TraCop-1%
Manual Trading Strategy

TraCop-1% is a manual trading strategy and analyze multiple timeframes before making a market entry. This is one of the few systems that can trade really well during both: ranging and trending markets. It'll use the main rule: if the market is not trending, always treat it as a ranging market. TraCop-1% stays for "Trading System and Coping it around 1% of its account deposit origin per Day.
When used the Indicators as a setup condition and combined with additional confirmation tools of TraCop (multiple time frame analysis [MTFA]; further tools see under "Note", please) , your trades have a high probability of winning with relatively low risk.

Timeframes: 10 sec., 30 sec., M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, Daily, Weekly, Monthly

Currencies: All, Major & Minor Currencies

Enter with EMA9/20
EMA9 crosses EMA 20 and bar clothes upon the other side.

or/and
Enter with GANNHiLo
With a little higher risk and view always the next higher timeframe!
Bar clothes on the other side of GannHiLo or when the 1st whole candle is there (green candle /bullish/upside/northside of GannHiLo versus red candle/bearish/downside/southside of GannHiLo).
(e.g. with one half of deposits). (GANNHiLo shows entry and exit orders a few bars before the EMA9-EMA20 crossover).

or/and
Enter ATS
ATS means "advanced trading style". Advanced trading includes "Enter with GANNHiLo & "Enter with EMA9/20 by contrast of different timeframes (MTF-Multiple Time Frame, e.g. M1, M15, H4, Daily) at the same time with the same currency, might be in more cascading style as a function of money- and risc management.

Exit
- in the next EMA9/20 crossover
- or if the candle clothes on the other side of GannHiLo or EMA9 again
- or in a GannHiLo/EMA9 crossover
- or at a certain Pivot Point
- or at the next higher/lower EMA Line
- or in a more cognitive-psychological moment, e.g.when you'll decide "wins are enough!". I prefere this trading style! It gives me the feeling to be a free man and not a slave of my own hard rules and trading strategy.

Note
Use multiple time frames to analyse the market situation (MTFA - Multiple Time Frame Analysis). For some entries and exits look at EMA breakthrough, pivot points, fibonacci, restistance and support levels, too, divergence, pin bar/hammer. When indifferent candles on M5 stay out and wait or trade with 10 sec., 30 sec., perhaps M1. The Coping Style is in focus and my ideas are such of "there's much more to forex-life than what you see" and you can't controll most of them, but when you trade use controll concepts and you still have targets. You don't need all indicators listed above it's more to have an option for your own preferences. When I trade I like to think in controll concepts and it goes on when these Enters and Exits will follow a more systematical trading system like "TraCop-1%-Strategy". This system can used in a simple one, when you prefered the EMA 9/20 crossover or with GANNHiLo, last one with a little more of higher risc. "TraCop" is also a kiss one and allows the user to work out his Coping Style in close contact to the preferred indicators and the preferred time frame.

Can you make a clear example on a chart?

From the charts you posted i can't spot the setups...

Interesting system!

How long have you been using it and what's your results so far? Only this month with about 50% profit, or did you use it in the past too?
Also how much are you risking per trade and how many lots are you playing?

That would be 50% in 2 days!!!!
Anyhow, a more detailed chart that shows when the trade started and ended would be useful to understand the method.

Hi twamta


How long?... I use this one for several years with EMA's, Pivot Points and Fibonacci in multiple time frames analysis. I trade now over seven years.

50%?...Oh no, my target is only 1% per day, not more. Market had changed. two weeks ago there was a beautiful range bound market on H4, this week it was a bearish one further on daily chart and the bearish market trend hasn't changed the last two days and so there was getting more wins. If market would have been run in another direction positions had been hedged then.

Risc?...Risc ideas is a dependend variable of the wins. The wins was very much over 1% of deposits and so the trades was given with higher risc in close contact with M5, H4 and daily chart analysis, weekly too. ADX was very strong.

Lot?,...Lots are different, when e.g. M30 shows trend direction, I take cascading trades 0.5 Lot 1 Lot on 10 sec., 30 sec., M1 or M5 and close these at a rate of knots.

Compare the history file: <TraCop.1%, 2009 December 18, Report.pdf>, please.

Kindest regards

Hi chris_b

That's right.
Next week I will post several charts with entry points, at the minute when entering in the market.
I trade 10 sec., 30 sec., M1., M5., M30, H1, H4, Daily at the same time with the same currency in different directions, sometimes.
The report <TraCop-1%, 2009 December 18, Report.pdf> shows the time slots of the trades at a glance, perhaps it'll give you a synoptic view.

Kindest regards

Very well, the charts will follow next week!

Kindest regards

Hi Chris_B

This is one chart M1 you've seen further up at #1.

Label:
I = In (Entry - Short or Long)
O= Out (Exit)

O? = when you'd decide wins are enough.

Now look at M5 and M15, may be H1 for the global trend, when trading with M1.

The markers are well-placed when the bars crosses the GannHiLo (dotted line blue/white) and close on the opposite side.

The green upthrusting arrows and the red ones to go downhill are EMA9/20 crossovers for e.g. "Enter 2nd" (Long or Short) with the other half of money input.

Hope it helps!

Kindest regards

Label:
I = In (Entry - Short or Long)
O= Out (Exit)

O? = when you'd decide wins are enough.

Now look at Weekly, ma be Monthly for the global trend, when trading the Daily chart.

The markers are well-placed when the bars crosses the GannHiLo (dotted line blue/white) and close on the opposite side, in due consideration of the EMA55, which serve as a suppport line on daily charts ever so often (see P1, P3, P5, P7, P9).

When ADX becomes over 40 (on daily chart) it's a generic pointer for an even up the position.

The green upthrusting arrows and the red ones to go downhill are EMA9/20 crossovers for e.g. "Enter 2nd" (Long or Short) with the other half of money input.

If you trade daily charts let your wins run till the next EMA9/20 countercrossover (may be A1 till A4) and then A4 till ...?,... but now I would go out at EMA200 (P11), say trade A4 till P11and would change my chart on H1, H4 for ther next several days, even if market breaks the EMA 200 Line (on daily chart) or not.

I'd prefere following trades:
P1 (Enter Long, 1st), P5 (Enter Long again, 2nd), P6 (Exit 1st), P8 (Exit 2nd), P9 (Enter Long), P10 (Exit) and (Enter Short, 1st), A4 (Enter Short, 2nd), P11 (Exit 1st) and (Exit 2nd).

System permitting additional trades - beyond all of thematized daily trades - e.g. with 10 sec., 30 sec., M1, M5, M30, H1, if you'll prefere to trade on different time frames simultaneously.

FerexCube,

I have been mising you soooooo much man. where have you been all this while ?

[quote=maxwell-eqtn;3318071] Hi maxwell-eqtn

Nice to meet you maxwell-eqtn!

I'm very happy for your feedback.

Where I've been all this time? Oh, I have unfortunately give up the threat "EMA-4-MTF", just at the moment I entered the "Commercial Forum beta" Sub-Forum "under evaluation" in "Forexfactory", but than you hadn't have any rights to go return to this beautiful Forum "Trading System". So I couldn't give any answers more on my original threat. I have written to "Forexfactory" putting me away from the Sub-Forum but I haven't got any answers. Yesterday I've decided go further with "EMA-4-MTF" but in a more freestyle way and so under the title "TraCop-1%" with the nickname "Forexcube" and I hope "Forexfactory" allows this matter of doing. Now this threat will include one aspect more, say "Coping Styles in Forex Trading" whenever it is still uncertain and stars could be follows at the top on the right as a feedback for going on further more.

We'll manage all right!

Is that okay for you?

You're wellcome!

Forexcube

I fail to see any risk management here, all your entries are 1.00 lots and you give no clear indication on your entry and exit rules. While this is impressive I am sure everyone would like to have a clearer description of the rules you use to enter, where you place your stops and targets?

To make 50% in one day, either this is a joke, or the holy grail everyone has been searching for? If a system can make that much in one day it can lose more...

I personally can't believe you have been trading this for several years, if you had you would be one of the richest people on the planet. However, fair play to you for posting it so lets see how well it goes.

Cheers
Foggytrader

Hello Foggytrader

Sorry Foggytrader but I beg you to read my introduction,... and the headline say it too.

1% is my target. When I make 100.-$ a day it's okay with a 10'000.- $ Account, but when situations could be offered me making money more, why don't you allow me to do this?

You implies that the trades goes every day. Why do you do that?,... and than you go furthermore with your humble phrases and write on this respectful threat "I personally can't believe you have been trading this for several years, if you had...?" Sorry Foggytrader, but have I said this anywhere?

At least you reproach "I fail to see any risk management here, all your entries are 1.00 lots and you give no clear indication on your entry and exit rules". Are you realy incompetent reading history files? Do you not recognize the under 2% exit rules, there?

I like when you adopt a critical attitude, but not your guilty assumptions and untenable assertions.

Kindest regards

Sorry to come across so critical, perhaps a better explaination would have helped, I was simply going by what I have read so far and find it very dificult to understand how you are trading this system. And as I have quoted above, you did state you had traded this way for several years. Like I said, fair play to you, it looks like a good system so lets see more.

There was really no need to be so defensive, I was simply looking for a better explaination.

Cheers
Foggytrader

Aaaah, okay, now I see! So it's a great misconception.

At 17./18. December the trades have much lots on 10 sec., 30 sec., M1 charts and then after a profit was earned I switched on H1, H4 and daily and go Enter Short for several hours.

Kindest regards

Let's put it down to that, if this system is as good as you say it is and you are willing to share it then thumbs up to you. But I was simply saying what most people reading the thread would have been thinking and it is up to you to prove us wrong, it was just the 5K in one day thing. But honestly, if you can show everyone how this system works then great I am sure you will get many followers.

Good luck
