{quote} Yes here are my results for may with a graph and current open P/L {image} {image} Here is the graph for Feb 1st 2016 to May 31st 2016 {image} I started in Feb with an account at $18,000.00 and at one point if I had closed all open trades I would have had $30,000.00 Currently I am sitting at $14,600.00. Not sure what happened really following rules... I can only assume I am leaving trades too long and not closing at the right time. I will try for at least another month and see where I am at. Chris
Here are the graphs for June 2016 and one showing Feb 2016 to June 2016

I stopped trading on June 23rd for obvious reasons.
I have started closing more aggressively and added a Hurst indicator to filter trades and I attribute these changes to the positive results this month.

No open trades presently

What if you counted the area between two MAs, and then made the trade decision by comparing up/low swings? Oh, actually I already tested this on mt5, every tick 2011-2016. Has anyone came up with this idea before?{image}

Hi, interesting approach. Could you elaborate or explain more of the process (2 MAs and comparizon) please?
Thank you

{quote} Hi guys In my previous post I talked about finding the right period for our MAs by using previous wave and sometimes waves (bottoms/tops) by the means of symmetry. Now I'm going to show this with some pics. First we need to pay attention to previous wave or trend. It might be an uptrend or downtrend, it doesn't matter we just want to set our MAs according to its tops (if it's a downtrend) or bottoms (if it's an uptrend). While we're doing this we try some numbers so that we can find the right one that fits the top or bottom. What's the right...

Hi, Dreamliner,
I have really enjoyed your analogies to flying a plane; I think you and I think alike because I have at times compared mine to an F14 as it lifts off the support of the carrier. Have you ever watched one; as the wheels leave the carrier, there's a drop towards the water as the air craft takes flight.
My question is on when you trade. It sounds like your job keeps you away from your computer quite a bit, as mine does. Do you live in the states or abroad? How often do you fly? I imagine you live abroad because I believe I read that you use Oanda. So many brokers won't register folks in the US. I live in Oklahoma, by the way.

I agree with you, I've never had any luck with an EA but I'm experimenting with entry orders which requires a lot of guess work. Do you have any suggestions on that? My strategy has similarities but is different, but I'm picking up a lot of great tips from you. Ours are similar in that there is very little window for the entry and it's where it gets frustrating.
From reading some of the posts here, I want to encourage folks to find a strategy and stick with it. When you bounce from one idea to another, you're just giving your money away. I like what you have said about the range movements and especially during these times, you will have loses, but keep them small and capitalize on the strong trends. Many times, a loss is emotional and we start looking for another strategy. We all must learn to accept losses; the trick is to keep them smaller than the successes.

Dreamliner, I am in AW of what you do. I HATE to fly; I just don't do it enough to get comfortable; each flight is a nail-biter. But I particularly HATE dealing with TSA. My goal in trading is to bring in enough income that I can charter a small jet to fly privately anywhere I want to go. That's what I'm working on.

God be with you in this ridiculous world these days. I wish you safe flights.

I think , it is time to say THANK and share the picture... I modified some part of the idea and it is work for me : I use the D1 TF and all the position is the same size, and I add a second trade for each position with a target and the first one still open...I put also 2 indicator's plus the MA ( for the definition what is the uptrend and the downtrend, in reality you can take any value for the MA but you have to have to respect you direction definition for the market... no need to look any pull back for adding position, only definition the step bethween each of them ( you need to be confortable with , in my case I add each positions ( 1 with no target and the second with the before the next position you wan to add...)
I also trade with real money with the nano lot... I started 2016-03-30 with $250 now I have a balance of $684.51 and an equity around $740... not bad if you think % from the bank give you...

Sorry for my English...

Have a nice day and alot of green pips

If I may, I'm going to ask you some questions:

 

  1. Have you been following strictly his rules? (Same TF, etc.)?
  2. How are you managing the stop-loss levels?
  3. Do you have your account linked to any tracking website?

Thanks.

when i started with £500 , my first order was at 0.1 lot then at 0.03 for pullbacks, once profits banked, i moved to 0.2 lots entry and 0.1 on retrace.
you will lose some ,or many, but when you win ,you'll win big thats the principle.

Hardly hear from Dreamliner now .... would love to have some fresh input from the originator of this tread. I have enjoyed reading about the HFT method and have engaged in using it in my trading - Dreamliner's comments on the methodology helped shape and tame my emotional mentality towards the market and I appreciate it immensely - thank you Dreamliner for this tread!
