The HL Count breakout strategy? — I was just doing a little chart time and I'm wondering if the HL Count might be a decent trigger for a breakout strategy. This is really half-baked at this point, but this is how I'm originally seeing this ...

A snapshot from my EA — This snapshot illustrates what FXEZ was talking about when he said that this method buys into strength and sells into weakness. I developed an EA roughly based on these rules and I'm running it on 5 or 6 different ...

Retracement quantified — Here's the same chart zoomed in with my counts added to each bar. Clearly, USDJPY is in a huge upswing - it doesn't take a magician to figure that out. But what about the retracement between the red lines? Will that ...

Whipsaw protection (sorta) — Another reason I like this method of trend-spotting is that it seems to be less prone to the dreaded whipsaw. Don't get me wrong, you will still find false reversals - any trend following process will - but I have ...

A broader view — So zooming out, we see how the scoring of each bar according to its low (if it closed down) or its high (if it closed up) in relation to previous lows/highs dynamically dictates the strength of the trend as it first dips ...

Quantifying reversals — If the trend is going to reverse, how/when do we quantify that event as having happened? The attached chart shows this process. In the previous post, I said that those two up bars after the deep dip did not qualify as a ...

Trading signals? — I'm not posting this trend-counting method as a trading system, but if you wanted to trade off these trends, what kind of signals might there be? This chart is the same as the last, except that there are two down arrows ...

Trend - quantified — Here is the same chart with some handy-dandy numbers written on it. The numbering system is extremely simple. After the completion of each bar, you assign it a number. The number is counted like this: If the bar closed UP, ...

What is the trend on this chart?? — So let's start with an illustration. I'm attaching a basic bar chart for EURUSD. I like to ensure that the up bars are green and the down bars are red so it makes it very easy to sort them out when I'm ...

Today's NZD crosses? — I'm just curious what everyone decided to do with today's crosses on NZD. I have fozzy signals on AUDNZD and NZDUSD. I don't normally ask for public confirmation on crosses that I can see clearly in front of me, but I'm ...

OK, I've loaded it up and I think that my Bollinger Band observation was a red herring. Yes, you can put the BBs on the screen, but it doesn't appear to be giving its signals based on that. However, I took a close look at my setup vs. this indicator ...

SAR filtering out Fozzy whipsaws — I wanted to post the chart that I used today to make my EURJPY trade. (It is almost identical to the chart that I used to make my GBPJPY trade.) This chart illustrates, for better or for worse, one side ...
