kharvell's Trades

[quote=kharvell;1466030]I'm afraid you may have misinterpreted how I am currently trading:

I use the 30-min, 15-min, and 5-min charts. If all the trends are up or down, I look at the 5-min chart to enter.

I use the exact same Cornflower entries that I was using earlier on the 1 hour for the 5-min.

Once the trade is placed, I look at my 15-min chart to determine when to exit(if it's flat or opposite my direction).

Good luck

Kharvell:
So if I understand you correctly, you are not concerned with the daily and 3 hour trends with your modified approach and look only at 30-min, 15-min and 5-min? So if the daily and 3 hour trends are opposite of the shorter term trend you will still trade in the direction of the short term trends based on Cornflower pullbacks?
Hey guys and gals,

You must excuse my absence lately as I've been slightly busy enjoying my summer and trying to think about my trading objectively.

The truth is I had a lousy last week. I lost about 8.7%. While I had won 15% the week before last, I know that I can do better than that.

With this being said, I thought it best to examine what I was missing. I excluded the long-term trend from the equation too soon. Right now, I plan on using the 3-hour, 1-hour, 30-min, and 15-min charts to show confirmation of a trend and hop in at either the 5-min using cornflower or the 15-min.

I will also now use the 30-min charts to determine when I exit(when it is flat or opposite my position). This longer timeframe would have eliminated several of my losses last week and turned them into big gains.

One last thing. I will keep my trades open over the weekend since the 30-min time frame is a bit longer.

Here are my current trades; best of luck

Kevin,

Kudos as always for an honest self-appraisal.

Your candor and openness to change will no doubt lead you to much success. OMG, I sound like a fortune cookie.

At any rate, best wishes, my friend.

Curious as to how your trading is going since the "rethink" ?? Hope you're enjoying the summer though and look forward to an update when you can.

I've read Jacko's thread since you mentioned it here and I really must say that his style fits well with the Cornflower method...do you agree??

Best wishes on your trading!

Don't let the drawdowns get to you......just consider it a part of the cost of doing business...........your money management prevented your losses from digging deeply into your profits

Hey guys,

I appreciate all the concern and what not, but I was only on vacation in Long Island, NY enjoying beautiful East Hampton for my 4th of July

With this being said, I'm taking a break from this journal to take some time out to really focus on my trading rather than responding to the onslaught of newbie questions I seem to inevitably get (No offense newbies ).

I feel I've reached a point in my trading where I have learned hundreds of bells and whistles to enhance my trading, and this time will be excellent for me to mix and match to create something that is perfect in my mind.

Just some soul searching....

See ya when I'm done,

Kevin

But basically we need about 100 or so candles on our chart, and we will use multiple timeframes to see what's happening.

So, here's what my thought process was:

I look on the daily chart, and look where the price is on the left of my chart. If it is lower than where the price is now, then my analysis is DONE! It's an uptrend. It's as easy as that. Thanks Jacko. I drew a purple line showing where I look for those that still don't get it. If you follow the purple line from left to right, and the price has gone up, you have an uptrend.
Hi Kevin,

I would like to know... how did you arrive at the "100 or so candles on the chart"? Jacko recommends 300 candles on a chart when determining a trend. Isn't your 100 candles on a chart a big difference from Jacko's 300 candles?? Could that be a possible reason for the recent negative trades you've had?

I know you said you are taking a break from your thread, but if you can't post here, then can you PM me your response? I'm really interested about this because the number of candles on the chart obviously plays a big part of deciding about the trend.

I would think that on a higher timeframe such as H4 or D1 that 100 candles should be sufficient to determine the sustained trend in place. To be honest, to me, 100 candles would be overkill on a weekly chart for instance, let alone a monthly! That being said, I must admit that I do not know the ins and outs of Jacko's system that he prescribes, but from mine own two eyes, 100 bars on a longer time frame seems like plenty. Your mileage may vary of course, just wanting to throw my coins into the coinstar here.

I saw a good opportunity to go long EUR/CHF again.

Long EUR/CHF @ 1.6661
S/L = 1.6608

Long GBP/CHF @ 2.4643
S/L = 2.4587

I use Oanda also, is there a way to get the trade activity in a .csv format so I can import it into an Excell document to track the performance of my trading activity. I appreciate any help.
