Now this post is just a first of many or rather i will have daily updates. I am starting my forward testing journey from today and will be documenting my success and/or failures and will share it with you.
A bit of my background: i was exposed to trading by a friend whom i met after a while and he “excitedly” shared, how he was makin easy money trading crypto. A certain FOMO kicked in and i was like… holly shyt on the friggin cracker!! I’m missin out on easy money. So i jumped in with a $1000 investment and i shouldnt explain how badly i got burned. Thats when i started researching or rather seriously learning trading. Crypto burnt me bad and left a bad taste in me mouth and i decided i will not be trading it to register my protest. Guess wot as i focussed learning forex, my friend called and told me how crypto was down. Anyway, i have a fulltime job and its hard fr me to sit in front of a computer and stare at charts, i needed a system where i set my positions and then check ‘em late at night. Swing trading was a way to go for me and also im quite dumb. As dumb as i look… so all this technical analysis and support n resistance and all was just not for me. I needed a mechanical system of indicators that do all the work for me. No points in guessing im lazy as duck too. I came across this VP guy on youtube with his NNFX system of trading. Love the idea of trading on a daily timeframe with minimal work and maximum returns lol (thats not wot he says… its my wishful thinkin). Now he sounds very talkative, a nerd tryin to be cool kinda guy. Or in other words he sounds a carbon copy of me minus nerdness. 6 months of listening to his videos, i came up with a system and today im going to start trading on demo or forward testing without backtesting lol (see how lazy i am…).
My system includes a baseline kijen Sen (BL), first Confirmation indicator SSL (C1), second confirmation indicator DiDi (C2), a volume confirmation indicator WAE and ATR for Take profit and Stop loss. I will be trading every single combination of majors where ever i get a signal. I will be taking two positions one for 1:1 RR and second trail stop if its in a trend but will move SL for second one to breakeven as soon as the first TP is hit. Rules if entry for Long: price trading above baseline, SSL cross up, DiDi cross down (thats wot i learnt from VP guy and trsut me his way of having DiDi inverted is the way to go), WAE above explosion line and dead market line. If everythin aligns i go in with 1.5 ATR as SL and 1 ATR as TP. And same inverted rules for short.
Now first day, three pairs gave me Long entry signals AUDUSD, NZDUSD, GBPUSD and fourth one was just not there yet but i was like meh im too lazy to wait another day… lets go in so i went short on uSDCAD. for USDCAD, price was above baseline and both C1 and C2 crosses gave entry signals, i went down from 1D to 4H timeframe and it seemed a consistent downtrend on 4H timeframe so i went Short on daily. Now if that downward trend reverses on me today i will have a loss on CAD and it will be a lesson. Now my demo has a $1000 initial balance and all my positions are 0.01 lot size (1% per position as i have two for eas pair)
Wish me luck guys, i will post an update tomorrow.
