I am taking trades on things I have not shown here so don't worry, do your analysis on what I have shown.

Hi tommiho
Have to admit that as shocked me a little, thought you had it well sorted
With the number of trades you have done
Can you see any patterns or flaws in your entry and exit decisions
eg
Grid to small/large
Stops to big/small
Targets to big/small
Certain pairs just very unkind to you
etc etc
I'm sure Tony will comment and get you back on track

Hi Dave,

these are live trades taken for past 2 weeks.
That might be one of the differences.
Might be that I was lucky to caught the more one directional trends and was able to capitalize on them (while trading demo, the trades performance you referred to) and these days market would be choppier?
I also was unable to distinguish reversals properly and stayed in trades till SL were hit.
And when I realized that and started to trade with the reversed direction I was too late and SL were hit again.
I'm still having a problem to recognize above, where I'm confusing what is only a pull back in a bigger frame to be a complete reversal of the prevailing movement.

Not there yet it seems.
But threading water rather than sinking

{quote} Being honest, I to am struggling with the way Tony uses his trend line method, so there are time I resort to cheating, for a little extra help
I believe cheating is allowed
And I think you took Tony's way of trading and implemented it to yours rather than made his way the main method you use.
I endeavored to make it my own.
Fingers crossed that I'm indeed able to.

{quote} Do you remember a previous post from Tony when he mentioned the GbpUsd previous Monthly low, i used it to post some 7 2 7 charts Well if you pin a band to that low how far would you expect it to stretch With this in mind lets say we move up 100 pips then another 100 pips how much farther can it go ? That is why I like his last posts as you can count how many Phase's the move goes from a give level I may have a slight advantage over you, as I have previously traded and discussed with Tony were the original idea came from and how he as much...
Yep, I can see advantages of combining approaches and experiences.
Honestly I had to restrain myself a few times to look at those past experience I had but they involved a lot of things that just didn't work or worked just partially and I couldn't rely on them long therm.
Tony is making it work in it's purest way and I will try to do the same. There is certainly a much more experience under his belt so I think I should be content with the result I achieved so far.

I'll be reading the thread again to pick up on some important things that I didn't get at the time and will try to improve on what I already know.

And your ideas are always welcome even that I can't recognize the importance of them right away. In time I might.

Thanks

Well it can stretch a lot
Will try to spot some common things that might show some expectancy as how far it can go.

Tommiho, learning a system and trading a system are 2 different things, it costs you zero $$$ to plot lines on your chart tracking past prices into the current market and then plotting the future lines and watching how the market reacts.
When I said I recommend doing a live demo, I meant after you are proficient in the skills you are learning and have confidence in your ability to read what is going on and prepare for when it doesn't play out like you expect. I do not recommend combining any other method with my system while learning it. If you are profitable with a system you have already learned then use that on a live market but do not try to mix them unless you have become proficient in a demo while learning mine. Demo acc is for learning, Live demo acc is for keeping you from forming permanent bad habits.

You don't have to try to "get it" just stick to the method and order I have shown, use one pair when demo trading but plot the ABCD's to the current market on as many pairs as you can to get the skills down pat.

Well it looked like I was on a right track as Dave pointed out and I thought it myself.
Seems not and I'll go back to demo.

You have been on the right track but you tried to run before being stable in your walking. This is why I keep stressing the basics and sticking to the order of my method.

This is another grid indicator I have it is called my analysis grid, it plots the completed moves from whatever date and scale I input. I am showing this so you can see I have put many years, hours and $$$ into my system to figure things out to what I have now. So, please do not try to run before learning how to walk.

I'm definitely aware of that and you have my utmost respect devising this and putting so much effort in it.

I thought I was there so I quickened my pace a bit, who wouldn't want to run from time to time ?
And at the same time I thank you for telling me to slow down.
I believe all that is happening is very natural, me trying to hasten things you telling me to slow down.
So back to drawing board.

I still have few things that I just didn't get even you have answered them, will try to reformulate . Not sure it is important or not but it bugs me.
Especially when getting from 1000 to 100 to 10, those steps are huge and a lot of things, directional wise can happen between them.

thanks

Now your talking
just wondering how many chapters in the book
Your version is a real gem
Hmmm
maybe I should slow down and show a little more patience with what you have to reveal
Go stuff mate, in fact very very good stuff

A very real improvement on the (Ab) and Murrey methods)
Just quite amazing the work you have put into this

There are a lot of chapters I have not shown.

This was a learning tool to show me when a leg was completed however I did not have the ABCD movement yet so I never had it programmed.

If you want to learn my system it does not mean you have to stop with yours. I have many systems I created and used while building this one, since it's completion years ago. I no longer use any of the others, they have become irrelevant.
