chrisbenjy - try trading divergence as an addition, no divergence = no trade, see if that helps

 

Closed part position at middle BB aiming for bottom with remainder.

+100pips on the remaining position, banked profit now

Looking for re-renty - possible head and shoulders forming on 240min chart, and further probable divergence present

chrisbenjy hope u are paying attention to twitter, all this has gone live over the stream in real time :)

 

stopped out of second attempt @ breakeven - could of banked 30pips but decided to let it run to break even or take profit

 

now looking for a third attempt here - we are back at the last entry price i mentioned above @ 1.58, huge divergence present and we still have MA/Round number confluence, flip side to this is we have restarted dollar weakness but i am not so sure about that. this looks range bound to me.

Thanks syk1kz,

 

I will try looking out for divergence.

 

Btw, I have noticed that alot of the trades you take aren't touching the bollinger band. I might try taking trades like this, rather than waiting for it to touch/pierce the bollinger band, because I find a lot of the time if it reaches the bollinger band, it usually hugs it for a few candles and takes out my stop, but I don't want to increase the stop because the R:R will end to being ridiculously tiny.

 

Also, yes, I don't go on twitter much, but I will start to follow your trades on twitter.

next setup i like - I should mention my BB deviation setting is 3 not the default 2 so price may not always reach the top BB but it we compare it to 2 i think 3 shows better outer bands - Personal preference

 

You must of missed that comment, its back one page, if you put it on 3 you will see its not at the top, but change it to 2 and it is, i prefer 3 and can usually tell where the top would be on 2. go back one page and i have uploaded screenshots with noted reasons for using 3 over 2 - Also get tweetdeck if you want realtime updates from twitter rather than using twitter.com which you have to manually refresh. just a faster way to get the trade info since its updated in real time

I took both the trades above just before. Live on the stream. - out of both for a total of -15pips, -25gbpusd +10 gbpchf , its unclear and i have banked about 150pips this week so thats ok.

 

 

Benny where have you run off to ?!?!?!?!?

Sorry guys i'm still here i'm just investigating other strategies at the moment this system is good but for me it's not producing enough signals with the trend etc, saying that, there were signals but not enough to actually get me to enter.

 

I'm still trading this strategy but only with the trend pluss it has to look bloody good.

I hear ya, thats why i post one or 2 setups a week and pick the bread winner in my eyes. Glad to know you have not ditched this, i was starting to wonder

Heres an interesting setup, I can see some confluence with OS on stoch, but look at those BB and where the MA's are. There's is really no possible way to trade this according to the system since the BB are so tight. Looks like a nice setup for a serious breakout to me

I've decided I'm going to slightly modify the way I use the system. I'm going to add another indicator: Envelopes. This is because I find that Bollinger bands are not very influential to price, so I'm going to look at using the combination of envelopes and BB. I'm just currently looking at finding the best period for 4h time frame. (I think the best period is one where candlesticks pop their head out every so often, but not so frequently that trades don't have enough time to breathe)

 

I don't know whether it will improve my entries, but during the investigation stage I will stay optimistic.

Good luck please keep us informed if possible

Subjective, ignoring the middle BB all together here, with this system i trade my own style, i trade what i see rather than what i want to see.

 

*EDIT* stop moved to under the Ma's, which is where it was meant to go
