Thanks Shomari,

Do you adjust the retracement trendlines in the triggerchart? Hope they will trigger next week, there are a lot of pips to TP1 I hope the retracement of the GBPNZD wil not go below the 50SMA, but well, it it does, I only have to remove the PO.
No hangover Shomari?? ;-)
You can't be hung over when you haven't slept yet LOL!!! Seriously I gotta go to sleep.
Adjust the trendline in the Setup chart.
Those trades are really gonna blast off !! Just a matter of when. And with those many pips to give out, it'll take 2 weeks just to collect all those pips. Thing of beauty bro, thing of beauty.
Excellent Setups !!!

How do you know he hasn't backtested the "method", as you call it.
I don't know what planet you're on, but, here on earth, 2% x 10 = 20%. Remind me not to send my children to your university. WOW.
Maybe you've never heard of stops before. Who knows, but I let my CHARTS do the talking.

Trade Life !!
what makes you think ten losses is the maximum the market will give you until final drawdown is reached? Maybe you will have 20 losses before final drawdown is reached, maybe only 5 losses. How do you know how many losses can and will be normal for a system before final drawdown is reached?
Again, stay factual. I know you have an innate urge to be an ass, but just try for once to give a normal response.
Secondly, I don't own a university, so no need to remind you.
Thirdly, what do stops have to do with max drawdown? We are talking about drawdown over several trades (that all have a stoploss included).

You are trying to make this waaaaaaay to difficult. It's not. It's easy.
hm, whom do I believe more. A random guy on the net (who obviously is still in puberty), or maybe interviews of the best traders in the world and my own experience?
Trading is simple, but not easy. If you don't have a sound plan, based on a good theory, you are doomed to fail in the long-term.

Yes you're a smart analytical guy, everyoe can sense that, BUT THIS IS NOT SOME ANALYTICAL THEORETICAL GAME. This is trading life, in other words, reality, what's happening in your newspaper, and in your countries, and in your parliaments. THAT is what we are trading. LIFE. REALITY. It's not a THEORY and cannot be put in some neat and tidy box. Life is messy, and it affects our currencies, and that is how we make a living. From the instabilities, and poitical mistakes, etc, etc, etc of this world , which sends our monies flying every which...
Your whole life is first of all based on theory on which everything mankind made is built. Without the proper theory behind everything, you wouldn't enjoy your TV set, your car, electricity for that matter. Yes, trading is based on real world events, but you have to create an underlying theory that can exploit recurring real world events and resulting price behavior. And then based on that theory create a working trading plan, which then should be executed effortlessly and without a second thought.

Now let's alll get on to actual TRADING. Enough of this "mom knows best" crap and now let's trade.
and first of all I am not your mom, secondly the markets are closed, so you can't trade right now.

Anyways, I am sure you will respond with a good disrespectful post as you always do, Mr.-Alpha "I-get-all-the-girls-cause-I-am-so-awesome". Not sure if you are already out of puberty, but your posts make me think you are still a very young guy.

Fits into MY framework ???!!!
This thread is called: "Trend Trading all pairs", and specifically, using "Hector Style", (Swing trading), to trade the markets. Or HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ?!!
Anyone who wants to know how I , and other successful traders trade, just go to the BEGINNING OF THIS THRAD, and Nightmovs explains the whole thing. Trend trading using 30, 50, 100 SMAs is EXACTLY what this thread is about. That's WHY it was created.
And for anyone who wants to learn how to make 1000's of pips, Get the HECTOR TRADER TRADING COURSE, and read THIS THREAD, FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT"S what this thread is all about. As you can see from earlier posts, everyone used to use the HECTOR STYLE and templates and compare trades. And make money.
I guess everyone left cause, there were some constantly, NAGGING THEM, to forever backtest their systems instead of making money. Even though it's plain to see the "system" already "works". (mentioning no names.)
EVERYONE READ THIS THREAD FROM THE BEGINNING. Let's compare trades and give each other ideas, and pats on the back.
This thread used to be FULL of guys just RAKING IN THE PIPS !!! Read for yourself. START FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE THREAD.
So EXCUUUUUUUSE me, if I'm actually posting and using the swing trading style this thread was actually made to host about!! Take your THEORIES somewhere else. This thread is about TREND TRADING ALL PAIRS, USING "HECTOR STYLE" OF SWING TRADING. NOT THEORIES !!
We are NOT SEARCHING, for how to trade, we already KNOW HOW TO TRADE, this IS HOW WE TRADE. Swing trading Hector style IS the method.
So go to some backtesting thread if you wanna talk about backtesting. Go to some scalping thread, if you wanna talk about scalping. But yes, I'm going to cotinue to talk about swing trading, and hector style, and posting charts etc.. since that's what this thread is ALL ABOUT. How's that for your alpha male?!!

Anyways...enough with the distractors.

EVERYONE, if you want to make REAL MONEY. the way INSTITUTIONAL TRADERS DO. THIS IS THE THREAD FOR YOU. ASK QUESTIONS, GET THE MT4 TEMPLATES. (people have posted them al over this thread, I would also be HAPPY to share them with anyone.).(YOUR CHARTS WILL LOOK LIKE MINE). READ THIS THREAD FROM THE BEGINNING. Post your trades, your setups, learn everything you can, like we used to in here. and let's be the winningest, most profit taking thread in the whole Forex Factory again.

The reasion I use the MA lines is because they are dynamic and they will move with the pair, markets are not perfect, and just playing off the straight trend lines...well those are breached many times and and can be difficult to use consistantly, however they do have thier place and I will go over that very soon. The MA lines can tell you a lot about the how healthy the trend is, the 100 MA is one I watch very close, if that starts getting tested then there is a possiblity the trend could be running of gas...
Here....Nightmoves is explaining the 3SMA strategy.

Looking good to me.
The only thing I would say would be to move your retracement trendlines over and search for an even lower entry point.That'll give you more pips.
When those fly, you're looking at banking a nice load of pips. Hell, I might have to look into these trades myself next week, now that I think about it. Thanks for the idea. This is what this thread should be about. Charts and real trades. Thanks man.

In a trending market you to see the price harmonicaly bouncing off of those trend lines, the market will always come back to those in a trending market. And those are the areas I look for entries and will go over that in a little while. Those 3 MA are the only one I use and nothing else.

If we have an uptrend always look for higher swing highs and higher swing lows and of course the opposite in a down trend, but it must be harmonicaly bouncing in the are of the MA lines, I will tell you the bigger players like to enter in that area. And that...
Another early post.

Yous see everyone, this thread is meant for you to learn how to trade the trends in ANY timeframe using 3SMAs like th intitutional investors do.
GO TO THE BEGINNING OF THIS THREAD AND READ IT LIKE A BOOK. Look at all the examples of trades people took, the mistakes they made, and their successes.
If used properly this thread will enable you to avoid a MIRIAD of pitfalls that others before you have already gone through, using this swing trading method. It's like a COACHES PLAYBOOK AT YOUR DISPOSAL. 5 YEARS worth of trades, charts, and insights.
THIS IS REAL TRADING. THE INSTITUTIONAL WAY.

Does this way of trading work?
LOOK AT MY CHARTS FOR THE PAST 4 WEEKS.. You tell me, does it work ?
YES IT DOES !!

OK OK. Now everyone's in the groove. play around with these tools, and learn them.

Trendline alerter. When you draw a trendline and want to know when price touches it type Alert_0 or Alert_5 (the number represents how many pips away from the trendline you want to be alerted. Obviously I always use 0 zero, because I only care when price breaches the retracement trendline.

FROM NOW ON, I'm gonna type how we used to in this thread e/j = EUR/JPY, c/u=CAD/USD. No more babysitting.

READ THIS THREAD FROM THE BEGINNING.
You're going to learn, and see, with proof, so much from this thread, you will learn more in one week, READING IT FROM THE BEGINING, than you will in a LIFETIME, at Forex Factory.

The 3SMA trendfilter is the TRENDSCANNER. SCAN THE WHOLE MARKET IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES.

To get the scanner working you have to go to "marketwatch" in your metatrader platform. Then "right click" and select "show all". Then close market watch. Then open e/u = EUR/USD (last time) and select the M5 timeframe. Then select templates/3SMA Dashboard. Your system might slow down, this is a very powerful EA and it's scanning the whole market. so it takes a while. 5-10 min. After that you'll see red dots for downtrend, and green dots for uptrend.

Invite your friends, get a copy for the wife.. The secrets are out.
Everyone should READ THIS THREAD FROM THE BEGINNING SO WE ARE ALL SPEAKING THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE.

Any questions, just ask. I'm here to help, as are may others who trade this way. (look at earlier posts)

The trends come alive before your eyes now, don't they? The round number indicator in the hector template is powerfu. Notice how price reacts to round numbers. You could't see that before could you ?
Notice those round circles on your chart lighting green or red ? Now go to that timeframe and look at the beautiful trends. Like ripe fruit in season, ready for the harvest !!

Look at the charts I'm in, and now look at your charts. Thing of beauty !!

Notice how price breaks out of the retracement trendlines. (the BLACK DIAGONAL LINE) Well guess what I did when that happened. Went short (again) every single one.
READ THIS THREAD FROM THE BEGINNING and you'll understand how and why.

LOL!!! You gotta love it !!!

Tick Tock tick tock. I don't know why you didn't jump into a few of the JPY trades while you're waiting. Make a few pips while you wait. Trading D1 trends usually is a loooong wait, so I keep th charts available, and set my alarms, but trade other pairs until it's time to jump in. Just a suggestion.

Shomari, what trades are you in at the moment? Can you post your charts?, will look for setup myself this evening
I notice you have the trend indicators and stuff. Do you have the Hector trendline alerter. If not I uploaded it with instructions. You can set it to you retracement trendlines by typing: Alert_0. Then when your GBP trades retrace you'll know, and you can get in on those other setups..

You asked about BPC before (breakout, pullback, continuation) Well here's a perfect, real-world (tradable), example.
Notice the c/j and a/j charts below. In those charts the retracement trendline is the black diagonal line. As you can see price followed thatr line then "brokeout" short. That's the BREAKOUT, once price went below that line.
Then notice the green bar. That's the PULLBACK. Price is "pulling back" to test the retracement trendline.
Now what....well , now we put our entry order a few pips below the breakout bar. c/j 74.95, a/j 75.89.
If price goes past the BP and CONTINUES ON, CONTINUATION, then the bulls won, and price will shoot through our entry and down to the next price level, which in this case is the 0 FIB retrace level. (Blue horizantal lines).
If price DOESN"T reach our entry, that's called a FAKEOUT. That's why we enter below the breakout, to avoid getting caught in any market FAKEOUTS.
Also if price continues up we wait and search for a new entry .
That's the escence of swing trading. Do that same thing over, and over, and over, again.

That's it. A perfect illustration.

Notice the charts below. Specifically c/j and a/j . We got, BP but no C. A FAKEOUT.. If you got in short already on these, you're taking a beating.
That's why we wait for, BP AND C !! (Breakout, Pullback, AND continuaion) before entering.

Lesson learned.
Now we search for a possible new entry to present itself.
AS STATED A FEW POSTS BEFORE.
