My technical 'HyperTrend' strategy journal

EUR / NZD
Does the lagging indicator moving into the price suggest that this trade should not be taken?

I just tend to wait for the lagging indicator to pierce the cloud entirely and then look for price action to pull the trigger; but I have only just started adopting this approach over a more discretionary one, early signs are OK though. I don’t pay attention to the price/lagging ind relationship. That’s not to say I won’t now you’ve suggested there may be something in it.

I missed the pip values that you had added in earlier entries; now I get it.

So it appears you have approx. 3/4 win rate? Average 56 pip gain per trade?

I’m a newbie and my style is evolving as I learn and as the markets change characteristics; but yes my stats suggest 3/4 win rate; I can solidly confirm 10% gain in the last month, that’s the one that counts :wink:

Credit has to go to @The_Baller and his 10K gamble page - barring a few minor personaisations its his simple philosophy that has improved my confidence and hence my trading. Check him out if you haven’t already. :+1:

I should add though that I’ve been playing with scalping the FTSE100 recently which has added to that gain figure, but not a lot as I lose almost as much as I win generally; I’m working on it :joy:
