I wish to say here what I have said in the other thread that I could be both bullish and bearish in one currency. For example AUDNZD long; AUDUSD short. Am using eleven platforms for my backtesting. I don't want to skip some that meet my entry point

Also am avoiding taking correlated pairs. This is because a strong retracement on the correlated pairs could easily wipe account even when our positions and analyses are correct. For example am already bullish in the following GBP pairs: EURGBP, using lower band rejection strategy, EURNZD, EURUSD and today I have entered EURCAD long. They are all in different platforms.

Hello 9jatrader,

if I understand well, this strategy is to wait until we have the stocastic above 80 and to wait until a resistance is broken, then we enter long, or to wait until we have the stocastico below 20 and to wait until a support is broken, then we enter short, right?
I see you use also BB, what is the purpose of them? Which TF do you use? Do you use SL, TP? What is usually your target in term of RR?
Can you please post some charts with clear entry, sl, exit?

Thanks, subscribed!

Hello 9jatrader,

Thanks for the input.

Could you kindly elaborate on the reasoning for your statement if possible with an example. I want to understand why it is so...:

I have shared so many charts in one of my threads, even stochastic-based setup in "Simple and Profitable Trading Style". I have the current EURNZD long position

Hi Okrim,
You got it right when to enter. I use SL, my TP is the last weekly high ( resistance ) for long position; the last weekly low price ( support ) for short position. rYour stop loss should be below the broken resistance- for long position; and above the broken support- for short position. I hope am able to answer all your questions. If there are still other questions send them and let us all learn from your questions.

We don't have to be too picky with SL. Having too tight SL is like having no SL. The SL could be triggered easily even when your analyses are right. Some try to have fixed amount of pips for SL. It's wrong.

You could see now that it's time for EURO. It's dominating for now. If you take all in one platform as they form, by the time they start retracement or even reversal, account may not be able to stand it. All your profits would disappear. And secondly you may be emotionally ready to leave all your positions open even when your analyses tell you that it's just a retracement/adjustment

Here is the GBPUSD I said am waiting for. Stochastic is resting and sleeping on oversold area, and there is nearby support.

If GBPUSD shows up with bullish body, we might have bullish trade. We're approaching a very strong support- daily, weekly and monthly. I will jump in when it has gradually left oversold

Setting previous high for TP would be over 500 pips. I hope I don't miss the bullish move

One of the interesting things about using stochastic on overbought and oversold region is that which ever the direction we follow. That means if it breaks the support while stochastic is oversold we go short. Then failure to break it we have long trade. We should never ignore SL, in case middle band pose as a resistance and send it back to the support area

I would say that one is like a sniper when stochastic gets overbought/oversold and there is a resistance/support,respectively, to be broken

Am just wondering once again why some NZD pairs small movement amount to great pips on the platform. If You would measure GBPNZD, NZDJPY, EURNZD you would see what I mean. See small movement on my EURNZD is over 200 pips
