{quote} Thats it! Udine started this thread with a method that followed Einstein's rule "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler". Trade less, make more and have a fulfilling life other than trading---what more can one ask for! Congratulations on your discipline. How do you teach this? Udine designed burpees.

Hi diallist, first of all thank you for all your explanations, often making difficult topics much more simpler to understand.
Regarding point No. 4, does it mean that you usually trade on M30/M15 timeframes, but in the decision process you zoom down to M5 when it comes to evaluate ASH ? In other words, you go to look in M5 chart if bars in the ASH indicator turn from red to green and the blue line crosses upward the magenta one for a long setup (reverse for a short) ?

Thank you & green pips to everybody,
Bubincka

{quote} Yomi, I want to apologise for my "cheekiness" to ask you in my previous post -- to post your template - it was a moment of weakness on my side. Trust you accept my apology. I will appreciate it if you could clear my mind re the following Do you use a trailing stop at all? Do do sometimes manually exit a trade or do you wait for the BE =+10 or TP=+20 to be hit regardless Are there times that you hit your SL = -20 ? Do you manually exit a trade before the trade reach your SL Regards Kooza
I got a great help from this great thread, but not spoon-feeding. When you build up your system yourself, you will get to know how each of your indicators works, and this will help you a great deal. 95% of the indicators that I am using are from this great thread, and are there at the paper clip, but the one that are not there, ask me and I will be willing to share with setting. I rememmber the position of diallist on this and it help me a lot. To your questions:

1. I do not use trailing stop. ( for personal reason, because I know that my setup/signal will give me minimum of 10pips at a go, because I deal with momentum, volume, and strength at the point of entry).

2. I normally wait for BE. ( I sometimes exit manually, my trades should not takes more than 4 - M30 candles).

3. There are times that my trades hit SL. (but they are few, that is if I practice PDF & BCC).

4. Yes, I sometimes exit my trades before it will hit my SL. ( that is, if the current market sentiment has invalidates my setups).

I hope this helps, but upon all, you need to improve on your money/trade management.

Cheers,
Yomi

Yes, that's pretty much it, but it's not just the ASH indicators on the M5 that I look at; I'm also looking at price action (what has happened over the last few candles vs what is happening with the current candle, along with being aware of nearby SR or pivots or channel boundaries etc. It's not mechanical by any means. But when all appears good to my satisfaction, I simply use the hot keys on the entry scripts to place a pending at the next 00/05.

And, since the 00/05 is merely a line in the sand, as previously discussed by Udine and Robinho, I will sometimes grab the dashed green entry line and move the whole order up or down a bit if I think it needs to be moved in order to clear any obstacles out of the zone between the entry and the target. For example, if a long pending order is placed by the script so that the entry is below a resistance line, and the target is above the resistance line, I'll drag the entry line above the resistance line. In case you haven't tried this yet, dragging the dashed green entry line will also carry the dashed stop and target lines along with it, preserving your RR. The stop and target lines can be dragged independently.

I'll frequently move the target line up another five pips if momentum is strong to eek out a few extra pips, but I'll keep my finger on the mouse to be ready to close the trade manually if after going past 5 pips profit, price starts to reverse.

As to moving the stop... I never move the stop because 10 pips already makes a big enough hole to have to dig back out of. Why would I want to make more work for myself?

Hi Udine!
You were right about Capello, he made from dissent Russian team the worse Russian team ever. Why they pay him 7 mil euro a year…have know idea. Something is going on there we are not allowed to know I guess. We can only watch from the sidelines.
Get well and good luck with commercial area.
