Thread: PTFX (PaulTradingFX) on Daily TF

  1. #1
    Hello all.

    I trade on D1 largely, because I have neither a patience a desire to spend my time before charts.

    I use quite simple entries:

    PB - Reversal Bar (widely called Pin Bar)
    IN4 - Interior Narrowest of 4
    NB - Neutral Bar or Doji.

    These triggers should happen at installments loed in specific zones - SR (Support/Resiatnce) levels characterized by

    horizontal lines (PZ- Price Zones and RN - Round Numbers),
    diagonal lines (TL - Trendlines and AP - Andews' Pitchforks),
    and many rather unique moving averages (EMA/SMA) as Floating SR..

    Nothing new. I believe the key here is to remain consistent.

    I trade EURUSD, GBPJPY, USDCAD, EURCAD, EURAUD, XAUUSD (but now I don't because US broker laverage is 1:1 and that I need larger for Gold, so perhaps I will need to open an additional account, I am thinking of Alpari?) .

    My journal will not be updated exactly when I enter the transactions, I am sorry I just don't have the time or discipline. I know anybody can say I went long here, short here, however I do not care. This journal is mainly for me. I will be happy if it will be very helpful to newbies and other traders.

    I will not go into details about my egies. But I have completed in previously on other forums and it is always largely negative feedback. I really don't understand, are individuals jealous or something? I mean regardless of what system one would suggest that there will always be individuals who highly uncertainty and already know that it will not work in future.
    I'm a doubter myself, and it had been very difficult for me to convince myself to actually trust and trade the setups. What I have done I went in a record of charts to 1970's, 80's, 90's, and from 2000 until now. I found it working previously as it does now. I recall testing EURUSD I believe 2006 or 07 - was unprofitable, backtest actually ended in profit =0, but at the exact same time other markets were in positive gains using the exact same egy.

    I utilized Fixed Fractional percent Risk, however I ceased, and utilize now fixed $ number risk per trade. Yes, after a reduction I trade larger, but it's very marginal increase. I found it works better and DDs are regained faster.

    My installations are rated A,B,C,D - this is another way I control risk.
    Additionally, not all pairs that I trade with the same minimal risk. EURUSD, GBPJPY are the largest transactions, Gold, USDJPY and USDCHF would be the smallest transactions.

    RR is usually 1:2.

    I USE 3 METHODS DESCRIBED IN POSTS BELOW

    Strategy 1: Post 20
    Strategy 2: Post 21
    Strategy 3: Post 22



    More about myself at the next post.

    3/30 long-term 1.3304 SL: 68p, end result: BE, 1 day

    Nevertheless Uptrend, PZ, RN.
    This was actually set-n-forget setup, half Pin from last week.
    I cancelled this order, it shows up as a surprise on Mon night. I forgot about it, and now EUR does not look that interesting.
    After analyzing, I did not shut the trade (it had been profitable by 20pips), since the setup remains legitimate. B setup, but it needs to be garded as C.
    Later I felt the entire setup was wrong, so I set SL=BE, also good for me, EUR went , I had been secure.

    And to newbies, please:

    1. Don't think trading is easy or you're kissed by God. It is actuallyn't. It might be easy but not straightforward.
    2. Please don't over-leverage yourself,
    3. Don't overtrade, don't revenge commerce
    4. Don't average down.
    5. Have life trading.
    6. Remember to devise decent trading plan and money management (or rather risk management and trade management - these are 2 distinct things).
    7. Take regular 1-week breaks from trading
    8. Don't pay sellers
    9. Don't use a system that does not match you
    10. Read, edue yourself, backtest the idea, devise excel sheets, and read more

    And not allow someone give you signs or worse: some internet guru to exchange your account! Never. Generally - not trust anybody when it comes to trading or trading eduion.
    If you require a mentor - choose well.

    Another thing is: Currency trading is a lonely journey. I am aware of, chat rooms, trading rooms, right here - interactive forum, skype, yes, this makes you feel much better. But: if you are considering that trading is a teamwork, if you want to exchange in a team, then believe me: it is not for you. Leave when you're still young enough to find a job.

    As for me I like to be left alone, always enjoyed it.

    Ah, one more thing: get from the sound from M5 to M30. Really. One day perhaps, but not now. Trust me on this 1

    I want you to combine the 5% that survive. Then the 1 percent or less of the elite.

    PS: the elite are lots of traders completely unknown to people.

    PPS: I forgot: if you're fat, pls do get fit, get some exercise, at least take a 2-3km walk in the morning. For your non-fat: you still require a physical exercise. Believe me, mind will like it.

    At the end it seems dollar will strenghten, price couldn't even attain previous bottom. Quit to BE shielded me from loss. More and more I feel some transactions move from the very start or do not work out in any way.
