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.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
