Just discovered this thread yesterday, very easy to understand. Took 2 trades at midnight local time (-6gmt): E/J - buy @ 102.58, + 47 pips; E/A - buy @ 1.2318, closed with a -29 pips (very flat trend when entering and stayed that way.) Both on 4H charts. Thanks all, I hope to be a good contributer here and just have to learn how to post charts with comments.
I also lost -29 pips on EURAUD, not a good week.

I think that moving average was giving you enough information to stay out of that trade though. This works really well in trending markets, when the ma is flat so is the trend.

Just a thought here. I hate adding more indicators than necessary and some people seem to be able to trade this fine and some seem to struggle. If you're struggling to know what is a trending market and what isn't you may want to consider adding a 50 simple moving average to the chart. Two moving averages make it a step clearer again to know when a chart is trending or not. I stress though, this is only if you feel you need it, you should be able to trade fine with just the 100 sma.

I am glad you brought it up as I was afraid to voice out since I don;t want to be disrespectful to your already wonderful system. I personally use 3 SMA.

mrluckystar,
Just my 2 cents since the 50SMA was brought up, the 50SMA was already flat when you enter the trade earlier so in my opinion.. the trend is getting weak and it might be hard to hit the 50 pips you were targeting. Looking at the direction now.. glad you got out at 1pip profit.

Hugh, I've been looking at HA's for a while now but your application of the method is very clear and well presented. I've had a few successful trades since following your thread so am very happy. Thanks for the time, effort and clear explanations. Also thanks to the positive contributions from others.

Trading a trend following system in a non trending market is not what this is about. Wait for the trends, the money will roll in when the time is right and you'll lose your shirt if you try and force a trade just to be in a trade.
