Hello Mr. Breakout, Great result!! how do you find your trades? Do you look at different times? I just found your tread here and am fazed by the indicator-free charts. I would like to learn your visions on the charts. Im here from now on
Thank you for your nice comments Maxie13.

How do I find my trades?

Well, I look at 28 currency pairs (from USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD and NZD) every single day and try to find the best trading opportunity on the 5 or 15 min time frame.

I use zero indicator, just price action, because numerous studies (and my own trading experience) have shown that robust, profitable trading systems have very, VERY simple trading rules. Not only that but they also work in any time frame and (almost) any financial instrument.

I say almost because some financial instruments, like the S&P 500 and other major stock indices do not respond that well to trend-following techniques, due to their mean-reverting nature (see studies by Perry Kaufman for example, in his classic book "Trading systems and methods").

For obvious reasons I cannot reveal the "secret sauce" behind my trading decisions but I will give a few hints now and then, and share some trading ideas and winning setups.

I truly believe that the best way to trade the cable right now is to use its crosses only: GBP/AUD, GBP/NZD, GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD and so forth.

And yes, the Pound is history, next stop is 1.20 very soon, and then the Twilight Zone... Tululu tululu tululu....

ihihihh i hear ya mate ! i luv that , the twilight zone

people believe that just because the pound has been on average at 1.50 against the USD for the last 20 years , it can't break 1.20 now
it can break 1.20 , and for that matter it can beak 1.19 and 1.18 too - down into the twilight zone

Absolutely my friend.

In fact the pound could go to 50 cents or even lower, who knows...

And let's not forget that the cable reached a record low of 1.05 in February of 1985.

well said - maybe 50 cents to the dollar would be armageddon-apocalyptic , but the record 1.05 low could act as a long term target (2-3 years)

in the mid term , it could test the 1.18 level and then bounce back and forth for a while

That's the most probable scenario, yes.

Of course some die-hard bulls will keep buying and buying until they blow up your entire FX (or bank...) account, as the cable goes to parity and beyond...

I am still waiting for that extremely important Reserve Bank of Australia Rate Decision report due at 10.30 PM New York time (3:30 AM in London).

In the meantime I am listening to the famous Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood concert live from the Madison Square Garden, (I was there).

Hope you like it too, all of you Blues lovers out there...

That's all right, you win some you lose some.

So far this week: minus 5 pips, no big deal.
