Trend trading with the help of trend lines, support, resistance, and fibs. THAT'S ALL. No need for indicators. You can have 1 or 2 indicators just as filters if you want.

Ok. Here's the way I trade.

I trade off the daily chart. When you see a pair that is in a down trend then you should only wait to short and vise versa. Wait for a retracement to go down to the trendline, s/r line, and or fib level. Once the price goes to the trendline and either s/r line or fib level, wait for a candle formation for the entry. Candle formations are morning stars, evening stars, double top/bottom, bull/bear candle, etc. There's a few other things I look at as well as candle formations.

As you can see in the chart that I posted. This pair is in an uptrend. So I wait for it to bounce off the trendline and either support or fib level. As you can see it bounce off the trendline and also the fib level. I enter the next candle right after the bull candle.

I am actually still in this trade. I usually ride the trade all the way till a resistance level or some form of signal that its reversing. I ride my winners and cut my losers.

These were the positions I took this week. I post my trades on my blog. So you can follow along if you like.

CLOSED ALL POSITIONS.

GBP/USD at 1.5000 -----profit about 270 pips
USD/CAD at 1.2030 -----profit about 290 pips
NZD/USD at .5790 ------profit about 50 pips (should have been alot more but it retraced.)

I did jump on the EUR/JPY trade but it retrace back. So I lost about 160 pips on this trade. Oh wells. I'm still looking at EUR/JPY. This time I'll wait for a candle formation. Still looks good for a long.

I see many pairs setting up for a good trade. I will be entering on a few pairs. Looking to make 500-1000 pips by the end of the week. Should be a good week.
