Hi all,

I seen my very good friend on this thread and i decided to see wot he is looking at, while scanning through, i discovered that its a good thread.

I have my trading method which is basically from 1hr-daily tf, but after reading the thread in 10 mins, i was just fortunate to spot a setup and i gave it a try, its working well, presently at +20pips, have moved stop to previous hi as i anticipate a bounce of TL

I think this will keep paying my breakfast coffee and snacks while i wait for my main signal.

Good work

Regarding your chart in post #119, I was planning on asking forexjedi about closing of trades anyway. Why not use the crossover of the stochastics as the signal to close, as many times it crosses before the MA's do? Looks to me like the crossover of the stochastics on this trade would have sealed a profit.

eagle,

I usually base my exit on price action and support and resistance.

Special note regarding todays charts on the Eur/Usd. I would like to attribute today unstable price action patters limiting trades on my system to the price rallies around the monthly support 3 at 1.2728. Theres a battle here between the market makers and high rollers. The first signal was the unstable price action that started right around 12am est. I like to stay away from the market around monthly supports because the market is extremely unstable and unpredictable for traders using the intraday charts. If you go draw a line at the monthly support 3 price of 1.2728 zoom out on your charts and look at the whoe weeks price action you can get a good idea of how the price acts around montly supports. I would like to add that caution should be used if the price is within 100 pips of any monthly support. On monday when the supports have changed there will be many pips to be made.

Good post, FJ. I don't use higher TF pivots (just daily ones), but I will be including them from next week, for sure.....anyone have a multi timeframe pivot indicator to hand?

Agree with you on GU today.

When deciding which signal to trade I'll check the 'wick landscape' on the chart first, i'll avoid non-trending, wick(ey) price action. Mindful though that a breakout into better conditions will follow. Therefore the strat is likely to work on all pairs/instruments (i trade this on DAX too), when the price action is clean.

Thanks for that

EU/AD was very funny today

Next week i am planning to try on otherpairs but managing more than one
pair in 5 minute chart will be difficult

An EA could be good

This system puts your nose on the market. Its good for a kind of quick hit and run style particularly .I used it with usd/jpy with success even before i saw yours. Keep on the research!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forexjedi thank you for your very interesting system. I have just 1 question. Do we trade on 5 min.chart just in direction of 15 min.chart? I mean if on the 15 min.chart we have downtrend then on the 5 min.chart we take only sell signals and ignore buy signals? Correct? Thank you,

Hi,

On ocassion I might check the 15min chart if the price action doesnt make sense on the 5min.

Hi FJ

Your rules seem to be very easy to follow. Nonetheless I have encountered nothing but losses today. Any suggestions why?

I might try longer timeframes, see what happens.

Thanks

If you took every trade since 12am est you would have lost exactly 12 pips right up to this moment. Two short trades. This is due to the bullish momentum from the MACD being on the top side of the 0 line. Technically it is counter trend to go short. None the less the losses combine to -12 pips. When a good signal come around you should make much more than that. If you want ill post a chart detailing my claims.
