Oups.. I'm sorry i forgot about this.. It was inadvertantly. I just wished comment is constructive.

Quoting Chandra
I see two inadvertent mistakes here. (i) Kevin's decision NOT to discuss the basics is violated inadvertently (as I did it several times inadvertantly). Mentioning it triggers quiries and requests and that is what Kevin requested us not to do, (ii) Kevin clearly said he is sitting on fence YESTERDAY. Yes, the price was still sitting on fence YESTEDAY. His observations seems to me as further refinement of basic approach. I may not be talking clearly but it is for obvious reasons. Your LRC may be another/alternative refinement of basic approach. Speed Line refines things, it is not hurting or contradicting.

Chandra,

Great Post! Thanks for sharing that with us.


It looks as though GBP/USD has yet again failed to break support speed line on the 3 hour chart with a close below it. If or once this does happen, I will take a short. Still don't believe in speed lines?

GBP/USD has formed a potential head & shoulders pattern on a 60-minute chart. Of course, it's only potential unless it actually plays out. If it does, though, it would lend support to a Short trade.

In the meantime, though, Kevin's *%$@ speed lines continue to hold.

I am just attaching a chart with fib Fan on AUDUSD. I am trying to confirm I am drwaing the fan correctly. Please comment.
Also, Kevin said in his pdf on Speed Lines (thse lines are called Speed Resistance Lines so, let us call them SRL indicator), Kevin said, SRL is more accurate than Fib Fan. I am showing Fib Fan because I don't know where to find SRL.
ANyhow, please comment on the chaart ttached. (I hope I can attach the chart).
Thanks.

Alright, I am now short GBP/USD. It has officially crossed my speed line. This late entry has cost me merely 18 pips, and I'm not too concerned about 18 pips.

First of all, liquidated GBP/USD Long for a slight loss.

Liquidate Long GBP/USD @1.9600 = -17.5 pips or -.18%


Short GBP/USD @ 1.9609
S/L = 1.9752
T/P = 1.9459

Since 3/8/07:
Total Pips: 152.1
Total % Gain/Loss = 7.31%

Too many people trading fibs on different timeframes equals a lot of noise on the charts. Fibs are over-rated.
They mostly work because everyone use them...

So... I was thinking... I have my long term system all figured out, but what about when I WANT to trade all day?

Well, the truth is I've been thinking about this for weeks now, trying to come up with relatively simple ways of making this happen. Ultimately, I was able to come up with something reasonably successful. What I really like about it is the reward to risk ratio, that appears to be anywhere between 2:1 and 6:1. I haven't had time to back test yet, but from the looks of it, it would at least win more than 50%.

Short-term trading is a new thing for me. I dipped my toes in it a while back when I first started, but gave up as nothing really suited me.

Anyway, the pairs I will concentrate on for my intraday trades will be EUR/JPY, USD/CHF, and EUR/USD. And for those of you that are curious about my new method, it involves an indicator you may know very well called "Awesome Oscillator" . It seems to be appropriately named.

Best of luck,

Kevin

PS. Speaking of my new method, I have entered a trade using it. I think there is a certain probability it will lose due to the potential double top forming on EUR/USD. Regardless, I am eager to try my new method.

INTRADAY
Long EUR/USD @ 1.3274
S/L = 1.3265
T/P = ?!

Usually these news have lasting effects.. Correct me if i'm wrong: So housing digits is weak, interest forecast are view flat or even going down in the US. 9700 is testing.. To me the cable would then continue zig zag it's way upper and challenge historicals high very soon.

Kevin,

I have been very interested in the Awesome Oscillator. It picks tops and bottoms very nicely. Look at the, what I call, bowtie pattern it creates all the time. It really is pretty consistent. The problem is a bar of opposite color will print and provide a false signal.

Hey Mike,

I'd be very interested in anything you can share about Awesome Oscillator. I haven't heard of this "bowtie" pattern. Also, what settings do you use?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

Kevin,

I will try to attach a chart image that shows the pattern that you will see over and over again with Awesome Oscillator. If I could figure a way to filter the occasional errant opposite color bar with it I would be happy. Right now I use it with a moving average. When Awesome gets into its pattern once price closes past the MA I enter and let the pattern complete. With MT4 there are no settings with the indicator, it just comes standard. I have seen different versions of it with other broker charts so yours may look different.

Hey Mike,

Thanks for your reply. I'm a little unsure of Awesome Oscillator as it stands. You're right, it does make a lot of false breakouts. I'm rethinking my system here(EUR/USD trade lost).

Thanks again,

Kevin

Also, I have entered a new trade.

Long GBP/JPY @ 232.82
S/L = 230.00
T/P = N/A

GBP/USD went against me today, but doesn't seem to be too concerning due to the strong resistance 1.9720.

Here are my trades as of now:

Hey guys,

I was feeling nice tonight, and am going to post my new method. Take a look over it. I'm posting it here because I don't really want all the scrutiny in the Trading Systems area. Besides, anyone who takes the time to read my journal (I'm sure it's painful) deserves a little something.

Let me know what your thoughts are on it, and also, if someone wants to backtest, that would be cool... Unfortunately Oanda only keeps about 20 hours worth of data on the 15 minute charts.

Enjoy,

Kevin

Kevin, my man, just when do you sleep?

As always, thanks for sharing your latest brainstorm. I'll take it out for a test drive.

Kevin,

When are you going to know what you are going to do with your method that you have stopped talking about.

Trying to respect your request...also where does that leave those of us that are trading it/trying it?

Thanks for your time.

Hey BearPaw,

I have an issue with selling anything that isn't proven to work, so I wouldn't expect much out of me for at least 6 months. This includes creating a fund company, signals, subscription; the whole nine yards. If you are trading the older version of my method, it's by no means not profitable. So, use it to your advantage; I have just found a way of enhancing it significantly. Someone once called it "BB on steroids", and I'm not sure about that, but I just want to be sure of it before I can confidently offer anyone anything.

I'm sure you can understand that I want to enter the forex business with credibility.

Regards,

Kevin

For those of us on MT4 where there are no Input Values for the Awesome Oscillator, I've taken the liberty to modify the Original AO, for adding in Inputs.

As you can see in the example Pic (ao.gif), the original AO and the AOwInputs set to the same values are the same. So it works as it should.

In the other example Pic (ao1.gif), you can see it it set as per Kevin's directions.

Enjoy!
