Zebulon Jumping System

Hi everybody !

I want to share this system which is derivated from my personal discretionary system.
So i had created simple rules to make it very easy to go.

First, sorry for my "frenchy" english, second, your ideas to improve this system and making it better are welcome.
Your backtest are welcome too.

This system is based on the waves. And we will try to catch them.

I only trade on EUR/JPY, because it is a very volatile pair.
There are lots of 40 pips waves for this pair, so we will try to catch 40 pips movements.

RULES :

TF = 15 min
For all the trades, you will have Take Profit = 40 pips, Stop Loss = -30 pips.
First entry : You wait for a candle breaking a trend line and you go.
If you are long :
- if your TP is hit ,you win 40 pips and you take another trade long.
- if your SL is hit, you loose 30 pips, and you take a trade short.

If You are short :
- if your TP is hit, you win 40 pips and you take another trade short.
- if your SL is hit, you loose 30 pips, and you take a trade long.

You are always in the market long or short, during the time you decide to trade.

Another thing, look at ZEBULON tree, you will see that the size of the trade is not always the same. You start with 2 lots and after it depends. Usually, there are 3 following trades.
After each pack of 3 trades (except pack "C" = 2 trades), your result will be :
A=200 pips
B= 60 pips
C= 50 pips
D= 20 pips
E= -50 pips
F= -50 pips
G= -120 pips

When Your pack is finished, you restart with 2 lots.
Very easy, isn't it ?

Why does it works ?
Because the trend is waves + waves
Because the range is waves - waves
Because the waves on EUR/JPY are about 50 pips
Because you will have more +40 than -30
Because ZEBULON tree increase the profit

Try it !

Good trades

Hi Zebulon,

Thanks for the system. How long have you been trading this and what sort of success have you had?

Jim

hi Jim

I 've been trading this system for a month and i had good results.
I didn't backtest it for a longer period, because you can start at any time you want. So the results will be different and will depends on the moment you trade.

Maybe if you test it all day long but you need a EA.

I 'm interested if some people can try this method even at differents moments, and tell us about it, so we can see how profitable it is.

The fact is that i earn my money actually with it.

Test result :

12/11 : +290 pips
12/12 : + 290 pips

Can someone make an EA for this system?

FX has been experiencing extreme volatility lately and this may be contributing to your recent success. If and when it returns to "normal", 40 pips may prove to be too much. You may want to look at some sort of ATR to set your TP and SL. Perhaps a 1 hour ATR would show the average swing on the 15 minuite. Just my 2 cents.

Jim

Thank you Jim,

You're right, the size of the TP and SL can be adapted when the market conditions will change. But i think the TP size is minimum 30 pips and SL size is minimum 20.
An EA could teach us the best parameters for the system.
I had indicators before, and i let them all in the bin.
But the idea is good to change parameters when volatility level changes.

Thanks for your interest and contribution

Hi Zebulon,

It isen't clear the entry point for long and short. Trendline break?
Can u show an example?

I agree that in ranging market TP and SL should be smaller, maybe half.

Hi Lubo

For my first entry, i'm waiting for a reversal movement. The best point is a lower low or a higher high.
So i draw a trend line and when a candle breaks this line, i go.

Last friday, in the morning, the trend was down untill 8:30 (french time).
At 8:45, the candle broke the trend line and close above it. It was a very good entry for a first long trade.

I think the stop must be -30 with actual conditions.
Maybe -20 in "normal" conditions but not less, it would be hit too many times by the "noise" of the market.

Hi,

Let 's have a look to know if the system give us some pips today.

When i wake up this morning, the market was this :

At this time for me, the best entry is to wait for a reversal movement cuting the trendline , so i place a pending order: sell at 122,35

If the price doesn't go down i would buy at 123.

My sell order was hit and we made 40 pips at 121,95. Result = 40x2lots = 80 pips

And i place immediatly a sell order with 1 lot at 121,95.
This order i stopped at 122,25 Result -30 pips. We are on the C branch of the tree.

I place a buy order at 122,25 with 2 lots.
TP hit at 122,65 result = 40 X 2 lots = 80 pips

I buy 1 lot at 122,65. The trade is on.

My TP was hit at 123,05 . result 40 pips

I buy 2 lots at 123,05 my SL hit at 122,75. Result -30 x 2lots = -60 pips that was the B branch of the tree

I sell 2 lots at 122,75 SL hit. result = -30X2= -60 pips

i buy 1 lot at 123,05 TP hit at 123,45. result 40 pips

I buy 1 lot at 123,45 TP hit at 123,85, result 40 pips, this was the D branch.

I buy 2 lots at 123,85 SL hit at 123, 55 result -60 pips

I sell 1 lot at 123,55 SL hit at 123,85 result -30 pips

I buy 1 lot at 123,85 SL hit at 123,55 result -30 pips ,this was the G branch.

I sell 2 lots at 123,55 SL hit at 123,85 result -60

I buy 1 lot at 123,85 the trade is still on

The TP was hit at 124,25 , result 40 pips.
