fxeasy5 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi fxeasy5, I am not sure if I should disclose my success-rate because this ususally leads that people think that they must achieve the same .... - but let's say it is little bit above 50%.... Risk % per trade is no prob: 2% per Trade Potential Risk/Reward is mostly 1:4 I trade real money for a little bit less than 1 year and demo for 2 years. I firstly started trading profitably for about 1.5 years ago This is the meat I was asking for. :)Ā In regards to the fact that you donĀ“t show us live-stats , I take it for granted that you neither brag nor lie to us and now you certainly have my attention.Ā Thanks for sharing your strategy with us. =D> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfxfx Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi fxeasy5 - Regarding the live-stats: It is a psychological thinggy (I make myself unneeded pressure and therefore do not react as I normally do when I trade) and has an other reason too (In fact I did this already earlier and had my bad experiences,...).Ā CheersĀ fxfxfxĀ More to follow - I am still at work...Ā This is the meat I was asking for. :)Ā In regards to the fact that you donĀ“t show us live-stats , I take it for granted that you neither brag nor lie to us and now you certainly have my attention.Ā Thanks for sharing your strategy with us. =D> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonimemonic Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi, Just my point. Can we concentrate in the system itself in order to not make an endless tread here ?

fxfxfx Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 OK folks,Ā I am @home and start to continue :-)Ā Please understand that during my work-time I am not willing to write any chapters as my focus is my work and my trading.Ā I started in the pre-thread a homework which I want that the users do this.Ā Here a copy-paste:Ā Find here a chart of todays GBPUSD 4 hourly-(naked)chart: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/7900/usdjpy240.gifĀ Then draw swing high and swing lows (peaks and valleys) from the last 2 BIG moves (up-move followed by down-move or vice versa): http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/797/usdjpyswings240.gifĀ And finally draw horizontal trendlines starting from the swing-point to the right like here: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2857/usdjpytrendlines240.gifĀ And do not worry about right or wrong - It does not matter.Ā Please do not use a gbpusd 4 hourly chart (As I did it already)Ā You can use every tradeable stuff (big stocks, indices, comodities, currencies) 4-hourly and longer...Ā Look how the price reacted to these line(s) and post your pics and comments.Ā CheersĀ fxfxfxĀ Find here a useful doc how to draw the trend-lines: http://www.multiupload.com/HRZAV085S1Ā All the thanks goes to soundfx - The author of this doc :)Ā I already have the homeworks of: crips, soundfx, harry007, grooter and izogrey -> It is up to you if you want to make another one ;)Ā For those who already made the homework comes the 2nd part:Ā When you "saved" your homework in a profile -> good ! If not -> Bad -> You have to draw them again .... learningfx, domonkos, phoender and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfxfx Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Last homework was to draw the the swings of the last 2 major moves. Please start with beginning of the FIRST major move on the left.Ā Follow the 1st impulsive swing -> Then usually a retracement-swing -> Followed by an impulsive swing,....Ā Then one of these 2 things will happen:Ā 1) A swing occurs and the next swing will close above/below the start-point of the swing before -> If this happens then make this line in a different color.Ā 2) An impulsive swing is followed by a retracement-swing the next impulsive swing fails to go above/below the last impulsive swing and finally closes above/below the end of the last retracement-swing.Ā Maybe a pic can explain this better: http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/6871/trendchange.gifĀ Hope to see more pics of you...Ā CheersĀ fxfxfx Edited June 6, 2011 by fxfxfx ā izogrey, nnn123 and learningfx 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfxfx Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi harry007,Ā I personally watch at 5-7 pairs.Ā But I started with 1-3.Ā Maybe it is also a good idea when you focus at the beginning to 1-3 currencies. When you find your rhythm (in Terms of drawing these lines/updating these lines on a regular basis) and you are trained and skilled - then you can extend the amount of pairs ;)Ā CheersĀ fxfxfxĀ the white line is the break of the trend if price close below at uptrend or above in downtrend, the arrow show the new direction and the TradeĀ http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc381/harry4xx/?action=view¤t=eu_h4_june07.gifĀ Ā Ā Ā hmm, not so many to trade at one pair , how many pair you trade FXFXFX? harry007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alright Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 alright: What is the actual trend of e/y 4hourly ? According to what you showed us, the trend would appear to be UP, although it also looks rangy at the moment as the latest 2 swings, both high and low, are inside the previous bigger one. So a new higher high above 117.80 is required to officially confirm an uptrend.Ā P.S. - I like this exercise. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfxfx Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi alright,Ā Good to see that you learned to see the market in this way ;)Ā What you see now is a very strong resistance-level as price tried to breach this level many times - We also see that we have higher lows (which shows pressure to the upward side). We won't see anything spectacular until the price CLOSES significantly above the last swing-high OR below the last swing low.Ā One question alright: Where do you think price will go once price closed above the last swing-high-level ?Ā CheersĀ fxfxfxĀ According to what you showed us, the trend would appear to be UP, although it also looks rangy at the moment as the latest 2 swings, both high and low, are inside the previous bigger one.

fxfxfx Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi crips,Ā What can I say, except: Wow - You did it really fast :)Ā The last thing to do is to determine now the trend (trend-changes) at the daily-timeframe - As we did it for the 4 hourly :)Ā CheersĀ fxfxfxĀ Here is my homework on D1 tfĀ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/eud1pachart.gif/Ā RegardsĀ Crips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grooter Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 GJ D1. Looks like a range, per your definition I should say uptrend? So H4 down, D1 up.Ā Since we have a bottom with so many lines, there would be quite some support here.Ā http://i56.tinypic.com/f2iw6c.gif fxfxfx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
