Then my 4th trade on the EY - what I thought was a TC being formed. 10pips profit from it at the end.

I've decided to to do this trade on cable in series of 4 pictures to show people how a classic trade (ascending triangle) develops. It is always nice to see pictures of trades but I think I need to post one to see how it develops. I hope it helps.

Part 1 & 2.

Hi Dalh

No problem, I'll see if I can get an example while we are live on Skype and we can go through it. Like I am doing with the other setups on Skype as well - explain what I am looking for while a setup is developing. If the trade is not too quick - like the 20sec trade for 10pips today:

[04:37:22 PM] Willem Kruger says: Entry was on the opening of three candles ago right on the 10 - perfect. More than enough pips to the previous high which is right on the big number
[04:39:49 PM] Willem Kruger says: 20 sec for 10pips on EUR
[04:40:14 PM] Willem Kruger says: Bounce off the S1 with higher lows
[04:41:29 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - lets see for a pullback back to the M2 line @ 5604
[04:42:34 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - I am sure there is enough momentum to take it to pivot line @ 5636
[04:55:00 PM] Willem Kruger says: Eur - and there we have the bounce
[05:05:00 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - as expected, bounce off the daily pivot
[05:05:29 PM] Willem Kruger says: Isn't this a beautiful system of what?
[05:06:19 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - ?next bounce of the 10 to break the daily pivot level?
[05:12:05 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - in line for bearish 3 formation
[05:12:26 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - waiting for 10 to catch up with price
[05:13:40 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - missed it
[05:21:30 PM] Willem Kruger says: EUR - now for a pullback to the pivot line
[05:34:52 PM] Willem Kruger says: EY - lets see if she can recover and give us a bounce or two

....DONE!...

Now to review all my notes...

Golfer: I see that in some of your more recent charts you have 4 moving averages plotted, can you fill us in on the 4th one?

Also, your logic on seeing a 4 to 5 pip profit on the 5min as being the same as a 25 pip profit on the 4hr should be everyone's mantra here. The smaller your timeframe the smaller your pip target.

I'm looking forward to using this as a stand alone 5min method and in conjunction with the 4hr method. When the 4hr is rangebound and narrowing that down to the 1hr and possibly using the 5min for entries on the 1hr s/r areas (during the range) can be a great addition. Also, when the 4hr is running on the 8, using the 5min for those areas. I realize that the 4hr moves too much to use the 5min for entries, it's the specific areas of the 4hr method that the 5min method could be used to zero in on. Not catch the turn of the 4hr area, but as usual, let it develop first and use the 5min to 'ride along'...

Looking forward to this....

Just started following the thread and have read the first 40 pages.

I can't seem to find where some of you decided to add the MACD and how you are using it with this strategy.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have a short question. Is the clean system from post #1 still accurate and up to date? Quite frankly I'm too lazy to read all the 3400 comments of the thread...
  • #3,416
  • Apr 4, 2008 3:40am Apr 4, 2008 3:40am
In general, yes. But I use a wider stop of 30 pips.

Check out page 156 & 206 for Golfer's rules.

Hi Palmer

The suggestion to add the 34 EMA came from Phillip. I used it for two reasons as suggested by Phillip:

1. The EY tends to bounce off it more regularly

2. You can see how nice the MAs are spreading out if a small trend is starting to form

NFP: Nonfarm Employment Change news at 08:30

These kind of news days (always on friday) are very unpredictable. There might be possible trades but I stay out. Will be back on monday.

BTW: I use only the 3 moving averages not the MT4 indicator stuff nor the MACD. It's too much for me.
