Yes, there are some good signals that have already formed and I have already entered. It should be a pretty exciting week.. At least I hope so
Quoting Donatello
Haha...good one! Actually I'm risking 2% per trade, based on a 20 pip stop loss. So my risk is still very reasonable, at least I think so. Yeah as my account grows, I want to lower my risk to 1% risk per trade based on a 20 pip stop loss. Thanks for the concern and well wishes though. I soak it all up like a sponge.

I'm done trading for the day now and the week also. I surely can't wait until the days when I don't have to scalp and can sit back and chill like you have been. I think next week will provide some signals for you to pounce on....

I still find myself missing trades sometimes and it has everything to do with my just looking at my chart without looking for anything in particular. It is also very irritatating!!!! I think the next thing that this system needs is a little checklist that I can look at when I have a chart open to help me determine and hopefully not miss, trading opportunities.I hope everyon has a relaxing weekend.Live Life Large,Dust

Well, I have had a lot of things to take care of today, so I have not had a chance to really post anything so far, but I am in a few really nice trades. Hopefully they will continue to fill some full swings. I think that the next thing that I want to do is make a checklist of specific things to check off when I open up my charts. This will keep my from spacing out and make my search for a pair to trade as efficient as possible. For, as I check teh charts a few times throught the day, I really only want to view them for a few minutes to first determine if a trading possibility even exists. If one does, I can take care of business. If one doesn't, I can close my charts and go enjoy some other part of my day!I will also be in the hospital getting my last chemo treatment. I will be there for a month, and I don't know if I will be able to access any live charts when I get there. I am still trying to find a way to work with them where they will let me recieve this information. Time will tell.Live Life Large,Dust

Glad to hear that you are still doing well. If you don't mind, what are the trades you are in and what is their floating profit/loss?

I will send my prayers to you and your family during your upcoming chemo treatment. My personal advice would be don't even worry about having access to your charts during that time. Focus on your health as that is the most important thing in the world. The market will be here and that will not change. Once you are back to 100% then you can get back on your trading.

I would much rather see you get done with chemo treatment and get back to being as healthy as possible even if that means you can't post for a month or longer. It's your life so you will do what you want and what you feel you can handle but I just figured I would share my thoughts with you.

Either way, I will be praying for you and your family and know that you will be back in no time ready to take more money from the market.

As for me, I finished last week with a profit of 32.75% gain and so far this week (only traded on Monday) I'm up 5.96% profit. I was unable to trade last night as I wanted to get as much sleep as possible because I went to a job fair and I wanted to be well rested so I missed trading this morning also. I plan to get back to my routine tonight.

Pulling for you to reach all your goals this year. Chat with you later.

Hello... I know I have not been around much. But I will be leaving for the hospital soon and I also have started my semester of school, so I probably won't be around much. IF anyone were doing this today it is possible to be up some really huge percentages after today's moves. I think while I am in the hospital I should really figure out how to put this into an EA, at least one that opens up trades and makes entering them easier.. as I think it is a good one. Very nice moves today and I even missed many as I was not around to set some orders. Man I love this trateggy!Happy Trading!Dust

Here is a trade off my trend line that I won't take as I do not think that I am close enough yet to my upper channel line. The biggest thing with this stratedgy is patience. Patience to be out of the market and not feel like you are losing money. It is somthing that I have struggled with for years.. I always felt like I had to be in the market. Now I would rather be out unless I am sure it is time to go in. I still struggle with this from time to time, but I can't with this stratedgy, or it is possibe to pick the highs and lows to early.Why can I not upload any charts?well my example was of nzdusd short

Attached an EA to make easier the setup to trade.

The only thing you have to do once a setup is about to be clear, plot an horizontal line on chart at the place you want the EA to enter the trade when price will broke it.

Important : the "name" of the line must be "buy" or "sell" according the position it is on chart.

The EA will also set a SL at 70% of the ATR. This is default but you can change it ... or even use your own TP/SL pips values.

Once a trade is opened, the line is removed. When a new setup is coming, plot a new line at the right place. At the break, the EA will close the previous trade and open the new direction.

Hey FerruFX:

Thanks so much. I finally got the hospital I am staying at to be able to get internet to my MT4 chart. I don't know how much I will feel like posting while I am in here, but I will play around with this nice little number that you have put together. It sounds absolutely perfect.

I will be in touch, but this is an awsome addition to this trading style! You Da Man

things are going great. I am over the hump, and am just about ready to get out of here. It might still take a bit to get all my energy back, but looks like I have come through with flying colors. Thanks for stopping by!

Hey FerruFX:

I am not getting it to open up trades. I have been feeling pretty curmby up until today, so I didn't mess around with it very much to see why. It also seems that the lines disappear after a little while.

I am doing pretty good manual trading and I still really like this alot. I have even simiplified it a little so I don't have to worry about drawing trendlines, etc. The last two weeks saw me in some great daily chart trades taht were open for a pretty long, fair amount of time.

Unward and upward!

Great to see you back here !

Did you named the trend line correctly for the EA to recognize it ?

Hello:

It has been a while. Can you believe that I don't even remember what this thread was about? LOL! Just thought that I would drop in and let everyone know that i am now going on my 1 year follow up for being cancer and tumor free. Woo Hoo for me. Maybe someday I will start another thread with what I am doing, but for now, I a just enjoying a break from just about everything except my charts.

Best wishes to all of you and I hope that everyday, you have a reason to laugh and smile

What a great name for a thread!

Dust!

Thanks FerruFX: That is some advice that I will take from you

One question. On using this EA, does the buy and sell have to be in quotations or can I just put the buy or sell without quotes.. thanks
