Hai Friends,
Here I am introducing a mechanical system with simple rules and that can be automated very easily. My another thread Bijoy’s Trading set ups, where my live trades with discretionary set ups and technical analysis are posted is no way connected with this thread. Bijoy’s Trading Set ups is in a live trading environment and the system in this thread will be experimented on a demo account.
This system is not recommendable for micro accounts as it always jogs on a track of heavy risk. To use this system on MT4, then at least $500 should be the minimum required account balance as the least possible lot size allowed in MT4 is 0.01. We can take this system with less account balance with brokers having trading platforms which allows you to trade less than 0.01 standard lots.
This system complies with the newly implemented trading rules. This system is always away from Hedging and Scalping. Also this will execute only one trade per pair at any time. So FIFO (First in First Out) rule also will not be a problem for this system. This system can be tried with any broker.
Rules
A. Platform
- Use GMT close daily candle platforms (Platforms having daily candles with close and open at 00.00 GMT) for analysis. (You may place your order on Newyork close or on any other close time platforms. But for analysis, you should use platforms with Daily candles closed at 00.00 GMT.)
- Use Platforms that provides 6 daily candles in a week. Sunday candle is must for this system.
B. Pairs
- GBPJPY, 2. EURJPY & 3. USDJPY
Those who are interested only in one pair, then the most recommended pair is [B]GBPJPY[/B]. If you are interested in adding one more pair, then [B]EURJPY[/B] will be the second best. Then the third pair which is in line with this system is [B]USDJPY[/B]. In this thread, we will be forward testing all the three pairs.
B. Time Frame
Daily
C. Trading Days
Monday to Thursday. No trades on Sundays and Fridays.
D. Indicators and Tools
Fibonacci only. Nothing else.
E. Time required to be spent
GMT 23.45 PM to GMT 00.15 AM = 30 minutes per day.
F. Entry
Get your computer connected at above mentioned time. Watch the daily candle that is about to close. See the candle is closed and a new daily candle is started. Draw Fibonacci lines from high of the closed daily candle to it’s low. Place a Buy stop order just 1 pip + spread above the candle high, If the candle close is above Fib 50. If the candle is closed below Fib 50, then place a sell stop order just 1 pip below the candle low. Get the computer closed and wait for next day 23.45 PM GMT for coming back to the system.
G. Exit
Here the matter of High risk appears. Neither Stop Loss nor take profit is used. Come near the computer after 24 hours at 23.45 PM. Close all triggered orders during daily candle close without looking into the profit/loss column. Cancel all non-triggered pending orders without having a second look at the same time. Place new pending orders on opening of new candle.
H. Risk Management
It is not possible to fix risk on each trade as no stop loss is used. I recommend to use 0.01 Standard lot size per $500 balance. i.e, find out the lot size by dividing account balance with 50000.
Example
If the account balance is $1000, then lot size is 1000/50000 = 0.02 standard lots.(2000 units)
If the account balance is $5000, then lot size is 5000/50000 = 0.1 standard lots.(10000 units)
If the account balance is $10000, then lot size is 10000/50000 = 0.2standard lots.(20000 units)
If the account balance is $300, then lot size is 300/50000 = 0.006 standard lots. (600 units)
If the account balance is $50000, then lot size is 50000/50000 = 1 standard lot. (1000K units)
Target is to gain 20% return per month.
I. Back Test Results
Back test results are attractive and that may tempt us to jump in to live trading immediately without having an idea on risk involved. Also I am not a fan of back tests as there are chances of manipulation. So no Back test reports and claims here. Let us have a forward test in the coming days. If Robopip is kind enough, then he will do the back test at least on pair GBPJPY for us
J. Disclaimer
This system involves chances of heavy draw downs and high risk due to absence of stop loss. System is expected to give nice returns in the long run. Adjusting lot sizes, Discipline and consistency will be the key factors to get success with this system.
K. Conclusion
I will be demo trading this system for next 30 days with 0.1 lot size on an account where $5000 virtual money is the account Balance.
So Let us move to Today’s set ups.
Stay tuned
