Hi Guys,

One question about the strategy, on the re-entry after a candle close, what is the stop loss?

Thanks

{quote} you would still put re-entries on every opposite candle (with the lower price) and enter the trade when the when SMA would cross the candle, like you would with Dreamliner's idea?
To be clear I do not use the SMA at all. I only use the NLD indicator and Buy on a change from Red to Blue and Sell on a change from Blue to Red.

As for secondary entries, for the first two or three I only add on another position if all the positions before it are in profit. This protects against a tight ranging market condition near the initial entry and having too many open positions with SL's that have not been raised to BE +2 pips.

Ideally, as the market trend moves with your position all of your entries will have had their SL's moved to BE +2 pips, so that your only risk will be the new add on secondary position's SL.

Hopefully, this helps to clarify your question.

GREEN pips to one and all.

The SL for any of the add on secondary trades would initially be at the previous swing high or low. Then once the market has moved in its favor enough move the SL to BE +2 pips.

GREEN pips to you my friend.

i see the members participating in this style of tradeing are obviously big account holders and this method would not suit people with small accounts ,i trade live and have 1100 dollars held in margin for every trade i place so if i have 5 trades placed during the couse of the trend i would have $5500.00 held in margin which would make the trade untenable for me as the risk would be far to high

Actually, my proof of concept account is only $1,000 and it handled this method just fine at .01 Lots per trade across 15 different pairs on both the H4 and Daily time frames for the last two plus weeks.

GREEN pips to you Good Sir.

I appreciate what you are saying and i do not doubt the validitty but the point i was trying to get through is that i trade to live and this is not a hobby for me so for this to suite me i would have to have an account that is exponancially larger than the one i use at the moment and this i would suspect would apply to everyone else tradeing for a liveing.

Hi SmoothTrader,

I'm still trying to make the NLD work for me and so far with mixed results leaning more to the loosing side of things, regretfully.

How would you trade this EU chart, please? Only color change? Where would you add to the position? And what do you do on a consecutive color change (r-b-r or b-r-b)?



Thank you.

hi all i am using the daily chart only. Yes that was the current open p/l when posted. What i was thinking of implementing and have started today doing, is closing half the trade at 1000 points (100 pips). I have a stop on the first trade only at a safe level but haven't been placing stops on secondary trades. I think what i may do is if trend starts getting extended maybe setting be to all trades. I have put a psar on the charts and am looking to see if it would work to stop placing trades or closing all trades if price starts hitting the dots....
means u use daily chart. Then see psar . If 34 sma trand and psar is opposite u open an order along with 34 sma with stop loss 100 pips. This true

{quote} A couple of questions come to mind. Why did you choose the 12 Hour time frame as opposed to a Daily or 4 Hour time frame?
Hi SmoothTrader!

Thank you for your hints!
I'm using 12h because it swings nicely and cTrader webversion has it.
Mostly I preffer 8h chart because it fits to my daily schedule.

How you trade the NLD, when it is repainting?

With Regards,

SP

The NLD does not repaint after the candle has closed, so that is why I do not take a signal until the open of the next candle.

How do you like the cTrader platform?

GREEN pips to you Good Sir.

Perhaps , you are emphasizing the three taps point? Along with cross of EMA, also confirm the three taps? Am i right? What would be precise definition for three taps?
