Thanks Hugh
Your work & sharing is greatly appreciated. I have been a silent reader of most of your posts on FF & have learned much from them. You have amazed me with your patience. Hope you the best during your rest and future trading. I know you will be successful because in my opinion you have found the key to being profitable in forex: Proper Money Management & Adding to your winners.

Any reader who has not read PipEasy's tread Building an Equity Millipede, please do yourself a favor and read the portion about Joe's Flying Buddhas. PipEasy describes a method that is only successful about 40%, yet is highly profitable due to the adding technique (very mechanical). I believe this is what Hugh has discovered that has greatly improved his trading. I have never understood, Why any trader would not prefer to add to a trade moving in a favorable direction.

Again thanks so much. Wish you the best & many successful trades.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I'm really glad lots of people can see what I see in this system. As Oz says sometimes you need some time to think about what you're doing so you can see the wood from the trees. Knowing that this thread is helping so many people makes me feel like continuing it. I'll take a couple of weeks and then come back and post some trades. Have a good few weeks and I'll see you all soon.

Hi Hugh, In Panama the Third Age refers to retirement, but I have always believed that Life comes in 3 Stages as well. 1) Finding out who you are and learning what you are going to do: roughly, birth to 25, 2) Doing it to the very best of your ability: roughly, 25 to retirement, 3) Retirement(which can come at any age). This is your time. you can certainly continue what you have doing tho in a modified fashion, or since it is really your time, you can strike out on a new adventure. Best wishes on your continued success!! Thanks for all your help. It has been a GREAT benefit to me. Bob

Hello everyone - While I am sad that Hugh wont be as active as he has been, I am very happy that he has figured out how Forex works and can now enjoy the spoils - It gives me hope and inspiration ..

That being said - lets keep this an active place there is still plenty to learn form each other -

Any thoughts on the open today ?

AUD/USD had a cross and slide Friday - I am watching for what happens on open.

USD/JPY I think is primed for a move to the short side.

This week I also keep my eye on USD/CAN - not certain if it will be tradable but I am waiting for it to change direction.

Lets get them PIPs

I haven't been on this thread long but I'll miss Hughs thoughts to.
Hope you have fun Hugh if you're reading these.

It's interesting to see your view of the AUDUSD, the cross and slide on Friday, I'm watching that one closely too, more with interest to see what it will actually do, I wasn't expecting it to be tradable on Monday. 'hope your right though, if so I'll be having some of it too.
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.

No worries mate . I'm glad that a lot of people seem to be getting something from this approach. I hope the thread doesn't die although I do know that often once the OP goes the rest follow. I'll be around and will probably pop my head in but I need a break from trading altogether for a week or two and then I need to focus on what I am doing all the more and prove that my recent spell of success is not just down to luck. Speak soon, Ted.
Hugh,

Your probably on holiday by the time you read this. Thanks for all the hard work and input, these things take time!
Let us know how you are getting on once you have resumed your focus. We are all interested

Guys,

Still like to keep this thread going if possible. I'll post charts now and then which in principle follows Hugh's original concept.
I'm currently trading the 4hr as the higher time frame and 15 min as lower.
Still working on exits / targets.
Entered USDCHF on 25th on a stoch cross (.9590) looking for a retracement towards the 100 ma - immediately placed a 30pip stop which I had to leave in place over weekend.
This morning changed stop to trail Parabolic SAR on the 15 min chart (use this rather than an ma as it is initially slower moving - less likely to get whipsawed)
Then added another position from a stoch cross on the lower time frame with a another trailing stop. Trade should be at b/e today.
Like Hugh says - non of us know if the trades will work out - I don't know if my stops will get hit before my targets. That's what I'm working on next - currently setting targets on the 4hr chart at support / resistance and taking weekly pivots into account.

Guys,
I have been trading the 4hr and have not done allot with 1hr so I am giving it a go... These are what I have today...

I entered EUR/AUD late unfortunately but I still believe it is going in the right direction.
The Weekly was staring to turn in support of the 4hr - I entered - @ 1.27601 down with a 50 pip stop which I have now moved to breakeven - PT 50 as I don't stay awake during during the US market.

I also took an entry USD/CAD based on the 1hr and D1 which where both supporting each other with a candle change in the same direction. The 1hr SS was still laying low in the 20% area and the D1 was starting to turn in 80% so I entered at 1.02306 down.

I shall see what happens in the morning for me...

Howard

I'm new but very interested in Hugh's thread here.

I've been following this thread for 2 weeks now and have had some success.

Right now the E/J has been sitting on support for 4 days and still looks bearish to me. The Daily is still red and the hourly white but has just hit the 100 ma and stoch is starting to hook nicely. Waiting for hourly to turn red.

The next stop for E/J looks like 97.00 to me. Is this a good sell set up or what?

Hi Don

I've been following this with interest and some success too, it's also a really nice thread with decent folk on too.
I was watching the E/J with interest 'till a couple of hours ago but have been seduced away to the USDJPY which I think is more cleanly indicated, I got a bit confused with what I thought the E/J might be about to do, or not.

good luck,
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.

Hi Gizz, I agree it's become a little iffy. The A/U looks to be pulling up and might be ready to take off.

If the E/J turns white I think I'll jump out.

Yep, agreed, I'm waiting on that one too.
I just took a little scalpy short on the CADCHF, looks ok but was motivated by itchy bored fingers, 'WISH I didn't do things like that (sigh,,,)
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.
