Steviet's Live Trades!

Hi Steviet,

I stumbled on this thread and i am happy we have you here. You are simply great.

Question for you: If you are going long and discovers that the current market entry is lower than the previous day low, where do you place your stop? Conversely, if you are going short and the current market entry is higher than the previous day candle high, where do you place your stop?

Typically, i will illustrate with a graph: You are in the circle as in the attached word document. The situation arose in NZD/USD about 9 days ago. See attached.

Trust 2007 shall be our year of unprecedented pips.

Hi George ,

The broker I use doesn't charge or pay interest when holding positions overnight. I would imagine over the long term it would even itself out as there is no bias to this in my method.

If anyone thinks any different I would welcome your comments.

Kind Regards
Steve
Unless your trading quite a few lots maybe like a few 100 I don't think the swaps are really going to make that much of a diff.

current swap prices can be found on the link below

I'm very new to this thread, and VERY curious!!!

I understand the stop move to lock in profit.

(I am reasonably new to FX - doing ok so far, not a millionare yet...notice...yet...)

I saw earlier a question about resources for candle formations and didn't pick up an answer...I'm looking for as much studying as I can on the entry methods used here, I've seen the systems that use a pass of previous days support/resistence for entry....Am I on the right train here???

In a tighter nutshell - is there a set of particular reversal formations used for this, I've looked back a few months and noticed some consistent things, but, my lack of knowledge in formations right now is keeping me from movin' ahead...

Thanks all!!

GREAT THREAD!!!
Eeek

OK, yes, I currently use a broker called Marketiva, primarily because they allow you to trade for as little as 0.01 cent per pip which was perfect for my intitial miniscule capital lol.

I don't think it would be an issue concerning interest as stated by turbo because you would gain on some trades & lose on others which should even itself out over time.

Unless your trading with some of these cut throat retail brokers who might charge you the spread everyday for holding over night if that's the case run....

Hi Dollar-man,

This hasn't yet come about when I have entered a new trade but I guess I would have to place a stop loss at just 10 pips from my entry price. It would seem an unlikely scenario and such a tight initial stop loss for my method.

Unfortunately, I was unable to read your attachment on my ancient pc but I think I understood what you were getting at.

I like the green numbers

so, since you got stopped out on UCHF, do you see any reversal candle on the daily chart?
Trade what you see, not what you think.

I'll let you know in a few hours

It's bounced right up from low of 1.2417 so may well be looking to re-enter long later. Too early to say though yet.

I really want to thank you so much for sharing us your system. And I began to understand some of it. But I have a question which may be a stupid one:
you make profits by putting your s/l 10 pips high or low, and you keep on adding those 10 pips the day after, so how is your trade stopped out making profits? And please I want you to answer the question, and it will be so kind of you to do so as I want to understand it clearly

OK, lets give you an example......

Day 1. Enter long GU at 1.9300 - previous day low was 1.9210 so we set initial stop loss at 1.9200. At this point we risk 100 pips loss.

Day 2. The price has gone up and day 1 low was 1.9290 so we move our stop loss to 1.9280. Now we risk 20 pips loss.

Day 3. Again the price has risen - looks like we are in a bull trend. Day 2 low was at 1.9380 so we move our stop loss to 1.9370. Now we are guaranteed at least 70 pips.

This would continue until our stop loss is hit - in reality it could get hit on the first day at a loss or 10 days later with a huge gain.

Hope this helps

Kind Regards

Thanks Northpro - it's been an enjoyable journey so far - 6000 still the target by the end of October so the ship is firmly on course at the mo. I'm sure there will be some stormy seas ahead
