In order to shows you , I am actually trade my set up, just shows my last trade summary from interactive brokers. There are too many guys who do not trade but just talking and point out the High and low and explain to you why it is a hight. It is just waste time to follow them. If it works why not trade by yourself ????

Hi Winnie, a fe posts ago you mentioned with trend trades (breakouts). Do you trade both styles? It seems you prefer fading reversals at extremes?

 

I guess that a reversal is a reversal and that both styles can be considered as with the immediate trend.

 

I guess the issues are when price ranges, a few boxes up a few boxes down.

For the forex trading, I use both trend set up and (Support and Resistance Set up). For the stock and futures, I trade when X turns to O (For Sell Signal) and O turns to X for buy Signal.

 

I will shows you an example on both trade I made.

 

Thanks for your question

Dear All,

Attached is a chart shows how I trade stock. Entry is simple, when X turns to O you short. When O turns to X, you long. It is a stop and reverse system.

 

For the profit target, it may bring some confusion. The Rule is :

1) If last trade is a losing trade, take profit at 2 Box from your entry.

2) If last trade 's profit is between 0 to 2 . Next trade, your profit target is 4 box from your entry. Provided that your equity is not in underwater condition, that means you are not in a drawdown period.

3) If you are in a drawdown period, your job is take profit quick. Your profit target is 2 box from your entry until you go back to your last equity high.

 

That means our profit target is either 2 box or 4 box from our entry.

 

Just take a look at the chart.

 

As some reader point out that when we are in choppy market, we will meet losing trade and a long period of drawdown. That's right and we could not avoid it as we do not know when the market will enter such choppy market. By taking profit quick , hope we can leave the drawdown as soon as possible.

Thanks. When you don't think too hard about what has happened further back than the last couple of 'O' & 'X' then you are always trading with the immediate trend I guess:)

 

I am not sure you mentioned this but I wonder what software you are using?

 

It occurs to me that the clarity and simply of P&F is well suitable to mobile devices, actually your approach looks well suited to automation too.

Thanks for your reply. Do you have interested to develop it into automation trading system ? Please help me to do so. For the software, I am using the Bull Eye's broker software which you can download from their web site. The software is not every expensive and I using Interactive broker to download the end of the day data.

 

I really want to find one who like to work together to develop this system into automatic trading.

Good luck on the V trade. I looked at it on my charts and see on my Daily chart time interval the short just stopped at about break-even at $68.28 (was aiming for $62.70 to $64 but did at least go enough to lower stop), while on a faster 195 Minute chart, still very much a swing trade it is long from the break of $69 - target area $71 - $73.

 

Always interesting how different the outlook can be as you change time interval.

 

At any rate, best of success with it.

Dear MMS,

Thanks for your reply. I agree to you that V is in the up trend, as it is in X column in my point and figure chart, I would not short V until it hit back to 67, it a stop order. At this moment, I have no position in V.

 

Sometimes, I feel hard to use bar chart as you change the bar interval , you will have different picture and different view and make me hard to make a decision. This is why I use point and figure chart. II is more clear and more easy to make a decision.

Yes, it is so clear to see the trend, support and resistance. Just the classic buy and sell signal does not work in the modern market. The 2 box reversal seems to better than the classic signal.

 

Hope I could help you to re-think about point and figure chart. Any new idea is welcome as I am still learning about it. I really enjoy trading the point and figure and my equity become more stable.

 

Thanks for your chart !

Hi Winnie,

 

Yes I am using multicharts. First thing I have noticed is what I believe to be a small bug in how it plots, nothing too bad and I have let them know.

 

I am not too sure how easy language will work with P&F, I plan to see when I get some time (maybe not for a while). It would always be possible to write a strategy keeping track of reversal and pullbacks in your own code. It may even be possible to do something with range bars (which have similar characteristics to P&F).

 

What software are you currently using?

Thank for your reply. Now I am using Bull-Eye Broker software which is the best software to plot point and figure chart. It is a end of the day software which could not be used in real time. I am using interactive broker and writing an excel program to download end of the day data. The data is in ASCII format which could be feed to Bull-Eye Broker. For the real time, I use my excel to download 1 minutes data and feed to Bull-Eye Broker. The good thing in point and figure chart is that you do need to get very close to the market even day trading as the box will not move very fast. Point and figure chart is better than the range bar as it use a box to plot rather than just the price. You could compare both of them and you will find point and figure is more stable.

Hope you have time to convert it into an automatic trading. Are you family with programming ?

I have been known to write the odd bit of code :) I might do something in EasyLanguage (Used by Multicharts & Tradestation) to construct and track virtual boxes internally. The main reason would be from the point of view of a completely systematic strategy. I am not really a system sort of guy though have no aversion to moving in that direction.

    • there is no avoiding loses to be honest, its just how the market is. you win some and hopefully more, but u do lose some. 
    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy.

They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
