Hello gang, I'm back!!!! I hope all of you are still learning and have made loads of money in my absence. I have been out of the loop for the past few years because of some family issues, health issues that needed to be addressed, and yes, I've been testing a new system for you to use.
With all the issues and changes in my life, I seriously thought about just retiring and sitting on a beach somewhere with an umbrella drink in my hand and sand in my feet. But alas, my retirement funds are not quite there yet for me to retire as comfortable as I would like. Forex trading has really helped increase that, but since I’ve decided to keep trading, how do I make it easier to manage to trade and get more time for myself and my family? The answer:
Quantum 00 Level Daily Trading
As we all know, some traders are successful with short-term trading, but most of the truly successful traders, whether it be Forex, Stocks, Options, or whatever instrument they choose, will trade long term. Why? In a nutshell, market noise. Market noise on lower timeframes is what makes trading Forex difficult. Large swings, volatility, daily news, national events, all of which can change the market very quickly, wiping out accounts and disrupting the space-time continuum (sorry, that’s the nerd in me). Trading consistency is proven to be easily controlled over the long term and my system is based on that principle. Market swings, corrections, retracements, and trading psychology all play a factor and I’m hoping this new system will help those who are struggling with short-term trading and convert you into long-term traders.
This system is a Daily system and can also be used as a Weekly or Monthly system as well. So, if you do not like to trade timeframes longer than a Daily system, this is not for you. If you’re looking to try and double your account in a short period of time, this is not for you. I know a lot of you want to get rich quick fast, but the reality is this, it doesn’t happen. No matter what fancy-schmancy system you try, no matter what up and coming EA’s you buy, 90% of it is not going to work. You need to let the market give you what you need to be successful.
A little bit about the basics.
Indicators
For those who have followed my Quantum thread know about the Quantum indicator and have taken the indicator to different levels (Mastermind) to suit his or her trading style. In this system, the Quantum indicator is only for showing us trading entries, and that’s it. Targets and stop levels are a little later. For those who don’t know what the Quantum indicator is, I’ll tell you. The Quantum indicator is basically a modified Wave indicator in which the boxes left on the chart represent the top or bottom of a wave. What is different about this indicator is that when a new high or low is made the previous box stays on the chart and a new box is drawn. In a standard Wave indicator, the line would just be re-drawn, so you would never know it’s past history by looking at it in current time. We will be looking at these boxes as our trade entries at the close of the Daily candle.
The next indicator we are using in the Round Number indicator. We are going to use this to mark our “00” levels and form a type of "grid" in which we will use for targeting and trailing stops. The “00” levels are strong areas on a psychological level and we will show you how to utilize this.
The third indicator we will use is the Spread/Swap indicator. This basically tells us the current spread and whether the swap rate is positive or negative. With this system, we are only looking to place trades on pairs with positive swap only! The reason is that we may have to hold open positions for extended periods of time until a retracement or market correction will occur. This way you can accumulate swap while holding onto the trades until they close and become profitable. Don’t worry, we will be watching 14 pairs on this platform (Trader's Way), so there will be plenty of trades to look at. My live trades are on a different broker but the concept is going to be the same. Now, these are going to be the perfect setup to explain the strategy and not taking into account the actual time of entry, broker pricing, and swap rates, etc...
All 3 indicators are posted below along with a zip file with templates for all 14 pairs we will be using for demonstration purposes.
Over the next several days will post pics of how the trades are placed and closed, along with examples of current and past trades that are still open and earning swap.
As usual, please refrain for adding indicators or making suggestions to the strategy. If you feel you want to expand or use any part of this strategy to help in your particular way of trading, feel free to do so, but please open a new thread and post about it there, thank you.
