ColMustard dope sheet

Hey there. I am colmustard and i call this my dope sheet method. It is based off of what I have learned while studying the foreign exchange market. It is supposed to be a comprehensive working guide to help my mind grasp the situation and make clear and smart trades. Im sure it will help you out too. On FF, the ideas created through discussion are extremely insightful and helpful, but are often read at different times as they are scattered here and there. This strategy works in any market condition, not just a few. There also wont be any indicators or anything, just what I am about to write out.


I would appreciate, so very much, any discussion. I am a college student, and my favorite class is dorm life. Students minds banging against each other constantly produce the best ideas.

I have this written out in a worksheet, like I would get from a teacher. So write it out similarly or however you want to, and refer to it when you are in front of your charts.

This strategy has helped me to have a clear head while I am trading so I dont have the same thought twice. I have mostly everything written in front of me and I can focus on the action in front of me. I hope it will do the same for you and I think if you do what I have done it will only help in your trading skills.

I do not usually trade with any indicators, but I know that some of you like to. Making a dope sheet can also help you to identify the market to see what strategy you should be looking to use at the time, if they work better in certain situations

PS- the document attached is kinda a rough draft of what it would really look like. mine personally is handwritten with a lot of notes, questions to ask myself, etc.

I hope this strategy for trading helps you out a whole bunch

I just realized that I might have created the most boring thread on FF

WELL
I had one of the best wednesday nights Ive had in a while so far.
I had been trading the EUR/USD and GBP/USD the past few days, and its been too easy

specifically, the eur/usd. it was textbook

tonight, following my steps:
1, identify: was the market in a trend or a range?
short term trend, bull. So what should I be aware of? trendlines, S/R. Got 'em on chart. What PA should I look for? triangles, inside bars. oh gee, look, a H4 IB

2. Enter market: because of the inside bar, how should I enter? long, upon the break of the bars high. trade entered, SL set on the low of the IB

3. exit market: letting profit run. its about +150 pips. trailing stop of 40...pretty happy with myself

But isn't successful trading supposed to be boring?

Hey Mustard, I've saved your dope sheet because it matches closely how I trade the H4 TF. Elements of J16 and Jacko are good. This is a nice way to help systematize a style of trading that's entirely discretionary in nature.

Thanks, Col. Maybe you'll get that promotion to brigadier soon.
