Here is a trading system I have been using for the last 6 month with great results. The idea is "cut your losses short and let the winner run" I am trading only the Daily Charts on dailyfx. It is a web based chart which allows mobility. I am only trading daily's but feel free to test it on different timeframes.

Here are the rules: Do not trade only 1 pair. Use your money management and positions wisely and allow room for as many pairs as possible. The point here is that we want the winners to outrun the losers..

Place a 5 EMA High and 5 EMA Low on the chart. Short when red candle closes inside the channel, long when blue candle closes inside the channel. Closing candle has to open outside the channel to become a valid signal. Let it run until you see opposite signal. Stop Loss is high/low from last candle.

Lets start rolling...

No hard rules...Nothing is written in stone. Dont chase perfection in patterns. Demo it for a while and you will get the feel soon..

The area between the 2 Ema's is the inside of the channel. If the candle closes in between we have a signal. Depending on the margin you have I usually have 4-5 positions open a day. The channel will avoid most ranging markets...

Eur/Gbp has formed a nice pinbar yesterday. Even it didnt close inside my channel I see a good opportunity for long. Posting charts with Mt4 is easier but not so much with dailyfx. So forgive me for my laziness but feel free to post your charts..

hi the7

a simple trading method, good.

to ensure i got your meaning correct, would one take these trades short (green arrows) and long (orange arrow)?

Yeap, you got it right Pama. Keep in my mind that this current chart is one of the worst samples for this system..There are so many other good ones. Just do a visual backtest...You will be surprised with what you see...

7 thanks for avery interesting system. Have you tried it with Heiken Ashi candles instead? HA candles will probably give more consistent signals.

You really need to make your rules clearer; because they're unclear you're getting so many questions.

Just to say "go long when it's inside and short when it's inside" leaves too many questions.

Can you try again?

Really? It seems fairly simple to me - if you have a candle that opened above/below the "channel" and closed inside, then you have a sell/buy signal, respectively. There are more signals not marked on the first chart, but the idea is clear.

Sincerely,
Barbossa
