Walter`s First Forex Research (various ideas)

Recommended Posts

Walter

 

Nice find on the Sunday range.

 

Here I post an example of a flip that took place this morning, works out well for 20+ pips. Only trouble is that it took place at 6am this morning.

 

What I was wondering was, how long do you think the sunday range would be valid for and / or would this idea not be a scalping one, more of a breakout swing one?

 

Cheers

Hi BluRay, this Sunday range has given me an inspiration of what are the advantages of small ranges...

 

On the other side you can see how you can trade out of ranges with our variety of FHR setups... Including "flip"..

 

so from there on I am on the search for a small range previous to every session, I will post soon on the topic... but as you can see we are trying to combine all our methods together, FHR + flip + icon + small range, etc... to come up with something cool.... cheers Walter.

Todays Holiday I did meditate in forex... some ideas of very simple stuff (nothing new) have been arround... some kind of average reject type thing that would look similar to an icon type thing... something for a very easy reading... I dont know, I want something easy... complexity its not the way here, it doesnt guarantee nothing...

 

I found an average (Black) that could be the one to be crossed and rejected... notice the red ribbon how it crosses the black average then pulls back to it without crossing it again... oscillators could give timing here... something to meditate in... cheers Walter.

Ok... I had been doing some research on some other forex forums... there are very nice things out there, others just not that good....

 

One thing I notice is that some threads get started very good and suddenly the creator disappears and the rest of the people just do something completely diferent, in other cases the same creator drops his method and changes to a diferent one... I dont know why they just dont open a new thread... well so far in terms of forex I did open this "idea" thread wich is conceived to be a poupurry of ideas... so I think here its the proper place to bring things that will not necesarilly will keep going on... FHR has been the first forex thread with one clear topic so far coming out from here... I think FHR could have some future,(still on beta, we will see) any way I would like to introduce now a new idea here for forex wich has some hibrids from other forums combined with my typical way of looking at things...

 

This one can be nice for the "day traders" its not so scalping type... I will use a 15 min and a 5 min chart... ¡¡ chatterbox:p I think it can give a little more room to make more pips...(probably thats one of the things I am still not convinced about the 1 min timeframe in FHR`s ) some times it can be a small range trap where you can hardly get even with your costs... so this is an easy one...

 

Lets call it: The "Pivot Reject" Trade if this takes some color we will eventually open a thread about it...

 

Now we have this pivot line (red) its fixed during the entire day, it belongs to yesterdays data... and this other magenta line wich is some kind of average... we basicly are above or below this pivot... if above we are thinking in longs, if below, we are thinking in shorts... very simple...

 

Now... we will be looking to have a move towards this pivot... if we are above, going down to the pivot, if we are below, going up to the pivot... then REJECTION, bounce of this pivot... doesnt need to test it but the near we get to it the better...

 

And like always ( for me the best and simplier) CCI will do the timing for us on the "very specific timing" at 5 min...

 

I attach some charts to show this... later I explain this better... cheers Walter.

 

Pd: I still dont have exits decided... this is a first argumental idea...

Ok.. I still keep bringing ideas to my forex aproach... I know nothing its new here, just about all methods had been discovered and developed at this time so this is more of adapting some pre-existing method to my personal needs...

 

If I have to make a grand clasification of methods I have to talk about trend or counter trend methods... on the other hand momentum vs cyclical methods... is any method better than the other ?... dont think so, I believe both types of aproaches have same potential...

 

now I believe we as humans have certain propension to certain type of "models" on diferent areas of life... some people are very social others dont like to hang out... some eat a lot others are frugal... some people like to use beard others they shave every day... so the same happens with trading, there is no clear explanation (technical) exactly why some traders like to be trendwise and others counter... as some like to trade in the storm of momentum while others love to trade on quiet waters...

 

so here comes my point and I think the word "confort" aplies very well to this issue... where are you confortable ? what method makes you feel confortable... there are great techniques, but maybe you dont feel confortable with them.. and some times a technique thats not a super technique you do fell confortable with it, now thats what I call an edge there... some times the edge comes from the confort more than from the technique itself...

 

So in trading its technique + confort in perfect equilibrium...

 

So far I keep adding ideas here on the pursuit of technique + confort... cheers Walter.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
