Hi Custos,
I agree ... this thread has slowed down quite a bit ...some of the regular contributors are missing as well ... i think its cyclical ...NM appears to be busy with his projects ...I havent been able to place a single trade in the last month or more, as i am stuck in my personal and office challenges... but i am very keen to start contributing again asap (i am reading the posts quite regularly) ...this gives a sense of connection with other traders otherwise i would feel bored.
I was wondering if you trade any other market than FX? Also can you share your experience on transition from full time job to become a full timetrader? I am finding it very challenging to moniotor & execute trades with full time job and family matters? How long it took you to start full time trading? how did you manage it.?

Thanks in advance

HI guys,
I see the thread has slowed down some, I have been buried in some of these projects, but hopefully soon I can get back out here regularly. I still have been trading when I get an opportunity.

Ok here is a recap of the entry position:

1) Spot a vali d trend as per the rules.
2) Find the level of strongest Confluence support/resistance where a new swing may spring from.
3) Wait for a retrace to that level.
4) Zoom into shorter time frames.
5)[color=black] Read what price does at that...
I have been reading through your strategy, very good writeup indeed.
what do you mean by "Confluence" in this line:
2) Find the level of strongest Confluence support/resistance where a new swing may spring from.

hm, it is kind of getting going. You just have to read some market signs. Weekly, definitely down. Daily is up, h4 down, h1 down.
Now three times down against one side up is pretty down in my opinion. Of course we can't be sure until the daily is also down biased. But I am already betting a bit of money on a downtrend continuation. Let's see if it pays off or not.

that is the eur/jpy we talk about here
OK, but keep in mind that this EUR / JPY trend is not well defined, the week has been in range and it seems that the BPC is doing to continue to fall, what I mean is that there is a clear entry as required by this method of business.

excuse my English
regards.

for trading I am basically only in fx. Gives the highest leverage and the best ROI. Yeah, it was kind of difficult with a full time job. I was lucky that I could also trade at work (when nobody was looking). Anyways, I would wake up half an hour earlier and look for potential setups and cancel all the other charts. Now maybe on one day there are maybe 3 to 5 pairs triggering according to hector's method. So monitoring has not been as challenging.

But, I would recommend either doing that as described above or find a trend and enter on retraces near S/R levels. With that strategy you can just go over your charts in the morning and then set limit orders, which are to be triggered during the day. Then you just have to commit half an hour during the day to punch the limit orders in. And don't have to monitor the trades the whole day long.

hope that helps
cheers

confluence means that you are looking for more than one S/R factor.
You want to have a trendline nearby, a horizontal S/R level, a round number, maybe a counter trendline, a fib number and so on. This is called confluence if more than one factor is making price bounce again.

Guys,

having had an "out of trade office" week mostly, I took 2 trades on limit orders:

yesterday: EUR/USD sell @ 1.3425 +25 @1% stake, SL 25 - breaking below prev day low down to RN level

today: EUR/USD sell @ 1.3370 +35 @1% stake, SL 35 - breaking below asian low down to S/R level

Personally I like to be on the side of the higher TF's bias...

From next week the focus will be back on trading during UK / US sessions. Fortunately both worked out.

Trade safe and keep 'em pips green...

well, this is a thread concerning trend trading, not only the system originally posted.
I actually discussed my system in one of the recent posts, so just search the thread, you will find how I trade.

Morning all,

interesting some pairs : EU, EA, EC, AC, UC, CJ, CC, UC, AJ all seems ready to move on from recent S/R levels breaking into new territory for 2010... lets see if retests of these bottoms/tops will mature into favorable trends next week...

Safe trading

yes we know they have been on the move the last week, but they can be breaking into new territory - doing new S/R's i.e. AC just broke the 9195 level forming a new low for 2010...

EDIT: no you never miss them, that is my job : but one day I am going to hit them the way you do, one day, dreams do come true... working on it... ROFL
