Feedback on this methodolgy

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

My first day and first post in this forum and would like some feedback on this method that I found on another forum. Please feel free to critique and suggest.

 

Thank You:)

 

This is the simplest way to make profits in forex trading known to me. Even my grandmother, when she is still alive (bless her soul), can also trade effectively. It is also very profitable. I think many professional traders use this method.

 

It can be applied to all trading platform and need very minimal training or experience in forex. The reason is because this method doesn’t use any indicator at all. All you need to know is how to draw 3 types of line:

 

1) Support

2) Resistance

3) Trendline

 

Before the Internet trading era, we trade currencies based on fundamentals and the use of the three lines. Now, I don’t see why we still cannot use it.

 

The Daily Chart

 

Has anyone studied the daily chart lately? I have a friend who trade mostly on Daily chart only. His name is Warren Buffet, you might know him! Heheheee….

 

Now, open your daily chart (candlestick preferably) on your favourite major pair and watch closely. Take 1 minute and tell me what you notice (Don’t read the text below yet)?

 

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BAR EQUAL TO THE BAR NEXT TO IT!

 

Based on this fact, we can safely assume that, the highs and lows of a daily candles are unique EVERYDAY (daaaaa…).

 

Now do this:

 

1) Draw support and resistance on any of the previous bar. For newbies and JaJa Binks, Support is the lowest price of the candle and Resistance is the highest price of the candle. Draw horizontal lines.

2) Do you see the next candle penetrating the lines?

a. YES: That’s your trade

b. NO: No Trade

 

SHORT when it penetrates the support line and LONG when it passes the resistance.

 

 

 

Now do this:

 

1) Backtest on as many candles as you like, minimum 20 candlesticks

2) Study the number of pips for every available trades (minus spread)

3) How many candles give minimum 5pips?

4) How many candles give more than 10pips?

5) How many candles give less than 5pips?

 

Now you have the answer. ARE YOU EXCITED? You should be!

 

HOW TO TRADE THIS METHOD?

 

The Preparation

 

Upon the start of a new Daily candle;

 

1) Draw the Support

2) Draw the Resistance

 

….on yesterday’s candlestick please!

 

Draw the trend lines and determine the trend. This way, you can expect where the price will go. It is either towards the Support (bearish) or towards the Resistance (bullish).

 

 

Taking the trade

 

It all depends on you, whether you want to babysit the trade or ready and leave the trade.

 

Either way, you can still profit from it.

 

Babysitting – Put a pending stop buy or/and stop sell orders. Wait until it penetrate either lines, move your stoploss accordingly and deploy traillock when you have to.

 

Ready & Leave – Like the above, but with an assign takeprofit and stoploss. I would recommend a 5pips or 10pips maximum. Why? Because, some bars only (very few) gives maximum 5pips.This way, losing trade is almost non-existance!

 

Things to remember and my recommendation only:

 

1) Pick low spread pairs because of obvious reason.

2) When placing pending orders, please don’t forget to include the spread + 1 or 2 pips as an extra precaution. Because sometimes the force is not with us (don’t want the order to be executed on the line and the price reverse!).

3) Watch the monthly / weekly highs and lows. I would avoid a trade when it is near to the H&L. Price might reverse against your favour before it hits your takeprofit.

4) Don’t trade to many pairs, maximum 3 pairs only, GBPUSD EURUSD AUDUSD. Why? Your margin might not allow it.

5) I usually use stoploss of 20-30.

 

English is not my native language so please forgive my Yoda’s grammer and I hope you find the SUPPORT & RESISTANCE DAILY CANDLE method helpful and simple to use.

Holy crap, batman! I always thought no 2 strategies or traders are ever alike but this is uncanny. Maybe Moneda and Raul's had the same grandmother (it's joke not blasting anyone so please don't take it as so).

 

Very nice, moneda! I got 2 votes on this strategy. Getting warmer.

Raul is kind of like the "Old Wise One" (though, not really old Raul...you know what I mean :) ) around here. He's an ex pit trader and is wicked smart. He's been very generous to give us gifts of setups and this method is one of them that is consistent. Check out his posts. feb2865 is his handle.

Hello,

 

:D I just read the chat...it is uncanny. Here is more background for your enjoyment:

 

The method comes from a thread @ForexFactory. The name of the thread is ORANGEROSHAN'S SRDC METHOD. The originator is this fellow(very nice and helpful) who lives in Malaysa (I am not sure). Raul is from Spain right? Well my name is Armando and I was born in Cuba. I am not sure that I am interested in investigating this any further but I am interested in experimenting with this method and would appreciate any feedback from all you members. Raul mentions forex futures as a more rewarding way to go instead of spot forex. Any opinions on that?

 

Thanks

Hi Moneda,

 

Its been an interesting strategy for me which I just recently picked up from Raul. I am testing it out (still new to Forex) and will start applying it once I enter the currency arena. Have you done any backtesting on this strategy?

 

Its amazing how traders share the same strategies. Everything we know has already existed in the past. The new breed just try to improve whats already there. :)

Soultrader,

 

Thanks for your reply. No I have not backtest it. I do not know how to code on MT4 but maybe someone else on this forum can take it on. Well, so far I am enjoying my interactions in this forum. I will look at Raul's post and try to gain/learn more.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
