Very nice post.. Home runs do not win the games for it could be the little base hits. Why do posters on forums boast about the zillions of pips they make? Funny.
I see all the time forex traders saying similar to the above, in that they suggest we should go for singles instead of home runs. I don't think there is anything wrong with going for home runs. I think they are a great thing. It reminds me of a great quote we all can learn from. It was from a baseball hall of famer who played back in the 1940's and 50's (I can't remember his name right now):

"Home run hitters drive Cadillacs, singles hitters drive jalopies."

Yes, one can be successful hitting singles, but the ones that REALLY go for it are the ones that REALLY hit it big! Just ask that guy who has been inducted in Cooperstown, N.Y. (home of the baseball Hall of Fame).

I thought I'd post my results for the 2 yen trades I took.
I made 32 pips out of pound/yen and 5 from dollar/yen. I'd hoped they'd run a bit more but wasn't to be. I'm watching G/Y for a breakout early next week.

I have followed my stop loss from my equity days. I take the ATR (average true range) on a 30M chart and multiply it by 3 and then divide that by 1.5.

It works for me pretty well.

That's my thoughts.

I've been working on using ATR for S/L - and am interested in you x 3 /1.5 ... please add insight

i'm currently testing cornflower! just a couple questions about entry!
do you enter right when it hits 24 EMA or do you wait for the next candle to form first? How do you determine if the trend will continue when it is in the 12 + 24 EMA? would you go into dips and rallys when the other 3 EMAs are far away from the 72 EMA?

awesome forum btw!

  • Nov 8, 2007 3:33am Nov 8, 2007 3:33am
oh i forgot to ask. how important is the direction and angle that the 3 smaller EMAs are pointing in? say in a down trend do they need to be pointing down along with the trend?

Have been following cornflower posts for quite a while. Have authored several (independent) corroborating setup/ trigger indicators that greatly simplify (accurately) identifying potential cornflower trades; have been using this hybrid for sometime now. This application uses the genesis trade navigator (Colorado Springs, CO) platform. I am reluctant to share my thoughts and work, as last time I attempted to so on a forex factory thread, I was met with less courtesy than I would have expected from educated people. Since I have not yet started writing a comprehensive operations manual, the best I can do is share a screen dump if requested.

This is an simple and easy system for anyone to trade, has anyone had any luck with the EA made for it?

It seems that as simple as it is the EA should work well also

Yes, am always interested in simplifying a good system and thus am curious to review your hybrid. Please feel free to share.

Hi bfs,

Thanks for your post.

The Cornflower system is beautifully simple and effective. However, if you have suggestions on making it even more powerful, please don't hesitate to share.

Looking forward to your future posts.

thanks for sharing this system lever70!

i just got a couple of questions i was wondering if anyone on this forum can help me. From your experience do most if not all initial entries or trend reversals (price action break of 72 EMA) come from news? and from my experience just watching the market i noticed that if price breaks the 72 EMA at the top of its range on the candle it is still only 50/50 for a good trade, any comments?

i've had really good success with the pull back trades +500 or so pips this week! but i never tried a initial entry yet!

Ive tried a few initial breakouts, but haven't had as nearly as much success with them as I have with the pullback system.As I'm increasing my lots, I'm waiting for the better set ups and letting them run. I mainly trade the G/J and the A/u pairs.

How many set ups a day have you found to be average with the GJ and AU pairs?

Hey lifegauge,how long did it take you to do that $8k-$17k with cornflower?
Hello all

In the absence of success stories for this strategy, I am posting a snapshot of my live account statement (*I removed name and address from the PDF*) In my previous post I said it took me 5 days to get from $8k to $17, I was wrong. It took me 7 days.

Good trading and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Just remember that a home run doesn't need to happen today, tomorrow, or even this week. A real home run is buying the Euro 2 years ago.

The point is this: A home run ball might not always travel at 80 miles an hour.

I average about 5 trades a day. The G/J ad A/u are the ones I follow very closely and feel most comfortable with, but I do trade others if they have a good cornflower hourly setup along with a good technical setup. By that I mean a trendline or sup/ res break. I'll post a screenshot of my main page.
