I've been testing since late last night Roger. I don't think I've slept for more than 2 hours man...All I can say is wow. A LOT of the trades that I've taken that ended up as losses would have closed as gains. This is money Roger, I don't even think you understand lol

Damn man, Throughout the past day, I could have made 4 trades on G/U and all would have closed in a profit. Ridiculous. That's just on G/U too.

Roger, you may just well be taking me to the next level right now and I thank you for that my man! Ah, it's my b-day this weekend, but I think I'll be spending it on my computer running through trades....worth it a billion times over. Thanks again brother!

Hey Mike! There is mucho material on this from th Fibonacci Paradise thread and the original Skunny thread. The trades I am posting are mostly after the fact. I have not taken them all. I am saving the charts here on my journal for reference and printing. Read anything that you can get your eyeballs on by ThomKnight/Skunny/Bobokus/Eggster/Skong and MisterDaz. They are a fine group of folks. So much of this is still a bit obscure to me so be careful. Look both ways before you cross the street if you know what I mean. I am still a price action (loose term) trader and am looking at ways to get tells for best entry scenarios.

Certainly do not stop what you are doing which is awesome. As you can see from my posts, I have experimented with this in may ways and am trying to get a criteria put together for consistant wins. Best regards to you bro and happy birthday!

That's it too my man. I've actually already read through Skunny's thread multiple times so I'm not too uninformed on fibs, I just haven't put them into effect yet really. Bobokus is the man too, I've read through a lot of his fib based material. Your work is unique to the rest from what I've seen though, that's for sure. And yeah, I gotcha too brother; believe me, I do a ridiculous amount of testing before I ever put anything into use when my cash is on the line.

I'll definitely keep trading the 4 hour setups and 5 minute charts as well, but when I see something of value to add to it, then heck yeah, that's where it's at lol

I'm really liking the original work with the setups based off of just one bar too. I'm a bit off with the range setups, but I'm sure that with a ton of testing, I'll get it before too long. These one bar setups though....you hit the jackpot honestly. lol Most of the time, exits are lacking in a method of trading, but this incorporates the whole "shebang".

Welp, I'm back to the cave now to keep testing and checking out the up and coming 4 hour charts. And thanks Roger! I appreciate it brother!

That's it too my man....

I'm slightly lost as to some of the ways Roger is pulling fibs over ranges and how he is utilizing the different levels now. Maybe I need read up in those other threads for a while and get a deeper grasp.

I don't even know how I survived before without pulling the fibs over the previous ranges though (yearly, weekly, monthly). Absolutely incredible to spot PA in a double bottom on a monthly 0% line fib and then watch it bounce almost to the pip off the 50% monthly fib.

I used to be puzzled sometimes why price was stalling in areas, but now it's like, oh yeah..... fib there! lol!

this last week I had nothing form though on the 4hr charts - even during london session. I'm thinking NFP may have wrenched everything too tight. (although i'm sure Roger had about 15 trades open and in profit while I was sitting here seeing nothing)


The first week I ever put this method into action was my best live account trading week ever lol.

I'm thinking we'll have a lot more opportunity in the coming weeks.

I have been a long time lurker. I read around 50% of your thread up through your Oct 2008 to Jan. 2009.

Thanks for the great information and your insight into your trades.

I hope to become a full time trader as well, hopefully within the next two years.

Your thread helped provide inspiration for me to continue trying.

Truly thank you and I will visit your thread often till I finish reading everything till I understand it.

Hope you don't mind,
KK

Hi Mike W,

It seems that you are starting to combine your method with kiss method to define sl and tp. I was wondering if you could post the discovers you are making? I'm reviewing all the trades i took using your method combining with kiss method to see how it would have been.

Ty in advance.


Thanks Kiss for posting your method and teaching us!!

Nice Dan Gilbert! That is the ticket right there. The safest and quickest way IMHO to make money in forex. Don't look too far into the way I'm pulling fibs otherwise. It's all exploration on my part. Best to you.

Soon, I'll be posting some basic PA observations that I have been meaning to chart. Hopefully they will be a help to all. I missed out on all the big moves last night. More will come for certain though!

Trade from today. Basic J16 stuff. I did take some liberty with the pin though, and I use this set up to manage risk better. I like when an IB prints just after a nice pin at an obvious swing. It happens pretty often. I will use the break of the IB for my entry and the range plus a few pips for my stop. The extra few pips allow for an engulfing situation that will happen from time to time and did in this example. I took full profit at the first area of resistance (yellow check mark).

Three charts: The first illustrates how I use 1 bar (engulfing/pin/outsidebar) and fib for gaining profit. This has been discussed earlier in my journal starting with post #758 showing a basic one bar fibstrike set up. The next chart illustrates an opposing pinbar set up that I also have been using very successfully.

On this scenario, I will wait for two consecutive and opposing pins to print on any timeframe. When this happens, I will fib the range and apply the same strategy as I do with a single bar. I have only used opposing pins with no bars in between. Of course, your risk reward is directly proportional to your entry. Always wait for a break before even considering taking a position.

finally got some 4hr PA for continuation short patterns for GBPUSD and EURUSD at the london open.

GBPUSD 4 hr bearish pin closed for +1.5% (retraced the bar to 61.8, was able to put on a full position)

Currently short on the 4hr BEOB EURUSD Alpari feed. patiently waiting.

I love taking the 4 hr candles at the london open. The best time to search for small TF PA.

London has the highest volatility and the open is especially true.


I feel as though European traders put a lot of emphasis on the currency market, while the US traders focus on stocks.

The US market hours are generally a yawn fest for currency trading. There are exceptions, but for me, I'm looking at a 4hr chart around 1-2AM (my time) every night, and sleeping lightly in the cases when I put a trade on. My body has become accustomed.

I have caught the move down in euro today but would have had a better entry during London. I'll be adjusting my trading hrs accordingly.
