1.5 : 1 is ridiculous but then again so is 200:1 and upwards. I guess it is to prevent people blowing up in 1 trade. Actually if you don't have an 'edge' you are likely to do better on a single punt before probability erodes your capital. Another story.

Hi,

 

I am following your posts with great interest all over the Web. I am trading your 00-25-50-75 line strategy. I would like to know a few things:

 

- in the attached picture, what would you do? Price is stalling at 1.3450 and is going up and down around it. It crossed the line down so I entered, but then reversed and was showing blue candle, so I figured that it might go up since it is a fourth candle (after three red in a row) and I thought that I should go with probabilities. So I reentered long, but then it went downwards and had to go out, now price is at 1.3416! So I lost 25 pips in the whole process. As you can see in the 5min chart, it's whipsawing. The situation was not clear to me. Actually, I entered a little late afeter price had crossed the line and reached around 10 pips before going up to 1.3446. I thought it was still time to enter the trade short because the candle was still red.

 

- is there one place where we can download ALL your indicators? I keep Googling, but some are hard to find, like your count bar dashboard.

 

Thanks.

Here's another setup. I entered long on GBP/USD at 1.4775. Like you say: "See green candle (was green on line). See green candle at horizontal line 1.4775. Go long at 1.4775. See profit".

 

All I was able to see was price turning around to go and hit my stop loss 20 pips down. Right after I entered long. It's like somebody doesn't want me to be successful with this...:( I need some advice.

 

Thanks

Here's a simple method that if you apply it properly ( and don't load up the charts with SQUIGGLY'S ), will enable you to NEVER LOSE AGAIN!

 

1) Only trade if there is a 1, 2 or 3 semafor on the current or previous H1 candle. NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

2) After you see the semafor on the H1 chart, look at the M15 chart for the long(light blue) and short(pink) triggers based on TRO DYNAMIC FIBS SR TRAIL indicator.

 

3) When price touches the trigger you enter. DON'T THINK, JUST ACT!

 

4) Only ONE TRADE PER M15 CANDLE. If price goes against you, just wait.

 

5) If price went against you and makes a new dynamic sup/res level, get ready to enter at the trigger. If you can't see how this work, then DO NOT TRADE IT. I have entered up to 3 times.

 

6) What's the STOP LOSS? The stop loss is your maximum allowed loss per trade based on your money management.

 

7) What's the TAKE PROFIT? You take what you can. I usually take 5+ pips and leave more on the table.

 

Try this method using a micro lot or 0.1 mini lot. Trade it this way until you feel comfortable and are profitable on a consistent basis. Just trade it, AS IS, and don't add anything to it to improve it. You'll be amazed at how profitable a simple method can be.

SINCE THE PREVIOUS H1 CANDLE HAS A SEMAFOR - GBPUSD IS IN PLAY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SWITCH TO M5, YOU CAN USE THE TRO MULTIMETER CANDLE COLOR.

 

BUT ONE MUST DO IS TRADE WITH THE PRICE DIRECTION AT THE TIME. IF D1 AND H1 ARE GREEN BUT PRICE IS GOING DOWN THEN YOU SHOULD BE SHORT. JUST BE CAREFUL.
