Nova Volume Trading System

So if a trade was taken on the break and retest (1st candle after the retest) it would have hit a 2R.

Then the first proper nova signal also hit 2R - I have marked the entries.

Also, I have said many times before but I don't like to enter nova signals where price has already moved too fast (big bars) because they usually pull right back afterwards.

Instead of a 2:1 on each of those trades, you could target the high which is marked too so you get a better return (below)

So it could be almost 10R from those 2 trades. Crazy right?

And those trades would have hit where I mentioned last.

Also there was another nova signal and I set an entry which would be in profit.

These ones are usually a little more risky as it's not the best idea to enter a buy at a high but these are for education.

You can always set to break even or not take at all.

I won't be so active on here soon but I want to make sure people can see how it works and my thought process.

This stragety similar to Momo 5-minute scalp style, but the MACD is upgraded, seem to be your indicator include time weight average price or volume weight price. Kinda effective with scalping. Nice stragety btw.

Thanks man! - I'm not aware of the momo strategy. MACD was what I used to use before (custom one) but everything changed when I started to look into volume.

Oh I got it.
By the way how you guyz are managing risk with nova as I see, there is no shortage of entries to survive losses streaks and generate decent profits.

So the last 2 nova signals all produced profit - at least 2R anyways unless held.

I do prefer to set to BE when it's up 1R (1:1) so the win could have been a break even but as you can see... It just works.

The current trade we'll see if that hits too.

Yes if you can get over the psychology of trading and have confidence in the system it will make you profitable 1000%.

Very Nice ref! If you had taken that last signal where the crosshair is, it would have closed at BE after 1:1, right? Also do you add positions if you get a new signal and last signal didn't reach target yet?
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

WOWZA! BTC is insane today

Targetting old highs on BTC today had nova entries hitting up to 42R in 1 trade lol

I got tired of marking up the entries but yeah... It's a bit ridiculous really...

Of course, the sensible trader will take 2R trade but the power of Nova is there to see

Although every man woman and dog should be profitting from BTCUSD today anyways

I prefer to be in 1 trade at a time really before I take more signals unless I can set to break even.

All these trades here I haven't been taking... I usually take 2 or 3 trades and I'm done for the day but if I were to sit and trade all day I could stack up so much more.

Any position that I get a bit unsure about I'll set to break even when its around the 1:1 area so those that start off well and then quickly sort of reverse and could send me into drawdown I won't be taking a loss on.. they will certainly be break even. Even if they ended up hitting TP later.

Nice work brother.
Since you made the indicator, a question about the markets you trade and the ideal entry condition. Sorry if it was asked before. Do you only trade only gold or just the markets with the best conditions, you personally?

I saw your examples, just trying to put it in to words. Do you only trade only gold or just the markets with the best conditions, you personally? As i understand, the indicator works best on strong trending markets/timeframes that ideally break recent highs and nova then helps timing the entry after pullbacks. Either to the stacked ma's or a level, you anticipate a bounce back to the overarching...
Thanks mate, appreciate the good vibes.

I’ve been around the block with what I trade... started off on EU and GU back in the day but just got tired of sitting around all day waiting for something to happen. Switched over to DAX for a while cause I liked how fast it moved... but I remember blowing £80 down to £10 in like a flash, then caught a lucky trade and flipped it back to £80 again That’s when I realised indices weren’t really for me. That was around 2015 or so.

Went back to EU after that but got bored again. Ended up hopping strategies for a while until a mate of mine introduced me to something solid - custom MACD and the 3 EMAs (50, 100, and either 200EMA or 240LWMA depending on the chart). I still use that strategy style to this day, just kept things simple and focused on fast movers again.

I eventually settled on gold, NAS100, and US30 - but gold's the one I really clicked with. It just made sense to me the more I studied it, so I stuck with it.
Nova came about last year when I started getting annoyed with myself. I was profitable overall, but I’d give back big chunks of profit by doing exactly what I said I wouldn't do - take one more trade. Greed gets the best of us sometimes lol.

So I went down the rabbit hole on volume... like proper binge-mode, studied everything I could. Eventually came to the conclusion that volume needed to be my core focus, not all the noise. Got together with some mates and built Nova out of that - I wanted something that could show me what each bar was doing, relative to trend, and who was actually in control.

Long story short... I just trade gold now. It fits my style, it’s clean, and Nova works best in trending conditions. People say you don’t know when a trend’s gonna start, but I’ve found you can spot the signs... mostly by watching for fakeouts and what price is trying to do.

Like today for example... gold dropped first to grab liquidity, then flipped into an uptrend. That’s the stuff I wait for. Break an old high, moving averages flip, wait for a pullback, catch the Nova signal, and ride it to the next high. I usually teach people to go for 2:1 R:R, but if you manage the trade right, there’s often a lot more in it - check my earlier posts for examples.

Lately I check trend on H1 (prefer that TF now), wait for a Nova background change on H1, then drop down to M1 and look for entries. I’ll usually mark out potential target areas based on previous highs/lows too.

Old highs or lows getting taken is where I expect the pullback to come in - that’s normally the start of a decent trend. Still keep the HTF in mind though so I know where I’m playing.

Anyway, sorry for the long post - just wanted to give you a proper answer. Hope it all makes sense

The results are indisputable. Obviously, the trend is your friend. Replicates the move.
