Pit bull trading strategy by brijon

I am trading two demo accounts and so far so good. One is a micro and the other is a mini. I want to thank Dreamliner for the latest .pdf explaining drawdown control by hedging when a pair reaches a certain loss. On the micro account I have printed $48.00 and my DD is $20.00. This is awsome on a micro in just 3 hours. Also, thanks Brian and I look forward to chatting with you on skype

I can't do it because that is my question, too. Right now I'm in a drawdown of 2% on my demo account and can't figure out how it is going to come back. It seems like we're simply cutting the winners short and letting the losers run.

Fair answer...Guess we will see what the man says.

thankyou

When I am in that predicament, I don't just sit there. I trade the other way whatever comes next. Even if you are in a DD, as long as the Balance and the equity are going up, it's all good. Then, if you really want to get out of a bad trade, you apply some of your profit against that trade or rather close it partially. This way the pain is easier to deal with.

I explain it a little in this post: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=4907019#post4907019

Remember you control IT, not the other way around.

don't forget the rubberband behaviour, nothing moves in one direction forever.

Keeps taking small positions always in direction of the move. keeps your DD low when it goes against your. Good this about this strategy is you are taking position based on PA, and no other indicator, as we all know, PA is the best and true leading indicator.

4.27% banked so far from Asian session.

Can't you also let winners run and cut losers quick?
Please explain "I trade the other way whatever comes next." I do not understand what you mean. I do understand the rest of what you are saying.

Attached is a picture of my drawdown currently. Most of the .04 (400 units with Oanda) are at the top now.

Madhatter - Thanks for your scripts, Ive tried them like spacepip and I get the same message. They are definitely in the same folder, but the folder seems to be missing the .ex4 equivelant of the files.
I apologize im a total noob im attaching the files again but i hadn't compiled them before that was my mistake.

They are now in EX4 format just put them in the same folder and attach to any open chart it only needs to be one.

Sorry about that

I would be happy to vouch for Brijon. We worked together on the Kantor method a couple years ago. However, I don't have any vouchers. I have been on this forum for over 5 years. I contribute where I can and don't insult anyone. Anyone willing to vouvh for me? Just check my record... Thanks for the consideration.

Hi SirWolf, would vouch for you buddy cos I rembere all the work you put in but I dont think I have vouching rites. Sorry Steve

See that yellow line at the bottom? I've got suckered into that sell. but as soon as it engulfed north, I went long for that long candle. Now it's in a little bit of a retrace and it could continue up some more. If it does engulf (my signal of direction change) north, I'll long. If this continue to drop, I'll short but: Because it's doubling down, I'll take profit more often on the short so that I don't have two losers if it decides to act up.

Brian's method is extremely good for controlling the DD but you still have to be able to figure out when the direction changes (either using his probe trades, or by some other method). For me the signal is Bullish or Bearish engulfing. That's it. Nothing more nothing less. I use Brian's probes system to pick the best moving pairs, and I usually take both ends of the grid. The highest in profit(the bottom trade) and the biggest losers (the one on top) in reverse. Then I watch what they do, If they move up/down the slots, I think about exiting or what to do next. Maybe I hold and I add for whoever is at the bottom/top. It depends.

These are typical reversal patterns on H4. And the way the PA looks right now, we could go long some more.....
And if it does, so what? I go long.

Not the way Brijon has explained it. You close trades that go to the bottom, meaning those that go in profit. So you are cutting those profits short, then re-entering at .04. The trades that go in to negative territory we have not had an explanation as to how to handle, except for hedging (which I can't do).
Quoting Dreamliner
I would really prefer Brijon answered questions like these: I have only stated that the method is innovative, not that I supported it, and I don't know enough about it to suggest changes or modifications of any kind.
Thanks anyway - i found the answer by doing it both ways, and it stares you in the face - i did need a paradigm shift!

Brijon has indeed thought this through.
Please explain it then, if you don't mind. Nothing is staring me in the face, and I'm watching my drawdown increase exponentially while my small profits are increasing in a linear manner.

I disagree. From what he's saying, you keep them as long as the equity goes UP and the prices are stable in one direction. You only close them when the equity starts going down and only if the DD is less than your current balance minus the starting balance. I know, one can say. What if the trade goes bad from the get go. Yes it can, but then you look at PA or whatever other s/r s/d areas, PA, volume etc. There is no fail proof system. You still have to look at the price.... You still have to make trading decisions.
I disagree. None of the below was included in my PDF, which Brijon approved and put on the first page.

Perhaps Brijon will post a video and explain??? As he is easy to understand when he speaks but I can't decipher a word of his rambling writings.
Why is that he can speak but not write?

HELLO BRIJON :-)
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN DRAWDON? ON THIS FANTASTIC SYSTEM???

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED MY POST SO I THOIUGHT I BETTER TYPE REAL REAL BIG SO YOU CAN SEE IT !

AND THE BIGGET TING I WANTTO SAY TO YOU IS

GOD BLESS YOU SIR BRIJAN
GOD BLESS YOU !

if you do it the way i suggested in my original post, then the 0.01 lots stop acting as an indicator which is the original intent of the author.

for example, eurusd 0.01 buy lot comes to the bottom slot and is steady in positive area. original method says you buy eurusd 0.04 then delete the 0.01 lot.

now here's the important bit: by doing as above, the bottom slot becomes available for some other pair, because you have closed the original 0.01 in profit (its no longer there in the bottom slot), plus the new one you open will NOT BE in the bottom slot as it will immediately be in draw down due to the spread (most times any way). So the bottom slot becomes available to other winners, and the game continues.

if you do it as i stupidly suggested, you will open a new eurusd buy 0.03 lot, but the ORIGINAL 0.01 LOT WILL STILL BE IN THE BOTTOM SLOT, and you are left with the dilemma as to what to do next; buy another lot because the 0.01 lot may continue occupying the bottom slot for a while!

if you try doing it the second way, you WILL see the issue that leads to.

hope that helps.
