The Holy Grail - Found

  • Edited 4:55pm Jan 31, 2008 1:49pm | Edited 4:55pm
In the above eur/jpy trade, the price did break below the red line to 156.68
for about 35 pips profit, then shot up over 180 pips in 3 hours.
Although the trade was easily profitable, the 180 pip rally could have
turned this trade into a loser because of the upside momentun of the euro.
In other words, think about the directional momentum of the base currency
as to whether the trade you're taking is with the trend or counter trend.

Here's something you newbie's should find interesting.

Personal rant, personal opinion follows.
--

I can't believe people spent 500 posts chasing after someone to get them to say things that are
a) basics and
b) better and more thoroughly explained and illustrated in the biggest price action thread on FF

In short, I just think that if you want to learn the importance of price action setups and support and resistance, _I find_ it's better to go look at the J16 thread(shameless hijack attempt, I have a clean conscience doing it given all the guesswork discussion here and conspiracy theory big boy talk which leads to a lot of text and 0 trades).

Personally I don't believe the 30M will lead to riches(For someone just starting..some advanced scalpers, experienced traders etc pp live on the small timeframes, but this isn't what I'm addressing. Also I can show you that you can make just as much cash on a daily basis with barely no screentime as the folks glued to a 30M tickerticker..)

Personally I don't believe there is an excuse to have indicators on the chart if you are trying to convince people you trade price and not indicators.

EMAs are fine by me for a very different reason(it's a seperate approach), but PSARs and MACD...

Quoting JohnW
My objective was to get student traders give up the idea that some vendor claiming 1000's of pips has an indicator that will make you rich (the holy grail). The fact is each and every one of you have the holy grail within, and you can not buy it. All you need to do is THINK and exercise discipline.

Along these lines: I think you just need to be willing to learn and put in time and practice.

Don't get wowed by "insane returns" or "99.99% wins".

Losing trades are a normal part of trading; trying to avoid them is a behavioral problem you need to overcome in the development process of becoming a trader; not something you can completely eliminate with magic methods(at least not when you're starting - experience will eventually adjust win % dramatically, nothing else).

So yes, using "Holy Grail" in the thread title did have a purpose - to grab your attention and push you in th direction of considering trading off of PA only
Yea, there's that PA thread I mentioned...
Maybe he originally meant to mention it!

Cast off the chains of lagging indicators and be profitable.

Who couldn't agree with that!


Quote
First, I determine the trend and bias on the daily chart. If you can’t see a trend on the daily chart, then pick another pair.
Indeed.

Quote
I only trade in the direction of the trend on the daily chart.
Sound advice when starting out, too.
Quote
All trades are taken off the 30M chart.

This however is not

Quote
I look for S/R levels. S/R levels are determined from trend lines and swing points (stop and reverse levels). The more times an S/R level is hit and price reverses from it, the stronger it is.
Yepp.


Quote
So, if the daily trend is up, I look for a strong resistance level with more than one hit (preferably separated by 8 hours) and reverse over the course of 2-3 days. I place a buy order above that level regardless of where the 30M EMA's or PSAR are, what the MACD says, or whether there is any divergence or not. If these other indicators confirm, then I feel a slightly more confident in the trade.
Yeaaaaaaaaa, this is where things go wrong. There are price action setups that can avoid all of this indicator stuff and very arbitrary seeming order.

Price action setups will tell you why and where to enter and wrap your stop(talking about those from the J16 thread - but aside from pushing a thread, a candlestick charting and trading approach will do this just as well..candlestick setups have been around since forever for a reason - all of it is price action trading).


Quote
I use a 30-pip SL, and I target 20 pips for all trades except the AUD/USD and USD/CAD. For these I use 10 pips.
Yeaaaa...see...if you limit your wins, you can't ever make more out of a working trade even if it were more than willing to give you more profit.

Not a good idea to teach this to people imho.

Quote
I typically place orders after 00:00GMT (5:00PM EST) so that I can catch moves during the London session. My stop orders are spread +2 pips from the S/R level. Only enter the market using stop orders. My logic is this: if there is a resistance point in a long term uptrend, who is going to break that resistance? Stronger traders, that's who. Where do all the self-proclaimed gurus tell you to place stop loss orders? Beyond S/R levels. Think that large traders will run those stops? Yes, they will. More often than not (>90%) you will get the 20 pips.
This is nothing I can really comment on, as 20 pips is a cough and a hiccup on a normal chart.

All I am saying - I've no idea about where the magic % wins come from.(Not that I want to doubt YOU having them, by all means.)
I just do have a very good idea or call it a hunch that nobody else here will be able to replicate them.

I also DO find that the "core ideas" expressed here are pretty much similiar to what the foundation of an >8000 post discussion thread on price action is here on FF.


P.S. I find that Investopedia article to be tremendously useless. Often cited, but seriously, come on.
If "stop hunting" were really publicly known or exerciseable it would be a different thing. Also I am of the firm belief that the whole order flow / order book stuff is a must know for all that(that's where the stuff actually "goes on" imho). That article just plays on a catchy title and promises of "trading like the big players".

I know this post might be disruptive; I just fear that regardless of the given explanations and everything working fine for JohnW, most people trying to emulate this imho quite elusive approach will simply throw a lot of money(please tell me you're using Demo while learning) at it while trying to mimick this successul trader and not really get anywhere, post more, eventually move on, and not have gotten much of it.

I'd like to avoid that, as the core messages(s/r and price action, no indicators) are all good and true.

I think the other way around makes more sense - after mastering the higher timeframes where things move a bit more sensible and slower, you can progress on to the faster ones.

Advocating the 30M for beginners is, er, not a kind thing to do imho

Here's 7 trades that went for more than 20 pips each. There were only 7 trades that I found for the past week (mon thru thurs) trend or countertrend and a 30 pip stoploss was never
close to being hit.
Draw a line on your charts at exactly these numbers to get an idea of what
the "hits" look like. I use 30m, 1hr and 4hr charts to view the "hit" points.
Notice the move above/below S/R lines, most moves are clean and stress free. All these trades were very easy to see as they matured over 2-3+ day periods.

eur/jpy - 157.12
eur/gbp - 0.7495
eur/chf - trendline break
usd/chf - 1.0842
chf/jpy - 97.25
aud/cad - 0.8805
eur/aud - 1.6496

BTW - Don't pay too much attention to the posters that come on here
and try to disrupt this thread - This method works well enough to make a profit, and its a unique Idea that is based on simple logic, regardless of what the nay-sayers think... they really have no clue how Insiders control
prices. If you think you can watch a few nice and fuzzy feeling pin-bars and/or indicators to beat this game, think again, 30,000 members here have tried it and 95% are proven losers.

Hey SeekingLight

Thanks very much for your contribution to this thread. I am pleased when prominent members at FF post here. I hope you learned something from the posts I have made, and I appreciate your positive comments.

As a former student of the James16 Group, I agree that it is an excellent basis for successful trading. I even declared that in my first post. However, I found some of the information there lacking, and I have not had consistent success with the "Knife" technique. I also find candlestick patterns unreliable. Before I developed my method, I was spending too much time watching the screen, and I had no desire to be trading 4-hour candles during London, which is when I am normally asleep (undisturbed please - no alarms)

Dial's teachings make up a significant amount of the basis of how I trade. As I stated in my first post, of all materials I have studied, his is the only one I recommend.

What I have done is gone beyond the fundamental materials from James16 and developed something that works extraordinarily well. Even Dial advocates taking what he teaches and "adding to it to make it your own".

My students, both newbies, are readily grasping my method. I have not revealed to them anything that is not posted in this thread. If you are interested in learning more, I will be taking on more students after March.

I have seen your respected posts on other threads, so thanks again for your kind and valued contribution.

Well the "trick" with the knife is that you need to consistently apply it and by now I believe a LOT of price action has been integrated into it as well..baddison, who teaches it, has really done extremely, extremely well with it. She's spent considerable time perfecting it, and as with all things, she got really good at it

I personally stick to as much raw price as possible, so I can't say too much about the knife in it's current form other than that it has it's followers and it's doing it's thing for them definitely =)
But it does kind of "lock you" to the 4h like you said.

I've found daily bars quite sufficient to generate really nice trades and small TF can lend themselves for entries into these in turn

Quote

These is strongly reliant on where they occur and how they are formed.
This comes back to practice and experience(=> what I posted about success % in last post).

No prob...like I said, my biggest worry was that you're already "transformed"; i.e. you have already gone through all the J16 material, you've tested stuff as your own, you've made your experience. You've moved through things, you know?
And in turn people coming "fresh" into it, being kicked down to 30M can be very tricky. Speed is high(I'm not kidding), there's a certain noise/reaction factor and you might have a lot of advantages from your prior testing, price watching etc, that makes things readily apparent to you, that is hard for others to see or act upon even as the PRINCIPLE is understandable and relateable to anyone reading it...

The transition from knowing to doing, kind of..
Do you know what I mean?
Prolly sound a little bit strange
That's really what was one of my worries, along with the r/r bit..but as I always say, if you can make it work, then it's all good..

As I wrote - if you're planning on firing up a trading system thread eventually or something where things are "broken down" and detailed, I'll gladly check it out, as I'm never averse to finding out new price action tricks to research for whenever I feel I'm ready to move on from "hardening" what I am currently trying to learn/trading on =)

P.S. on my original post - sorry for "harassing" you after you had to suffer through the usual "nothing can ever work" blast artillery on the first 40 posts already
(you have GOT to love people who readily admit to having no idea about how to make money telling everyone how impossible it is to do so whenever someone who does in turn says it IS possible..I mean, er, duh? Art doesn't become impossible just because not everyone can draw a pretty picture, either..)

And also thanks for being so forward about the 1 month J16 recommendation - I couldn't agree more, but it's something everyone has to decide for themselves. I've actually told people to hold off until they felt they were ready(i.e. had at least glanced at the public J16 thread and what all of this entails => willingness to learn) before, when they asked me.
It's definitely not a shameless promotion on either your or my side; there's a good reason for advocating it. Given that there's now a dedicated beginner section and frequent chat and care, things have most definitely evolved.

I still can't get over the fact though that you think the bars are so unreliable as to not make profit...have quite the different experience here ;p


Just wanted to say I'm sorry if I sounded a bit gruff, I've had a literally supercrap week last week(not in terms of making a loss - sorry, nothing there)and I may have retained too much of my "fighting stance" when originally posting
(...but I still think 30M is goshdarn fast! And that r/r is what makes me my profit..etc pp..but that doesn't change YOUR success is what I am trying to say I guess..)

Seeking Light-

Thanks again for your posting to this thread. Part of my goal in posting this thread was to do what you and several other prominent FF members have done frequently - try to get traders having difficulty to "simplify" their charts and focus on price action. I did not become successful until I gave up on looking for that indicator that told me when to get in. Traders that are struggling, as I once did, need to know that the forums at FF have traders like yourself that can and will help, and success is possible. I appreciate and respect all comments. I am not a perfect or great trader. I, like many here, am on the path to that objective. I am always looking and learning, and the biggest benefit of the forums here is that there are so many traders who post good ideas freely.

I haven't actually taken too many of these trades, but there's one on the GBP/USD that I kinda like right now. I like it enough to set the sell stop at 20 with a t/p of 10 and s/l of 30 and walk away.

I know it's not by the rules per se, I'd rather take less pips with higher probability. I like my trades to be overkill.

My call from last night... well... the market got flat and dead yesterday evening so I didn't really want it sitting there, thought I might put it back before bed, but had already shut the computer down. That's why I do better to write down plans, 'cause my attention span is about 30 seconds.

Hey Blue, I thought you scored on that gbp/usd trade, it looked like it worked perfectly.
Here's a few more I'm watching.

gbp/jpy - 208.86

gbp/chf - 2.1800

aud/jpy - 95.25

eur/usd - 1.4622

usd/jpy - 105.71

eur/gbp - 0.7395

I think the best one is gbp/jpy especially if the Dow keeps dropping, and it should.

gbp/jpy - 208.86


I think the best one is gbp/jpy especially if the Dow keeps dropping, and it should.

This might seem a silly question, but...if you just sold the 209.45 break for 30 pips and are now selling the "60 pips away from that original sell" break, doesn't it occur to you that you could have just held the short down to 208 for 145 pips instead? Or - held it in case there's a real breakdown and the low (204.65) gets taken out?

I'm still not up to date with the whole system's approach, but selling the current lows for only 30 pips twice with a twice as wide stop if you could have made a SUPERB 1(risk) : 3(reward) trade with just 50 pips stop on a pair like GJ it seems silly to pay the rather large spread twice to participate in the same linear drop.

I'm just saying. I've just stayed short from 211 and waited

The whole "in and out and in again" behavior just strongly reminds me of my original "scared" trading, where I was always afraid that any second the market could turn on me and kick me out. I always ended up regretting missing half the move, paid too much spread and never really made any proper progress.
And to me it'd just feel inefficient(I'm german)to exit and re-enter 100 pips for 2x 30 pips if one could save save save and make make make instead

But I guess if that's how it's sposed to be done you're just following the rules/your trading plan.

Welcome Seeking, You have finely found the light!

While your hind-site trade does look good on the surface, it has several flaws that I prefer not to incorperate into my trade plan.

1) Your method has too high of a losing percentage to allow me to develop my method of a money management plan (I require a 90% win ratio).

2) While you're waiting for your price to mature, I'll have been in and out of
many low risk trades that allow me to use a MUCH higher percentage of my account. While you're trading 1 lot, I'll be trading 10 times as many lots on many more setups. Because of my high win ratio I'll be able to compound my account at an excellerated rate, (much faster than you can imagine with your outdated method).

3) If I recall, JohnW had over 15 setups in jan. Resulting in a 100% perfect win ratio, allowing for and incredible increase in the rate of compounding. How would your method compare to that?

The Idea of JohnW's 97% win percentage is light years ahead of anything anyone could possible come up with (do you doubt it, I"m sure you do) so if you truly are seeking light I'd suggest joining in and learning a strategy of extremely high wins coupled with very low risk, that will allow stress free trading.

Good luck with your G/J trade, and yes, you have finely found the Light - Norm

Very true. I am at the opposite end of the spectrum; I try to enter and build and shoot for a high risk/reward ratio

This is just a matter of perspective. You believe that you grow it faster because you compound the realized account. I scale into a position and compound the PL and then cash out. The difference is I can garner 5-15% off of a 1% risk on entry without needing to exceed this risk; going by your implication => you NEED 90% wins => I guess you use a far higher amount of risk of your account per trade.
I cannot do this as my emotional makeup does not permit this. I'm simply unable to do so psychologically

3) If I recall, JohnW had over 15 setups in jan. Resulting in a 100% perfect win ratio, allowing for and incredible increase in the rate of compounding. How would your method compare to that?
January was great. I had a PL after 2-4 weeks the same size as the last 4-5 months together. The big meltdown basically gave pips away for everyone. It was wonderful and I got quite a small leap out of it.
Double digit % if you want a ballpark with the usual single digit risk.

Quote
The Idea of JohnW's 97% win percentage is light years ahead of anything anyone could possible come up with
I'm not sure how it would compare to scaling into a running position since I do not have insight into how JohnW's method really works. Therefore I cannot tell you whether or not the upsides vs downsides would match better with my own capabilities.

Given all this positive reporting I am tempted to look into it however once the next "seminar season" starts

I might try it on a small or demo account parallel/alongside my longer term stuff / main trades.(I actually wonder whether or not I am not already trading some or all of this...there was a TL loss mentioned e.g., which reminded me of the 1h EURGBP trade I posted just the other day, possibly the same thing/setup? Who knows)

Since I brought it up, this is what I meant.

The EURGBP example. I won't go into details here.
I explain all this stuff/kind of price behavior in my journal often, and integrate it into the J16 chat sessions/videos etc, and I find it very interesting to watch and develop. It's also quite lucrative to trade

Please ignore the wavey MA lines, the chart was only meant to illustrate the TL and arrowed destination / target spots.

This is 1:1 as posted to journal before/after.

The first arrow at the lower TL and/or a FE 100 projection would be a plausible TP spot.

Are we doing the same thing?

Hi Seek,

Yep, thats the trendline break. Not all of JW's positions are closed out at 20 pips, depending on the importance of the break (confluence) and the time it occurs are what determine the TP levels. The important part to me
is the building of confidence, so that I'm not handcuffed to the 1% risk factor. All the methods require the trade to be limited to 1-2 % acc. risk, to me, thats the big drawback to all the methods listed on FF. If JW'S method comes even close to 90% successful trades, then I would have to say He has the #1 system on here. The concept is what makes His method unique.
