dirtydan Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Here is a trade that I got into and was able to exit this week for a profit of $2500 with all three positions combined. October was a very good month I was able to trade 100% for the month of October. This sounds amaxing but for the whole month I only took 4 trades and was able to profit without any indicator only price action. I hope this method helps now only if I could find a nice scalping system lol. \m/ http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6065/yenv.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason_za1 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Hi DirtyDan Thank you for posting your system. Forgive my ignorance but can you please explain how and WHEN you placed your trades below... that is, after you replotted the 2nd (RED) fibo lines, do you wait for the price to hit the 50 then the 61.8 on the way down and place the trades or wait for price to head up again. Also, where do you place your stoploss? http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/8118/yen.gif Thanks again \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I place my stoploss at the 100% of the white fib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_za1 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Hi DirtyDan I've been using your system and enjoying the benefits of this kind of manual trading using fibs. Can you please explain more about your system? Also can you please say if their are any other indicators you use for entry / exit? Thanks again!

AWESOME Bro ... :-bd One more thing Bro, Did you use a Bigger Timeframe such weekly, daily, H4 to determine the Longer term Trend , so you have confidence the movement in H1 for this trade only open BUY or SELL Only ? If Yes how did you determine the longer term trend, Are you use such EMA 20 in Daily or SMA 10 in Weekly, etc ? or you do not use them just only simple breakout of the white fibs as your clue, where the market will be heading on .

Need your advice Bro; ... Thanks Bro Dirtydan; :shand: I usually fib the daily over the weekend to see set ups for the up coming week. I fib the daily and enter on the hourly. I have never been able to trade with ma's or stuff like that. I like fibs because of the accuracy and because stop loss and take profit levels are pre determined and there is no guessing needed and I usually get the most pips possible from my trades. The only drawback is that sometimes you only get 1 to 3 trades a week but the amount of pips make up for it. For example I had only 4 trades last month but I was able to take 723 pips without having to check on it every 5 minutes. I will look for one of my setups and I will post it (if I find one) just to give an example and show how long it takes. :-bd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuekhatsu Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal @ Dirtydan; Thanks a lot Bro :shand: 100% Agree with you; & for me is good to take a little trade but profitable rather many trade but to much losse.

dirtydan Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Hello Kuekhatsu I am glad you are seeing the big picture you will see it pay off big time especially when you can just look at a chart and be able to see a good trade set up. Thanx for updating everyone on how the trade is going. So how does it feel to trade without any indicators or having to worry about which way the trend is going? Even in a downtrend price moves up so how do we really know what the trend is and how do we know when its going to stop. I figure trading has enough stress why worry about all the other things when you don't have to. Kuekhatsu would it be better for me to post some shots of weekly fibs and daily fibs or should I show them sperately? I forgot to mention to make sure you put your first 2 positions stop loss at positive 10-15 pips and your last one at least 20 pips so at least if it retraces at least you still got 45-50 pips. Never let a winning trade turn into a loser plus if it retraces you can always enter again and you will still be in profit.\m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there one error? Best regards, C@sh The reason I use the 76.4 instead of the 78.6 is becasue I want to make sure I get in at this level no matter what so I use a number a bit lower than 78.6 to ensure I will get in especially with setting orders I can set them to get in exactly at the 76.4 and it usually wont matter with the spread. :-bd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
