Long GBP/JPY @ 239.37
S/L = 238.79

1-hour chart not looking its greatest, but I'm ok with taking chances.

Kevin, you might get pulled over for speeding. Doing 101 pips in a 50 pip zone is pushing it.

Hey alcastro,

I don't have the time right now to completely spell it out for you, but I just made a post in lever70's thread that should give you the gist of how I'm trading. This can be found here

Good luck,

Kevin
Hi Kevin,

I'm very new to this business and trying to learn from people who really know what they're doing like yourself. I had a look at the Lever 70 thread where you explain your method i.e reading the charts from left to right, vice versa for trend. When I tried this recently the charts were all over the place and it was difficult to discern a trend. When it is like this do you stay out of the market ?

Thanks

Yes, I probably would... Some good pairs for trading have been Long JPY crosses and short EUR/CAD... They are pretty clear trends..



I am going to the Rocky Mountains to do some hiking and camping this Sunday for a week, so I have cashed in all my trades, and probably won't trade for a week or so.

Here's all my trades I cashed in... it's 831 pips in one week
Of course, I was stopped out of 4 or 5 trades earlier for -50 pips each.... so it's more like 600 pips.

Hi Kevin,

When you determine the trend, how many bars are there usually on the visible part of your charts for doing this?

Sorry to trouble you Kevin,

Found your answer at lever70's:

"I try to include about 100 or so candles in my chart window."

I was impressed by Kevin's method (which I saw in lever70's cornflower system). I spent sometime thinking about it. My conclusion is that using about 100 bars to evaluate general Trend direction (visually from left to right) is not much different from using a 100-SMA (Simple Moving Average). After all, simply put, the 100-SMA just compares the price of current bar with the price of 100-bars back. Then it must be that if the 100-SMA is moving up, the Trend is up and if it is moving down, the Trend is down. (may be lever70's 72-EMA won't be that bad either, because EMA moves somewhat faster than SMA and so it might be close to 100-SMA). So, the important thing seems to be the use of multiple timeframes for Trend.

May be when Kevin come back, he can check if the 100-SMA (or 72-EMA) direction in the latest bar matches the way he sees the Trends visually. If it is correct, it will be easier to follow for others, simplify the work to quantitative numbers and easy to reproduce. Then we can even apply minimum slope limits to avoid sideways/choppy pair.

Thanks Kevin for sharing your method.

Hey chandra,

Thanks for your post! No matter what way you look at it, I think you're hitting the nail on the head, and that is to trade with the multiple time frame trend.

As far as simplifying Jacko's trend method, that is a personal choice. In my opinion, it doesn't get any more simple than Jacko's method.

"If you still don't get it, show it to a 5-year-old. They get it everytime. LOL" This is my quote from memory from Jacko It made me laugh.

My point is, use what you want to, just be sure you're with the trend. I think that's what Jacko emphasizes. Assuming you're with the trend, the cornflower system is going to work wonders for you. I'm waiting for a losing period to bring me down, but it won't seem to come

Good luck,

Kevin


Just got back from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Wow, just what I needed; beautiful and peaceful. I don't know if there any other backpackers here, but I love to go backpacking and enjoyed my 3 night stay in Rocky Mountain National Park back country. Although it was quite cold.


Well it turns out, that I headed back to town sooner than I thought I would because an old friend is coming into town, so I had a thursday and friday to trade.

Trades so far:

Long GBP/JPY @ 400.00
S/L = 239.50

Long GBP/CHF @ 2.4379
S/L = 2.4321

Not bad for 3 hour's work. 2 trades above are in profit, and I'd hate to speak too soon, but outlook is good so far. I was looking for another chance to enter into GBP/JPY, but it seems like it's on its way up for now. I went ahead and moved my S/L to break even @ 240.00

Good night and good luck,

Kevin

Hey Trump,

Thank you for your compliment! I only use cornflower for entries that coincide with Jacko's trend following method. Nowadays, I exit when the 3-hour chart doesn't show a clear trend in the direction that I am in.

I'm glad you brought up Method BB. I'm not sure what to think about this method. I don't know if it's good, bad, mediocre, or horrible. But I thought it was good at one point. All I know is that now, I am winning more consistently than ever, and assuming it isn't a fluke, I'm fairly excited about that.

Regards,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Can I ask you when you use the cornflour system do you always wait for a pullback or if the trend is in the right directon do you just enter ?

Thanks

Hello bundubill,

I usually only trade pullbacks to either the 8 or 12 EMA's, and less frequently to the 24 and 72 EMA's. If you just enter with the trend and a 50 pip stop, you will get stopped out more if you do not wait for retracements.

Good luck,

Kevin
