he appears to be just trading "price" but let me tell ya something... his entries are friggin SCARY.

 

I mean, hes shooting for a fixed target of 1pt each time in the ES, which is fine and dandy (and i'm sure it helps him keep his high win rate as 1pt is typical fuzz and pop in the ES) but look for example on his last day's example....

 

3 wins right? but the last one took at least 3 points of heat before coming back up to his target for a point... is this prudent? is he even using stops? what if it hadn't turned around at all? are you willing to tank your entire account on one trade?

 

Even his trade example video shows a move taking a 5-6pt adverse move before it comes back to his 1pt target. If you want to trade like that you might as well go to the roulette table in vegas. At least there you might be able to find a hooker after you lose all you're money.

 

he says he trades only in simulation (as to avoid any monetary bias for recommending the trade???) Really? Like himself and his band of merry men with their 1 lots are going to push the market in a given direction? maybe if they were chucking 2000 lots at the market.

 

He appears to have no money management in place and in most cases he isn't even getting 1:1 on his trades.

 

I'd be VERY wary.

That would be wary depending on the size of the account. If a trader decides to trade any systems less than $5000, that would be crazy (financial suicide). Trading futures market is a risky investment regardles stop or no stop order.

 

I am in wayne;s trial and I like what I see eventhough there is no stop. I havent seen any loss yet since my trial began last week wednesday. I must say, I am amaze in his system.

Ha I think I started a thread once about inverse risk/reward or whatever, and mathematically we can't say it's any better or worse than a standard R/R. But you should absolutely be aware that anyone can hit huge numbers of small winners in a row by taking huge risks. Its just eventually the big loss comes in. I'm not saying thats a negative per se because the person could still be well in the green when that big loss comes, but a high win rate is a given and means nothing until you see the PnL after a few inevitable losses.

 

It's kinda like the difference between buying out of the money options and selling them with no edge in either. In buying them, you lose, lose, lose, lose and then hit a big winner ( which may or may not put you in the green). In selling them you win, win, win, win and then take a huge loss (which may or may not put you in the red). Neither is better or worse than the other per se, but you shouldn't take the high win rate as a positive all on its own.

I took losses when I figured I was wrong based on the assumptions I made when entering the trades.

eg; If I thought something was going to bounce from a low point, and I had a 20 point stop loss, I took a loss when it did not bounce.

If I sold something based on a continuing drive downward, I rolled my stop to the last swing high level, and got stopped out there.

It just depended on the instrument.

I may have to stop myself out of a current short US ten yr bond trade if it keeps going higher.

No its not Waynes system.

I apologise for being sarcastic previously....

If you follow my posts about a system that picks up pennies, I was making the point about having more losses than winners and still making money.

But if you are new to trading I hope you get the message that following a system that looks for lots and lots of small wins, can be profitable but can also get you into trouble quickly. There are some very good intense traders out there who make money doing these things, but I also think most of the people you will find here would advise against it.

If Waynes system is about this then good luck, but be aware of the pitfalls.

      Date: 21st February 2025.   European PMI Disappoint, Weighing on Euro Before German Elections   The Euro is the first currency to witness the volatility on this month’s PMI reports. The French, German and British PMI data have resulted in the Euro being the worst-performing currency of the European Session so far. However, will the Euro continue to decline throughout the day? European Purchasing Managers’ Indexes The French Purchasing Managers Index was the first European index to be made public. The release resulted in the Euro instantly declining 0.24%. The main concern from the French data was the Services PMI which fell from 48.2 to 44.5. Previously the market was expecting the data to remain more or less unchanged. The weak data triggered the decline which came to a halt after Germany’s PMI was released.     The German Manufacturing PMI read 0.5 points higher than previous expectations and the Services PMI was 0.2 points lower. The data from Germany was a relief for Euro investors and the price rose 0.12% higher. However, traders should note that the price of the EURUSD continues to remain 0.20% lower than yesterday’s close. The price of the EURUSD will now depend on the PMI data from the US. The value of the US Dollar will depend on its PMI release this afternoon and the Consumer Sentiment Index. Analysts expect both the US Services and Manufacturing PMI data to remain above the 50.00 level in the expansion zone. German Elections 2 Days Away Germany is set to hold a general election this Sunday, February 23rd, following the collapse of the coalition of social democrats, liberals, and greens. Given the country's highly proportional electoral system, German polls provide a strong indication of potential government formations post-election. The main concern for Germany is the AFD party who are Far-Right Nationalists. Currently, ahead in the polls are CDU (centre-right), and AFD (far right), followed by the SPD (centre-left). Traders should note that the results of the elections are likely to trigger strong volatility on Monday, but also influence volatility today. Economists may become further concerned if the far-right gains power for the first time due to uncertainty. If the government, similar to France, is unable to form a coalition, this would also be a concern for the Eurozone. Furthermore, the Euro this week is also under pressure from comments from members of the European Central Bank. ECB Governing Council member Fabio Panetta said to journalists that officials need not slow interest rate cuts, as January's 2.5% inflation is still expected to reach the 2.0% target this year. He also advised the European economy is weaker than previously expected. EURUSD - Technical Analysis and Indicators The EURUSD is trading above the 75-bar Exponential Moving Average and 100-bar Simple Moving Average on the 2-hour chart. However, the price is moving away from the key resistance level at 1.05058 indicating the price is losing momentum. The short-term volatility is indicating the price is retracing downwards. On the 5-minute timeframe, the price is trading below the 200-bar SMA and is also forming clear lower lows and highs. Simultaneously, the US Dollar Index is trading above the 200-bar SMA on the 5-minute chart confirming no current conflicts. Currently, the US Dollar is the best-performing currency of the day attempting to regain losses from the past 2 weeks. Watch today’s Live Analysis Session for more signals as they develop!   Key Takeaway Points: Weak French Services PMI triggered an initial Euro decline, but German PMI provide a slight relief. However, EURUSD remains lower than yesterday’s close. The Euro’s direction now depends on the US PMI reports, with analysts expecting US data to stay in expansion territory. Sunday's German election could drive volatility, especially if the far-right AFD gains power or if coalition formation proves difficult. ECB official Fabio Panetta suggested no need to slow rate cuts, citing weaker-than-expected economic performance and expected inflation decline. Always trade with strict risk management.
