hi, was that your second trade against trend by the rule? or something missing here ?
The last high ZZ dot(HH) broke the ZZ dot(HL) before that then made a LH so it showed price was making newer highs...in other words time to look for long positions.

How do we get the mods to put your thread back on the trading system instead of here. I believe your thread will help alot of new people who come to ff looking for a way to trade forex. I know it's been awhile since I have posted but I trade your system mostly off of the daily charts and I must say your system rocks.

Welcome to the thread ericjschroed! Im glad you took the time to read the whole thread, I know alot was filled with the same answers and questions over and over again feeling like you would never get to the end lol.

Im starting to think an EA for this system will never be made since most that have said they will help either just take the EA i have started and never reply back to my emails or after a few days of trying to code it to make it profitable they give up. Im happy trading it by hand, but due to the use of a "repainting indicator"...
Dredd,
Feel free to post those docs! This method as presented so far is plenty of fun to trade, I especially like hunting down opportunities on 1H TF and attacking them with razor sharp 5m entries using the FSA (risk on a 5m chart in exchange for reward on 1H or 4H chart = take it any time I can get it).

I like how the FSA sometimes sets me up to attack entries based on some other methods on FF that I find useful

and

but FSA rates as the most opportunistic in terms of exploiting market psychology to the trader's advantage.


good trading to all!

OK, so I've managed to get only through 78 pages so far...

If only people would start at page 1 and read maybe just 5 pages, this thread wouldn't be full of repeated requests and repeated answers that make it that much harder for us newcomers to get to the end of the thread!

I can believe that many trading newbies will get turned off by the requirement to read the thread, so they will go elsewhere. That's good news for the thread members, because those newbies will just go somewhere else and dump their $$ into our pockets LOL.

Update: eurusd stopped out at news for -1% and audusd got me 3%.. so overall I'm up 3% today. I'm calling it a day. I must admit when the first couple of trades go against me during the day I do stress out over it. I need to work on that. It is the part of this strategy that I need to overcome as opportunities do present themselves during the day to recover. Many thanks to Dredding and Paulus on this thread.[/quote]

Hey Balrog, you clearly state that you get stressed out when your initial trades of the day are losers. So why don't you just take a break for the rest of the day and relax somewhere away from trading? If you make more than 1 losing trade in a row, you are probably not in a good frame of mind. Don't worry, Dredding and the gang won't drain the pip pool while you're chillin'; there will be PLENTY of pips for you to take the next day!!!

Thanks for the advice DrDave.. it was suggested to me before to get out at -3% for the day but so far I have stuck with it. Just need to control my stress levels a bit more I suppose.

I'm now up 1% on the day after 2 good trades on the usdcad (see 5min chart). Brought me in 5% in total. Still in short on eurusd and audusd so might call it a day if they end % positive for me today.

Try to mentally put a handle on it your risking 1% per trade that gives you 100 failed trades..it will never happen.

All the time you risk 1% to get at least 1% and sometimes 2 3 4% you will make it..

I have been trading for 13 years.. it doesn't effect me in the slightest now but it did ..chart time and trading low risk will help you

Cheers Paulus.. it has gotten better over the last couple of months.. I used to look at my drawdown in a monetary fashion but now deal only in percentages which has helped. I finally think I am getting this but need to focus on my trading and drop the fear factor. I don't know why it gets me as the last few months have been psoitive, probably still a fear of failure. Jeez, hope this doesn't make me sound like some crackpot

BTW, welcome back.

Hi Paulus,

Any chance you could post a chart pointing out the GU trade you would have taken on Friday?
