You are the one WHO called me sock puppet, so you should maybe think about your moves and stick to trading.
Why would anyone call you a sock?
I dont trust him. He tried to put some kind of keyboard sniper trojan horse on my computer and he tried to hit up my mom.

Easy money again this morning!
This was a fun thread to be a part of, but the knowledge gain has ceased, and the tapioca eating trolls have taken over.
@AmericanTrader thanks for this, and best of luck trading. See ya around.

Can we ALL just get back to this strategy (strategies) and working together to make money together please? There is no perfect system that exist with 100% win rates, just asks the banks who seem to screwing up their well honed systems very well at the moment? Itās about increasing the probability of a winning trade with small losses along the way. This system might not work for you as itās about timing and taking chances on whether there will be a continiuning trend or not to follow and a finger on the exit trigger at all times.
SO PLEASE DONāT LEAVE THIS THREAD BECAUSE OF ONE PERSON.
Also report this person to the moderators on here.

Hi Art.
Thanks for visiting and posting.
Iām afraid you may get different answers depending on who you ask.
The strategy is technically unchanged. However, I think many of us are also using it on other major pairs and using additional signal filters, such as the 100EMA. My personal experience is that it will be important for you to look for signals near the session openings for London and New York, and after high impact economic news.
There have also been discussions about other strategies, which I think is a great addition to the thread too.
Bottom line is I hope we will grow as traders and get better together. I like a looooot of signals. So lately I do a different strategy on Mondays and Fridays, and the channel the other days (thatās the schedule anyway, whether I stick to it or not).

Me too.
Btw, I should have mentioned that more experienced traders may want to look at the 1 minute timeframe as well. Using the PSAR at 0.0009 / 0.07 for stop loss placement. Its a deeper stop loss so potential for larger loss, but I think it provides more wins.

That is precisely what Iāve been looking for Iām trying to dig that nugget up out of the ground here.
Opening of a trade is probably the most complicated thing to do in the world and never one place in 1500 posts have as anyone in this thread came out and stated I am entering such and such trade at Price x.
Instead the op tells me itās none of my business and he doesnāt owe me anything.
So Iām done Iām over if you donāt want to teach me fine Iāll cancel my account here and Iām gone Iām done.
When Iām comfortable enough Iāll definitely try the 1min tf. Also, just out of curiousity were you able to break even ? Cuz I felt bad when I read the part you mentioned loosing about have your starting balance as of last yearās thread. Been rooting for you. @AmericanTrader

Thanks for the concern, Art. I appreciate it.
Iām recovered and have been able in just the last 6 months to be much more consistently profitable. Even today my second trade was a 60 pip loser, but I recovered it in minutes and had a nice profitable day. Had I been using the channel strategy, I would have avoided most of that loss in the first placeā¦ Its why I donāt use large lot sizes on my typical trades. So I can recover losses more quickly.
I have been profitable most every day I trade now, and I miss out on at least 100 pips a day by not being able to do this full-time yet. Trying to get to the place where I can. Maybe in a year or two.
Just remember to quit for the day when you are ahead I think it sets one up for better trading decisions the next day.

Thank you for the tip. (quit while ahead ). But Iām not familiar with this channel strategy. Do I just slap trend channels along side the moving averages and the monitor the whiye and yellow one orā¦?

By āchannel strategyā I just meant the strategy outlined at the beginning of the forum thread. So, yes. Just slap the trend channels and emas on the chart. I like adding the PSAR too.
Like any strategy, Iām sure it will need to be tweeked here and there as market conditions change. I bet this is going to be a strange trading year.

another āfree, basic indicatorā not based on moving averages 
there are loads of them, apart from the Donchian, mentioned above: RSI, ATR, ADX, DMI, and so on - none of them ābased on moving averagesā at all
sorry for the interruptions in your thread, AT, but sometimes itās worth correcting some of the silly misinformation posted here by people who might otherwise look to inexperienced members as if they actually know what theyāre talking about

Parabolic SAR is a technical indicator developed for analyzing the trending markets . It is constructed on the price chart similar to Moving Average,
My final trade for the day will be USDCAD
Entry - 1.36768 (now)
TP 1.37066 (29 pips) (I move it with the 1Hr 50ema, so just trail this)
SL 1.3645 (30 pips) (1% risk) Spread is going to be really big in 3 hours so be careful of being swung out.
** I do not place actual stops on my chart unless I am walking away for extended periods of time. I will close after re-evaluating price action if price goes to my stop.
Edit 1: Trade closed +17 pips
There are 2 long channel signals for this on the 1 min chart. 1 Hour chart is at support and we had high volume 2 hours ago.
Not trading advice but that is what I am doing. Even if I lose this trade I am already up for the day and will stay positive, so this is my risky trade of the day.
