Igrok Method. Q's & A's. Comments, thoughts and ideas

The all time favorite #18.4 template in action on the GBP/USD.

EURAUD TP reached as well.

Now CHFJPY, EURJPY,GBPJPY, EURUSD and AUDUSD in play.

With the markets with about 1 hour to go (US holiday today), it seems plausible that GBPJPY and EURO could reach it targets.

Good trades mate. Did you take this one as an EARLY ID #18.4?

I did a lot of backtesting for each and every pair and found "optimal" characteristics for each and every one of them. Funny how each and every pair has its own identity and a "premium" way to be traded with this template.

Characteristics such as timing, SL size, minimum/max daily/weekly ranges to name just a few makes all the difference.

All I can say is that since 2010, with the exception of GBCHF, all other pairs were able to post awesome profit factors, low drawdowns and above average win to loss ratios.

For me trading now is more of a science than an art. Although I render that there is some art into it as well. But honestly, it seems quite unreliable to me to have most (if not all) of your trading left to imagination or emotions.

Therefore, answering your question: This was a trade taken based on the characteristics of this particular pair at its best.

Result wise, just speaking for the last month and now the beginning of this month, I have above 34% returns with a low DD. I don't like to brag about my trading, however I don't consider this as a result of my trading but the result of deep research/work.

If I were to post here the results of the many different pairs using Igroks favorite template, you would be mind blown.

On the other hand, surprisingly enough, some of the pairs run quite different from Igroks usual 18.4 recommendations.

I can't speak for Igrok himself, but I am pretty much sure he knows about his own results.

*** A special thanks to my buddy Aediaz who helped me A LOT in my research.

The next step is to try to 'build' the other strategies and test them as to optimize them if possible, of course.

Interesting reply Mauro, thanks for that. It seems you took the template much further, down the systematic way. And am really glad it works well for you.

There is a saying here in brazil (will do my best to translate it):

"There is no arguing against facts"



Here are a few examples.

Thanks Mauro. Is that Ninjatrader platform?

yes.

Does it have free data feed? Like MT?

Yes it does. However, it is a bit more complicated to set it up. It has a few options such as MB. There are afew tutorials on the web on how to set it up.

There are a few options too on end-of-day feed for backtesting purposes.

Todays GBPUSD ID 18.4 target reached.

We had a good deal of 18.4s again today:

CADJPY - First short (SL HIT). Now long. In floating profit.
GBPUSD - TP reached.
EURUSD - TP reached.
NZDUSD - SL hit.
AUDJPY - In floating profit.
USDCAD - Not really going anywhere.

NZDJPY (IW) - In good floating profit.

Hi,
thee is a negative MACD divergence on AUDUSD on the daily.
What would be the target of this divergence?

Thanks!
Marc

Could you post a picture, please?

Another great trading day as usual for the range template:

NZDUSD
AUDCAD
AUDUSD
CADJPY
USDCAD

Euro is closing in to test the low of the year.

On another perspective, USDCAD is testing the high of the month as well.

Interesting to see what happens from here.

NZDUSD
AUDUSD
USDCAD
AUDCAD

all reached TP.

Now waiting on CADJPY.

Edit: All TPs reached.

What a trading day. What a trading week. What a trading month. Heck, what a trading year!
