3 targets drawn & the 3rd about to be hit. Doesn't get any simpler. AND. Only 1 simple indicator in sight. Trading a retrace against the trend to boot. {image}

If this is an indicator could you please share it.

The blue lines are the "HalfTrend" indicator.
The rest are hand drawn.

Another Idea {image}
I have changed another indicator to show 3 circular pairs behaviour compared to look back period. I believe it gives interesting insights:

Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: EURUSDDaily.png Size: 46 KB


The first indicator shows how much money to be made or lost using eurusd, eurgbp, gbpusd, using weighted lots (second indicator shows the weights).

Default calculation of the first indicator is (using the second indicator weights:
Buy EURUSD
Sell EURGBP
Sell GBPUSD (balanced circular logic)

So when the first indicator is below 0, you are supposed to
Buy EURUSD
Sell EURGBP
Sell GBPUSD

When the indicator is above 0, than just the opposite.

Just play with the DaysBack value (daily TF only)

Please give your thoughts...

Thanks

A strategy with mix of hedging and martingale.

I believe there are thousands of strategy out there that can tell you when to open a trade.

The challenge is where do you put your stop loss and take profit?

Most Traders lose because they have a very tight stop loss and a lot always missed the chance to exit before the market start reversing.

So I believe if we can solve the SL and TP problem then we are on the right track.

Here's the Solution:

No Stop loss
Use Hedging
Use Martingale
Proper Exit Strategy



Exit Strategy:
1#Close all winning positions on new signal.
2#Close all winning and losing positions when overall P&L is positive on new signal.
3#Close all winning and losing positions @ 1% equity Take Profit. (Keep it at 1% or lower, higher target means higher risk)


Martingale alone will kill you, but if you add hedging to the picture along with a good entry signal then you can beat the bad side of martingale.
If you add a filter before you open a position that's double the size of your losing trade then martingale works like wonders.
E.G. Only opening double the size of the losing trade if the next signal is in line with MA 200. Refer to the image below.


-The green and red box is a non-repainting indicator used as an entry signal for this scenario. (There's a lot there E.G. ASCTrend)
-Lot size will only increase if the signal closes above or below the 200MA
-The image follows the exit strategy condition 1 and 2.
-Lot size will return back to 0.01 when all trades are closed, starting a new cycle.
-The higher the martingale the faster you can get to the 1% target profit.




The image below explains the concept:

Thanks for sharing.

I think your post is not a reply on the Stop Hunting idea.

Based on my experience, pure martingale (not averaging in) is evil.
hedging on the same pair is useless.

Martingale + Hedging = useless evil.

I just updated the image to better explain my concept.

System Idea : Stop Hunter

Example 1: by soultrader

"
My own strategy for hunting stops goes like this.


Look for a trend that has stalled for a while - what was the direction of the trend prior to the stall?

lets say it was long

then price stalls for a good while, like 2 days on a 30 min chart stuck in a range. The longer that range lasts the better as the more stops will be building below the range.

look for the range to start moving up then place entry orders below the range by about 10 pips.

what usually happens is that you get a pop high and then people enter, orders enter etc long - they put even more stops below the range - price retraces to below the range to take out the stops - yours to enter long is one of them and you get taken in. as the stops are hit price may drop somewhat up to 25 pips from the range - if it does more than this then beware. mostly you'll then get the pop high again for you to take your money.

Voila the stop hunt.

Hi guys,
my strategy is using market profile and orderflow to guess where the big players (banks, ...) are active. I publish these levels everyday here on ForexFactory. You can subscribe and follow my levels and see how profitable it is! I started giving these levels for free since begining of September. You can see the results here:

System Idea : Twisted PSAR.

PSAR is a lagging indicator.
This is a raw idea of fading PSAR and exit on opposite signal.
System can be improved by applying ATR-based SL.

Entries can be applied in both directions (i.e. enter a sell on close of buy). However Pips calculation shown on chart is for 1 direction only (buy).
