SAFE - KISS. (Trade safely & "keep it simple stoopid".)

Videos are located at Posts 15, 470 and 471

Check posts 717 & onward for reference to funding traders

Thought it was time to show my trend trading system. You will either love it or hate it. Makes no matter to me. If you don’t like it, just move on. If you like it & want to know more, stick around.

Trend & major pull-back trading.

Quite timely as trend changes or major pull-backs appear likely over the next few days.

SL is placed 20 pips above / below last major high / low.
SL then becomes safety TP should price move against you whilst you sleep. SL is moved every time a new lower high is made when trend is down. Or higher low when trend is up.
Entry / exit is made when price crosses the line with NO touch.
The line is HINGED at the left end. This end of the line never moves.

Candles… Plain bar candles.. No need for Jap candles or color change candles. And NO indicators required or necessary.


BS News, FOMC, WTF etc etc. Forget it. Let the spikes stop others out. Not you.

Pairs. Choose your pairs carefully. Not all pairs are “trend friendly”

Chart shows where entries (turquoise) were made on this pair & where the SLs (green)were placed as price moved in my favor.

Thank you, Ralffe! Subscribed and very interested in how you draw those lines and what pairs you favor and what pairs you stay away from!
Never traded the higher TF (D1 and above). I'm always drawn back to M15 and M5...

Looking forward to this!

Best regards!

Chart Time frames… DAILY. Yes you can use this system on smaller time frames, but only if you are prepared to be Johnny on the spot & don’t mind excessive screen time. Using the daily charts are best for a high win ratio. In fact the only time I have a loss is when I get bored & play around with the lower time frames.

Video coming as soon as I find the right format FF will accept.

Hi Ralffe, great video.
The move from one blue circle to another blue circle is to make sure the angle of trendline not to be to steep. I found this subjective of doing so. But I get your overall idea, might need to form more systematic way. I am type of person try to minimize subjective and try more on mechanical. thanks for sharing.

One of my favorite pair is GJ.
Would you tell me where I would have gone wrong had I traded it for the last three quarters of 2017?
How would you have done it differently?
Here I defined with colored rectangles the trade zones as I perceived them but you probably can tell that I am still unsure with regards to more exact entry points ...

Pairs. Choose your pairs carefully. Not all pairs are “trend friendly”
You can count on one hand the number of "Trend friendly" pairs. GJ is one of them albeit prone to have "sideways" trends.
