no fancy indicators. She took a couple of probes out at BE before I could get this leg to survive for the next 200 pips. Down at 70 pips at the moment after taking out 3 legs @ BE on Friday 
Quoting Graeme.... FB are the "Apex of change" as clearly evident on the weekly chart... much higher success rates when price levels are at extremes, S/R or 00 lines.
EDIT: I forgot to mention the reason which prompted me to respond to your post. In 'my' experience with FBs, one has to WATCH price action in real time while FB is being formed and the candle after FB to make an informed judgement whether it is going to be a false positive. Indicators like these in my opinion will just cause a lot of frustration as noobs will simply follow the mechanical 'rules' outlined in the pdf and cause drawdowns. Trading FBs "in the moment" can be very powerful and that happens only by watching the charts in real time (similar to watching volatile breakouts atleast 50-100 times to get better at gauging the strength of each breakout). Just reiterating what Graeme has mentioned a dozen times in this thread :-

VEEFX,
Thanks for your EDIT note.
So shouldn't we then change the FB entry rules to include the next candle formation,
e.g., bias short entry on whether the next candle is down when FB is sitting above
5ma and 5 ma is over 10ma ?
Greame actually only mentioned the BUY in passing... so does BUY entry stem from FB
hanging below a 5ma, with 10 ma over 5ma? Never got that clarified.
Greame I remember mentions in the pdf in passing toward the end ("forgot an important point")
that for FB to sit atop 5ma, we also require the 5ma to be atop 10ma.
Spyderman in his FB thread says that one good test (for BUY or SELL?) is if the 5ma crosses
over 10ma after a FB is observed sitting atop the 5ma. But then if the 5ma is already on top
of the 10ma, all it can do is cross down the 10ma next...
IMHO, the FB Guide needs updating, whether or not you want FB price action in real time !

Athar.
