This week I have placed 9 demo trades. 5 won, 4 lost. However bad win percentage but my R:R was 2% to 6% so made 22% which is crazy I’m so shocked.

Here is one example, I looked at weekly to check price was moving from engulf, then went straight to either 30min or 1h chart and entered when there was a engulf followe boy a failed engulf close by.

I’ll keep trying this as the result is unbelievable, but very early. I’ll keep,tracking to see how it goes.

Edit, added another example and also uploaded one of the loosing trades which I entered to early and just got stopped out before it went on to target.

well done.
amazes me too with the win rate.
please report here your testings.
yes this goes to show that most traders who missed out using weekly, and like to use m5 and below for trade entry, are not able to beat your performance.

also try out the w1 and h4 combo.
h4 with ef first and then eg.
only 4 trades but greatly increase the win rate and i think with the same kind of return.
i see that you have the patience to wait for the set up.

Thank you! I really struggle with the LTF confirmed entries and can’t grasp it, I find the engulfs but everyone doesn’t work for me for some reason.

Interesting jumping from weekly straight to 30min and 1h worked for me. I looked for price that had left a weekly engulf and was offing to the next one then dueled to 30min or 1h, I didn’t trade any that were in the weekly engulf if that makes sense.. then on the 30min or 1h I looked for a recent engulf that caused a engulf failure and just entered putting my sl above the engulf and set target to R:R 1:3.

I’ll definitely keep trying this and posting, I wasn’t sure if this was not following you strategy 100% so thanks for letting me post still.

i just need to get better at recording my grades as i enter and exit with a screen shot!

yes you are following.
as long as you are comfortable with the stop loss.
h4 and above = direction
h1 and below = trade entry

or look at it this way.
treat the trade control as trade entry time frames.

Very nice. Both your results and FX Blue.
I have just opened a small account with Axitrader, I might hook it up to FX Blue.
Your trade order needs to be in the right place at the right time.
