Hi guys,

Am I the only one trading this system ???

Would like to see others making pips.

Here is another trade ..........See chart

Mfinab,
I've been trading this system on the 4hr charts for about 2 weeks now, and am doing well. I'm using a demo account until I become completely comfortable with trading this system. So far I have had my inital stop hit only twice, and my account is up 40% since starting. I've been using 5:1 leverage per trade. Needless to say, I am happy so far.

Lately I've had a couple trades wherein I moved my stop-loss to break even quickly only to be stopped out and missing a big advance. The latest was today's GBPUSD on one hour chart as seen below.

I know it might be frowned upon to not get to break even quickly, but sometimes it can be too quickly. I'll be using a different plan as to when I'll move the stop loss to breakeven.

I tried this on demo for 2 weeks, resulting good. Then I tried on my real account for 4 weeks, and unfortunately lose some money in total. I guess my luck is simply not here.

That loss gives me more clarity about what I want from a trading system. If not for that loss perhaps I won't invent my unique trading system that I feel more comfortable with.

So this Simon system actually has value for me. Thanks Simon.

Isaac,
Sorry to hear you did not make profit. I have been trading any currency pair that I think shows a good signal on the 4hr charts. Were you using the 4hr charts or were you using shorter time frames? I read on this thread that people are finding the larger time frames have more reliable signals. Good luck in finding what works for you!

Balance line and 50ema are both flat...do not take this trade. Must wait for breakout and then some sort of retracement, either via price action or time

Hi Klaxon,

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one from Quebec

I agree that EUR GBP is too flat. I'm not gonna take this trade.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Currently, I have EUR CHF 1H triggered at 1.1549 at -30 pips right now.

A news comes out right after the order.
Here is the news GREEK FIN MIN SAYS THERE IS NO DANGER OF BANKRUPTCY OR OTHER SUCH THREAT

Let's see,

BTW thank you guys sharing your thoughts on this system.

Just want to remind you guys that you really need

1. first to check out if there is news coming ....
2. if the Blue Balance Line or 50ema is flat dont take the trade
3. never risk more than 1% of you account per trade (well you could go little higher if you are very confident on the system)
4. 1H and 4H time frame is the key.
5. Dont jump on a trade only to say I have a trade, be disciplined.

It's only my advises,

Hope Titch or Colostarr will agree with what I'm saying....

I just want anybody making pips too!

Mfinab,

Hi!

New signal to go long on that same pair. Also it's breaking 1H trend so I took long signal.... let see. Risk 1% of my account again.
I must carefull it is under the 50ema.

My average stop loss is probably 50-100 pips. Make sure you trade an appropriate number of lots so you don't risk too much of your account balance. I trade almost all of the pairs. I enter trades from 8:00am EST to 8:00pm EST. I use an EA to manage my trades so I only need to look at my account about 4 times a day.
