ADP will probably pop this baby.

 

Hi Mysticforex,

Your chart shows a nice flag BUT with lots of higher highs and higher lows,so a breakout

short could fail.

So we add another RULE.Wait for lower lows to go short.Even though the trend is down.

regards

For beginners? I like the idea. Not sure if there is a "system" that a beginner would really follow, due to lack of discipline, greed/fear factor, and maybe even laziness? Easy come, easy go.

 

But generally, a simple system or rather a strategy, could be created.

 

Since here we started with breakout method, my input is:

 

1. Breakout of significant range (or let's say opening range, or the 1st hour range, etc),

2. Wait for the retest of 20EMA (it doesn't much matter 20, or 21 if one likes fib. numbers, or even 20SMA).

3. Entry below (+1 + spread) the bar that retests 20EMA, SL above (+1 +spread) - for shorts. Reverse for longs. After 1:1 is obtained, bring SL to B/E.

4. For M5 TF maybe 1:1.5 is enough. Or target could be the nearest SR (i.e.: Round Number or pivot, or previous day's H/L).

5. 2-3 trades maximum to prevent revenge trading.

6. Options: Close all, scale out of half, half trail with 8EMA, etc, but that's trade management.

 

Quite simple, not every day there will be a trade (unless one "forces it"), not every trade will be a winner.

 

It is better to confirm the entry in the direction with daily TF. Not just "with trend on D1", but also for example: if daily comes near significant resistance, better not take longs, but watch for shorts.

But that's maybe too complex for "simple" strategy?

Stopped out. Came within 2 pips of TP ( Figure at least 2 pip spread, I currently have 1.2 ).

4 trades: 3 winners, 1 loser, net: 50 pips.

 

No trade tomorrow. Good Friday and NFP.

 

Someone up up with a simple system for next week.

Ok, since no one else is stepping up, here's another.

 

3 indi's 200 sma, 62 ema and full stochastic 30,10,10.

 

On this chart price is clearly trending down. Wait for a bounce and the stoch to go into overbought. When it comes out of overbought, trade with the trend ( short ). Hopefully stoch will continue down into oversold. When it comes out of oversold, exit.

Stop would be just above most recent high. In this case 12966. Trade opened @ 12934 and exit would have been 12884 +50 pips.

 

This trade was a few hours ago. I missed it, still sleeping. I will look for a live example.

 

EDIT: The only reason we have the 2 MAs is for a visual representation of trend.

One system that I use that is extremely useful for beginners as it is very simple to use is the valuecharts indicators. They can alert you when a market is over or under valued. You also look for an MACD that is showing lower highs (for a sell) or higher highs (for a buy). If you have a higher high pattern then you buy at a undervalued price point and sell at an over valued price point. If you have a lower high pattern then you sell at overvalued and buy at undervalued.

 

This works really well for trading forex, I normally look for a trend in the daily/weekly chart then go into an intraday chart to find the value level for entering. Valuecharts are really great at helping you lower your risk exposure and the company MicroQuant also hosts free training webinars.

 

I think they are available on NinjaTrader, TradeStation, MultiCharts and Bloomberg. I know they offer a free trial for the indicators as well as training webinars

 

Hope this helps!

    • 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.
