    This is essentially a trend following method. Well, it pyramiding on trend following. I do not try to guess in the future. I simply try to get in an existing trend and ride it as far as it will go and use stops to get out me with large profits when it fails me. Now, I'm attempting to work on how to increase the space between the price and the stops like I trade so that I have an ever increasing likelihood of staying in the tendency for longer. Some tendencies run for months and ride it until my retirement is procured and I'd like to catch one on.

    I am thinking of dynamically adjusting stops with ATR to improve the opportunity of remaining in a trend whilst still shielding from dropping too much profit because of a profound retracement or a reversal. Or perhaps I will just have another sip of Johnny W. - G

    What's your average stop loss space? Can you want to rely on decision that is manual or place TP also.

    Your profiting out of a trend is very very determined by your entrance point nowadays. If you do not know where to get in, trend information is useless as the guidance of buying low and selling high.

    Plus I don't believe you can be by being in every trend, constant.

    Hi G.

    I wonder if there is any method to systematically set about working with ADR/ATR to optimize SL placement connected to staying together with the Trend. I guess not because while it might be heresy, I think that the Market character is changing to being more inconsistent and erratically inconsistent at that. Could be a phase or may be other hands on the job. Maybe trial and error is the fastest, easiest approach.

    I might be all wet, but I liken what I see to local traffic patterns. I could get on the street and cruise for the towns near by. In reality just 1 traffic light between me and the Capital 200 kilometers off. Now forget about it. It reminds me of the article in Scientific American years ago about visitors nodes. At a density that is specific nodes appear almost magically and self-evident. Now highway engineers arrange for entry onto some highways based on these fundamentals utilizing timing strategies. While it's stated that Markets might be Fractal in certain respects - that I think really with regard to TFs - their flow patterns strike as being more Nodal than Fractal.

    It also strikes me that the best place to look for a lasting Trend is outside on a Weekly wick. With choppy Markets your focus on the week by week approach seems sensible. A fast look suggested that every Pair might have a week Trend 1 or 2 times a year and often the Pairs bunched up, not only with related Pairs as you might think. So lots of down time to get into trouble with Ranging stuff.

    Just like your choice in drink - I've a huge bottle of Johnny Walker Blue on the shelf. Stop by anytime. It was a gift from a young colleague and it is rarely sampled by me. Mostly Ron Abuelo for me personally price is great as single malts.

    Best, AG

    I completely disagree. Return to my prior post and Graviton's opinions about the same. You never know when a fad will form, nor how long it will last.

    So long as you've got a trade signal to get into a trade, then:
    A) if it's trending and it's in the exact same way, just go with the flow.

    B) if it's already trending and it's at the opposite course, go with the flow (again), but maybe be careful of this being a retrace (regardless how powerful ).

    C) if it's not trending, just how do you know this is not the beginning of a nice, powerful trend?


    This is just what I stated in my prior questions I threw out about people being wary of having'missed the trend'. It's a fallacy (until the trend finishes) and needs to be put to bed.

    I wonder when this is adding complexity for no major benefit. Essentially the SL will be to limit the pain (and cost) of a trade going from the position. It is bound to end up as a signal in the other direction if it goes far enough. So, if you are deciding between -50 pips or -62 pips, it'll be fairly random, as you may use a -50 pip SL for your commerce, then I get a commerce at 12 pips later than you personally, but set mine to get -62. Various trades SL. Same result if it clears them and becomes down.

    It is a rough quote (guesstimate?) Of an insurance premium. I think if you are willing to take more risk, but marginally more interested in remaining at the trade, it'd increase. If you want less price per'neglected' trade, then it decreases. Some days, volatility varies from day to day and even hour to hour. . .so I think that it's tricky. Perhaps a weekly evaluation of the week or two would provide you some estimate of how it might continue? So I'll let you and G hash it over.

    My dad has been employed in the financial sector for years and in our chats over time (especially once I had mentioned about starting Forex trading), one of the critical things he said was consistently inconsistent the markets are. (Sadly, I neglect the particular term he had used and he is a lot more eloquent than I). As much as people will speak about the markets are versus earlier, generally the markets have their nature . Yesautomated trading, etc. have all come in and made their mark disturb or'alter' this big machine operates, but even after all this time, it is still as liquid and capricious as ever, and at times, even more. Fortunately, are now tools available to allow even more fools to enter this entertaining activity. ;--RRB-

    Again, I'll need to respectfully disagree (with both you and Graviton now ), as over the years I've made a lot of attempts to get on with different whiskey's, single malt's, etc., however they don't seem to blend with my palate. For me personally, a beautiful bottle of Tawny Port (ideally 20 years or old - Taylor's is a favorite, but have a 20 year Andresen that has been cracked open) is a beautiful thing to get. Regardless, I'll tip my glad at a toast to both you and to many more moons of pip amassing.

    My average sl is all about 85 percent of adr. TP'll boost as a fantastic trade progresses with no limitation, although my first TP is 3 X sl. There is manual decision. Stops principles described above or a spike in my dirrection taken out of transactions me. - G

    Hello Guys. This query does not relate to the ribbon. I just made my account and chose the very first thread I watched to ask this question
    So I am from South Africa and there are a lot of profitable traders . One of the things which intrigued me is that one of the successful traders here stated that he alters brokers after a couple of months because of the simple fact that he's earning - $400 000 a month. He wasn't the only one, another profitable trader posted exactly the exact same subject on his Instagram page. Now I do not have contact with these men or I would have asked them the issue I'm going to ask.

    Can anybody possibly tell me a profitable trader would alter brokers a couple of occasions for the sake of becoming profitable?

    Maybe some people are able to observe a trend before it is nicely developed, however I can not. I see tendencies in hindsight. Looking at charts we visit past tendencies months. It doesn't matter much when I enter it as it isn't in those two weeks, if a trend lasts 6 months and my machine was made to ride it for fourteen days. I have no magic method to get in on the first bar of a new trend. I do not feel any such magic exists. Luckily my trading doesn't require that sort of precognition. I enter when the 50 interval MA crosses the 200 on timeframes of curiosity. It is among the entrance approaches I know of. Others might be better, but they would probably just confuse me. Finest success. - G
