Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

As of today the account is sitting at $665 up from yesterdays total of $650. I have one remaining order in the GBPUSD, and the stop is at break even. So I am letting that position run. Either I will make 300 points or it will fail and cost me nothing.

The % increase so today is a little over 2% with one order running. A couple of people asked why am I trading for $0.10 per point? Well, the reason is that to get the account off the ground is really the hardest part. Its like flying the closer you are to the ground the more chance you will crash. Typically, at the start, I try to trade 0.2o per point, as soon as the order offers 50 pips I close on half. Then I look to run the remaining position. A typical stop is 50 points, so 0.20 X 50 is $10, this is about 1.5% of my account that I risk on a single trade. I could go to 3%, but I like the way things are going and I like to keep risk as small as possible.

Once the account is at $1000 I will up my risk to 2% on each trade, so then I will be trading $0.40 per point.

All the best

I was looking for a ABCD pattern for entry into the eurusd. If the bottom is in then my stop goes on the last low at 1.26035, risking 30 points at 0.30 cent per point, total risk $9 which is about 2%. If this runs then I will try to establish another position once this position is in profit.

Hi Fxsignal,

I am really impressed. I like your style of trading, no crazy risk and well thought out trades. whether they work or not, the intent is good.

I am going along with you on the eurusd trade stop at 2600.
No target yet.

But Gann said to keep close stops and as soon as this trade moves into a decent positive, we'll trail the stops.
Never let a winning trade turn into a loser.

Also, lets apply one of Ganns ideas, its called balancing time, Gann was a very able trader and to my mind a scientist that approached the market with a systematic system. One of his methods was to look at time overbalancing.

Simply measure a previous swing from top to bottom, top to top or bottom to bottom, then project it from the last high or low made.
Very good with Gann's balanced/overbalanced time. I find it interesting that Gann would describe that phenom. and then veil how to correct for it. He also said that time-price are one and when time and price square, change is inevitable. So therefore price is the counter weight when time appears to be overbalanced. In essence, it's only overbalanced if you only consider time. But once you factor in price, it's perfectly balanced. I'll let you stew on that for a bit and then I'll post a couple of charts on how to balance it on the chart.

A buddy of mine trades for a hedge fund in NY. He uses astro quite a bit although he keeps it pretty much on the down-low that he does.

Another buddy of mine was a hard core astrology guy way before he ever got into trading. Once he heard of the concept of applying astro as a technical indicator, he started killing it and he's been killing it for about 30 years. The last 10 or so in forex exclusively.

Neither of these guys are public or wish to be so.

i've been thinking ... could the planetary cycles be a proxy for the moving averages cross over .... ?

that leads me to this :

let's say we take one currency pair ... and use one distant slow moving planet (Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto , Uranus ) and correlate the aspects (0, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 etc degrees) with the faster spinning planets (moon, sun,mars, mercury , venus ) and see which two planets give very close correlation to the swings in the price .

eg :

USDJPY -- Jupiter vs Moon , Jupiter vs Sun, Jupiter vs Venus etc at various degrees

USDJPY -- Saturn vs Moon, Saturn vs Sun , Saturn vs Venus etc similarly

can someone who is still experimenting with this topic look into this from this angle .... something like what Ilovepippin had done with the Dow charts earlier with venus - uranus aspects , by process of elimination we could narrow down to a few planets cyclic effects ....

( i chose USDJPY because of self interest ... * wink )

Having been stopped out on my euro trade I decided to look at the charts again. I think that the EURUSD will not recover until somewhere in the first week of august 2010. It could be forming a big ABCD pattern. I was hoping for a rally today, but having looked at it again I think that this will just be a corrective move up, not a significant 2000 pip humdinger.

I post the chart here for you all to see.

I just want to put a couple of people right on what we are doing here. I don't use astro analysis in a subjective way. If it indicates a turn I sit up and take notice. I do not trade on astro analysis in isolation.

There is nothing mystical about it for me, its all about angular relationships, basic trig relationships. If the moon can cause tides, and the sun seasons, why would it be strange to suppose human emotion might be influenced by a massive electromagnetic field and certainly the planets do have the ability to do this.

Yip. Influences of the magnetic fields and ionosphere.
Purely scientific.

In August Venus will move into another zodiac sign.
From Saturday to Sunday Aug 7/8, Venus will move from Virgo to Libra.
Gann said to watch for these things to determine a change of trend.

My thought on Delta Phenomenon, cycles, etc is that it is a secret between all banks, and they trade it to be in sync with each other. In other words, no magical or gravitational influence on people's emotions, but simply a universally agreed upon code.

The GBPUSD is in a simiar position.

My reasons for entering this trade are

1. Divergence on the daily stocs
2. .707 hit on the daily with a very nice reversal candle
3. Indication that the corrective wave pattern is complete

Today, we have a bit of solar shielding occuring due to the position of the moon. This is usually a signal for some sort of reversal, once the moon has moved about 10 degrees out.

Mercury, also was blocking the suns energy and this unblocking often results in a short tern change in trend.

My method of trading using...
interesting your approach, i am looking with detail your charts.

i agree, if any system is good we must be able to begin with a small account, with good MM it will growing consistently and idealy its could be the first step to scale to major investments.

i have seen some realy good astrotraders in other places (closed groups of trading with sacred geometry) but no way that people wish to be near to publicly know, sure we can understand why.

i dont know
if a system works who cares what people could to think about it?

I think they are not much publicly know for other reason, if they are profitable why to share their secrets anymore?

ps. i think James, the creator of this thread is one of them he just dissapear

it was a kind of wet powder in most of pairs (average 100 pips up), i agree but i dont believe such 2000 pips moves up, just short term change of trend. We are in a big declination market cycle phase.
I do not know, I mean if that is the bottom but may also it could be ranging before to make a breakout to any side. (.2600 in eurusd and .4800 in gbpusd are not taken out yet)
we can play ping pong trades in that case (.2600 to .2740 and .4800 to .5000)

will see!

i am sure none of astrotraders are just using astro stuff. Its a tool, a nice adding tool to our cyclic tech approach to the charts and markets because as I mentioned before, they are all finally interrelated with the natural geometry, Gann, Elliot, Astro cycles, Fibos, etc

I am using astro cycles often, i search cyclic patterns in charts to sustain my tech view of my trades. I dont have shame to say it

it works for me
