Good day guys. Only came by to say thanks for good time here in Igrok's thread while exploring the markets. Gained experience, met interesting people but I think it is time to make a step forward and start playing my own rules. As you may already have seen, some of my numbers and entry points have nothing in common with Igrok's strategy. I have started reducing the rules of Igrok's techniques and little by little adding my own thinking. By now I have totally changed my trading tactics and am using them in my everyday trading.

I will most likely be around here on FF but you can always contact me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/MrC/197693770247397) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/MrC_Forex). If I have time - I am always open for discussions, not only about trading.

Wish you a good luck, lots of good mood and happy trading!

Hi is anyone still following this thread? Trading the Igrok method or a variation with success? The concepts of the method seem well founded. I have been working on some indicator variations that could be helpful and could use some feedback. What is working in our current market conditions?

everything is still working. But intraday ranges are too short for safe trading based on ID templates.

So it is hard to get a respectable RR intraday? Do the mid and long term trades hold true to the templates? I think we can have indicators for the range templates if they can be of worth. An EA could follow if they can be dialed into the current market.

What ever happened to Igrok? Is he still trading?

I don't know the reason, but catch stop loss too often in intraday trading now. Most probably reason is me.
You will find some indicators during studying this thread. Some of them are really useful.
"An EA could follow if they can be dialed into the current market." - sorry, didn't catch the idea, as my English is too poor.
Hope Mr.Toschakov is writing now more than trading.

Hello, I also am finding intraday challenging. The static in the market seems to be higher that when the method was developed. Getting a decent risk return after the spreads are factored is rare. I have been catching a few of them. The respect for the shorter term trend lines seems diluted. The stop losses on the longer time frames can get pretty brutal on a small account from the money management standpoint.

I have modded one of the indicators that looks like the one on Alex'a chart above to adjust for The Asian start and to show targets based on Hi/ Low and Average range. It can also calculate PL potential based on the current prices with the spreads factored in to do a quick evaluation. Would be happy to share if anyone is interested. I am not a pro programmer so no guarantees. We can develop further as needed.

Alex thank you for the feedback. Could you please add some notes so I can follow you better?

Igor are you still following this thread? Love your work. Feel like your help and feedback would be very welcome. It would really like to know how you have adapted to the current conditions.

Hi!
IW trading is much easier and resultative now. For intraday i use only GBP/JPY.
Don't know why.
As i have strong feeling that didn't catch the main idea of method, starting to read the thread and book once again.

I have been seeing a lot of trend line breaks that to not hit any trend line or range targets and re trace back to the trend line. It seems as if the market is sweeping up the stops around the trend lines. This action is stopping out the template trades. How can we make this profitable?

The day on this chart is NY time. I calculate the day from the Asian start.

Thank you Alex.

The GBPUSD diamond broke up? The MM indicated down. Was the trend too flat going into it?

Apologies if this is a odd question. I have read this thread up to post 315 and the book 2X. I see many diamonds here with only two touches on the left triangle. I thought the rule is three touches to establish a trend line. Have I missed something?

You have been here a long time Alex III. Many seemed to have jumped ship. Are you trading Igrok's method or parts of it? I would love to hear you views on the evolution.

Thank you for your time.

PS I noticed Amazon has the next book up for pre-sale Jan 2015

Hi All

Just to say I really appreciate this thread

I trade Igrok's method, mostly technical formation templates and they still work fine (see no reason why it could have changed ). The thing I currently work on is position sizing: scaling in and out of the trade, which I consider most challenging.

With rgds to the book I can see it also to be released in April 2015 so I think it is difficult to say when it will finally show up on shelves.

I'm trading method Igrok, but my basic error is the correct drawing lines
