THIS should shed some light on the IDEA of Pitbull with position the aim of why we say DEMO >>DEMO >>and think ...DD control. LOSS PROFIT LOSS>

DEMO BUILDS confidence and gives you an idea of what you can achieve

It takes time, DEMO and think. NOT JUST counting the pips per trade.

This is about the concept of longer term business operation. IT's about the philosophy and not about how to enter at precision points...or which indi is better....it' about setting realistic goals... and control greed.

DEMO pitbull gives you a FAST TRACK method of practicing the concept of DD controll, hedging and LOSS profit loss.

HERE I detailed where you should end up after practicing...

A. I said DEMO the method using the indicator with all the pairs..
DEMO IS FOR PRACTICE ONLY>>>TO LEARN AND THINK
WE CAN ALL TRADE WITHOUT INDICATORS AND STOP LOSSES

B. One does not need indicators to Trade..for example lets trade one pair
EUR/USD. How can we apply the pitbull trading with position building to this pair only?

c. The concept is there, think, this is for all those who have demoed.

ENTRY STARTS where IT ends and IT ENDS where it STARTS

d. At the start of the week. or day. ( we all know that price have to move, its inevitable). We have no idea where it will good, do we?
But it have to go some where either UP, DOWN or UP and Down).

e. NO STOP LOSS, we ENTER, this is the favorite part...Some where at the start of the day or week (OPEN) we enter both buy and sell. BUY above sell below.. Pay attention guys...our reference point is the OPEN.

IT's the Inevitable Movement of price that we capitalize on.
-Called ( INEVITABLE BREAK OUT).


At this point we wait...the market will move. Now only two things can happen.

1. BUY ORDER or SELL ORDER triggers.
2 BOTH ORDERS TRIGGERs

NOW THE REALLY FUN PART...

What do you do? we do what we've being doing STACKING...or SALES.

you add positions in the direction of movement(TREND) watching your account size and DD at the same time.

NOTE When both orders triggers you might say.SHIT...
think for a bit but theres no losses...it becomes a hedge trade
now PROFIT from the Hedge( losses are Frozen) STACK in your favour More BUYS or MORE SELLS profiting from the hedge...
YOur accout balance stays in tacked.

STACKING or SALES:

HOW WHEN WHERE and HOW MUCH.

HOW, in the direction of price movement ( daily, week movement) buy if it up and sell if its down.

WHEN ---GO WITH THE FLOW and BUSY times ( 0800, 1200, 1600) everyone is trading during these times..BIG MONEY)

WHERE session start...at the begining of the above sessions.

HOW MUCH..DONT be greedy...manage your position size..sometimes you dont have to make sales or stack...watch your position grow.. and DD reduce..

ITs your choice to take profit 10pips or wait of 50 or 100 or etc.( smaller pips is more trades, increase positions, increase hedges)
NOTE: LET THE MARKET GROW IN POSITIONS>>>
fast small trades are good, but account size matters in all respect, timing also...hence the PITBULL INdicator

BUY SELL ENTRIES covers all postions...and allows the STACKING PROCESS...now you are in controll if the market goes up down...we just not care ...

remember the PB indicator gives you the idea of which pair to trade NOW...

BUT buy DEMOING AND THINKING, HEDGING ,, DD control , control postion size to STAY in the market for the ride...LONGTERM BUINESS..GROWTH..
realistic growth...NOT 5% grwoth per DAY>. that's 60% growth in your account in 12 days. This seems like more trades than needed and more trades is more risk/more hedge to cover. Not good money management

I have shown how to print money non stop.but is it really good business management applying hedging all the time...without give the market time to decide how much to grow or DD the positions.. the market and us traders need time to breathe

WE have we been STACKING from our hedge trade all along.
BUT we exploit the INEVITABLE BURST of the MARKET from the START OF THE DAY OR WEEK.

AND STACK when other are ADDING...NO indicators...
EVentually we all will rest and wait for another day to start... or week.

I Break Even my postions for longterm growth ..DD control OR Take some profit to grow the account.
It better to take stock first on positions more like managing a portfolio using a What if analysis..

I really dont use shape of candles..but it's really important to know where price is for the week...UP week or DOWN week

CYCLE: LOSSS PROFIT LOSS

This is the nature of the market....Prices moves UP and DOWN...we call it the CYCLE....PREVIOUS SWING point ( S/R, PIvots etc.) These are areas where price have visited in the past...
This simple means that if you account could withstand the market movement then postions in DD could turn to profit and profit positions if not realize would decrease or be taken into DD.

This is why its important to trade like a busineess and not rush to print money,....it SO EASY...BUT STAYING in BUSINESS...is HARD.

THE TREND

The is everyones friend.
There are indicators andmethods tons of it to identify the trend.
But I'm not fixated on the Trend....the BIG picture...(I'm remain flexible in my thoughts)
My job in entering and Stacking or making sales ( important)..I can be wrong ..about my friend any day or month or week..

I just entering BUYS AND SELLS...the market goes up down BUT I have and will always maintain a Idea about the TREND..( weekly monthly)
but I enter every day...THAT IS MYJOB...I controll the DD THIS WAY

THE pitbull is what makes me realize... the Pitbull is a just the indicator...of what to trade NOW., so in essence
you can pick you favorite currency and trade it...and your career.. but diversifying is part of the business.

THINK and practice...

Use pitbull indicator as a FASTRACK Method of practicing DD control trading the forex-DEMO it is for demo..
it teaches you not focus on indicators ema, ma stoch etc.. but allows you think and apply
positions and market price movement to profit slowly steadily using business principles.

Think and refine your application.

Cheers

no two traders will report the same style and same profit

I have demoed and pay the price...feel the rush and but I have not taken any course

I was lucky to find Brijon and Greame..
Eventually I figure out that their methodology are the same but the application is different..since one held for growth and one prints for pocket change..

But DEMOING and thinking wll reveal the power you have...
The tools you have at your disposal is NOT indicators for sure..

I have decide to give back here...in anyway I can....

I second that, am still very active with pitbull and playing around with another method for zzzzz time, but that post from chips is perhaps one of the best posts that I have seen on FF for a long time.

Its a shame the method turned so sour so quickly, the idiots just didnt know what they were being given, 'or perhaps they did'!!

Anyway why is this thread in the commercial section?

Very impressive keep doing what you are doing...

I post whenever I feel like Ì don`t want the commitment of answering individual emails.

there is no wrong or right way to trade..if you are making money...
keep doing it

I`m not looking for glory by posting pips..

I learn along time ago that most pips earn today will be lost the next day of the next or the next year..

Keeping the pips is what counts...this the why most forex traders quit after a while

Cheers

my positions are allowed to go in DD...knowing that price will return..

its a fact...

It`s also a fact that you can profit and grow your account while in DD.

it also a fact that you can profit in ranging market...MOST LOOSE THIER SHIRTS HERE

Most ppl dont know how to apply the techniques...because of the rush to create profit and post in forums..Greed ..No realistic business plan.

So,
By setting the Max DD limit...
Buying and Selling, following the weekly flow
Break Even position...offsetting DD positions...growth
Freezing the positions- Hedging
Stacking with the Weekly flow
Giving the market time to move
Taking profit
Re-balancing the positions ..equals buys and sells..
Stop Trading ....When your Max limit is achieved...walk away...take a break ..so sport..chill out...check back from time to time....
the nature of the makert LOSS PROFit LOSS...you will be happy...

Notice the EURUSD...Buy postions in DD a few months ago are now cycling.... Buy positions from last few runs..if not realized...will be taken out soon, from what most traders or analyst call a correction...WATCH and you will SEE
We just call it LOSS PROFIT LOSS....this completes the trading circle...


I can grow the account in any market.

It`s so easy to get pips...taking pips is easy...

Anyone can post his or her daily pips.... keeping the pips...is the goal here..

I`m not interested in the number of pips anymore..they are easy to get...My goal is keeping the pips...

any position entered in the market can gain pips...it keeping those pips..

that`s the great challenge...

Cheers

Several months ago i was experimenting with pitbull manually using demo and live.I had let the drawdown reached 1000pips total on one occasion letting pitbull 'cycle' it back into few pips on profits in 3 months period which is a long time. Sometime later i tried again starting new trades based on pitbull which after few weeks escalate until -2000pips. There is absolutely no way i can come back from that..no matter what since each trade added using the most profitable pair on the indicator basket creates losses.
I hedged the biggest losers but it add up and snowballed into -2000pips. I had imagined pitbull wont at least grew into -1000 dd but alas.
All of this happened when i ididnt check the trades after few days as the internet is off,when i did its on big dd already. Then the first question come into mind..how do i reduce dd?? I think the simple answer is to close all-ve trade immediately or use SL. Had i did that i wont get that huge of dd but a fe w hundred consecutive Sl in a row will damage the account beyond repair anyway.
Maybe all the major pairs including the crosses are beasts that cannot be tamed anyway. The pairs switched flip flop from trending into ranging mode every few weeks confusing the the trader not to mention volatility is not that strong as few years ago. A single pair can drop > 4000pips or more without retracement, but still can cut you even if you play with the trend with the horrid number of consecutive SL.When you changed into ranging mode in trends killing the account..

The pitbull method needs a lot of screen time. Lots of time i was staring at the screen for few hours selecting the biggest profit pair in IA to trade. After 3-4 trades in 3 hours i got tired then switch of the computer. By the next day it was in massive dd...this occurs many time ..luckily on demo. Combining with basic TA scrambles my chart and gave me headache which means more mistakes made. Im tired of practicing this as i hit a dead end on pitbull. But i knew that few traders are still doing this with varied success.
I ditched all the chart with the majors and crossed then look for some exotic pair with very low rates. The most they can do is 1000pip dd until it 0 in the exchange rate. There are few cross pairs like this which cannot sunk lower provided you long only on your trades.These pairs were not as maniacs on the major scene now with low volatilty. I also traded stock /futures looking for long only / buy and hold strategy which produces lots of profit which dwarfs the -2000p loss earlier.
You wouldnt taught that a buy n hold strat still viable today but it is . It beats the yield in forex. Looking at the stats , no wonder 95% are loosers in forex since the potential drawdown is limitless. Coupled with the fact that most also sell short = unlimited losses. It is supposed to be the opposite. Look at the majority of mt4 stats accounts, lots of them blew up sooner or later. Its very hard to stay consistent in this wild market with few exceptions in some fx pairs.
The dd is actually manageable if it can close within few months. I wouldnt want to wait 2 -3 years just to see the pair returns to its original price. Its time wasted. At least in stocks i can get some dividends every quarter.Back then ppl were trading carry trade but then the swap got into negative and several thousand pips in dd.
I want to succeed using pitbull but im at wits end here on how to improve it. I used TA and FA but didnt suits me personally.But if i failed in fx it doesnt matter much since there is still other markets out there which can yield profits consistently . The main function of forex at least now for me is the hedge the stocks and equity in holdings nothing less.
Now if someone tells me of how to actually reduce dd im all ears but please make it simple and practical for the common man thank you... cheers

Any excellent post, you have really voiced what many readers experienced when using this method, and not bothered to write about.

If you are willing to put in that much time & effort to learn that this doesn't work, and no one here can show you it works, what does that tell you you?

We all know the Chinese definition of INSANITY "when you keep doing the same thing over and over, but expect a different outcome?"

Do yourself a favour, come over to Steve's forum and at least read about Nanning Bob method, the threads are active, traders have real profits daily.

Pretty basic stuff, find the trend, trade the trend, it works.

Good luck, see you there

I started trading Brian's method at the beginning of the year. I did find the DD was hard to deal with at times when I was just taking profit and replacing that position. I switched gears several months ago and just traded the basket. (the whole loss profit loss idea) Yeah, the basket may not come all the way back...but it will come back enough to get you in profit if you add when you are down. With some practice it is pretty effective. I just trade the 8 pairs hedging each other (all pitbull pairs except usdjpy and eurgbp) I take counter trend trades off the weekly samir pitbull indi. What I'm saying is....watch the weekly samir....once the basket goes a certain amount of points in one direction...open the basket going in the opposite direction. If it keeps going...add to it (position size a little larger than the first basket)...but be patient. Don't be in a hurry to add to it. When the whole basket is in a profit that looks good to me then I will use the close all script. Depending on how patient you are to open your first basket will effect how many trades a week you get. I usually get 1 to 2 baskets a week and can usually close them out for profit before Friday's close. Try it out and see how it works for you. Sorry chips...don't mean to hijack your thread.

I get what you're saying as it looks good.. but what will happen if the basket returns toward the original state in the first basket (sideways)? Add it with the larger lot from the second basket the DD could be increased. Continuosly adding into the trades could incur overleveraging .Adding further when in dd then you're into martingale borders.
Bear in mind that the basket actually have some significant weights toward a specific pair in the basket, then youre more or less are trading in a specific pair USDJPY since its yen heavy.
This can only work if your basket is actually ranging since DD will be in a very specific limits and do not ever go over its 'box' but i had seen many basket which not seems to be the case.
If the basket is in always profit loss profit loss state than i dont ever need to addon trades risking to destabilise the basket. But i had seen it before in many months it will drift away ..far way .If your wrong of where it drifts you'll know the outcome. I had tested this above 6 months yet still unable to come out to tackle the dd problem. Some ppl just cant grasp it including me. Note that im not biased if this pitbull work/not work but just want to tell you my experience with actual real results.
Thx anyway for your reply.

Oh yes, one more thing.....DO NOT TAKE this post and apply it to a live account without demoing it for a good long time until you get the AHA! moment, cause you are going to lose you money, it is like someone is giving you an aeroplane and you are trying to fly it with no lessons you have to put the demo time.....to understand what is going on.....you have to pay the price.....like in anything in life....nothing is free.....only the best will make it......and there is only one way to be the best.....practice....determination....passion for what you do......

I tried Pitbull with some success. I usually run the pairs couple of hours after the closing of NY time when the market is relatively quiet. A couple of hours after the pairs were set up and running, I will then determine the market bias of the pairs. I also have an imaginary safe "working dd" of 5% of my capital. As long my dd do not exceed 5% I can close a profitable pairs to complete my target for the day. Assuming that I have a demo account of $1000 capital, my target for the first day is 65% of 1% which equivalent to $6.50. For the 2nd day assuming that I was able to closed my first day, the next day target I will compute my 2nd day based on my new capital of $1006.50. I plan to do this consistently for the next 6 month to double my investment.

Most beginners in the pitbull trading tend to be greedy, closing pairs with the highest profit without balancing their inventory. If for example you want to close your highest profit say +50 pips, you have also to close a corresponding pair in the opposite direction say -41, resulting a profit of +9 pips which is above your target for the 2nd day and then reenter them with a higher lot /or lower lot to pull your trades in the direction of the trend. This will tremendously avoid significant dd, while closing your target in a daily basis. Provide more ammunition to your winners and deny it to lossing pairs and your inventory is set to go. Remember not to sit infornt of your computer all day long, once in the morning and another in the evening is ideal.

Try it, demo it, it works for me. Hope this help.

Why these pairs where chosen? If you simplify them, it is like you are buying 5 JPY's, Selling 5 USD's, buying 1 EURO, and selling 1 GBP...

yes , right, but who cares ? if you google for " hedged baskets " you can find other 4-5 examples ,perfectly balanced , with 6 , 8 , 14 pairs .

but is the " how " that you have to discover .

i do the pitbull with 3 pairs only , a currency ring , i feel more safe with less pairs ...
