Thanks Forexgreenland.

Scanning this thread for the first time. But too brain weary to start concentrating on the TA for now. Clearly some really great stuff about trading psychology and one's ego and mindset.

Wish I'd spent more time looking at this before I started 3 years ago. Would have saved me loads-a-dosh and more importantly - TIME.

Some real gems here and I concur 100%. Looking forward to studying your charts and analysis. Much to be learned.

One thing that I could use some help with is your interesting remarks about big dogs looking at your trading approach and hit rate and then countering your positions in day trading.... Does this this really happen? (Not intended to sound like a sarcy smart arsed question)

Saw an article the other day about the absolutely massive increase in retail trading over recent months/years. It suggested that the big guys are starting to become more than 'aware' of us retail-ees. Any chance that any time soon we little fish might start eating the big dogs? After all, we are no less intelligent than the pros. Just we are playing against an historically stacked deck. Also unlike them, we are not playing with OPM's. We stand to loose our own cash so there is a powerful imperative for us to be better and better. In my opinion threads like yours and others on this site makes a serious contribution towards this.

Power to the little fish and please keep up this great thread.

DB

Yes, it does DB, though they more likely use normal support and resistance levels to fade out signals.With a honest forex broker and proper risk management AND an EDGE,little fishes can ''start eating d big dogs''.. Fading out signals or patterns is a favourite pasttime of dealing desk brokers and institutional brokers so a lil bit of discretion is required. Its all about da benjamins...

I have a long order at 1.9969 pending...

sorry,richie, i meant sell @1.9930...too much cups of coffee..lol..
u can keep ur pending long as insurance though..

News wise,Mortgage Approvals and Net Lending to Individuals on gbpusd came out lesser than expectations,which should bring about a bearish move.Proper Timing is very essential

well I have a sell pending at 1.9925 as well. See wat happens....

Thanks, Schindler, for the invitation,I've recieved and replied your mail.

Well, we got stopped out on that call on Monday so we scratch that out and say ''NEXT''! Nothing is 100% perfect in forex, mon ami.

So lets review what happened this morning. Price on the gbpusd made a 1-2-3 top before collapsing on a downward bearish move from teusday's high. 85pips,$85 minilot, $850 standard lot was made in a couple of hours before started retracing upwards. 1.9846 was our final target point , in which price made a low of 1.9845.
We would look into MACD DIVERGENCE next and see how it can be applied in live forex trading. Please feel free to ask any questions or make any comments.

1.9997-1.9912=0.0085
1.9931-0.0085=1.9846

Macvd Divergence

[08:37:55] Stalion : BUY GBPUSD @ 1.9782,STOP LOSS @ 1.9747, TARGET POINT @ 1.9869


he moving average convergence/divergence-MACD- is a momentum oscillator develpoed by Gerald Appel in the early 70's. Flunctuations in prices are reflected in MACD; if there's a sudden increase in price, the MACD will move upward. It flunctuates above and below a neutral 0.0 line.If MACD is above the zero line, it is bullish. If it is below the zero line, it is bearish.
MACD passing through the zero line successfully anticipates the begining of a strong trend. The crossing of the fast line (lighter) above the signal line (darker) is a buy signal. and it also measures the divergence, or convergence, of a shorter moving average with a longer one.
On Mt4 platforms that was referred to, we only see the red line and MACD Histogram. By improvising and tweaking the interpretation of the MACD, we notice that when MACD Histogram crosses the red line to the upside, it suggests a buy signal.
When MACD Histogram crosses the red line to the downside, it suggests a sell signal.

MACD respects zero and crosses to above its signal line.
Signals
Bull Signals
When MACD crosses to above zero
Bear signals
When MACD crosses to below zero

Okay, lets go to MACD DIVERGENCE...We notice this pattern as price trends in one direction while MACD is trending in another. For example, price may be making higher lows but MACD is forming lower lows in its wave pattern.When you see divergence, it foretells the movement of the market. Positive divergence (MACD going up while price is declining) indicates a rally (rise) in the near future.

macd positive divergence to price

Negative divergence (MACD going down while price is rising) indicates a drop in price in the near future.

macd negative divergence to price

To plot divergence, connect the highs of the price 'waves' to each other and the highs of the MACD waves to each other. Or connect the lows of price waves and MACD waves.

Hi folks, been a while since I've been on and its all good. Today, we had a buy signal on the GBPUSD which netted us approximately 89 pips,thats $89 on a minilot and $890 on a standard lot in less than 3 hours on a Wednesday morning. Hope you'all grabbed those pips,fellas.

Hi mystikal, I'm very interested in your trading method and would like to learn more from u. Hope u could continue posting and helping newbie like me. Thank you for your contributions.

There is a post which i don't quite understand and need your help! Please take a look at the chart i posted, I understand that u took the difference of the pips from point A to point B and calculated 30% buy window from it. But as we can see if we place a buy stop order at 1.9556, the order would have been triggered as shown in the blue circles for two times and went down to the stoploss at 1.9520 as shown in the orange circle before heading up to become a profitable trade. But u mentioned that you had netted 89 pips from this trade which i don't quite understand how u could make it. Hope you can explain...
Thank you.

Foxgreenland, I take it this hasn't been hit yet?

Hi,Stuart,in intraday trading, timing is of the utmost importance.It has already been hit in the chatroom as it was posted onto other forums, including this one. Sorry though, but due to time constraints in writing it out,it might not be on-the-spot.But if perchance you see it early enough, you can use it as long as your risk to reward ratio is favourable to the trade.
In this instance, the risk to reward ratio is approximately 2:1...that is, you are risking 36 pips to make 89 pips.
Feel free to ask any questions or make comments.

Hi maxcruiver, thanx for your mail. If you noticed, the time that signal was posted was around 11.34 a.m...which would have precluded the first 2 trades that you claimed would've been stopped out. By buying around 11.34 a.m at that time, you would have still made your 89 pips.Its all about risk to reward ratios(risk management) and timing which we would address in our subsequent posts.

52 pips,$52 minilot,$520 standard lot using Risk to Reward Ratios

Hi folks, how you'all enjoying this lovely weekend? Glad to take a break from trading and do some relaxation, and maybe a working vacation. In Nigeria, we call it an extended siesta.

[08:37:55] Stalion : BUY GBPUSD @ 1.9782,STOP LOSS @ 1.9747, TARGET POINT @ 1.9869

So, like we said, risk management is very important, which is amongst the 3 pillars of trading, STRATEGY AND PYSCHOLOGY. They are like the tripod of live tripod. The best traders win 40 to 60 percent of the time and scale in their winnings in order to maximize profits and minimize losses.

At the time we bought at 1.9782, we were at the begining of a 1-2-3 bottom and got stopped out at the 3 point level(lowest low). Price then started moving back up to our projected target point from 1.9869 up to a high of 1.9957.

From our risk to reward calculation, if we risk 35pips on our first foray, we are willing to be rewarded with 87 pips as our reward.
Reward=Target Point-Entry Point=1.9869-1.9782=87 pips
Risk= Entry Point-Stop Loss=1.9782-1.9747=35pips
Risk to Reward Ratio=87/35=1:2.5
A 2 to 1 risk to reward ratio is very prudent when calculating whether to enter a trade or not, and whether the risk is commensurate with the reward.
Eventually, even after losing 35 pips on the first entry, we still entered and made a killing of 87 pips, which neeted us a net profit of 52 pips.
87pips-35pips=52 pips.($52 minilot,$520 standard lot)
Remember,folks, Patience is a virtue in trading, that is how seasoned traders make money.Like the Panther.

[forexgreenland]

Thanks for your reply. Can u pls take a look at the chart below, can I take the trade? Is the 60% buy window(entry point) calculated correctly?

Hi, Max, thanks for your mail...Am glad that least someone is getting the hang of it...You could take the trade but am not sure whether 2.0040 would be a minimum target but who knows, you might score..
From my calculations, the minimum target price might get to before retracing on the GBPUSD is 1.9955. Lets keep our fingers crossed,shall we?

1.9910-1.9824=0.0086
1.9869+0.0086=1.9955

 

[forexgreenland]

Hi Mystikal! I'm glad that there's a helpful guru in here to teach newbie like me! Am keen to learn more from u..
I'm still curious how did u get the numbers 1.9910 and 1.9824? There's no swing high or swing low on these levels, at least on my chart. Or is your broker data different than mine?
Also,
1.9910-1.9824=0.0086
0.0086*0.6 (60% buy window)=0.00516
1.9910-0.00516=1.9858
or
0.0086*0.3 (30% buy window)=0.00258
1.9910-0.00258=1.9884
none of the numbers match 1.9869, therefore i'm quite confused how did u get the number. Or was there any mistake on my calculations? Please direct me.
Could u please post a chart to show a clearer picture too? Thank you again...

[14:27:53] Stalion : SELL STOP ON GBPUSD @2.000, STOP LOSS @ 2.0035, TARGET POINT@ 1.9947


Hi Merlin,nice question.We had a target of 1.9947 where price actually made a low of 1.9956,

which was 9 pips short. The beauty of the CHART PATTERN RECOGNITION AND PRICE PROJECTION

TECHNIQUE is that you get to know the DIRECTION of price and HOW FAR it might go in that

direction on the charts.9 pips short out of the 53 pips targeted on that move.So if you want to ''go around it or avoid turning your profits to losses'', you do the opposite of SCALING IN. As in, after you've gained 20+ pips on that move, you start withdrawing your lots and LOCKING IN YOUR PROFITS.

Assuming you started with 3 minilots, you first close out 1 minilot as price is 20 to 30 pips in your favour,then a second minilot as price goes another 20 pips in your favour and so on.

Alternatively, you can use trailing stops after when you are close to 10 to 20 pips within your target, which ensures your previous profits are locked on.
Hope you understand.

Hi Mystikal, seeking for your professional opinion , hope this

doesn't bother u! Looking at the chart posted, which trade would u take?
60% sell window @ 1.5889(red) from point A to point B?
or
60% buy window @ 1.5836(green) from point B to point C?

Hmmm....Max, max, max....tsk,tsk,tsk,tsk,,,good old max....
Well, you see, the real 60% sell window is at 1.5936 where you take the trade or you wait until price reaches that level then place a sell limit on it.

1.6038-1.5783=0.0255
0.0255*0.6=0.0153
0.0153+1.5783=1.5936(60%sell window)
