I love doing this.

[indent]In the group i have a section called price predictions. I will share those here after a month or so.

Total predictions for june was 8 and all 8 were accomplished.

The question for you is can you do the same? Sure you can.

Total pips? I dont know you can go look and count them.

The purpose of the exercise is to make succesful calls.

This is about predicting price movement and building incredible confidence by demonstrating extremely high accuracy.

[b][u]If i can have an 80 plus percent hit rate on good set ups do you...
Wow, thanks James
believe me, it helps a lot!

WOW! This start to look interesting! So in the group peple can see trades before they happen? That one fact worth joining. Not because one could use those calls to trade (I don't think people are so lazy that don't even wish to make their OWN analysis) but to build confidence. If I see that someone can really "predict" price movement with the method I would really gain confidence in the method. And then all I need to do is just make myself to comply with the method. That's all.

Don't get me wrong but analysis of past price action of course is helpful to us newbies but is really not the same as these "prediction" charts you just showed, James. So if there is such thing in the group its awesome.

One question please. How come you have never told us that in the group there are setup calls BEFORE the trade is completed?

Hi all,

I understand that risk-reward doesn't really come into it when trading purely A-grade setups, and James has mentioned that he's quick to lock in 30-40 pips and move stop to BE in order to take some profit and protect capital. All good!

But... what happens when price moves far enough to trigger your entry and then reverses into draw-down? How far do you let it go against you, say if you're positioned with a 150-pip stop and you were originally targeting what you thought was a guaranteed 50-odd pips?

Thanks
JR
Be happy, be humble.

I look at your prediction charts James, and I think to myself on eveyone one - 'I was convinced it was going there too, but didn't take it because the FTA is so close'.

My concern would be that I wouldn't want to move to BE at these levels, as they're too close for risk of being stopped on a small retracement. And halving my position size at the levels wouldn't seem worth it, if I had an initial full bar stop. I sure wouldn't want to exit the trade if I think there's a possibility of it continuing onwards. Is there any general advice you could give on how you would approach this problem? I'm sure I've overlooked something in J16 post 1 here, I'll go back through and try and answer my question anyway..

But many thanks for the recent posts, it's strange how I can still learn something new 2 years down the line after following the same method. Trading really isn't much like anything I've ever studied before. Appreciate the charts.

Good point Adi, that's exactly how I feel about this.

Not necessarily a move back up,but a consolidation in that area.Look at the pin in top of consolidation with the mail trend.If I would have traded 4h,that pin bar with the trend ti would be even better for me.Just mine.

yes Sir, but, like u said, it is merely a suggestion, not a guarantee.
u still have to assess the overall situation (trend, traffic, etc)

just like in a road intersection.
when the light is green ("Go" signal), u still look left/right to assess the situation. u dont just drive straight though, oblivious of your surrounding.

R:R comes into it, but it's not a priority. IMHO, u can use it more like a gauge rather than a criteria for good/bad.
the answer lies in your trading personality. so it will be different for everybody.

assuming the setup is A+, u can opt to
-sail through the drawdown.
-exit at a certain area which u think needs to hold (as support or resistance).
-exit a portion of position to reduce risk

if the setup is not A+, & u just realized it, u can decide to exit ASAP, with a profit/loss..

we will handle it differently. u just have to find what suits you.



Many thanks for the charts, Sir James16!

wasn't worth the hassle... your high/nose is at 1.0755. Given the current volatility, even if it's on h4, you'd want at least 15 pips above the nose. That puts you at 1.077.

1.077-1.08 is the key/pivot/name it how you want area of aud/usd for this year... It's more or less the most important zone on the chart in the last 6 months.

Had an alarm if it went above 1.0815-1.082. And would've went with it on a close over 1.08. Which never happened.

Much like eur/aud and aud/cad you can see posted yesterday - aud/cad didn't have a close over 1.035 and eur/aud didn't have a close under 1.3265(you might think a close under 1.33 would be enough, but in that case, it'd be a very big chance it'd be reversed at 1.3265 - here's a crappy explanation why, I'm sure you can find 20 better in the thread as I'm a disaster at explaining things, but don't know where - http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...70#post4819970). Or you could do a quick 1.33 - 1.327 on H1 or M30 in eur/aud, but doubt it'd be worth the hassle given transaction costs are 5.5 pips, so ~18% of projected gain. But again, none of them triggered.

Much like the aud/usd - never triggered.
