Thanks.

Hi there Thanks for simplest system ever i seen, as i'm new to trading and willing to learn from your system so far just reading yours and all members posts from all pages and trying to mark charts for back testing and its very interesting system i must say but i'm having some issue's if you can clarify " Minotawr " i will highly appreciate it. I attached one of your chart and marked 2 candles. So the market is in uptrend in the picture so are we looking for just red candle or the colour doesn't matter? as you can see the first red candle i marked and if i move my entry to next green then next green then next green then on 4rth red candle buy stop triggered and price went to another direction and in that case stop loss got triggered. i get it not all the trades always winner but confusion is are we marking red candles only and ignoring the green one's or we will move our buy stop to the next candle wether its green or red ? or in down trend vise versa?

I will appreciate it if you can please answer i know might you answered it before but i didn't see in previous pages.
Thankyou again

First of all, thank Minotawr for sharing your trading system. It's so simple and elegant that I think everyone can make profit with it.

I tried to do 100 backtest using bar replay on Tradingview. However I just manage to do 50 trades and the results is amazing

I tested on GOLD/USD on daily chart and R:R is 2:1.

With all respect, I add ADX and DI into your system to clarify the trend and determine when to stay out of the market.
If price is closed to 100EMA or ADX line go under 20, don't trade.

It help me win 32/50 trades. 64% win rate and made 250% equity only after 50 trades.

Here is the excel file I use to do backtest and picture of several backtest on tradingview. Everyone feels free to use my file to backtesting. If you do, Im really happy if you share your work with us.

Wonder what the optimal RR would be?
One would think the RR could be much higher than 2:1 with the 'Magic' "system".


Perhaps try 4: 1 RR or higher

but now on to more important stuff

Query: What is the difference between Magic and Magick?

It's been some time since posting. I trade a different strategy. However, I still incorporate this and was thinking. Adding a 21EMA might help (thin green not thick).

See chart: in uptrend when price gets close to 21EMA you can set pending trades on the pin bars closest to the EMA in the trend direction.

I also personally use 30M for my entry. 21 EMA works best for me. I marked my entries in yellow with arrow as direction..

Thats my style though. Using the pin bars as you know there is strong resistance or support depending on trend direction.

Any questions... just ask.

Note: thick green line is 50EMA. Works well as extra support/resistance to see if trend reversal is coming. Thats for my system.

There were other pin bars to use but I just marked up mine rough so you get the idea.

Try adding 21EMA and backtest with the pin bar entries on 30M. See which is better. I've not tested the percentage but works amazingly for me.

Hello, when are the bsten entered with the adx, MaxNNQ. Magic is when good people share simple profitable strategies for free
I put ADX into the system not to find the entry point but rather to know when we should look for something else or stay out and chill.
I find it best to keep the strategy simple and pending order on every candle. However, when the market go side way this strategy will not work. Therefore, I can increase the win rate by stop trading lol.

Pin bar as a signal of reversal to enter the market is definitely help to improve the win rate.
However adding more line would create more noise, I think the key of this Magic 100 is simple. It's already tell us when and where to enter the market. I don't need to find the entry point here, I simply add ADX to give me the signal NOT TO TRADE.

Also how can you tell which is the closest candle to the 21EMA? On the history chart, it's easy to tell but as present how could you sure it is the one?

Hello, I didn't get the question here.

2:1 is just the first quick test. I'll do the 3:1 later.

And MAGIC is as Ingo 3344 said:"Magic is when good people share simple profitable strategies for free "

ok guys, one more chart for education. This is H4 chart of EUR/AUD: Since a strong down movement accured (yellow line) and price under 100EMA, i`ve started to look for retracements. --> green candle 1 was formed. I put my pending sell stop order under the candle 1, SL above candle1 --> green candle 2 was formed. My pending order from candle 1 was not activated. I cancel pending order1. Now i put my pending order under the green candle2, SL above --> green candle 3 was formed. My pending order from candle 2 was not activated. I cancel pending order2....
Great example, very simple, will look at it how effective it is.
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

If you see pin bars and it's near 21EMA and direction is up then you set pending order on the pin bar. It's not hard to see if it's close to the moving average.

Even if other candles get closer it doesn't matter because it's a pending buy order.

I never told you to trade what I use, it's a mere suggestion in case it helps as its working great for me. If you go back to first post you'll see my quoted post. I know how to trade it perfectly.

Last 2 months completely green for me.

Trade safe.
