Some folk are concentrating on the M5. Some are focussing on the H1. This is great! We can hopefully accommodate both the scalpers AND the swing traders.

Great. Now that we're all on the same page, I'll continue my 1 hour testing. I'll post the charts as I go and post the excel sheet at the end of next week.

Isn't that just a perfect example of this method?
Couldn't ask for a better trade.

The points mentioned previously about TP are very valid, because at the moment we are reliant on a "negative" event, our stoploss being hit, as the rule....
The only trouble with using this idea as a Tp is that it sometimes takes you back in too early and then it carries on going against you!!

I kept a looser stop (with a smaller position) on it and i'm still in. Trailing with the TM line now.

I'm also in a EURGBP.

Closed for 50.

A perfect Paulus set up after a short reverse in trend at the 5m.

Excellent

3 trades today

All in the 5 min TF.

USD/CAD +56
GBP/US +32
EU/US currently 100pips (still open) but 75 pips secured.

I tried using the strongest signals in the last few hours, waited for the pull backs before entering.

I am using support resistance areas for TP.

Best day so far using this system for me.

I am working out a plan to take between 50-100 pips daily. This has meant less trades for me but also less losses.

Now I can use what I know of PA more profitably with the system and indies developed by Paulos and Anne respectively.

Many thanks to you both.

The last 4 days half been just over break even ( I entered too many trades)

I guess the results on those days have been due to lack of discipline and patience (not due to the system)

Hopefully, I can begin to trade better.

I think with current market behaviour 150+ a day shouldn't be too hard to achieve.

By sticking rigid to the rules, waiting for the pull back and taking the entry there are plenty of trainig opportunities.

The problem for non full time traders is always going to be not being able to monitor the charts full time.

Is anyone only trading the hour time frame? If so how succesful is it being?

Its back to the issue of a sms ea which can alert the non full timers to a set up developing.

Well done on your 150 though Ezzy. I wasn't watching the CAD/USD. Will from now on. I can just about handle 6 pairs on the screen waiting for the signal. anymore than that and i think i will go blind

Ok,
Finished for the day 2% of my small live account banked.
Trades for the week starting last monday sticking to system as in post 414 as near as I could(did close one trade early, lack of discipline to follow
system).
Total trades for week spread over gbp/usd and euro/usd
26
17 wins
9 losers
Trading with small amounts of real bling bling(thanks edge) at 0.01 lots.
Things I need to get better at:
1 Pulling trigger when signal is right, am still getting in a bit late and hesitating.
2 Sitting on my hands and watching action go against me above/below tm line, having been in profit, but as Paulus says, rules is rules.

So overall a profitable week, hope everyone takes a deep breath over
weekend and we can all start afresh next week with the system as originally designed without all these distractions
Kind Regards
Geoff

Quoting MAD
Here is the update from this earlier trade.
TP was hit for 110 pips.
Hi MAD.
I was looking at your chart and from what I can see, your HGMTF indicator is set to 1hr, 30, 15, 5.

Is that what you're using as a trigger for your 1 hour trades?
If so, can you elaborate on how you decide when to enter?

I'm asking, because I would have expected it to be something like 1hr, 4hrs and 24hrs or something similar, with the trigger being the change of the 1hr to match one of the others...

Thanks
Full-time trader and loving it!

Ezzy,

What is your TP strategy? And what are you using for your SL?

When I am disciplined enough to enter on the pul back, my SL is ususally the previous horizontal line on the trend line.

My take profit is the next major support/resistance. However I keep moving my stop loss to above the previous horizontal line of the tren magic.
