EN 55% sure.
There might be one more candle left. But I should have gone in yesterday.
Thank you.

Hi everyone I am seriously thinking of starting a new thread using this system or similar (people can chose) on the 240 minute (4 hr) chart Maybe I'm wrong but I think the BB's are using the 4 hr charts for setting targets and quite frankly ( IMHO) the 4 hr chart is much easier to trade then the daily chart, if one is wanting to trade higher time frames
I think this would be a good idea, However I think you need to highlight TP Areas. I understand everyone different but to have a discussion on when to get out is as much important as when to get in.

Good luck

XBTUSD also sent a nice long setup signal however I trade it exclusively on H1 for obvious reasons. I just translated the 5-day SMA and the 20-day SMA from the B.B. into the hourly panorama.

hi,

nice, interessesting and simple system here :-)

Yesterday I dropped the first trades.

What I'm not quite clear yet, is the TP.

When do you finish the trade? At the end of the day? Before news?
with TP? if so where do you set this?

BIG thx

Hi alexf82,
Welcome iin the thread.
Here are the recommendations Bk8 left in post nr.1:


Take Profit/Exit

 

  1. Take 2 positions of same setup, and close the first setup after taking profit on same day and leave the another setup to run forever
  2. Keep moving SL for second setup as per S&R
  3. You may exit when candle touches/cross BB top/bottom line.
  4. You may exit from second position if you have minimum 3 candles profit as part of 1:3 strategy.
  5. Must Exit on breakeven if setup goes in opposite direction.


Personally I open 1 position and keep it until either I get an inverse signal or until S/L is hit.
I use S/L only from breakeven when my position is at least 40 pips in profit and trail it as mentionned above.
But never when I enter in position, what I do is to place a hedging inverse stop order in place (like on my USDCAD chart in post nr.9486). Of course doing so my initial position will still be running and I assume the risk on the distance between the 2 entry points, just like you would do anyway with a regular stop-loss.
The difference here is that there is no loss just a stop quite often. Let me explain: when I put an inverse hedging stop order, I will usuall apply a 40 pips trailing stop-loss from entry on it and in case the S/L is triggered (due to retracement in my initial direction) I will link it with a another order to take a second position in the same direction of my initial trade. The reason to do so is to profit from S/L or liquidity hunting you name it. How many traders observed it day after day, S/L get hit and right affter comes the big move in the right direction...

I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure...

... just last night it happened to me agai. AGAIN! :-(

Hi there,
I found this thread yesterday and am curious if the system could work for me. At least the time frame would be perfect.
Now I have a question. Do you guys still apply the initial rules? There is one thing, when I look at the very first screen shots > it is written that SMA has to point up when candle crosses SMA clearly (for buy entry) but in the screen shots it rarely does? Do I have to wait until SMA would point up?
Also, Filipo1, in your post nr.9486 the buy-line is (for my understanding) 2 candles after the actual "rule entry", is that right? Why did you wait?

By the way, I would be very interested to learn more about that hedging concept that you mentioned before.

A good day to all of you.

hi again.
I still haven't any trade on with the system, but I have picked a random period of the EURUSD chart and marked my potential entries (green), TP's (pink) and losses (black) as well as some questions that occurred during that check.
Maybe you could make some comments, please?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Et2017, welcome in the thread.
Many questions, ok here we go:
1) yes the rules described in post nr. 1 are still valid.
2) yes you have to wait until you have cross + direction of SMA matching.
3) with USDCAD we had a cross upside but sma downside, then a doji with sma flat means 2 good reasons not to enter, and only then did we have the perfect match when I entered.
4) I feel I might have said already too much about how I trade and I want to keep some secrets. It's always a good thing to keep some mystery around your receipes
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure...

...another one.
take profit rule: •. Must Exit on breakeven if setup goes in opposite direction. > after how many pips do you set BE? I mean, it is not always just a move in one direction? as for my example above, it would probably have saved the 2nd trade, but would possibly have cut me short on a few others?
any suggestions?
thanks.

At first glance your chart does not cope with the rules of this thread's strategy. Remember it is Simple Moving Average on 5 periods (days here) on close prices, without any shift.
Here is my chart for the same period:

Bk8 changed it for SMA5,0 after a few months, and consequently updated his post nr.1 accordingly.
