{quote} Thanks, Fream, I’m doing well and inching closer to my goals. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I mainly focus on trading the H4 and higher timeframes. I’m still quite new to Forex myself and learning every day, so I’ll just share how I personally see it. In the DE40 chart, if you plan to trade on H1, then your higher timeframe reference would be H4 (roughly 4–6 times the current timeframe). The H4 background already reflects the higher timeframe (D1) trend, which in your case is clearly down. The beauty of the Golden Cross Method is that each...

the market has been sideways range bound for many weeks.

@SwingMan' Golden Cross Trading Idea is one of many trend following trading methodology. It will work well when the market conditions are trending - Weekly , Daily and the H4.
When we trade the following the Weekly and Daily trends, this is when we can maximize profits with multple Rs profits and risking only one R risk.




DE40

You will see below how this performed well in trending Weekly and Daily .. with just a Risk to Reward of 1 to 3.

{quote} Hello @emmanuel7788, thank you for your valuable observation. I am just a beginner who wants to learn and be consistent with this system. You are absolutely right. I have overlooked the most important thing. I have prioritized the system and the signal over structure and fractality. Thank you very much for sharing the video. I'm from Argentina, so it's difficult for me to find such valuable videos. I'm going to watch it and study it. Thank you very much indeed. I hope you're doing well.
You will learn a lot from that video.

Good Morning Everyone,

I’m truly excited and humbled to share that I’ve passed my third PROPFIRM account.

I have no words to express my gratitude to George (aka SwingMan) once again. I strongly believe in giving credit where it’s due, and I can honestly say that the Golden Cross Method by George has completely transformed my trading. It just clicked with me and aligned perfectly with my mindset.

Even though my personal circumstances weren’t ideal, I stayed consistent. I was often tempted to try other indicators and systems, but I made a firm decision with myyself to stick with the Golden Cross Method, and the results have been amazing.

Because of my full time job and health limitations, I didn’t have much screen time, so I TESTED the method on M5/M30 timeframes. That helped me understand the same core principles visible on H4/D1, effectively shortening my learning curve. I also took time to study each indicator individually, learning what every input parameter did and how it affected chart behavior.

Looking back, I’ve now completed 3 × 10% and 3 × 5% targets on prop firm accounts, a total of 45% and it still feels unreal how far I’ve come. Of course, I made mistakes along the way, like any new trader would. But every step was built on self study, trust in the system, and the insights shared by George through his posts and replies. His generosity and clarity truly helped me unlock the method’s full potential.

Once again, my heartfelt thanks to George for sharing his brilliant Golden Cross Method selflessly. I know how hard it can be to keep contributing when one isn’t in the best health, and I genuinely appreciate the dedictaion by George.

Let me also say that this method is no a Holy Grail. It’s a structured, rule based method that rewards time, study, discipline, and consistency. If you dedicate yourself to reading these 37 pages, demo trade, post charts, share ideas, and stay patient, the results will naturally follow.

I’m sure that if I could achieve this, many of the silent readers following this thread can too.

In the beginning, most of us believe that technical analysis is everything, we spend countless hours studying charts, price action, and indicators. And yes, technicals are important they’re the foundation.

But here’s what I’ve learned is that Trading is like an exam and each section has its own weightage
Technical analysis: 30–40%
Psychology and mindset: 30%
Risk management: 30%

Even if you master every setup and spend 10,000 hours studying charts, without testing , emotional control and proper risk handling, success will still be out of reach.

That’s why I keep the things simple and focused , Just followed whats was already shared by in the thread . The Golden Cross Method already covers everything on the technical side once you understand it deeply, you don’t need to overload your chart or switch timeframes. Everything you need is right there, visible and logical.

After that, the real work begins, developing the right psychology, emotional control, and risk management. That’s what separates consistent traders from inconsistent ones.

So, to all fellow traders, especially those just starting out, remember:

Technicals tell you what the market might do (Golden Cross Method in my case)
Psychology controls how you react.
Risk management decides how long you will survive.

If you’ve chosen this system, commit fully, don’t jump between methods. Switching systems will only reset your progress. Stay focused, and you’ll see results begin to align naturally with your effort.

Apologies for the lengthy post ,I tend to get a bit emotional. That’s one of my personal challenges, thats why I plan to gradually move toward automation, to reduce the emotional element in my trading.

Please keep in mind that I am new to Forex, I am not an expert, this thread belongs to George (SwimgMan) I am just sharing what I have done to help others.

DO NOT follow me blindly and you can find every thing, template, indictaors indictators in this thread, just read and reread you will be amazed.

Do not make the simple process complex and you will be amazed.

Master the Golden Cross method, but Master yourself even more. Keep it simple. Stay consistent. Trust the process.

Wishing all the members loads of PIP$

Thanks @Emmanuel7788

I really appreciate your continued interest and for taking the time to correct me.

What you’ve shared comes from over 40 years of experience, while I’ve only been learning and applying for about a year, so your perspective naturally carries much more weight. I completely respect that.

From my limited experience, I’ve found that the method (Golden Cross Method in my case) is what helped me gain structure and consistency, and now I’m planning to focus more on developing the other two components, psychology and money/risk management, which, as you said, are crucial.

It would be truly helpful if you could share some educational charts or examples USING ONLY George’s Golden Cross indicators. That would help me and other members better understand how an experienced trader like you applies the principles in real time.

Your practical insights, combined with George’s tools, would be incredibly valuable for all of us still learning the method.

Thanks again for your time and for sharing your wisdom with the thread.

Best regards,

I am practicing the SwingMan Master strategy on a demo account.

I made a buy in USD/CAD on the 4H timeframe that hit the stop loss. I would like to hear your thoughts on my entry, whether it was correct despite hitting the stop loss or whether it was wrong. If I have overlooked something, or if you see anything in SwingMan's system that is not correct, please let me know, as it would be a great help.

According to what I read in the thread, it was an optimal entry following the system. Of course, losses can happen, but I may have overlooked something or failed to consider other factors.

I look forward to your comments, as they are very helpful to me.

Have a great day!!

Thanks Fream for sharing your trade, I think this kind of open discussion really helps everyone learn.

From what you described, your BUY ENTRY on USDCAD H4 seems to have been fully in line with Golden Cross Method I would have taken the same trade myself.

In my case, I usually set a STOP ORDERS with the recommended hard SL as shown on the top right panel. Since most of the time I’m away from the screen, I just check occasionally to see how trades are progressing. Most often, the TP is hit, sometimes, as in your case, the SL gets triggered, that’s just part of trading.

Hopefully, your stop loss was placed at the low of the previous candle, as indicated by the rectangle on the chart. That would have been the correct placement according to the system rules.

Also, as George mentioned earlier that he’s currently testing a Slope Permission indicator, which should help filter entries and further improve the success rate once it’s finalized. So, even though this trade ended in a loss, it still looks like a valid setup under the current version of the system.

As per my limited knowledge your trade decision seems solid, the entry logic was correct, and the outcome was just one of those normal cases where the market didn’t follow through. If you look now seemsa the price, seems like it just touched your SL and started to rise again. I face similar situations too, and I think once the Permission indicator is integrated, many of these borderline trades might be filtered out.

As I am still not very good at trade management, I have still saw many of trade go close to TP and then hunt my SLs.

Hopefully George can also share his insights too, his input would definitely help us refine our understanding even more.

Thank you, EN, your observations are very helpful.

At the end of the session today, i took another entry in EUR/USD on the 1H timeframe, and currently the price has moved in my favor.

I have my doubts about the daily timeframe, as i am not sure, despite the indicator showing bullish on the H4 chart (for the higher timeframe > daily), whether the daily timeframe was really in an uptrend.

In any case, the indicator was bullish for daily, bullish for 4H, and all that remained was to wait for the price to approach the 30-period moving average and generate a buy signal in 1H, adding to the confluence of the indicators.
Something I always do when a trade is going in my favor is: Once the price has reached 0.5% of the movement, I place my stop loss position at breakeven. Therefore, the operation will run without risk with the intention of achieving an R:R of 1:2.

I look forward to posts from more forum users so we can share ideas and learn together. Greetings to all!

On your chart it is obvious you did not follow the Triple Screen Analysis Weekly, Daily and H4.

You H4 shows price consolidation - big candle and small candles. This happen after the Daily Oct 14 was a pullback close.

Do you know how @SwingMan calculate the entry, stop loss and take profits?
I'll leave the explanation to him to reply your post.

@ENoris

We can all trade blindly following a black-box system and accept trade losses as being inherent in the system.

We will never learn why there are losses and how to improve the win rate and system expectancy.

Hi Fream,

Good to hear about your EUR/USD trade, sounds like you followed the rules well, and I really like how you’re managing risk by moving your stop to breakeven after a 0.5% move. That’s a disciplined and smart approach.

For testing and getting a better understanding of how the system behaves, I suggest using M5/M30 on a demo account. This combination mirrors the behavior of H4/D1, but since the lower timeframes move faster, you can observe and learn from more setups in a shorter time. It helps you see how signals form, how price reacts, and how the system logic plays out in real time. (It has helped me a lot)

It’s also important to understand how the predicted values are being calculated especially the Predicted Close Price for the current candle and the Predicted Cross of the 5 LWMA (open) and 5 LWMA (close). Once you grasp these two concepts, the values shown at the top left of the chart in smGoldenCrossTrend_v2.2 will make much more sense. ( I encourage everone to read these 37 pages again until its all clear)

When the trend indicator shows LONG, it means that the 5 LWMA (close) is above the 5 LWMA (open). The “Trend: LONG” status will flip to SHORT when the price closes below the value displayed next to it. That’s why I mentioned earlier that this value can be treated as support or danger zones for that time frame, if the price crosses below that level, a shift in trend may occur by the opposite side 5LWMA crossover.

The opposite logic applies for SELL signals.

It’s equally useful to understand the Predicted Close Price and Predicted Crossover values that appear for each bar. These are very helpful for allowing trades to run longer with confidence, since they give an idea of how the short term trend may evolve.

Also, note the relationship between the 5 MA and 30 MA settings — on M5/M30 they match to H4/D1 combinations. (30MA of M5 time frame equivalent to to 5MA of M30, similarly and 30MA of H4 is equivalent to 5MA OF D1. Through my own testing and learning, I’ve found that if you use H1/H4, the equivalent MA should be 5/20, and so on. Understanding this alignment helps you adapt the system effectively to any timeframe pair.

Lastly, I’ve posted some guides and explanations for the indicators (I have compiled them for my own understanding), which should help you and other members better understand these concepts in more depth.

Hope this helps clarify how the different components of the system work together.

George has given us the indicators and now its up us to use them to full potential as they have be given to us and discussed in the thead OR to MAKE it complicated.

Best of luck to you and other members, wishing everyone loads of PIP$

I wasn’t able to take a screenshot when I placed the Stop Order, but the TP was set at a 1:1 ratio (fixed TP and SL).

Everyone, please don’t complicate this simple process and don’t let yourself get distracted.

I’ve said this many times before, the main reason I moved away from those popular threads with hundreds or even thousands of pages is because simplicity gets lost in complexity.

Learning never stops and it shouldn’t but always remember: Simplicity is the Key.
