Do you watch just 1 pair (the one you think will have the best entry) at the start of the hour and keep an eye on psylevels? Or do you have several open at the same time to have options?

I watch several charts throughout the trading day visible on monitors as well as my laptop and other devices.

Then I focus on the charts that meet my criteria and trade only the best of these pairs.

I use psylevels to alert me to multiple potential trade setups for trading 2 or 3 pairs at a time (sometimes I take 3 trades sometimes I take none...)

Hope this enlightens you a little more however deep inside the thread I have mentioned this before although it might be quite an adventure trying to find it!

This may be a stupid question but is there any way to get the MT4 charts out of their small platform window? Do you load multiple MT4s at once?

e/ would you mind posting a screenshot of one of your monitors just to see how you set everything up, I'm curious haha

First of all there is no such thing as a stupid question ....

Secondly, I'm not sure exactly what it is you wish to achieve.

Perhaps you could explain exactly what you want the charts to do and how you want them to display.

There are many options available.....opening multiple instances of MT4, clicking on the "tile windows" icon and adjusting window sizes until your heart's content.

Could you elaborate on what you wish to achieve?

Just wondering if this system can be applied to pairs like XAU/USD

How would you define 00 levels in that case.. and what should be the minimum TP

Thanks

Maybe they will provide more information because the question asked needs further clarification.

Perhaps it was as simple as we think.....

Yes I do trade gold with it however it is modified somewhat due to the spread on gold and other differences.

You will need to adjust the settings on the sweetspots gold indicator so that the price can be seen through the sea of yellow lines including a separate tpl for different TF's you may wish to trade.

TP and SL (usually larger ranges) will require a little fine tuning because its gold but this falls outside the intent of this thread (experiment or PM me if you wish).

Good luck,

Thank you MM!

I was manually backtesting three currency pairs on the weekend for the timeframe of the the last two weeks, marking possible trades according to the system rules. Doing it very carefully on M1 charts in order to spot trailing stops, considering average spread and $7 commission. So it looks that the last week was quite good, while the previous week (27/10 - 31/10) was BE or even losing for EJ and AU.

Udine, Masterrmind, snail69, and everyone who trades actively, have you guys noticed it, was that week worse than average, and the last week better than usual?

The last week traded was high up there in terms of excellent profit gains that's for sure.

What you may notice is that profitability changes from week to week. Some weeks everything falls into place whilst in other weeks it seems to be an ongoing struggle.

This is trading I'm afraid........

What you need to do is to take from the market when its in giving mode and protect yourself when its in "difficult" mode.

Good trading,

Hellow everyone,
Wish you a nice green day !
Here is the first trade i made +5. but Udine, i have a little bit confused question. If you have already answered to this, but pls give me a answer again.
Say, D1 green. the price has been break 1.2600 level and but could not reach 1.2650. Now H1 candle has been formed between 1.2600 and 1.2650. Now where we should place our pending order ? 1.2700 or 1.2600.

In this trade i have done it buy placing it a 50 level. but i think i have a doubt. so i want to make sure this poit.

Thanks in advance

well, if look at the month of June and July, there you see real difficult trading days, weeks... there everybody should have been in survival mode... now its easier, as the ADR's increased... more volatility...

Having said that, it is true that not one day or week is identical, that means you need to be flexible and be happy with what the market is prepared to give you... and be sure to give nothing back...

that means that if there are no great low risk set ups, you should be sitting on your hands... Standing on the sidelines is also a position....

So take each new day as it comes... with PDF & BCC

I know that when I wake up I am able to make money, as long as I stick to my rules with PDF & BCC.... I KNOW my set ups will come, I just need to be ready and take what the market is willing to give me...

cheers

If the H1 candle closes above the 1.26... the pending is set at 1.27

interesting idea.

I played with this strategy for a few days. The result is ok.

BUT, spread comes in as a BIG problem.

For GBPJPY, one stop loss usually means 11.5 pips instead of 10, and I havent even include the 4 dollars commission.

A win however, is usually just 3.5 pips. Since most of time stop limit order dont get filled and I have to use stop order to get in, and gave away 1.5 pips to the broker, and we have to deduct the commission off the profit.

So, we are talking about 3:1 risk reward instead of 2:1. This makes the difference between night and day. As the risk of ruin increases dramatically.

We need to increase the profit target to at least 7 pips instead of 5, but we are reducing the chance to hit the target by doing this.
