Hello all,
I wanted to start this thread by saying that this forum has brought me a lot of value over the many years I have followed it. It has not brought me many pips, but that is for no other reason than the fact that I have never truly found a way to implement FX into my schedule in a manner that doesn’t have me sacrificing responsibility in other areas of my life. I believe the primary reason for this is I cannot blindly follow another’s system/signals. I am very functionally fixed in that I have to have a drilled-down order of operations to create my biases, and the fractal nature of the markets has me losing my place as I zoom in and out of time frames.
Hence, here I am, sharing what I believe to be about 80% of a system. I say this, primarily, because I don’t think I, or anyone for that matter, can create 100% of a system that you can just run with. Rather, I believe the 80% that I can share will allow others to see the markets through my lens/biases – at which point there are many methods at hand to analyze the situation and create the right trade for each individual.
The second purpose of this post is to simply try and give back. My favorite piece of this forum is the fact that there is so much constructive back-and-forth (if you can weed out the noise), and I have never given my .02. While I am only truly beginning to employ this system, I will be greatly satisfied if I assist in someone else’s profitability – even if I never get there. We all trade FX for different reasons. Riches has not kept me interested. Rather, it’s the “10%” rule and a little bit of pride. I want only to be in the 10% to prove to myself profitability is possible.
Without further ado, Forum Rules:

Without further ado, Forum Rules:
- Only constructive feedback to and from all participants. If someone decides to try and implement a repainting indicator, there is no need for 100+ posts back and forth proving whether or not it truly repaints – and anything similar here
- Please keep to the premise of the strategy. It is trend following, not contrarian. It is built on the premise of analyzing and honoring 3 Time Frames. All contributions should be through these lenses
- Being a 3TF system, I respectfully ask those wishing to test this forward stick to the same 3 time frame analysis for more consistency of data.
- Negative speak will be blocked/deleted without hesitation
That's it! So let's Play Nice!
Lastly, before diving head first, you will see images from different platforms. I may utilize MT4 for trade explorer, but I cannot for the live of me fall in love with it. I love drawing on my graphs, and MT4 is abhorrent in this respect. For that reason, you will see a mix of Tradingview (for ease of communication) and ToS. Please forgive me for this
