5 PIPS - Only Five

GBPUSD has reached Resistance 1, then it will bounce off or thrust its way through the level, I don't know. I just stick to HA.
Quoting tyler0315
About an hour ago, sell signal was trigered on eur/usd. But as soon as entering the sell trade, it went upto about 40pips... Did I miss something? Leverging 1:500, I could get margin called... Please correct my misstake if I did something wrong... Thanks in advance. on attached chart, Green is 5EMA 2shift, Black is price.
No mistake, losing trades are part of any Forex activity.
It is a pity that no effort is being made by the supporters of this system to indicate what needs to be done with losing trades. People have a tendency to show off their (fairly uninteresting) winning trades, whereas the (much more interesting) losing trades are not being shown.
If you lose 40 pips, you'll need 8 winning trades to compensate. That's the downside of using a system with small gains and potentially big losses.

Of course.

If someone could, in the real world, show you how to deal with all your losing trades, and show you how to make gains, then they'd disclosing the holy grail.

As we know, the mechanical holy grail does not exist. Hence why the subject is always avoided. Succesfull discretionary trading is ones mans holy grail, and another mans loss.

RHoudini, may I ask how many times you have encountered such a fat-tailed event in your lifetime? YHBT or tyler0315 is yourself? lol
thanks for the thread...very helpful
Sorry to post another 'dull' win, but you can review the analysis of my losing trade last week at post #954.

Anyway, today's winner was a high risk trade against the 200 ema which I usually respect. After reading Dee's paper yesterday, I added pivots to my chart and started looking at HH's, HL's, LH's, LL's. I noticed the EG had formed a HL and a pin bar had visited the daily open followed by price moving through the 5 ema. I couldn't resist entering, but exited when I had a divergence alert.

I'll have to wait until I'm made redundant, shouldn't be too long.
The rookies here on Forex Factory are being treated to a really good trading system here.

The win rate for this system is far better than most of the "main stream" trading systems on this forum.

I have tried it myself, and it works beautifully. But I also like having price action confirmation, a bit like you, Moonie, using pivots and HH and LL's etc. I personally like the engulfing candle, and bounces off support/resistance. With that, you get an EXTREMELY high win rate. Whats more, the support/resistance lines give you a nice safe area to hide the stop loss behind.

Hey Moonie, check out the engulfing candle you traded against (and just won!) back in post #920, the price ended up going 136 pips, and still going, because of that engulfing candles price action!

Thanks tk5, well done with this very simple, but effective trading method, and nice thread.
Hi Timo, I'm a bit weiry about using engulfing candles. They often signal manipulation by the banksters and are followed by a big push the other way taking everybody out. I prefer shooting stars up to a pivot or RN and then confirmation back through the 5ema. Especially when it's confirmed by divergence, my new best friend.

Tyler, I think this method TK has is very good but you cannot follow it blindly, if you have never traded, coming in here and just following signals will get you in trouble. During london session this happens almost every day some days are more exaggerated than others. That is somewhat of a stop run if you ask me. If your not going to go study up and study the market before trading then take at least this from me, if your going to follow TKs method dont take any trades before 3:30 am GMT -5 time. I'm not sure what that translates to where you are but you will avoid fake outs if you wait till after 4:00 am NY TIME. Same goes for NY session dont take trades before 8:30 am. Trust me.

Yes before going in on a trade with high leverage if your not sure just PM the OP and save yourself some money. I personally would not have taken the trade you were mentioning so even though the system called for it, also i would have to look alot more close at your entry, to see if maybe your entry was slow or not good you couldve possibly got 5 pips out of it anyway even though you were selling into a stop run.
Some market sentiments/signals
as of 25 November NY session.

GBPUSD - for the first time it has crossed over ema200 on H1: may lift to 1.60.

AUDUSD - has reached and dropped little below November bottom.

EURUSD - Also licking breaking ema 200 at the moment.

USDCHF - most probably heading to November low of 0.9570

AUDCHF - currently on significant support. needs H4 confirmation for long - if fails may drop little further down

USDJPY - Very downwards looking. with double top. overbought

Hi TK5

mayby there is something i misunderstood, but When Price is above the 200ema on the 1H and above pivot, shouldnt we only be lokning for long trades?

Thanks in advance..
