I use trend trading as well, with Demark trendline indicators, etc. This looks like a simple and effective trading method. Do you only trade the 1 hr T? More please!

Would you be willing to share your Retracement indicator with us?

the way to trade the trend is not with indicator crosses or any other kind of indicator to tell you there is a trend thats the best way to get whipped. Firstly a trend is defined as higher highs and higher lows for uptrend and lower lows lower highs for down so if you can see that then all thats needed once a trend has formed is to trade the pullbacks. i am not starting this thread to be an on going thing just tired of all the systems on here this is the frame work to making money. I trade the 5 min chart eurusd never look for more that 26 pips stop is always last nearest swing sometimes its the trigger bar this works on any pair any time frame any market period.

During the US lending crisis, I saw symmetric triangles all over the place on financial stocks, so many I had a theory they especially applied due to their speed of use (when more a flag and pole).
Looking forward to how you apply flags to currency pairs.
