Flag trading the trend

cancel that

it seems ff internet connection is extremely slow at the moment

long 65 hope market moves

moving stop to plus 1

that was quick the reason I moved is market is moving very slow and it couldn't break 75 before just playing it safe for now

yes slow atm

ok we are in a sideways market unless we get a clear trend I will not engage

when I did backtest in order to get accuracy I used a 1 minute chart I still have it up next to my 18 tick range bar and it seems to help in watching the P A

heres todays price action via the 18 tick range bar pretty sloppy sideways crap

well if it aint there I cant trade it shutting down for today one of those slow days tomorrows another day

yep same here catch up tomorrow

guess I picked a good week to hang out at the beach enjoy reading your all's commentary though

Divergence and Erasmus thank you for the extensive back testing and forward testing you have done. It sure looks promising with a favorable positive expectancy. A lot of work and support has gone into this thread. One should be acknowledged for there time and providing support, clarification throughout this thread. Night all.

When creating a strategy to trade backtesting is paramount. Some say forward testing is the only way to go. Well how can you forward test something till you see if its viable in backtest first. Then the key is to trade exactly how you backtested it and follow all the rules.

this is very interesting. I now have no indicators on my chart .I did add a tma cg to it. ive been lurking around forex factory 3 years and I must say the way you trade is very good so good I joind. this I my first post

good work - similar to 4 aug trade(except short this time):

if price closed above 58 and came back down would we sell here:

yes when you are in a trend and you get a 2b where price in this case makes a HH the spot it did that from becomes the 2b to get back in the trend
