We will consider this pending order to be null and void as price came within 5 pips of the line. We can consider that as a missed first touch. Too bad as price rocketed upwards nicely. We had our trigger set at 3 pips from the line

Oil/USequities up up up and USD/CAD also going up. That is a complete breakdown of the usual inverse correlation. So we will be looking for a spot to get long on USD/CAD.

Still can't figure out how to set the EA with Bitcoin. This setup is basically a horizontal line so we can set it as is.

{quote} I'm not sure I understand your comment but thanks for posting.
Probably a cultural difference. In more direct language, your thread is a very good one. Your method has a lot of solid components to it. Most importantly, you are using it in real time on a funded account. You are not getting a lot of posts because everyone is taking notes who can understand what you are putting out, and those that cannot need to go back to babypips, so they cannot be trolls either. Okay, that's enough from me.

Edit: In my case, for example, while I do not take entries the way that you do, the dynamic trendlines are excellent ways to evaluate any active trades to determine whether or not it is time to get out with profit, tighten the stop, or add to a position. I am never too old to add to my toolbox.

Nice climb with the BTC trades.
Are you trading this same strategy on your funded account?
Why didn't you replicate the BTC trades?

Thanks.

I was going to but I wanted to make sure I could leave BTC trades open when they intermittently shut down their server during weekend hours for BTC. Plus, there can be some nasty gaps when they reopen. As well as pretty bad spreads. I haven't confirmed with their chat support yet so I decided not to risk it for now.

You are correct, on funded, those need to be closed. Anytime there is a 2 hour or longer closure.

I kind of thought that but wasn't quite sure.

Also, I did some seriously bad revenge trading on Friday to ruin my good start to the month and thought it best to let it go until Sunday anyways.

Hello traders, we have some setups to start the week but will wait to set any pending orders until the market has some liquidity.

From here on forward I will only trade fractal lines moving towards price by waiting for the line to break and then buying/selling the other side. I will only trade the first touch for fractal lines moving away from price and will catalog the angle of the fractal line that to see if steeper angles lines are better overall. Of course, if I get frustrated I will go insane and just start clicking buttons and hope for the best

We took a manual entry on GBP/NZD.

Pretty risky for a Sunday afternoon trade but we are sticking with the plan of buying a retrace back to a broken fractal line. Turns out upon further examination there is an older fractal line in confluence with our newest fractal line. Using an untested wickless trendline (saddle brown on the chart) as our TP guide.

Oops.

Packed up my tripod and zoom lens and went down to the local watershed to do some wildlife photography and forgot to set my pending orders for the setups I found. Missed the first touch on USD/JPY and of course, price perfectly touched the line before bouncing 12 pips. But it's only 12 pips, right? Wrong. Attention to detail is everything in trading. Why scour the charts for a few good setups and then miss the moment. I could have taken 12 pips profit. I could have tightened my SL and gave myself a really good risk/reward situation. Or, I could have moved my SL to BE for a risk-free running trade. But instead, I got a bad taste in my mouth and that could lead to some impatient trading. Maybe chase a trade that isn't a good setup.

Hey there Expo33,

Thanks very much sharing this system. I'm currently testing it out, hopefully I'm trading it correctly and will post some screenshots soon.

BTW I noticed you also started the Wolf Waves thread back in 2017.
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...et-in-the-zone

If I recall correctly within that thread you mentioned something like 70% of your trades at the time were based on Wolf Waves. Curious to know if that is still the case or if you've moved on and replaced your bread and butter trades with Fractal Geometry? Also do you find if there is much correlation between the two systems? I was very interested in Wolf Waves years ago before I realized you started a thread on this. Much appreciated for all your efforts and dedication on doing so.

On a personal note, hats off to you for being a single dad. I was one myself for many years and understand how tough it can be.

Thanks,
Timo
