Hi Saxon. After ur post was reading about black box algorithms and seems very interesting. Can u recommend a system or someone that uses black box algorithms?
The only Algorithms that I have been exposed to were at Goldman. I am aware that some small HFs and Cap Management firms use them, but not sure which specific ones use them. They are very expensive and costly to keep up. Also, they are one of the reasons we are in this sweet recession and the crash in 2008. I wouldnt reccomend using them or buying one from a vendor. If you want, you can create your own based on some simple trade variables of your own, but you would need a programmer to do it for you. I am sure you can find one in FF. I know Hayseed is amazing at that stuff.

I wish Saxon, calderone, Marc, Amy and the rest of ya'll the very best over the holidays (and beyond)

I hope you're all enjoying all the good food, the family, and the vacation.

I haven't posted much here on FF for a long time, and should make it as a new years promise to be more active here in 2011!

I've been working hard to save up for a small capital to get my track record started, I should be ready in a month or two.

Everything is good here, going to 'distance' school after new years as well. I'm taking a few classes, to use the 'free'...
Happy holidays to you as well. Wish you all the best with your ventures! I am also getting back into posting as well and hope to post more frequently now

I enjoyed that GBP/JPY pdf info.

How about daily highs and lows

daily open

Weekly/Monthly 38, 50 and 61 fibs

Weekly/Monthly pivots & S1 S2 S3, R1 R2 R3

Do they hold importance for the banks and hedge funds too ?

Thanks for the PM. I was really encouraged for my trading. I still have so much to learn.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

Ian

If 153.62 is taken out. Then the S1 on Monthly 152.62 is looking interesting as a target along with the fib fans 61.8 level you posted in GU pdf at 152.75.

We have another trend line break on the H4, it will be interesting to see if it holds or not.

Im new to drawing fibs. I hope to learn well the structure of how you have made the charts in the pdfs. I do not know if this EURUSD chart is correct so far or not. Anyways I will pick it up soon enough.

My new trading desk has arrived. Its cool. 180cm long, enough for my three monitors I think.

Im working on a 1Hr trend line break at key confluence levels with an M1 entry. It came up today on GBPUSD/EURUSD two or three times.

here are some indis off my charts

These have all been very helpful for finding areas of confluence.

the WSS is price under or over the 200 ema on different timeframes.

mouteki is demark trendlines.

the ATR levels I set to 5.

Happs is a masterpiece revealing the historical levels. Scroll back as far as you can on the chart on the monthly and put in the high and low for the pair. Also select none for the last three color selections in the indicator.

Happs Trading System is the thread. It has 8 pages.

I made a happs daily up with all the fibs too.


Happs combines price levels derived from the Historical Open, High, and Low, of a given pair, with phase levels derived from Fib ratios.

Happs is different from any other phase type system in the sense that it requires no new adjustments from the month to month. Its levels are static, unless a new historical high or low has been made in a pair. In this case, it would need to be recalculated.

Happs also combines concepts of Supply and Demand with S/R pivot trading into one system.

This is my only open trade.

I think it is the best one this week as I have entered on what Sam Seiden calls
a DROP BASED RALLY

HAPPS showed up a key area of confluence and I took the entry on the M15
where I have the red tick & entry label on the M15 chart.

Im holding this one up to the 1st fib fan on the daily if it goes there.

see how it goes. SL is just above break even now.

The blue 1hr trendline with the white trend line supporting underneath was also an important factor in taking this trade.

Also on the M1 I used TriangularMA centered abands from time frames M1 up to H4. They were very helpful to see the two extremes in price action.

Also notice the daily open line which is the white line about 15 pips up.

Is this not an imbalance of buyers and sellers here on H4 ?

with the way price has moved away from this area strongly with these 4 hr bars off the 4 hr trendline.

I am holding my au longs, price has reached decembers level but it should go higher in the new year. I don't have any charts with me so cannot be accurate but I see 1.04?? as the next target higher. From here there could be a reversal of 140-160 pips first though.

USDCAD just needs to break this trendline on daily at 1.0010.

I got in yesterday a little early at 0.9999, but I think it is set to go.

.....................................................

EURUSD. Im waiting for a quick touch of this trend line on daily at 1.3272 but its struggling to get there.

Weekly R2 is at 1.3257 which may work out as a good short entry too.

HI amyc,
Nice calls on the Aussie. well done.
As for me I made 140 points on the way down and moved my SL to secure 100 pips which was hit. I haven't traded for the past week or so, waiting for the volumes to get back to normal.

Don't be sorry. Often my channel lines suck but the point is still conveyed. My crayons are broken and all over the floor.

That is a cool picture you have there.

I was wondering if you were in the movies in your former life before forex. lol

been reading a few posts on your thread.

That daily trendline on EURUSD turned out to be a nice support line. -15 pips.

I missed the area of confluence by 45 pips.

USDCAD looks like its on holiday. Exited at break even for now and try again in the new year.

Saxon has it sorted . keep it simple stick to the majors.

I need to read the pdf another 10 times over.

EURUSD & GBPUSD both have had really nice moves off the daily 50 and 38 fibs in the last couple of days.
