Actually i have one drawn on the Daily and we just bounced off it (resistence) there is also several key emas above price that is stopping me from going long...the 1h trend line says long though...

I am busy testing the following.
1. Adapt your profit taking strategy in order to stay in longer when u have big move days. (Maybe splitting order in 3 the 1st 2 orders take profit at tp1, and tp2 as per rules, move the sl on the 3rd part to BE and let it ride, until either it is stopped out or maybe the end of the week?
2. Stay out of the market after big move days.

interesting idea....

Weasy2k, Maq, hope that you can share your backtest result with us.

thank

There's also a break of a major trendline. Taking a short trade at this point will eventually be fine.

Hi all, I am having problems trading this strategy lately because of the timeframe. It has been more then 6 months of trading this strategy and it is effecting my real work, from now on I will be sleeping and getting my rest and will wake up early morning 2 hours before US opens and trade during the US session. I will find another strategy at my time zone, however I will follow the thread and I will follow this strategy because I am planning to use it when I go full time forex trader in 2-3 years. Good luck to all...

It is sad to see that you are not able to balance your work and this great strategy that you fine tuned for us.

We will go on trading it till you are back.

This morning would have been a total lost if I had followed this system blindly, I read some articles that kept me out of going long and actually going short twice (before FA and after) The first article is about determining the trend http://chartta.com/?p=86 the second article is about finding and drawing all the support and resistance levels.http://chartta.com/?p=98 as well as trading support and resistance http://chartta.com/?p=117 Hope this helps.

i actually profited long and short on GU that day Only took 20 pip on long but was one of those lucky days i guess.

Yesterday i went long again for a quick 20 pip trade.

Cant wait for larger trends begin again..

Glad to hear somebody made money, as the above trades I made was only on demo because I only read about it a couple of days ago and of course I had to try it out first, it's a bitch. I mean like you sit in front of the pc and you can't believe how easy it is to make so much money in such a short time and you think if only this was the real account.
