Thoughts: MA and CCI Corelation

I have found 16 ways to use MA with CCI. If I want to sell it, I need to give a good name, to boost the sales

Perhaps I will name it MACCI. When I have done the Trading Bot, I will name it MACCI Bot. Or Ultra Macci, probably I will get contacted for another spin-off from Ultraman?

Ultra Macci best performance is for identifying Price Action Pullback. Ultra Macci has fate with EURUSD, XAUUSD and GBPUSD. When Ultra Macci is doing averaging, it can generate profit 100% within a year. I need to verify Ultra Macci with 10 years historical data later. It probably gets killed somewhere in 2015 or 2021.

The sad thing, Ultra Macci has allergic reation with Cryptocurrency. BTC, ETH, XRP, HBAR, SOL can defeat Ultra Macci in an instant.

I’m thinking of giving extra weapon for Ultra Macci. Bollinger Band looks nice for most Crypto Currency. Bollinger Band Extreme should be workable for crypto.

So when my Ultra Macci performs with crypto, it will use a secret weapon so called Ultra Macci Extreme Band!

Imagination of a trader after a full day hectic work …

Thoughts: The Fate of The Trader

I’m always curious about how other traders manage their life. Do they really have that lovely life, heavenly, full of luxulury, go around by private jet and cruise. I haven’t mention their castle and collection of sport cars.

We live on the same earth, having the same clocking time, 24 hours a day, why are the experiences so different ?

Day by day, my trading activities are not much different compare to running a business. Data preparation, market analysis, selecting strategy, and monitoring after execution. It’s a hellish everyday routines. I haven’t mentions the need to have endless research in order to maintain our skill handling market.

It’s not a jealousy, most of time those are the art of attracting people, then begin the hunting season. Do you know who are the prey?

I am having headache, taking my off day for market research. Few minutes ago a forex mentor called me for some advice. He insisted me to review his new “product”. Who is between us the mentor?

Trade: GBPUSD - High Risk

It’s common when good opportunities past, the next few days will be giving high risk opportunities. It’s a cycle in trading. High risk doesn’t mean we can’t trade. We just need to adjust our money management (MM) better. Less attach with our emotion.

Trade: EURUSD - Mixed Formation

Trading is a very interesting job. We have to be versatile and dynamic. Our mind can’t be locked by one perspective. We need to be able to see market from every angle.

Right now, we just have moderate position for EURUSD. There is just an indication we can do short as well, when a long position is still on. As a trader, we need to follow our operational procedure. Some will get confuse, since both opportunities have high win rate so money management is the only way to survive.

We can close all or half of long position, open a short with calculated SL. Since our RR is more then 3, nothing to scare of. The key is on our MM.

Technicality: The Way To Develop A Strategy

It’s no longer discussing a concept. It’s a real thing. Many information about how to develop a strategy is very abstract, misleading us easily.

So, how to build a strategy from scratch? To reach here, we have to have a strong basic technical or fundamental skill, money management, experiences. So how a beginners can step their foots here?

There are three steps for technical trader, minimal:

• Chart Analysis to find frequently repeated patterns. Here is where your knowledge about chart is used. Mostly we begin from one instrument. If we confuse, we simply have no enough skill.
• Next is we Design Trading Scenario according to the pattern we have. It’s all about profit target, stop loss, risk level identification and mitigation if possible.
• The last to develop the best Money Management to support the two steps above.

Most experienced trader will add 2 more steps , which are

• Method Optimization to enhanced profit, lowering risk.
• Method Escalation and Specialization to target specific market for trading.

So, how to exercise those concepts, I will use EURUSD as an example.

[TYGMedia]

Technicality: (1) EURUSD - Chart Analysis

Why is EURUSD? It’s simple because of its stable movement. Will it remains stable? We never know. For example, USDJPY was trader’s favorite. It was like McDonald’s campaign, “I Love It, So You Do”. But now, “You Love It, That is Your Business!”

As Price Action ( PA ) technical trader, I can see very clear its SnR. For others who have no trained eyes, let we use indicator to find its characters.

It took hours and days to discover things by beginner. Since EURUSD is my common pair, it can spot the pattern easily. I will share some of them by using MA50, H4.

From above, we can see how easy to find a repeated pattern in EURUSD. I looked back to its history, the same can be seen. Bellow is 2023’s movements

In 2023, the instrument had the same movement. It also happened in 2010. So we can find this pattern has high probability to be used in trading.

There are many other patterns can be used as well. Here, I will make use of this pattern only to compose a trading system. I need no fancy system or sophisticated methodology or even angelic intuition to develop a system. All are logical and realistic.

Our objective here to find a repetitive patterns only. We look back and forth to confirm the existence of it. There are some patterns can be seen only when it happens. We don’t want this type of patterns. We need to make sure it’s repetitive and can be seen before and after it’s formed.

So after it has been confirmed, we can create exact a definition of it. It’s during a trend on H4, up or down, when price move up / down, far away from MA50, the correction happens on the opposite zone of MA. As long as the price doesn’t break previous support and resistance, it is a good opportunity to get in the market.

The rule to run the system is:

• Defining current trend on H4.
• Waiting correction on H4.
• Correction is not breaking previous SnR.
• Correction is when price crossing MA50, against the trend.

Once, it’s done, next we move to 2nd step. Design a trading scenario according to rules above, we also need to find out the trading stats from strategy above.

Note: don’t just use statements above in your trade. Strategy without good mm and stats are considered nothing.

Technicality: (2) EURUSD - Design Trading Scenario

The performance of MA50 in last 16 months:

Base on pattern, the statistic show, 24 wins vs 12 loses. It’s a 60%++ win rates system. We don’t just open a position blindly by knowing this pattern. The next important thing is how to define an entry and exit points. We need to get into the detail on how the pattern works, all in numbers and precision. We don’t just look into it and hoping get intuitions from no where.

Here is one of setup possible for the pattern.

It’s a very simple setup on H4 chart, target for 1RR. On example above, we have RR 70 pips vs 80 pips. We need to be flexible to plot our RR, market is dynamic so our trading style have to be adaptive. Don’t be stubborn, put fix TP and SL without considering current price level in the market. Always respect SnR.

The next example:

The same thing, after broken previous resistance and have correction around MA50, the price went back to retest the new resistance. The key is, when it tries to retest the resistance, it usually passes by our target.

As now we can see latest price formation. We need to practice to look at Signal #1 and Signal #2 before action.

So now we already have a quantitative trading system. We no longer trading qualitatively. From here we can do many things to optimize this method, such as increasing RR, Win Rate, finding other patterns to trade.

We no longer say, my ear is tingling, a signal to long EURUSD. Or I have gut feeling for shorting EURUSD. I even met mentors who trading base on moon’s phase or planet formation. Why don’t I just rely on my cat? If the white cat comes, that means long. When black cat comes, that means short?

Btw, I didn’t disrespect any of them. I’m fully understand the concept of seasonality. But seasonality doesn’t work in this way. it’s very quantitative and predictable method.

Once, second phase is done, we need to establish our money management. This is the core to support our trading system. It’s like you are black belt in martial arts. You are good in training, but it doesn’t mean you are good at street fighting with thugs.

Note: this will apply only to EURUSD exclusively.

As a sales, I will announce, the strategy can be applied to all instruments, holy grail to rich fast
( crossing my finger and whispering: I don’t guarantee you can make money of it )

Technicality: (3) EURUSD - Risk & Money Management

So far, we already have pattern to trade and rule to follow. We have 60% win rate, which is a pretty good strategy. Now we need to find a good model of risk and money management. As from second step, we involuntarily will use a single entry setup, we can see EURUSD’s range movement around 125 pips in H4. Others may laugh, but the most important thing is trade what you can see. If this is lame, no worries, we will optimize it later. We keep improving our methodology, getting more setup, lowering the risk and increasing the profit. These take time.

By following the SOP, we will have TP:SL: 50:50 pips. We have statistict 60% win rate, the consecutive loss is 2 times. Just put 3 times for safety.

50 pips equal to 500 USD / lot. So if we start with 0.01 lot it will be 5 USD / position.
If we are risking 5% each time, the capital you need will be 100 USD. Your max equity drop will be 5 x consecutive loss (3) = 15 USD.
With H4, you will trade 2-3 times / month with profit 50-60% / year. Yes, it’s considered too small for CFD. But by using the system, we have all thing covered for real.

At this step, we know the min. amount of money, volume and trading frequency. At here, we just trade, while we can start doing research for other type of signals or improving the existing method. We keep doing it, and this is how a trader can be improved. No other ways. The first step is the hardest, but need a lot of patient until you have one.
