Genesis Matrix Trading

{quote} You're probably right. I'm pretty tight trying to get a good R:R What type of ratio are you guys typically shooting for.
1:1 is fine for M1 in my opinion...........as long as it doesnt become an exit criteria/target.
If trading Tokyo/London reward is usually alot higher

So as promised, here was my next trade. ASCT was good on the higher 30 and was green on 5 when entered. Matrix and stochs were good. Had recently come of DP. The better entry (in terms of results) came at the blue line...after I went to bed. Stochs weren't perfect on the blue line though. IMO Thoughts? {image}
Just had a look at your chart on my platform
BRN 15100 was 12 pips below the DP, which was tested by the spike down that took you out.
Had you taken that into account, you would have had approx 35pip SL, which is alot considering how far out from LO you were and current PA.

CT.....hard to say......stop to BE is my advice or TP anytime you like........ My exit plan when in "no man's land" is whenever. DP is a long way off.
No I didn't take the trade and watching GA decided not to go against major move either.

Hi

Hi jjre65, thanks for your comment too!

Well, I am not a M1 trade and the trade was based on m5. I saw the M15 and M30 stochs looks good and just enter...I am not sure whether it is CT or not?

My target is BRN.
Luckily I exited..

{quote} You're probably right. I'm pretty tight trying to get a good R:R What type of ratio are you guys typically shooting for.
If you can improve your entry to an extent that your win-loss ratio gets very good, then the R:R (whether it is 1:1 or 0.8:1) isn't that big of an issue, in my opinion, as you'll get enough winners that run pass your initial target prices.

What matters is your overall R-multiple, or roughly a combination of your risk reward + win-loss ratio. One impacts the other, so you can never really look at it separately. You can have a strategy that has low R:R but high win-loss ratio that works, or the other way around a low win-loss ratio but high R:R (but you'll need very strong mental strength for this).

So the ultimate goal is to get so good at Genesis that you improve the win-loss ratio and risk:reward at the same time, to get a high R-multiple strategy.

Good analysis J - if the SL is too expensive or you don't feel comfortable with the amount of risk - don't trade. Wait for the next train to come along - there's always.....always another one coming your way.

Good Call Gold Miner. I was in the midst of typing when you posted that. I was gonna say target the range that developed around 1:30 pm EST. Some news must have hit or something cuz most pairs have jumped immensely... except GU :S

Its a CT against a very strong trend
For Genesis 5-15 your M5 stoch was to low for a CT, with only a handful of pips to BRN 17100

It was a good CT for an M1 trader, with moderate expectations..............but not a 5-15 trade in my book.

Cheers J.

Hi PM1, hope you had a nice xmas etc!

The lead up to LO always feels like a 'jockey for positioning' going on.............its often wishy washy and not trustworthy, especially on not a full set of signals and stochs.

Good to see you

haha I chicked out after I saw the huge run-up. jjre65 is right about it being a risky counter trade but it was good for 10ish pips and would have been good for a 1R return.

If anyone was watching USD/CHF that would have been a killer trade 20/20 hindsight of course I really need to keep focus. It is really my worst problem at this point. Sitting and waiting for a setup then getting distracted reading etc. I find alot of trades set up right at or before Tokyo open and US open. Yesterday was a prime example during US open. To bad I was working.
Buy GJ @ 171.374
SL: 171.258

Everything Positive -- m15 stoch decent.

Initially targeting recent highs for quick scalp.....will see how it goes.

I think CT can always give you some pips. just have to be alert. Try and manage your time again?
