pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Clive, I will say that you take criticism very well and in this business that is key to growth as a trader. If we cannot learn from those who have been there and done that then we are doomed. I've learned way more over the years from people telling ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Why risk my hard earned money on a whim? Could this be the turning point? Sure. Could also be profit taking... If this is a turning point the CCI 210 will go into trend. I may lose 50 pips waiting but if this is a turning point with a good drop then ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Still think the whole 1% per pip is crazy as hell but who am I to judge! Nice trading and good job getting in and out banking pips rather than holding for a runner watching your profits fade. Get in, get out and take your piece of the pie before ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Nice clean pullback yes. However I have two points of concern (a pain in the ass I know

); Why did you not get in lower after the HA change back to green. Looks as though you gave away 5-10ish pips? Right below that 8300 with a previous ...Trading is as simple as ABCD

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014See my response to Static as I don't use the TT. I do have your CM on the chart that I glance at but for me it's all about price action, price structure (how clean and pretty it looks), how small of a SL I can get in with and the CCI 210 trend.

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Hello Static, How are things in the world of the double RSI? I personally don't use the TT indicator so I cannot really comment. Is do think the jist would be if we see a pair showing in the top 3 or 4 on both 1 min and 5 min (or 1 min and 15 min) ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014I took GBPCAD as I liked the deeper CCI 14 retrace on it. Was able to get in at 8267 with a 8 pip SL closed out all for 3.5:1 just before the BRN 8300. Nice little CCI 14 divergence at the enrty point.

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014It works wonders for my trading psyche as I now have some profits banked and at the same time I am protected. Especially using 1.5:1 as the trigger rather than 1:1 as then I am actually at BE+0.5% without moving my SL and allowing the rest of the ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Gotta love the news spikes to play havok with the indi's... From the 4 you showed EURUSD and GBPUSD looked the cleanest for possible trades. The other two just look too messy. EURUSD and GBPUSD both right below 50 levels and retracing but a bit far ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014Just so everyone remembers also NFP that is normally the first Friday of the month is tommorow due to the July 4th Holiday. Be careful tommorow and take the day off Friday after FO/LO moves are done.

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014OK let's consider this... 16% on a bad day when you broke some rules but followed others. 16% * 5 Days = 80% in one week or 3200% over 40 weeks. Why 40 weeks well each year has 52 and there are bank holidays when we should not be trading, X-mas and ...

pres78 replied Jul 2, 2014GBP was messy with high impact news but EURAUD, EURNZD and EURJPY all gave nice system trades. EURAUD was a bit messier than the other two which printed perfect clean down moves. 5 pip stops, 25+ pip moves 5:1+ easy... how much more than that do we ...

pres78 replied Jul 1, 2014Well that's great news Clive. Can this method be traded profitably? Yes as long as you stick to the rules and have a good plan for getting out of the trades (not holding past the life of the trade). Right now for this 1 min system I am trading 2% of ...

pres78 replied Jul 1, 2014GBPJPY entry as shown with a 6 pip SL (really tight for GBPJPY). See how this plays out at this time of day. We closed below 174 with the CCI's in line, tight to the 100MA for SL. I am home for the day with a holiday here in Canada so more time to ...

pres78 replied Jul 1, 2014Well a combination of divergences on CCI 14 and CCI 210 was enough to get out of all open EURNZD trades on the bar that closed up into the 100MA (orange arrow). 7:1 and 6:1 respectively. image

pres78 replied Jul 1, 2014A little on how I use divergence on the trend CCI to manage my trades. The blue line shows the last notable swing high and this lead to a new daily low but the CCI 210 made a HL. Now this isn't a get the hell out moment but rather a "HMM what's that ...

pres78 replied Jul 1, 2014Well EURNZD gave another entry but for me I would pass. I prefer those initial entries as described by Van as they tend to be earlier in the move and usually occur closer to the 100 MA which is where I like to stick my SL. This entry was fine as we ...
