'Trade what you see, trade your charts, and never be swayed by other people's opinions' is a trading principle I employ.

I look at price action, H1/H4 levels, overall trend, and trying to incorporate some news events; also reading/learning more about patterns and tech analysis.

No one seems to understand whats the point of "in 1 sentence"

if you can not explain how you trade in 1 line.. its too complicated or you dont have it clear enough =)

I trade in the direction of breakout after a period of successive low range price action. 2X ATR SL initially, then trailing SL. Adding positions in strong moves. 0.5% to 3% (cumulative) risked per trade. 1H Time frame predominantly.

Your contribution is appreciated but in future let's stick to the 'one-sentence' rule.

In one sentence, how do you trade? KP {quote}
I thought I had a decent strategy with entries on smaller TFs based on trend on higher TF but it didn't perform very well on forward testing so I am looking for ways and possibly help from more experienced traders to fine tune my strategy, hence the question.

How do you trade? in one sentence...
I get busy when I spot a strong daily candle at turning points with no cap.


Thank you, KP.

How do you trade?

I trade how I've learnt to do it, by watching how the markets move from hours of screen time, probably hundreds, without any indicators, just a few moving averages and candlesticks.

Where most people would look to go long, I'd be looking at a short, vice versa.

How do I trade?

I trade WITH THE ALGO on a BREAKOUT towards its TARGETS then I trade WITH THE ALGO at its TARGETS.

""""" Where most people would look to go long, I'd be looking at a short, vice versa. """""

Obviously that isn't everything as there are other variables involved like certain patterns that form on GBP pairs (I only trade GBP pairs, DAX and DOW), but basically that is it.

From what I see on here in various posts on peoples 'predictions' etc, other websites and bullshit sites/youtube etc telling you how to trade, I look now and again just to sort of have a morale boost in the fact that I know what I do, works and what they tell you to do, is pure horse shit.
