Highest Open / Lowest Open Trade

Who is taking the 10 trade challenge the week of DECEMBER 22, 2019?

During the challenge, you are only to trade the same pair.

Beginners do not get to trade multiple pairs until they have mastered trading one single pair.

GREEN PIPS TO ALL.
Cheers!

Trade #3 (didn't even want to show this one)

 

  1. XAUUSD
  2. Crosshair marks highest open: 08:00 broker time.
  3. Sell limit entry
  4. Way too late, and just before LO. Lesson definitely learnt.
  5. SL hit
  6. -11p
  7. Could have been a BE trade if entered on time and managed well. Even small profit.

While I appreciate the dedication shown, you must know that you are probably the only person in the world still trading, lol.

Trade #5 (yes I know it's crazy)

 

  1. XAUUSD
  2. Crosshair marks highest open: 10:00 broker time.
  3. Entry on 5m, a little early, next 1h candle opened higher
  4. SL set to 20p (few pips above daily high)
  5. Closed 1/2 position at 5p
  6. BE on remainder, yet trade was good for 20p. (exactly to the .38 fib retracement of latest bull leg)

Loving the strategy but struggling to capture more profits. It's me, I know, I'll keep trying.

No comment from me about trading just now, lol.

Anyway, one thing to remember is that there is nothing wrong with using your trading knowledge to add to any particular method.

Now I know for the purposes of this thread and for all those learning the process, this is NOT something to do - learn the method as it stands first. HOLO will stand you in good stead no matter what.

However just for education's sake, take a look at your trade.

You had your entry and all good there, however because of the pull back you were taken out. Fair enough that's all according to the rules.

Now, look at the price action at the turning point and what do you see? Pretty clear indications that price was going to turn again and continue down.

So of course, that's nothing to do with the rules but as you gain experience and master the main method, why would you not maximise your return by layering other techniques on top while running your trade management?

This is also where many new traders fall down, they get stuck in "the method", ignoring clear opportunities that don't fit. Whereas in reality, experienced traders will layer methods on top of one another to make the most of every move.

Keep it up though. Once the actual trading season starts again, hopefully you'll find things working a bit more as they would normally.

I value the input Lemercenaire.

Trade #7 (trade #6 is really just too painful to display)

Clearly, I've picked the wrong instrument at the wrong time for my 10 trade challenge but now i have a very solid understanding of freight trains.

Everyone, at least I, wants to see #6.

Thank you for sharing your method. As of Monday, I'll post my trades on USD/JPY, during the Asian session according to your challenge.
He bought? Dump it!

Your insistence makes it more painful but I recognise the benefit. It was a reckless entry after breakout of previous day high. Added to the short on next higher open, moved SL so far away it would never get hit. But of course, it did. Not an example of a flawed method but rather a flawed trader.

Hi LeMercenarie, i like to ask you what is the strategy or strategies, that you use more often, i find that after trying HOLO or Wick Zones strategies does not look good in the long term, but i am asking to see in what strategy to invest time in effort to master.
Thank you in advanced.

Hi. From my point of view, I think he uses a confluence of TooSlow's method and supply and demand zones. As soon as the prices reaches one of those zones, he waits for a trade trigger according to the rules pointed by the OP.

I don't know, just my 2 cents.

Ouch. However, as I have posted here before, it is only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
