i think i'm doing this wrong, but it feels right at the moment with only 30:1 leverage

instead of averaging up, i'm averaging down when following the trend, this was my third attempt following on from my first, my second failed due to greed and would of taken a loss live, i let it run in the sim to feel the pain of the drawdown

this was a slow moving trend and difficult to read, but as always, volume analysis helped considerably along with careful price action analysis bar by bar and netted my best simulated profit so far

Nice catch my friend!

I think the only way to know for (almost) sure is to try and get 200 different setups and then judge the overall performance.

{quote} I had no luck with Renko. I think it works better on higher time frames. And it performs better with stock trading i had no luck with small timeframes. However if you do it. I recommend making block sizes anywhere 25-33% of the atr of that time frame.
Thanks for sharing!

Stock trading is very interesting. A japanese trader (Takashi Kotegawa) used volume and very simple setups to turn $13,600 into $153,000,000 in 8 years (very impressive):

Although it's a bit old (from the 2000's) and markets change a lot, I think it's still worth studying (he used M5 charts BTW).

thanks Abade, good to hear from you! i would say you are 100% correct - running these setups and watching them live is where my focus lies while scraping in a living on the counter trend setups which i'm feeling quite comfortable with at the moment, and to be honest mate, since discovering your thread, i'm now a lot more confident with them, so thanks again

this was the one that failed, i picked it wrong and would of closed around the yellow circle if it was live for sure - the drawdown was sustainable throughout that period if one was brave enough to wait it out

it was my counter trade in the blue circle after that which i missed due to greed!

i let it run to my third attempt i talked about in my previous post, never like taking a loss, even in the sim!

197 to go!

as i mentioned before great thread and strategy,Dealing with FXmarkets.I Read all the posts then reread it again for cpfleger posts as he is one of the best performing in concepts and approach of counter trending scalping in this thread. so i want to mention something, in his way of money management after enter his first position.

I noticed that when he have good set up were price pierce the 9 ema and RSI intersect and hikinashi candle reverse and he enter his first trade after 1 candle in profit have closed , he continue adding up for every candle going toward the target 20 EMA so this a good way of managing risk and have more confidence that he is going to hit the target but in comparison of kof style of trading were he cost average and buy more as price going against him which can lead to loss if he faces a big trend against his positions.

i have seen cpfleger add as price reverses and wait for retaurn after a while but i think we can simply stop adding trades to a losing position if we are not comfortable so in this case we accept to loss but with much less entries and minimal DD.

Really liking this system. I've been caught on XAUUSD which seems to not be a good match for this strategy.

I noticed we are judging distance by "good enough" or by our own discretion and I personally have been exploring some ways that I could quantify this and be alerted so that I don't have to feel glued to the screen constantly as I am a part time trader.

How about the distance in pips of the 200 moving average to the current price? We can configure MADash with just M1 and 200 MA across whichever pairs we want set a threshold and keep an eye on one dashboard.

Check out MADash: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...3#post13330853

In doing some testing anything above 100 pips MA Distance to 200 EMA on M1 seems to be a good spot but more testing is needed and I have only done some testing on EURUSD.

Would love to hear others thoughts. Happy trading and many pips to all!

Hi Verocity, i am experimenting for long time with that , in this post i am using ema 200 with lvls 180/-180 ( in pips) https://www.forexfactory.com/attachm...7?d=1670683296 and I was using an indicator that alerts me when the price hits a level say 200 or 300, but that indicator was in my old laptop can’t find it. The same question arises, the sweet spot is not for all currencies, we must experiment with that, and also need some more confirmation plus the distance from ema 20 i would say,and how many candles did not reach ema20, but overall I think the idea is good. All the best

{quote} Hi Chucun Here is two charts, Top - EURUSD from spot forex showing MT5 volume Bottom - EU6H23 which is the EURUSD Futures Version showing Futures Volume. Spot EURUSD & Futures EU6H23 are both connected by swaps, creating a way to measure volume as if it came from a centralized exchange. You can trade spot EURUSD and borrow the signals off the Futures version and you can be sure its accurate representation as seen on a histogram indicator. Just use ClusterDelta on MT4 or MT5 and your back in the game. This was from yesterday's open on EURUSD...

As promised, I looked into Clusterdelta to compare the volumes from mt4 vs a futures market. To determine if the futures' volume add any benefit to my trading. The images below show a vast difference from mt4 to futures volume; I've tried to use the future's volume to help validate or invalidate a trade, counter trending and trending, correlate the candle to volume; futures' volume does not add anything to my analysis, the mt4/mt5 tick volume might just represent the forex market more accurate than the futures. The Forex market is the #1 financial market, The future's might just be a segment/slice from the actual traded volume by the entire forex industry. Just my opinion.

Volume on future, show the extreme peaks and valleys (highs and lows) of the volume but lacks the minute-by-minute data to assist with price action. However, they are similar in at least one way, they do correlate when the highest and the lowest volume hits the market. But it does not provide much data when those peaks and valleys are not in the market.

Rick, I don't see a benefit to using clusterdelta volume data to help me make better decisions.

Anyone can provide their feedback. Let me know if you guys want different images to help.

Tick volume for me wins hands down.

Hi Chucun

I respect the time you took to look into the differences between Forex & Futures volume.
Just remember that Tick volume is not volume, rather it's a measure of tick activity which may actually be more use to you as a trader anyway.

We all see different things of course and either information may be of more use to a trader than the other.

Here's my take
Futures volume makes you realise that most of the time, there is very little liquidity within the market (talking both forex & futures)
That is because they are connected by swaps so Big players can trade on Forex and hedge cheaper on Futures.
For trend traders, if you trade with a trend when futures volume stays above X amount of volume, you normally win.
If you fade when future volume mostly remains below X amount, you normally win.

Thats an 80% win rate where you use futures volume to trade forex.

Is that good enough for most traders?

Best of luck with your trading Chucun and use what works for you best.

hi, here's couple of thoughts, the strategy is a good match but needs to be applied differently to how it is being discussed here for it to be successful according to the author - and yes this is discretionary trading which requires you to be glued to the screen, it cannot be scripted, also according to the author

and just a final thought, even if you quantify it to produce an alert, by the time you react it may be too late, and if not, you will not have the "feel" of the market backing your decisions...

RickM,

Thank you and best of luck to you as well.

Thanks for the additional details. Yes I have a decent understanding of tick volume (every tick movement in the price register as 1 tick volume). Correct me if I'm wrong in my interpretation. I guess the magic in using futures volume is knowing what the # volume is that typically identfies a trend. Obviously that magic # will be different for every tradable asset.

I will look at it from your perspective. Can you provide a pair or asset that you have identified and correlated; when the volume is greater than x volume it typically trends?

Thanks

Things going out of road and seems many versions fight here. Original idea is good but will be in short time backstage as so many other systems in forexfactory.
A one hint for filtering early trades out can be waiting for the third trendline touch, before ever concider take trades.

Hi guys, I hope you all are doing great! Has anyone tried using renko instead of time candles for the EMA strategy?: {image} If you have, feel free to share your experiences with it.
I have. Doesn't work well. You lose some resolution with bigger box sizes and it's too much noise (ironically) with smaller box sizes. You're more likely to get caught in a strong trend. I know because I've done a lot of work with Renko over the years, including writing bots and buying the OVO package to backtest renko accurately but you're welcome to try.
