Hi Steviet,

I'm just wondering if you can answer this question:

Would it be prudent to initiate add-ons trades for Method #2 using james16 price action rules?

Thank-you, polundra

Hi polundra,

Yes, there are many ways you could change a method to suit your style of trading.

Whether that's using ma's, James16 type price action or any other, the important thing is to have a plan and be disciplined to follow that plan 100%.

The more vague the criteria one sets, the easier it is to deviate from the plan and that's where most traders will fail ultimately.

Hope this helps!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'd just like to ask you a few more questions:

I can see that the daily range on the EU is around 150 pips, so I think your stop-loss of 50 pips is not enough, or maybe I'm missing something.

I'd just like to add that you're trading a mechanical moving average system, and I think that you can make money on a system like that with proper money management and discipline of following the rules. Unfortunately, the "black swan" events and situations make those systems very unpredictable, so that's why I was thinking about using the j16 rules for add-ons.

And also, can you post a daily chart of EU with add-ons marked on the candles?

Thank-you in advance,

polundra

hi Steve
happy new year
I was experimenting with you moving averages system and came up with the system of 6 different types of ma on dailies and all of them 50 days and the rule is just to take a trade at the direction of the weeklies.
When one of a ma shows a trade against the weekly direction I am not taking that trade. Works very well.
Thanks. Keep well. Polundra

Heey!!
I was thinking about the ways to improve my trading, and I thought of your thread. Now I think I got me some pretty strong method J16+Steviet.
Don't know we will see.

Btw, you have not posted any result for several months. Can you share your results on Method 1 please? (50 sma/ema method) - that's what I want to pick up for my J16 style entries...

Incredibly dull since mid January but seeing as dull means profits thats OK with me

Currently holding two longs from 18th January at 1.33865 & 1.33885.

Also an add on from 15th February at 1.34774 & 16th February at 1.34789 (s/l currently at 1.38838).

The weather is beautiful today so back to the garden, a book and maybe a drink or three

Kind Regards

Hey Steve!

I've hijacked your thread once before I guess. I just wanted to say that I'm very happy that you're still on the board once in a while.
I started reading your thread way back when I first started to learn things about Forex and trading styles/strategies.
It's been very, very helpful to read your story with all the ups and downs. I'm sure you didn't like the downs too much, but on the other side they happened during your learning curve.

I'm really happy you're still trading and like that you did try, try and try. It must have been extreme hard for yourself going trough this whole learning process. When you originally quit your job way back to trade full time before you had to make the decision to go back to work, because trading didn't work out the way it was supposed to be... Man, I felt so sorry for you. The more it makes me happy that you did change your strategies and came back again.

I'm thinking about starting a journal too. But even if I do - it would be impossible to give readers as great input as yours does. I would love to see this journal as a sticky way on top for newbies.

Best luck for the future and thumbs up.

Hey Mike,

I'm happy you have gained something from reading the journal

It's certainly been a journey, at times very painful but I have learned a great deal about myself in the last 5 or so years and still around to tell the tale.

I wish you every success for the future!

Kind Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

Can you update how you handled this recent PA ? It seems to have crossed the EMA and SMA a couple times now ...

thanks

Hi M,

Yes, this year has been good with longs taken from January and February which were only closed on the breach of the 50sma & ema in early May.

The last few weeks have been a little tricky whilst the market decides where to go next but that is the method and I have to take a few hits until we either bounce again or breach the recent 1.3970 low for a new leg down.

Its all about patience and belief....

Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,

I have started to read your story right from the very beginning; it’s been a fascinating insight in to an emotional forex rollercoaster! I’m particularly impressed with how you have taken the time to reply to so many questions, even during those times when you must have been mentally shattered; so well done for that.

If you do happen to drop by and read this I’d be grateful if you would answer me a question regarding the method that you were using when you suffered quite a big loss for your investor. It seems to me that this particular method was working very well; you seemed to have confidence in it but that was lost during the financial crisis in 2008. I’m new to Forex so forgive me if my question is naïve, but isn’t there anyway to safeguard against a large/sudden move in the market? Couldn’t one place a ‘buy stop’ and ‘buy sell’ as a safety net, at a price that would hedge the trade and safeguard the account?

Like I say, I’m new to this and I’ve no doubt you’ve thought long and hard but I would be grateful if you or anyone else with more knowledge could give me some feedback?

Thanks again for a wonderful read!

Lee
