Last Night Trade: CHFJPY (H4) using SmallWick

TP1 achieved and was experimenting to Breakeven / Trail ST after TP1 was hit.
I reckon with proper money management and automation , SmalWick method can give give very good results.
I have noticed the Market times also play a very important role, slow / dead market sessions need to be avoided for better results.

Update Notice:
If you have already downloaded smGoldenCross Signals_v8.2.ex4 from my earlier post, please download it again.
I realized I was a bit too quick to grab the latest version, but it turns out George released an updated version after I had downloaded.
The corrected indicator is now updated in the original post above.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

AUDUSD H1 trade last night

Method: Golden Cross (with the latest updated smGoldenCoss Signal_v8.2)

A signal appeared, and after checking the conditions, I saw it was aligned with the higher timeframe. I placed a BUY STOP, risked 0.2%, and set TP1 and TP2.

I’m still fairly new to Forex trading, but it’s clear this is already a powerful strategy. With automation, it could become even more powerful.

Improvement Suggestions to George
If possible, it would be great to have the TP1 and TP2 levels displayed in the message at the top right corner along with the tarde parameters, similar to how it’s shown in SmallWick. That would be a very helpful addition.

After 8:00 AM, the signal was changed!


There are a major exception that I have introduced.
You can either consider it or not: the rule applies to the first 6 bars after a bar reaches the upper Donchian Channel.

In this case, you expect a rebound and a trend reversal, so you should not make long trades and only short trades.
Statistically, these trades have a higher chance of being profitable, and even if some "conform" trades would be correct, you can trade without them.

The Slope indicator can help you make a decision.
@ENoris was kind enough to add a supplement to the Donchian Channel to count the 6 bars.

I’ll try to explain.

Please find attached the latest template, which uses GoldenCross DF-DonchianFibo V2.16.ex4.

I have made a .rar file, with the latest indicators released by George and the recent template I am using currently.

You’ll need to download, place indicators in your Indicators folder and template in the temlate folder.

I’ve also attached an image in the compressed .rar, which I hope helps clarify your query.

I’ve requested George (time and health permitting), if in the next release, the placement of the comments can be made adjustable. At present, only the comments
from the most recently added indicator are displayed in the top left corner.

Also, as a note, you can test and change the settings of the indicators, add, remove, or adjust them as they suit your trading style.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks George, understand what your saying....you did explain this in one of your earlier posts. So my understanding is in a short example.....when price hits the top of the donchain channel you can look at trading short against the trend within 6 bars or so if the slope indicator conforms? Entry can be anywhere where you see fit?

{quote} Thanks so much, ENoris. I don't quite understand. Why did you put donchian in ?
Thanks ThaoAnh, for visiting the thread and showing interest in GoldenCross & SmallWick and posting charts of your variation GoldenCross idea.

First of all, I’m new to trading and don’t have much experience in both Forex and MQL programming, so I prefer to follow one approach, one person, instead of jumping from strategy to strategy.

After some evaluation, I chose to follow George (aka Singman) and his current thread "Golden-Cross Trading-Idea" , because he’s a selfless person who has openly shared so much on ForexFactory. I decided to stick with his Golden Cross and SmallWick method, he has taken many ideas and turned them into wonderful systems. I’ve tried to read through his older threads and posts, that it’s a bit overwhelming for me, so I’m focusing on his current and latest project (Golden Cross & SmallWick) which I believe he’s still refining. For the last two months I am also trying to study his old threads so see how these ideas can be automated into that dashboard and I am learning a lot. I am a slow leaner, a LAZY trader ( turned into a totoise)

Due to my daily work routine, recent health issues, and poor eyesight, I can’t sit in front of the screen for long periods. That’s why I’m always looking for automation to make things easier. I’m not 100% successful yet, but I’ll keep trying until I reach my goals. Being in an Admin role for over 25 years , has trained me to set goals, deadlines, and follow through.

Now, regarding the query regarding Donchian Channel, I have added it because George has mentioned several times in the past to include it, so I have aded also, sometimes I use it sometimes i don't, depsite Donchian Channel indicator added in the template.

Below I have posted few links of the important posts ref Donchian Channel by George, which I hope will be helpful to you and others.

Donchian Channel 1
Donchian Channel 2
Donchian Channel 3
Donchian Channel 4

Todays posts here , where George released GoldenCross DF-DonchianFiboV2.16.ex4

May humble request to you and to other members (both active and silent members) to post charts, ask questions, as it it wil help all of us in better understanding of the indictators / methods, I am sure it will also help George to develop these ideas further and automate them, like he has done before.

Loads of green PIP$ to all.

Disregarding the donchain channel as price is close to the bottom, would this be a valid signal?

I'm also trying to backtest it using soft4fx to gain a better understanding of the signals, having trouble with it, looks like it needs to be done live. (this right George?)

Seems like a valid entry to me also.

As you have mentioend, I also see it close to the lower Donchian Channel but still it has not touched / crossed the lower Donchian Channel.
D1 price is below the 5 MA Cross , Slope Indicator is showing a downward Red Arrow
W1 price is below the MAs , Slope indicator is showing a downward Red Arrow.

@Enoris with the help of your document and George I believe I have a better understanding of this strategy......I'm sorry for asking all these questions but I'm one that needs to understand rather than just buying/selling on generated signals.....this leads me to the next question about small wicks. I understand the concept however I'm struggling on how you can enter a trade based on the signals it generates. I've attached a chart which will explain it better, I have removed all other indicators and have the small wicks indicator in isolation. I set my TF on 1min so I can see how it operates and still I cant see how you would enter.

I don’t use timeframes lower than H4. Sometimes, when a setup is ready on H4, I drop down to H1 to fine tune the entry.

I’m not in a position to give suggestions as I’m still a beginner and learning, but I’d advise you to STEER AWAY from lower timeframes.

For testing purposes only, I’ve also used an M5/M30 combination, as it works in a similar way to H4/D1, the key is ensuring everything aligns (Triple Screen by Dr ALexnader Elder, also mentioned by George in his first post)

I’ve been through the same stage you’re describing, and here’s my understanding.
Keep the GoldenCross and SmallWick methods separate.
Don’t try to mix them. SmallWick is essentially a scalping concept. Internally, George coded certain conditions that, when met, will plot signal on the current bar, depending on the logic in the code, the signal can appear or disappear.

What I do:
Since I cant give too much screen time, due to my health and eyesight, I open 16 charts and arrange them with Alt+R (you can save this layout as a profile to save time).

Whenever I get a chance during the day or at night I to check the screen, I scan for signals across pairs. If I see a signal, I then check that chart, if price is above the 5/30 LWMA, I look for pairs where the price hasn’t yet reached the stop order entry level.

If the current price has crossed but is still close to the entry level, I sometimes go for a market execution (though it’s not preferred way).

If enough members show interest in these methods, test and post charts, and can request George to create a SmallWick EA that would visually scan pairs for signals and place stop orders automatically. It will be time saver.

Reference image you have psoted , I will leave that pair, as price has crossed the Entry level, crossed TP1 and now moving towards TP2, no need to enter at these levels.

Hope that helps.
