As my trading evolves I keep looking for easier ways to trade with less confusion and frustration. I have mainly used trendlines and s/r areas in the past. This has improved my trading over the years but I want to show you what I am doing now and I hope you will find this useful. We all trade with different time frames and exspectations. This is by far the simplest thing I have ever used and takes the guess work out for me. Are all my trades profitable.....NO!! I do not believe there is a system out there that can accomplish that. I have a few rules I use and I will be posting those rules along with examples to show what the set uo looks like on a chart. I hope you find this interesting and profitable.

always looking to simplify (PROFITABLE) trading
Thanks bkg102665...I'm looking forward to it!!

Simple is good...
Use a daily chart with most any pair you like to trade.

Put a 10sma on the chart (red on my charts)

Always know where support and resistance levels are(aqua on my charts)because these are always good take profit areas and entry areas

I will only take shorts when price is at resistance level and then closes below the 10sma

I will only take longs when price is at support and then closes above the 10sma

This a trade I entered short. Price touched my resistance line and then closed below my 10sma. I would be looking to take profit at the lower trend line, the support line, or get out of the trade if price closes back above the 10sma.

thanks... I like it.

A couple of questions(which you may already be answering but I'm anxious):

Based on both charts, would it have been a valid signal from a couple of days early when it closed (above/below) the 10SMA - which I believe is yes.

If this is the case, what would the stop loss be?

Yes the trades I have shown were entered a few days ago. My stop loss would be if a candle closes on the opposite side of my 10sma.

BTW please feel free to ask questions about this and any currency pair you may be looking at. Just so you know I use IBFX as my broker mainly because their candles along with the 10sma seem to be more reliable than other brokers that may close the day at a different time. I also use FXDD as my second broker but base all my trades off of IBFX charts.

This is an alert I had made that has the ability to alert w/ alarm, a pop up window, and an email. It will alert you when a daily candle crosses and close the 10sma. You will get the alert at the close of the daily candle. I run this on 20+ currencies and every night around 8 pm I get emails to tell me which pairs have crossed the 10sma and closed. Remember that you want to take short trades when price is close to resistance and long trades when price is near support.

Interesting that I came across this thread. I used to experiment with almost the same trading technique a while back. Price first had to cross the 9 SMA and the next day the trade was made if/when the price broke the first day's candle instead of at the close of first day's candle as you do. There is definitely a lot of potential to this simple method if one has a good system to filter your SMA crosses.
Another rule of mine, once you are up 100 pips move your s/l to +5 and let the trade run. Often these trades will run for +500 pips.

Hi,

When the daily candle breaks through the `ma 10 , for a short trade enter the trade 1/2 pips below the low of that day,
it give more conformation of the trend.

Also plot an RSI 14 in the chart and draw trendlines of the bottom, when it is broken , it is another conformation
try it and you will see it.

Hi BKG
I have a question if I may. On your AUD/USD chart just posted you say you will short if candle closes where it is now. The thing I dont under stand is that at no time do I see this as a resistance line.If you look to left on your chart around aug1st price came down and bounced at support for about 4days or so, price then went up and came back downaround 8sept and again bounced on support for about 4/5 days then dropped through, made a new low then shot back up going straight through previous support, so no resistance there, price came back down around 11nov and again bounced around support level before dropping through making another low then went back up again straight through previous support level so no resistance there came back down and again bounced 5/6 at same support level and has now dropped through again. So my question is after all that, how do you see this as a resistance area which as you say you will short if candle closes as is ? I only see this as a support area and cannot see any where that price at this level was turned back and then went down. Any help much appreciated
Many Thanks
Geoff

Thanks for reply BKG but all the areas you have remarked on you chart I see as support , where does this become resistance allowing you you take a short?
Geoff
I am expecting price to come down and close the gap I have high lighted
