Had a nice little trade this morning on A/U for +27. Took it off the 30 min cross, scaled down to 5 min for entry. This system is really showing the inportance of patients, thank you again lawgirl.

Andreas, when you say supported by H4 and D1, what exactly do you mean?.

Thanks.
Hi Maudur

Sorry for not writing more clearly.
I meant 'supported' more related to confluence.

  1. H4 and D1 are above 200 EMA
  2. H4 and D1 were green when I entered

Hope this helps
Andreas

My thought is to use an 8EMALo and an 8EMAHi as an envelope...My intention is not to have an automatic system but a staged manual system...I hope someone can help me bring this together. This is my first ever post so please excuse any rookie errors.


Search and you shall find. Thanks again for the thread. Found what I needed. Dave

Just for information purposes - I have not been at my screen as much this last few weeks due to other issues. But whenever I could grab a bit of time I traded the 5 minute and the 1 minute chart - 5:1 ratio. on E/USD. Works quite nicely for a short, quick in and out and pluck a few pips of the table type of strategy especially when you have no time to start scanning various pairs etc for set ups.
Happy trading.

Using what criteria for SL and TP?

Hey all

Got a question regarding the entries and i'd like if one of you could clear my confusion up!

http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6182/80863692.jpg

Option 1:
-H1 trend is BELOW white MA so it is a Downtrend.
-We look for shorts on the M15 (even though its above the white MA on that TF).
-As soon as the yellow crosses into the purple ma on the M15 we go short.

Option 2:
-You wait for the H1 yellow MA to cross into the purple MA and is below the white MA indicating downtrend.
-You then look at the M15, however you have to wait for it to cross into the purple AGAIN which is essentially shorting on a retrace?

Option 3:
-You wait for the H1 yellow MA to cross into the purple MA and is below the white MA indicating downtrend.
-You go short on the M15.

The reason I ask is because I'm spending time doing this but I want to clear it up to make sure whilst i'm sitting at my desk i'm actually doing the right thing. If its none of these options, could anyone just mention briefly the procedure?

I might be over complicating it... lol.

thanks

ConstantFX,

as per thread post #1

"When 3 crosses 8 on higher TF , move to lower TF for entry...look for a strong cross on lower TF and enter."

So you decide looking at H1 and -if conditions met- enter trade looking at M15. Hope this helps, look at the #1 again, possibly it will make it a bit more clear.

Hey thanks for reply.

Ok I have edited the image, with the part after the green vertical line being drawn on my be (ovbiously!).

Where 1 is the signal, and 2 is the trigger to sell (sell regardless of the current position being above the 200MA).

Is this correct?

Hey thanks for reply. ....
If the 2nd image would be H1, better. The relation should be 1:4 to 1:6, so H1 > M15 or M30 > M5. But beside of this, yes - right.

I am new to Forex and have read this thread and LawGirl's other thread as well.

I apologize, I am having trouble following this method.

Is there someone who can mentor me to help me trade profitably?

Thanks,

You can mentor yourself for free. Start at babypips.com and take every lesson. Do not be dissuaded by the website name [a more appropriate name would have been Forex-101]. There’s a ton of information available.

Michael,

Thanks for your reply, I have taken many of Baby Pips lessons.

What I wanted was someone to specifically teach me how to use THIS system and LawGirl's other system she has on here.

I have been over the thread but there are many things I still don't understand.

Anyone care to help me one-on-one?

Hi Anthony

I don't know exactly where to point you to start your trek into the Forex market. The forex can be a minefield or mindfield however you look at it, of information. I wish I had a mentor years ago, but that was not the case.

For my 2 cents worth to help start you on your way. Just start watching the market on a demo account. But place no positions, you don't want to start any bad habits. Then I like to read. Don't worry to much about trading systems just start getting the general information in your head first. Then maybe start putting on positions with your demo, but only according to a trading plan.

If you get specific questions...ask them

Using what criteria for SL and TP?
Sorry, I am only seeing your question now - Happy New Year by the way.
When using short time frames like one minute etc I am always sitting at the screen. I use 2% risk and will have my TP/Sl ratio at 2:1 as a minimum - however if trading life - i.e at the screen I will not put in a TP order, preferring to trade manually.
If the trade continues in my direction and past my TP area, I will often move my stop loss to the theoretical TP. I can then walk away from the screen knowing that I have at least locked in my 2:1 profit.
Naturally it doesn't always work out like that, but gives a nice smile to one's face when it does!!

Best regards

Bill.

Oh, but this one is so much fun!

What is it?

This is a trend trading system using very clean charts.

Which time frame (TF)?

Any two TFs with a ratio of 1:4 - 1:6, for example: I use the H1 and the M15 TFs with a ratio of 1:4. But you could use the H4 and H1 charts (ratio 1:4) or the daily and the H4 charts (ratio 1:6)....you get the picture.

Which pairs?

Any, but I will only use GBPUSD, EURUSD or AUDUSD for illustrative purposes.

[u]How do we determine the direction of...
Awesome trading style with the MAs! Following your method without candles is a tough one for me more especially determining what point to take a trade after 200MA repels price leading to a crossover of 3 & 8MAs. My question is this, supposing the 200ma is in a bullish configuration and price gets repelled to the upside on reaching 200ma leading to 3 & 8ma crossover. Now am i expected to take my long right at point of 3 & 8ma crossover or wait a little for price to find some sort of support either on 3ma or 8ma before i pull the trigger? Another question is, how do one know a particular 3 & 8ma crossover is going to be a strong or weak one?
