No Indicator Trading System

Looking at lots of confluence on EUR/JPY for a buy. On the weekly, price is coiling to take out the all-time high.

Waiting at the Riverband

Moved my stops up, but not to break even and eventually closed out manually for a small loss.

Entered EUR/JPY. Looks like I might be stopped out.

I took that trade as well and it hit my tp. Also took a long on AUDUSD and got stopped out for tiny loss. So far I'm batting 2/3 with this method, hope that my luck continues.

This is for documentation purposes so I remember. Sold at the top (oval) and got sucked in thinking that price was going to plunge. Overstayed my welcome. Should have cashed out of 40 pips and should not have added. Cheap lesson learned; don't fight ...

I just did a review of my trades using this system. It works really well! Forcing trades and FOMO really hurt my account balance. This is part of being a disciplined trader.

Drew my fibs wrong. Looks like I missed the initial entry.

I learned a painful lesson today. Don't just count on the forexfactory calendar. Make sure you get news real time like url . I was blindsided by Trump's comments today. Didn't pay attention to the fact that spreads widen and got my ass handed to ...

I need to trade what I see instead of what I expect. Thank you so much for your wisdom. It is really appreciated.

I have the worst timing when trading. Should have just stayed out this week.

Thank you. Every time I countertrend trade, I am literally fighting the market just to squeeze out a couple of pips. It becomes exhausting. Patience and realizing the big picture can make trading so much easier. EJ just made a higher high.

I got too caught up with trying to catch the Tokyo open to the downside that I neglected to see that preceding move that created the consolidation. Trend is up so I should have been looking for longs which is the easier trade emotionally.

Hi ITB, I agree, I was being impatient; FOMO definitely affected my judgement. Right now, I'm having a hard time determining if we'll continue the downtrend or retracement. Down: 30 minute: LH and LL Up: BOS

4 trades today: Lost 3 and 1 win for -1R. Chased one trade for a long and that cost me -1R Should have cashed out at 61.8 on a short from 160.528, would have broke even for the day Need to take time to digest what went wrong and right today. I guess ...

Yes, a retracement was going to happen after dropping 400 pips. I'm just watching from the sidelines very relaxed tonight.

Looks like it has reversed as we have BOS. I put on a short from my small account just to test a theory and left it running unattended. Needless to say if you're entering on the 5 minute chart and using set and forget that doesn't work haha.

Well, I used ITB's system to find the ideal zone and your method for the entry. YES, thank you ITB for being so generous.

Got in at the ellipse and cashed out at 4.5R. Thanks IslandFx911 for showing us his method. I was thinking about holding until 159.478, but I want to call it at least a night, maybe the week. Went from -5R to +4R in the account. Trading is hard. I ...
