kedridder,

Normally I hate it if in a new thread people start modifying the original template immediately, but this is just what I thought might keep it simple and enable me to switch to 15min or 4h without 1000 new lines and indicators having to readjust.

Lawgirl`s Trenddisplay has just proven to be a great momentum indicator - we all know that sometimes we have classic candlestick or price action formations like engulfing bars, pinbars, hammers etc., expect a follow through,.... only seeing that there is less strength behind the move...
Yes just about to edit my post , with this sentiment, don't wander too far from the original

All feedback is very much appreciated.....

Any comments for improvement would never go amiss.

The Forex is a beast that will never be tamed, but if ideas can come together and give an edge and put probability on our side then there will be alot of happy faces.

Have a good weekend all.

You too ronnie, thank you !

The great thing about the 1h is that the whole world is seeing the same candles and charts,... and everyone can then decide if they want to switch to 15min or higher timeframes.

I am very much low risk......

BTW : usdcad @ almost never before seen lows. It is NOT the time of day I want to trade, just pointing to the really extraordinary lows in usdcad, usdchf and usdjpy.

Cheers & till next week,

Here is a thread that was the origin of the "Black Dog" that I believe then evolved into the current commercial system. Some of you smarties may be able to glean an insight or two.

Thank you fxhermit, very interesting. Actually I bought the commercial system about 2 years ago. However, although the system was somehow safe and low-risk, I had late entries. I was too focused on the arrows and then noticed that I had better entries if I follow price action and keep mindful of stop-hunt levels. But to each his/her own.

BTW : do you know if Bluemental is still present somewhere ? I enjoyed your posts at the BigMac thread very much - your knowledge about Pitchforks, Swing trading and combining multiple timeframes was very helpful and educational.



Cheers,

OK I've been thinking about possible improvements - discussions of which have been welcomed by the thread starter - I feel that the MM/Trade Management of this system could be improved upon to enhance profitability.

I have taken an un-scientific look back at a few charts this w'end, my suggestions for discussion would include the following:

1) a 50-60 pip SL and
2) tiered TP levels

2.1) 25% TP at 50 pips and move stop to BE/Entry
2.2) 25% TP at 75 pips
2.3) 25% TP at 100 pips
2.4) 25% TP at full candle close above or below 15EMA, in the opposite direction

Maybe something to think about

Good thinking Stricky, perhaps the S/L and TP's could be made dynamic in nature so that market range is taken into consideration. TEB63 has an absolutely great thread on this at:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=106165

Would suit this strategy quite well, I think.

Let's include the obvious add on entry (isn't hindsight just wonderful ). I'm such a darn lazy trader and this approach is almost a no brainer, that's why I like it. Besides, simple always works best.

Yes, price always comes first, after all it's the beast us fleas are attempting to ride. However, as fleas we have the ability of being nimble and thereby hopefully taking advantage of the lumbering beast . O.K. so much for the silly analogy.

Yeah, the BIGMAC thread kind of died out, regardless, the basic principles apply to any trading approach. Glad you enjoyed it while it lasted.

Lines in the sand are red so could this be the next scenario? Like in the movies, you'll have to stay to the end to find out.

Hi Stricky,

Liking the sound of your suggestions.

The number of times I've seen a trade go 80+ then finish BE, it's criminal not to reap some of the benefits.

Automating this MM would be even better.

Having unlimited screentime would also help........... Pity the day job sometimes gets in the way, damn work.

I'm liking the way this thread is going.
