{quote} 'Morning. Care to elaborate on why you stopped using SSBO? Assuming it was still giving you entries, would that not be a way to incorporate Millipede MM into that (that is don't close off the trades when the indi tells you to but keep them running - as you will know, these breaks would often go on for 100's of pips after the indi had closed for +20 or whatever). Sorry, just curious. I did try the Millipede approach in days gone by but I lost so many brain cells to excruciating boredom that I let it go. In reality, however, if I am running...
With my spare time, I can now write a book if I want to(no I dont). While the SSBO gave me lots of signals, i was running it purely automatic base on the tuned indicator on UC and GJ. There was great risk to loss. I was doing first brake plus one revenge brake with 2.0 martingale. I could lost 7,5% in two bad trades and as many before me pointed out the setting was based on past. I was aggressive with trades.
Then my weak moment came and I tough I will finish with the whole trading. But I gave a chance to millipedes again after year and its working really well to my surprise as I posted in the PipEasy thread, today I reach 5000 pips in 15 days. With this approach I only need check my trades from time to time to set SL to BE+1 on positive trades.

Yes, I have read your posts. Very sweet results.

I think the full Thunder & Lightning method lends itself very well to this kind of approach.

Here's to your next 5,000!

Thanks. I honestly didn't expect much of anything to come out of that second session, almost getting into it out of boredom.

Sometimes it just all falls right.

Using the HA candles + Kijun-sen forms the backbone of my day now.

I am also looking to use the full Thunder & Lightning method on the H4 and up time frames, as it is absolutely rock solid.

For your long-term trades.... Or also for bias with scalping?

Thunder & Lightning does not use the Tenkan, Kijun or Chikou elements and using the two clouds gives a very strong bias and almost an ability to gauge strength as well.

Be cautious about using HA to base entry decisions on by themselves. Use to give bias but find the entry on standard candles (or even line). HA however, can be used very effectively for exits, stacking, hedging etc.
