What Really Turned My Trading Around

As I was trying to derive my own data, I had a few issues come up that I thought I was way past.


You were right on when you said you have to come to these conclusions yourself to really free your mind. I feel like its such a simple reason why, but I just can’t see it.

Also, in the waves frequency distribution statistics, you are calculating the ranges of the waves for each TF correct?
Also, last question I swear, did you come up with “impulse wave” and “correction wave” yourself? Or are these theories that I can read about somewhere?

Ok Rel. I think in simple terms. It looks to me like at the close of New York and Open of Sydney (17:00 New York time) if you go long you are almost assured at least a 20 pip profit. So my question is how should you trade this based upon these numbers alone? Stop Loss etc? I am thinking that you would open two positions and when your TP reaches 20 close it out and let the other position run pulling your stop to break even. I am just wondering how to set the initial stop?

and then I see once the price retraces back to sydney close and goes lower a short position looks pretty good. hmmmmmm…:35:

Rel, is this data pretty consistent with other pairs. Eur/jpy. Gbp/jpy etc. ?

Hey rel, I was just making sure I was right on this because I thought I saw some conflicting words before through the thread about winner’s wicks.

a winners wick would be the top wick on a green candle and the bottom wick on a red candle correct?

my reasoning is because that is where the winners are taking their profits. Right?

I don’t know why, but sometimes I feel like I force myself to stumble over the little stuff

I think the 20 pip rule needs a little room for error. Sometimes reversing 25-35 pips before returning and continuing on. Any thoughts?

Red Candle
Winners wick = top
Losers wick = bottom

Think about as the open line as a ‘battle line’ between ‘bulls’ and ‘bears’

Winners enter early enough (right near the topwick) or just on time (at the open) knowing they will eventually win.
Loser enter foolishly even they are losing (against the body direction) / the battle is ending soon, too late (bottom wick).

Its due to certain timings of the day having high activity. Thats where I look at timeframes lower than H1 (e.g. M15, M5) to pick off the extreme.

What/who are you talking about?

Ok. Are your results based upon eur/usd only?

I’ve been working my way through that one congruently with this one, lol. The other one seems to have a lot less respect for some reason.

Simply amazing Rel. I want to personally Thank You for posting your findings and statistics. I see the market in a different way now. Now my trading has turned around. I hope you never go away, please stick around and help make us better traders. I now feel like I am telling the market what to do instead of it working against me. I still don’t fully grasp your entire system but I have got enough to REALLY TURN MY TRADING AROUND. Thank You Rel. 1000 times over.

Hi relativity ,

i guess from ur statictics one needs to identy the winners wick and diffrentiate it from the loosers wick in a chart how to do that well …let me keep on researching

Hi Rel

Can you please post the chart above with the volume spikes in a form so we can have a detailed look by zooming… are the spikes identifying the large volumes that turn the trend ?! I think you mentioned this earlier and I have been using the H4 to trade rather than H1. There seems to be more stable view of the trend here… and given my situation I need not keep monitoring the changes continuously (helps my present lifestyle)…

Thanks mate…

Open the image in a new window. Or save it. Then zoom in.

Thank you… did not realize its that straight forward…

How do you trade the gap on Mondays open? Does the gap qualify as part of the wick?

Are you Tango 6 Alpha?

Enlighten us! :slight_smile:

Relativity, I see something that I have not really seen before. Tell me if I am right or maybe this is temporary. The Eur/Usd is the king of the road in forex. It seems like most of the other pair follow the pattern of this pair several candles later. (any timeframe) I was looking at some other pairs and it seemed like when the eur/usd made a high or low the other pair would follow suit unless they are an opposite correlated pair like usd/chf. It would do the opposite. Any thoughts on this. Trust me, I am open to being wrong, I have thick skin. :slight_smile:
