{quote} In a scale of 10 how many profitable trades you had using your observations? 9+ Here is a year of trading. My floating DD never exceeds 5%, because that is my loss cuttoff. Typically, it doesn't exceed 1%. Annual profit was about 40%. As you can see from the plot, I go for small, consistent wins. {image}
Wow, very well achieved. This is the way to go. Will look forward for your posts, good stuff.

Anyways got knocked out of my sell at breakeven

Retested Asia range then huge bull wave which I was unprepared for (came to the charts without a plan which is never a good idea)

Anyways feeling frustrated I decided to short the Dow (with low position size). I have dreams of 35000 and it starts off good, i'm like 6xR up at one point

NYSE opens and creams my breakeven stop

Zero day. Hope everyone here had better luck

{quote} What happened on GBPUSD 5min? Did it work, did you close it manually?????? {image}
Hey Tech good te see you

Yep closed it manually with some pips loss.

Still working on this method, playing around in the live setting.

Its a strong zone, it almost seems like a triple bottom now.
Im gonna wait and see what happens before trying a third time lol

edit:
there is some H1 & M30 R now so not sure what will happen

I didn't trade GU today. But with EU zapping up I knew it would zap this up too. Well, tomorrow I expect blood on the charts but money in my account. I still have 1285 short on EURUSD under water. Closed the 1314 and 1300 shorts in profit. Will wait to hit 1.1250 or near it to get out of the 1285 short with profit. Good day but not enough profit to assuage my anger. Lol...

{quote} Hi Guys, Important levels are currently being broken. My Yearly Midpoint at 1.3500. George's decider level is at 1.3528. My yearly open at 1.35352. My monthly pivot at 1.35172. We need a weekly close above 1.35658 which is last week's candle open which could give some momentum to bulls. I am in with a buy trade just above 1.3500. My system is giving me bullish confirmation signals and I will add buy trades on pullbacks. It is still iffy at the moment and a strong close below 1.3500 today will negate my bullish bias. London open should...
Hi Folks,
We are in a flip zone where things could go either way. This upmove has been strong and without much pause, which calls for a correction?. From a 4hr perspective I am getting rejection signs and have entered a short scalp trade with a 25 pip stop loss. It is important for price to get back down below my mid-round number at 1.35500 today. Thursdays are generally retracing, correction or reversal days for me, and not forgetting NFP this week. A retrace towards my monthly pivot at 1.35172 would be enough to draw my attention towards a possible buy trade set up in line with my system. Below 1.3500 and more so a weekly close below I will re asses my situation.
Trade safe,
Cheers.

{quote} Very impressive! The only thing I don't understand is how your total profit is 40% for one year of trading. To make a living with that low of a profit margin you'd need a massive account size far bigger than the average retail trader.
Did I say somewhere that I trade for a living???

In any case, if I wanted to trade at a more serious level, I would increase the lot size progressively and never make any withdrawals until the account reached a certain size. If you look carefully at the plot, you can see a step shortly after trade#150 and another after about trade#225. Those are where a step up in lot size was made as certain levels of profit were made. In addition, I would change from a default of a small fixed TP to letting many of the trades run with a trailing stop.

Remember, the "average retail trader" does not make a living as a trader; he blows his account within 2 years (a very high percentage within 6 months) and gives up.

I don't have any statistics to back up a claim, but I suspect that the "average retail trader" has little more than $1,000 of discretionary money that he can put into an account anyway. So even with a 100% annual return and no withdrawals, how long would it take for him to be able to "trade for a living"?

{quote} I like your graphs. Look at this 1m chart is a clear sell and compared with 4h chart (evening star) and if the current candle goes over 50% lower then the previous bulish engulfing candle, then we have a strong 4 h sell signal. {image}{image}
Well, M1 is a bit far from H4 to connect that way, but you have the right idea.

For those that pay attention to smaller TFs such as M15/M30, did you notice how M15 was building a POTENTIAL sell continuation? Did you take it? I did not: By the time I had an M15 sell condition confirmed, the M30 turned up. How likely is it that a sell on M15 is going to go very far if M30 is heading the opposite direction?

And if this up swing can go high enough to turn up H1, then this little progression of of downtrends is in danger of being wiped out and we return to the up trend.
