Master, thanks for suggestion, but i have this problem of systematic data works since i was a kid. i wish i have the talent and diligence to do that. usually in few minutes doing that i will be having headache.

Several shorts have been opened late in the trading window hopefully to show some of the inherent dangers in opening trades late.

Lets see how the trades turn out because this is not what I would usually do trading the live account so I'm hoping it will serve as a good example but we shall see.

Many times the cycles close out nicely but sometimes they do not.

There is a 'nice' little trend developing later in the Asian Trading window and as the chart clearly shows more and more red boxes get printed which continues to add to the current DD.

This is one reason why I suggest NOT to open trades later in the session.

The completion of earlier cycles in the trading window is the way to go ..........

Master, so when You say boxes, they are those small boxes, right ?
i wish the pattern of everyday would be always repeated like today, touching and reversal and then going to the direction ???

can i assume that it is better to take position only at the opening touching and reversal, take whatever happens for few hours ??

thanks Master

Hopefully the posted chart above is what you are asking about.

As the trend continues more and more Quantum signal boxes get painted representing more trades running away from you and as a result the DD escalates and if not managed properly the tiny account will soon be under great pressure even if you are only using 0.01 lots.

Hopefully this example is clear but you should trade such a cycle so you get to feel some of the psychological pain too!

Good thing its on demo but I still don't enjoy seeing the carnage whether it turns out good or bad its the DD that I don't like or want.

Can you now see the reason why I like to take 1,2 or maybe 3 cycles of trades closer to the start of the Asian session and not closer to FF Open.......

Some of these later cycles of trades can really generate alot of profit but the problem is that the DD can get too high too fast and put a very small account under too much pressure.

Yes that's right starpro the slight difference can generate additional boxes and create different results but it can go either way.... its related to the data flow.

I'm trying to keep up with the manual placed entries on 2 brokers at the moment and its not exactly fun.

If 2 brokers (basically the same ,only slight differences) are a problem why not just do 1 , then its up to people to see the Q boxes which should be pretty close to yours .../?

I know the longer term traders familiar with Quantum will understand this DD issue better than most.

My thinking is that I need to show the good and the bad earlier rather than later so the images remain fresh in our minds.

There are techniques that we can employ in our trading to avoid this. the simplest one is to end cycles early and never be tempted to open a late cycle because you run the risk of huge DD.

If the current cycle of shorts closes in profit (which it probably will) it should not be seen as a way to trade ........... unless your account size is very very large but that is not what this thread is about.

Precisely right!

This type of mentality is what destroys accounts not build them.

This thread is more about building them by correctly managing risk not gambling!

Price has reversed now and heading back to the DO line but also started to slow down near the pivot (on 1 brokers data feed anyway not the other) so what I did is manually close out all the trades still in profit.

I monitor price very closely now and look for any signs of strength from the bulls in which case I will close out the last 4-5 trades even if they are a small loss.

The idea is to give price room enough to breathe but not too much because you don't want to give back all that profit!

My plan is exactly that but by using a somewhat risky strategy.

I can tell you that I am up to the challenge!

This thread is to help others who either have small accounts or who only wish to outlay a small amount to trade the Quantum Method.

Live trading (with a TE) will start close to April 1 with an invitation for others to participate if they so wish.

It would be pleasing to see other accounts grow to a level that allows them to trade Quantum on the larger trading sessions because this is where huge pips are made. The reality is that the larger the account the easier it is to manage the DD in this style of trading.
