I’m inspirated by Huck’s HLHB system, but frequent fakeouts are really ruins such simply-beautiful strategy. I don’t know, if it were on this forum (so don’t blame me, please), but here some tweaks I discovered to reduce (not eliminate!) fakeouts and make trend riding longer:
SMMA (10), EMA (5), RSI (26)
Rest of the rules are original HLHB’s except trailing stop: do not touch stop-loss after it moved in breakeven on 50-pip price moving. Exit is ONLY on both MA’s and RSI crosses or by stop-loss.
I wonder why no one has made any contribytion to this thread so far… The small changes should make a lot of difference. I do not use this method, but still follow it with great intrigue… I am looking forward to results after Pompeii tweaking…
Pompeii could you please post your results whenever you have time…
Also, I’d like to get clarification of the current chart set up you all are using for the HLHB system.
I have traded the HLHB on 15M chart Aud/USD. I’m about 3K profit at this time.
My current indicators are set up as follows
5 EMA set to close
10 EMA set to close
RSI Period 10 Applied to Median Price (HL/2)
RVI Period 10
ADX Period 14 Apply to Close
However, I’ve taken positions when ADX is above 20 not 25. Using ADX Period 10 I’d take positions above ADX 25. I’ve noticed ADX 10 above 25 is same as ADX 14 above 20. At least in my testing paper, Demo and live it seems that way to me.
MACD 5,9,4 apply to Median Price (HL/2)
My money management is what has kept me alive. It seems I have to many trades that go negative. I’m trying to increase my win to loss ratio. In addition, I have been going for 1.1% to 1.25% of my pips at risk. Example if my pip risk is 100 pips than I go for Take profit points of 110 - 125 pips. Just thought I’d clarify.
In addition, I only trade during AUD/JPY hours Tues,Weds,Thu.
