Here's my 1st trade of my complementary system of trading that I've @almost@ nailed down. I'll always seek to improve it but the core is all there now. I've always sought to have balance in most aspects of life and I feel my style of trading should be no different. Thanks to G. and Z. for their massive guidance in how I've developed my way of trading from the extremes. Now I can add Lem. to the that list in how to trade with the flow that takes us to the extremes. {image} 1st trade should always be a loser as it proves to me how I can close off...

hey Anthony,

just a small thought, after reading your post:
"Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away"

sometimes the less is more.
thread carefully adding too many things to your charts; such after event thoughts are not better than a curve fitting of a backtest.
in one short post i read of ADR, kumo, 20EMA, thunder cloud, fib, macd, 1 min candle rejection.

if it works for you, by all mean keep it up,
but i have to admit that just reading all this list makes my head spin

cheers
Zoltan
there is always, always another trade!!

Hi Zoltan.

Thanks always for the sagely advice.

We will see how it goes. Honestly only time will tell after a few 100 trades. I don't feel very overwhelmed and I think that shows our difference. I can only look at 1 or 2 pairs while you seem to be able to profitably cope with more than just a few. That makes my headspin like nothing else.

My bread and butter is the extreme trades.

Cheers
Anthony

Yes Diego.
That is just the Ichimoku indicator that comes with the MT4 platform. I got all the settings from Lem's thread which I highly recommend. I've read through it twice now and still a few more times to go.

I also highly recommend Zoltan's thread if you are super serious about this zoo.

Thanks for the lead. I will have a read.

I learned a considerable amount about the cloud from a Japanese trader on my recent visit to Japan.
I think I will have my "training wheels" on for some time to come.

It is amazing to see how much info is already out there in "The West" about Ichimoku already.

Hi Ayoayo.

Thank you for stopping by. Please don't think for a second that you are able to offend me with any words here.

We all can gain a huge amount of personal freedom once we stop taking anything that anybody ever says or writes about us personally.

Just a quick journal update over the weekend.

SO after FTMO I've moved on to PSY thanks to advice and guidance from PF.

This is definitely a long run play and should take at least 9 months to build a strong track record.

I need to increase my Skill and Behaviour scores and will aim to do this slowly and steadily.

Annualised return is tracking around 24% which won't impress anyone but perhaps if I can consistently do that for a year or 2 a small private fund may want to risk a few dollars with me.

Here's my ADR Dashboard for the week starting Monday, July 28th.

I'm opening up slowly to look at a few other pairs whose ADR are at least 60.

I'll need to spend more time looking at them and how they move on the 1 min chart.

EUR AUD has been quite kind to me over the past week.

hey Anthony,

at this very early stage you are at, all the focus should go toward to keep executing trades, generally.
way to early to think of the annualized return.
but if you really want to, then there is 2 things to keep in mind:
1. cos the score system, if pass, there is an up to 350k guaranteed fund from the broker itself, and that at 2% a month return is able to produce you up to 1.4k a month, or up 16.8k a year.
2. ROI only gets a real meaning if measured against a max DD. if you make 24% a year, with say 8% max DD, it isnt different from 100% a year to 33% DD, really.
in fact, it is very easy to tailor the risk to appetite later. (ie. 36% return with -12% max DD, etc.)

bonus: bet the best half of Australia including all your family and friends would be more than happy for a stable low risk, 24% a year return.
anyone with some brain would in fact.
important to get things in the right context. forget the 100$ accounts that may jump 1000% in a month or two, then disappear.
some is lucky, and win a million with a 2$ lottery ticket, but not many looking to invest their savings in lottery picking. and for a good reason.

bonus2: one prop deal doesnt close the door to others. it is rarely exclusive.

happy weekend!
there is always, always another trade!!

Hi Z.

Always the voice of wisdom and reason.

Much appreciated of course.

Will do!! I'll keep following my horizontal lines and keep the risk managed.

Yes.

I draw up my charts when I get home from work.
It is easy for me to move around my Asian session lines and remove any lines that have been taken out.
