Hi Lever nice to see you here again.

I just want to ask you on how do you manage your trade if you are aiming for higher pips?. It seems that for 20pips as per the original strategy. a classic cf set-up will hit it almost effortlessly .
Judging from your journal, it seems you're doing an excellent job of managing trades. It just takes patience and experience to know when to take a profit, as opposed to letting it run further. I still get tripped up sometimes myself. Letting your profits run is actually harder than cutting a losing trade. With a loser, you know the trade is over. But a winning trade can keep producing pips.

When I went about developing Cornflower, my goal was exactly this: how can I get 20 pips with relative ease? Most of the time, the system will give you those pips if you follow the rules. Of course, the market may retrace and generally yank your chain before it hits that target, which is why we have to be patient and also not over-leverage ourselves. Too often we get scared out of trades that are viable because of short-term market gyrations (what I call "spaz"). If we're trading from the 1H, we need to give a trade a few hours to properly develop, and abide by our stop. And then we move that stop in the direction of our trade if it works out. Again, it takes some guts to do this. Only with hard screen time can one get a sense for the mood of the market, and then act accordingly.

Good luck to you on that one. Something about it looks strange to me. Hell, all my charts look strange today.

One thing I did, I know that this is a rule breaker-is put a gann hilo activator on the 4hr chart. I set the lookback to 3. The gann line is buy only above, sell only below. It acts as a filter and can help you weed out some bad trades.

hi calderone, i entered this trade on close of the hourly candle going into the last hour of london close. i was at one time 12pips negative, about 8 pips to my stoploss. however now the position has improved to some extent. i wont move my sl or tp, sticking to the original rule. btw, can you post your gann hilo indicator...thanks

the problem with echf is that when EU and UC moves, it involves in a tug-of-war thus it stays. but as the saying goes, the trend is your friend and as signifies by cornflower the hourly trend is down. on that count, i am going to switch off now as it is past midnite here in my place. hopefully when i wake up in the morning, EC will go my way otherwise i will be stopped at my stoploss level ...hope the best expect the worse ..

I got the gann hilo activator from the auslanco thread here:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...00#post1541200

click on the paperclip and then hide the images.

when you edit it-remember to make it visual on 4hr only (so it won't get in the way) also set it to lookback 3

I hope you take profit and I hope this filter helps you select good trades. I learned about it when I did a websearch on cornflower.

i wake up to find that echf does not move at all, so i just close the position for just a 2 pips profit ...at least better than a loss

It was a horrible trading session. Good for you-I was concerned. My 4hr said it was a no trade.
