GBP/CHF: Price has come down to hit the WP and the trade has closed in profit.

+ 40 Pips.

 

 

Like I said in the beginning. This is not a master plan to accumulate all the money in the world., just a little gimmick to get a modest piece of pie. A piece here, a piece there, and the mouse is well fed.

 

Here's a story. It's true. I have a Captains License. 100 Tons Near Coastal. When I could get the work I would do Yacht Deliveries ( I could never make a living at it, but for me being paid to sail a boat was great).

A friend of mine, Captain Rick, got a job to pick up a 40 ft sail boat in Antigua and deliver it in New London CT. Roughly 1800 miles. Rick was the Captain of record. I and another friend were mates. During the entire passage Rick was constantly coming up on deck to trim the sails. It got to the point where it was becoming annoying. I finally said something to the effect of "Jesus Christ Rick , relax, at most we are gaining a 1/2 knot an hour."

He said, " that means I will be home with my wife 1 day sooner". He was right.

So the moral of the story is that no matter what you can do, no matter how small it may seem to advance yourself toward your goal is worth it.

High + Low + close /3

That's why I use the 10 pip buffer for the TP, different platform close the candle at different times.

If you use MT4 I am pretty sure I have uploaded the EA here. If I havn't I will make sure I do so. I am on my way out the door so it will be a bit later in the day.

Hi everyone,

 

GBP/CHF We have placed a pending short at 14745. The WP is at 14695 so our TP will be at 14705 ... . . just got in by the skin of our teeth. :)

 

 

EUR/USD: the other pair we picked for this week. Now I remember why we havn't traded the Monday Accelerator with it in the past, not enough range or volatility . The WP is at 13449 , price is at 13482. Too close to get a trade in. Nevertheless, we will watch it and if we get enough room we will stick a toe in the water.

 

 

Mystic,

 

I am following this thread and intend to give this method a try this Sunday. I have a question about the entry you made 11/17. I understand that the setup for this strategy is that price needs to get 75 pips away from the WP before you place your entry stop. For your entry on 11/17, I believe that price had only moved about 60 pips away from the WP before you made your entry. Does price need to get to 75 pips away, or do you just want price to get adequately far away so that you can get a stop order in there?

 

Thx,

Mike

Just a little update. The last post in this thread was Jan 09 2014.

 

The attached chart shows that every Weekly Pivot (orange dash) was hit except one.

 

The one that was not hit (highlighted in yellow) would not have opened a trade.

Last weeks WP opened but did not TP till this week.

    • Date: 10th March 2025.   SNP500 Hits a 6-Month Low: Trade Policy & Recession Fears Weigh on Market`s.   The SNP500 completes a 3-week decline and falls to its lowest price since September 2024. The price continues to remain under pressure from President Trump’s trade policy. In addition to this, investors are becoming increasingly cautious about a potential US recession. SNP500 - Trade Policy and The Federal Reserve’s View On The Economy The US Non-Farm Employment data on Friday read lower than what analysts were expecting. However, the data does not yet indicate a recession. Investors are increasingly showing a lower risk appetite and cautiousness due to Trump’s trade policy on China, Mexico and Canada. The NFP Change read 151,000, 8,000 lower than predictions and the Unemployment Rate rose to 4.1%. The poor price movement is more driven by comments from the US President. Yesterday evening on Fox News, the US President addressed concerns about a potential US recession, advising the economy will undergo ‘a period of transition.’ However, some see this as a subtle warning of a short economic downturn. Though the Chairman of the Federal Reserve is taking a different tone and looking to reassure the market.     Mr Jerome Powell advises the FOMC is not expecting or worried about a US recession. ‘The US economy remains in a strong position despite heightened uncertainty,’ Powell stated at a University of Chicago event. He also said that sentiment readings have been a reliable tool for predicting consumption growth in recent years. ‘There is no need to rush, we are in a good position to wait for more clarity,’ was his answer to questions about interest rates. On the one hand, the SNP500 may witness support from the positive comments from the Fed regarding the economy. He also clarified that certain economic indicators are not predicting a recession regardless of the lower figures. However, the comments on interest rates and keeping them unchanged for a longer period can pressure the price of the index. Will The SNP500 Continue Declining? The FedWatch tool indicated a 92% chance of a pause in this month’s Fed Rate Decision, but the figure has risen to 97%. If the possibility of a rate cut continues to be unlikely in the near future, the SNP500 may continue to remain under pressure. Currently, the VIX, an index used as an indication of risk, is trading more than 4.00% higher. For this reason, the VIX continues to indicate a poor performance in the short-term. Asian and European indices are trading lower this morning as are US indices. As a result, the performance of the global stock market shows a ‘risk off’ sentiment. SNP500 - Technical Analysis The price of the SNP500 is currently trading 0.73% lower and gains bearish momentum as the European market opens. In the 2-hour timeframe, the price is trading below the main Moving Averages and VWAP. The index also remains within the ‘sell’ zone of the RSI and MACD. On the 3-minute chart, the price remains below the 200-bar SMA and sell signals may continue to materialize for as long as the price remains below this level.     Key Takeaways: The SNP500 has declined for three consecutive weeks, hitting its lowest level since September 2024. The main cause of pressure is from Trump’s trade policies and recession concerns. Weaker-than-expected US employment data raised caution. However, the Fed reassured markets, stating there is no imminent recession and no rush to adjust interest rates. The FedWatch tool now shows a 97% chance of a rate pause, reducing hopes for near-term cuts. Technical indicators suggest continued bearish momentum, with the index trading below key moving averages and remaining in the sell zone on RSI. Always trade with strict risk management.
