The only thread you will ever need: FX Exposed!

So, I am not sure if many will agree with me here (and I am not 100% convinced this approach is good but so far, it has proven it's worth for the past dozen weeks).

There are two camps:

Camp#1: (I belong to this camp)

1. Take profits frequently, grow balance rapidly (100-200%), take losses slowly and "trail" equity to follow the balance curve and keep it within a certain threshold. This allows using no stop loss. This allows chasing a target (Balance) this is somewhat fixed and not dependent too much on price. Do a Close all on Friday

Camp#2:

1. Take small losses frequency, less winners run, drawdown in balance curve with the hopes of letting equity curve grow. This model required stop loss of some mechanism to protect floating profits

Not sure which one is better (please dont tell me "it depends on on market conditions or trading style" - both are irrelevant)

I feel rapid growth to 200%-300% every week and then book 100%-150% in floating losses at the end of each week is a better model to avoid manipulation and more importantly. avoid "deer starring at the headlight" moments.

Thoughts?

EDIT: % is related to leverage and $amt used. Mine is based on $1000 deposits on a 400:1

"Thoughts?"

Too simplistic for my taste, dear.

Stay tuned.

FF

honest thought;

1. i did give a sh*t about political crap that happen on this thread.
2. my homework says, there interesting approach, that i learned.
3. The level(s) are pretty much predictable & calculated before it happen.
4. although, not all level are tradable. (buffer tolerance as you may called it).
5. hopefully FF wil continue, as there is some incomplete puzzle (advance stuff, as you may call it).

Who cares where this thread is?
I like his trading style as its similar to mine (possibly far better)
I wish he would drop the arrogance tho.

Strange afternoon.
Despite great USD data there was a delay before the stops below 1.1640 got eaten.
Had the data been bad it would have spiked down immediately, then up.
FF is correct regarding manipulation but we knew that anyway.
Its timing it that's the hard part.
Have a nice weekend

my stophunt homework.

I've been trading now for a good 10+ years and I see it time and time again...

This could be a great thread and could've been a greater thread IF IT WEREN'T FOR SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO CANNOT KEEP THEIR WORTHLESS EGOS ASIDE.

I don't know fractal, his trading style is similar to an ol' trader named FX-Ray....both use that look like decision points based on a combination of open interest, open position, volume, supply/demand based on past price (correct me if I'm wrong but that is my observation. They have their own indi and it is their right to keep it to themselves).

They give you ideas based on their analyses and trades, and it is up to you TO COME UP WITH YOUR OWN STYLE/TOOLS TO ACHIEVE THE SAME RESULT.

I don't need to see fractal's trade explorer since he doesn't manage my money. I do expect to learn from him another trading strategy.

Some choose to learn and keep an open mind. Many, as always, choose to criticize for whatever reason (ego, smaller penis, small brain etc.).

If you are one of those who criticize, STOP and leave the thread since you are ruining it for the ones who wish to learn how to make money. Leave your criticism aside since what only matters is if you're profitable or not.

If you would've read this thread, watched his videos and his live pictures you would understand that there's nothing more he needs to prove. It's just as FF states, pearls before swine. You guys don't realize what he's throwing at you. Whoever thinks he'll go commercial and sell his indicators must be having a few extra chromosomes or just skimmed through this thread.

Now go to page 1 and read the whole thread.

Seriously. You guys coming here just to compain need to stop.

Still waiting man. You are busting my OCD thru the roof. I am still here for specific reasons and you know it. Regarding what I posted is very much relevant to this discussion and more importantly, it is relevant to me and that is all I care about being on forums. Whatever I read, it has to be relevant to my understanding and my own personal journey (either to validate or contradict but more importantly to have an engaging discussion for the benefit of others!)

So I ask and share again.... all my entries across any pair or timeframe on any day or on any time of the day is ALWAYS on Top, Bottom or exactly in the middle if you open a M1 timeframe chart (to what I refer to as the SR Flip line. It's not a zone but precise lines within a couple of pips of accuracy.

So where am I going with this.... I do and action upon based on what my stat tell me to do. Almost 95% of tops and bottoms go into profit immediately right upon entry (within seconds to minute or 2)... I take profits asap and grow my balance. Those that don't go into profit are the DAMN Crosses that run into floating loss (mind you... crosses go into profit right away too... but those that take a precise reversal in opposite direction are the crosses!
So now I am left with trades in the middle and these non-profitable trades. Those in the middle, I just run them in idle state... waiting to take them out at breakeven + 20 times to trading costs (40 in tokyo, 50 in London, 60 in Lon+US etc...) to recover the cost of trading. That is why I can trade 1000s of trades in a week and come out profitable just with my breakeven trades.... but let's leave all that aside as it is personal to my own strategy.

I need answers on your observation with crosses... do they behave differently ?and more importantly, how "long" do they take for manipulators to trigger a movement? I know the answer based on my observations but I simply cannot validate it!

Something to think about....at least I can say I have tried .....

"If you would've read this thread, watched his videos and his live pictures you would understand that there's nothing more he needs to prove. It's just as FF states, pearls before swine. You guys don't realize what he's throwing at you. "

VEEFX,

I understand.

I know that you are waiting for that piece of the puzzle.

But whether this here continues or not remains to be decided.

Stay tuned.

FF

" I know the answer based on my observations but I simply cannot validate it!"

At the moment,

I cannot help you with that.

FF

Have a good week.

I guess that by next week you will find a final statement here.

I also guess there is a reason why DM is DM and SM is SM.

Stay safe.

FF

FF spot on with the euro again. Rock on! You do know your stuff .

Hi FF, your charts what information are there for us to know what price is going to do? (A probability %) ???
