The Monday Accelerator

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago we did a thread on trading to the weekly pivot on GBP/CHF. The trade will usually open and close on Monday, thus the new name "The Monday Accelerator"

There is one trade a week. Of the 4 weeks we had three trades open and win, and one trade that did not open.

It has been suggested that we try it with pairs other than GBP/CHF, something I have never tried. Thus the name change to the thread.

So starting tonight when the Weekly Pivot prints we are going to try it on 2 or 3 pairs.

One will always be the GBP/CHF for use as a base line. Tonight I thought we would try the AUD/JPY as well. If you have pair you would like to see let me know. Just bear in mind that pairs known for their explosive volatility work best.

 

You can refer to the original thread for some backround information.http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/17399-gbp-chf-weekly-pivot.html

The Weekly Pivot has just printed on GBP/CHF at 14475. Price is currently at 14434...

less than 50 pips away. There is no GAP. So far the weekly low is 14418. I would like to see price make a lower low so I can place an entry order at 14425 with a TP of 40 pips ( a 10 pip buffer before the Weekly Pivot ). I hope price does not go right to the WP ( this is what we will call the Weekly Pivot from now on ).

 

 

AUD/JPY : The WP on AUD/JPY is at 9404. Price is currently at 9347 so we have 50 pips to enter a buy toward the WP. We have a GAP which happens to be 9328, also the daily pivot. I will set the entry order AFTER price has filled the GAP and hit the daily pivot.

 

( BTW you can have MT4 send an email to your cell with price alerts ).

As I feared, GBP/CHF ran away from us and went straight to the WP.

In the past there have been times when it was thought I was a bit too conservative by my peers. But I made a vow years ago never to chase a trade. There's more where that came from.

 

 

Meanwhile back at AUDJPY headquarters, It's not doing anything that makes me feel warm and cozy. It is moving toward the WP, just not as directly as the GBP/CHF. I'll have to give this one more time to get to know it. We will hold it over for next week. I would also like to add EUR/AUD and my old friend GBP/JPY for a total of 4 pairs ( we always include GBP/CHF ).

AUD/JPY is now at 9349 . The WP ia at 9413 . We can now place an entry order at 4363 trading toward the WP. The WP is 50 pips away from our enter, but we will be using a 10 pip buffer to take in account any variations in different acct platforms.

Weds beginning and still no entry. We will keep the entry in place thru EOB EST thur at least. For next week I think AJ will be dropped from our repertorire. For next week we will add the eur/aud and the gbp/jpy. The eur/aud is a pair I love to hate so thought I would throw that in to prevent from becoming too one sided.

 

BUT WAIT ! THERE'S MORE !!!

 

Since we are adding G/J to the mix I am going to tell about a gimmick we can do if/when G/J ever reaches R3 or S3. If I tell you now you won't have to read this thread anymore because you will have become The Master of Life, The Universe . . . Everything !

Well our entry has finally triggered. I can't say I am completely confidant with this position opening on a Weds, it is called the MONDAY accelerator for a reason. But, a plan is a plan. We will see.

Good Day ! Everyone ready for a new work week? I hope everyone had a great weekend !

 

 

This week we are covering our baseline pair GBP/CHF, and adding GBP/JPY and EUR/AUD to the mix.

 

GBP/CHF: WP is at 14494, price is currently at 14527. I am placing an entry order at 14544 with a TP 10 pips before the WP at 14504

 

 

GBP/JPY: The WP is at 15739, price is at 15717. we are too close to the WP to place an order. I will be watching this and if we move far enough from the WP I will place an entry order.

 

 

EUR/AUD: The WP is at 14345. Price is at 14252... plenty of room her to place an order at 14295 with a TP 10 pips before the WP at 14335 for 40 pips.

To be honest I have always been a bit shy with this pair having taken a beating with it early in my trading career. Let's see what happens.

 

Keep you posted as things develop .

I had to go out for most of the day... was not able to update earlier.

 

GBP/CHF is still open and up 10 pips as I type. Since this is the "Monday" Accelerator I am inclined to close it and take the 10 pip profit.

 

EUR/AUD has not yet triggered.We are still 85+ pips away so we will keep it open and see what develops tomorrow .

 

GBP/JPY went right to the WP. Too bad we didn't have room to place a trade, but, rules are rules.

Good thing we bailed when we did on GBP/CHF...Iturned around and went in the wrong direction away from the WP. I am going to set up another entry on this pair. The usual 50 pips from the WP, after all, it has still not hit the WP and we have plenty of room.

 

EUR/AUD : Almost in exactly the same place as yesterday. We will leave this open anorther day and see what happens.

The rules dictate ( yes, there are rules to this gimmick ) that any unopened trades be shut down by Friday. So that's a wrap for this week people.

 

Next week we will be doing GBP/CHF, and GOLD. If anyone has a pair they would like to try let me know.

GBP/CHF:

 

The WP is at 14699. Current price is at 14767, more than 50 pips away. So we will place an order at 14750 with a TP at 14710 ( 10 pip buffer from the WP).

 

Gold: The WP is at 1297.77 We have placed a buy entry at 1297.11 with a TP 40 cents above . I have never traded Gold before, we will see what happens.

GBP/CHF: TP is hit, +40 pips.

 

GOLD: From my point of view, nothing to speak of.

Our GBP/CHF trade this week was just the way I like them, fast and sweet.

Our Gold position is going nowhere so we will close it.

 

 

Next week we will have of course the GBP/CHF. Since their have been no requests I was thing maybe EUR/USD.

Hi everyone,

 

GBP/CHF We have placed a pending short at 14745. The WP is at 14695 so our TP will be at 14705 ... . . just got in by the skin of our teeth. :)

 

 

EUR/USD: the other pair we picked for this week. Now I remember why we havn't traded the Monday Accelerator with it in the past, not enough range or volatility . The WP is at 13449 , price is at 13482. Too close to get a trade in. Nevertheless, we will watch it and if we get enough room we will stick a toe in the water.

Another good week for the Monday Accelerator.

I will continue posting it thru the month of November. So far it has proved to be a nice little trick. We have missed getting in a couple of times, but those we got in, produced.

Again, only with the GBP/CHF. It just does'nt prove fruitful with other pairs. As usual if there are any requests for other pairs let me know and we will give them a shot.

 

For December we are trying to get together a contest. I will be using the MA on the contest.

 

If anyone would like to try a hand at running the "Accelerator" thread let me know. This way you can be sure you are setting it up accurately for your own testing or live trading.

 

PS: The remainder of November will be weird with the major US holiday. I normally take this week off from trading. We will see what happens.

Looks like we are closed out this week. Price has already been within 10 pips of the WP.

So no setup currently. Really don't see much happening as we move thru the week, with a Major holiday in the US probably extending into a long weekend for most. We will of course keep an eye open.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
