Hmm havent been able to pull the trigger on any trades in the last 24 hours. But thats not a bad thing, someone on this thread mentioned patience and to not force any trades. Also that the trade set up should be obvious as soon as you see the chart and if its not move on to the next pair or time frame.

With that being said, as I wait patiently for the daily set ups to come around heres a M15 trade I just entered.

can anyone honestly say they are making a positive equity curve with this method. I have tested it with rules and find it unprofitable for me. Im grateful that it was posted because it is a trading idea thats outside the box.

Thank you for this trading method, I believe that long term trading is the best for new traders. It gives them a long time to think about what trades they want and allows them to adjust them as well. Knee jerk reactions when trading is never a good thing.

Thanks Ralffe for expanding my knowledge and helping me get profitable.

Good question. Also if you post some charts of your losing trades, maybe the other people can come with surgestions of adjustments so they would not have been losing trades. And we all can learn from it please.

Thank You.

You may want to re-read and practice some more. Although I have been trading a similar style, almost the same actually except I did not move the TRs at all, and I must say going back it would have saved me from some bad trades. Indicators are all pretty much useless because they are lagging. I was taught to trade what I see from the beginning and a majority of people I know that trade FX with any kind of long term success trade in a similar fashion. Trends and support and resistance with a mind on fundamentals, i.e News, was, is and will always be the way to go.

Just my 2cents

Hi All,

I like KISS system and this one is so interesting. I know drawing a trend line is very subjective and i've watch the video about how to draw the trend line and move it time to time each time a new LH or HL is formed. I also understand that the trend line must not too steep, but i'm not understand what is the criteria of "steep" angle. I mean which angle of trend line is allow or not allow.

From my attached image, can someone help to check is it a correct trend line?

Thank you

The problem I see on this site, as well as many others, is people believe they can find a way to filter out loses. Simply put, you cant. You can not avoid loses. Period. If nobody lost, nobody would win. Forex is a zero sum game. You have to lose for me to win. Spending to much time trying to prefect your system by adding this or that ends up changing the method and not always for the better.

This site is filled with methods that fell to the wayside because of so many people adding or changing things in the hope to prefect an already good method.
Try trading the way the OP says, if it does not work for you, there are plenty of other ways to trade.

I have went in and marked up an image on my charts to show how I WOULD have done it. Note I currently have no live trades with this particular style, however because I trade a similar way, it was easy for me to understand. If you have patience and let the market dictate, don't force it, where you place the TR & follow large to medium swing highs and lows, you will see that it works well.

The OP suggests that your initial trend line not be to steep. "Steep" is subjective but you look at like a hill. You want to start of on a slow roll and then build up momentum as you go along. It will take some practice but I'm sure you will get the hang of it.

As for your lines on the above chart? They look OK, but I do not know how you started and progressed, but just remember to wait until you have a completed wave before moving your TR.

As for you add ins, that is a money management decision that you must work out on your own.

Hi, How did you test it? Did you test it on daily charts? if not daily, did you try 4H charts? Did you use a pair that moves not in tight ranges? Did you test for more than a Few Weeks? Did you post an equity curve/ a markup of a chart that shows that it is unprofitable? There is so many factors in testing something, just don't make the final judgement after trying the first attempt.

inoycavalera, your markup looks good to me, if anyone else can be so kind to confirm. Recent market chop on my favourite instruments makes the line drawing somewhat annoying and I ended up adapting to shorter time frame trading with this system by adding a few indi.... That seem to also make the line drawing non subjective, but might have to talk to Ralffe regarding what he thinks after his holiday

Kind Regards,
Tzamo

Well Ralffe have say many times that he get a win ratio of 90 percent or even better. If you still cant make it profitable i think maybe there is something whrong in his trading. So to help him fnd this flaws i advice to post charts. Or maybe it is in in his money management, that could also be investigated if we cant fins anything whrong with the trades he posts.
