Big loss.
Mainly I tried 4 different strategies, MACD, support/resistance entry with trailing SL, More random entry but with the trend, 100/300 pips fixed exit for EU. Only the second strategy is profitable.

Only 3 orders at a time, 2 major pairs and 1 cross pair. One of the major pairs should be EU if it's possible.

The Eur pairs don't respect the daily TL well. I have lost several trades on the Eur pairs already. Pay more attention to them. Perhaps I should either take profit more promptly, or give up them, or use the Weekly charts.

What should the exit stratege be? What's the best exit stratege?

Firstly when I used trailing SL, the profit reduced from 80 pips to 20 pips.
Then I take profit at 80 pips, but I saw I could have won 200-300 pips if I used hard SL.
Then I decided to use 200-300 hard SL, but hard SL made a 226 pips winning trade turned to a 244 pips lose trade.

Also I should make attention to my SL. Last time EJ at 130.94 hit my SL with 286 pips lose. This time EA at 1.8774 hit my SL with 244 pips. I think for EJ and EA I should use larger SL, say 350-400 pips.

Is the rule I setup on Friday 20th March good? I don't know. I followed the rule today and didn't let my profits go further. I could have made several hundred more pips on the 2 orders. More likely I should take profit @200 pips.

Another rule that I should only look at the chart 5-7 times a day may also mean that I should take profit @ around 200pips instead of only 80pips.

I should write a note on the "stick to index" for each order.

0014 GC: stick to index 5;
6984 GJ: stick to index 4;

Both CHF and JPY have already had an up trend for 8-10 years and may come to a turing point to come down. Comparing CHF and JPY, there is stronger up trend for JPY. So comparing buying GC and GJ, buying GC is more sensible (equivalent to selling CG is more sensible than selling JG as CHF has less up trend or has more down trend).

GC:
Buy @ 1.6055, 5% SL is 1.5252.

GJ:
Buy @ 135.36, 5% SL is 128.592.

A note on order 750182 of "Sell limit of NU":

NJ has touched the upper TL and I should sell NJ. However as both NU and UJ are likely to rise, NJ may still have room to rise. For safety, no sell limit on NJ.

Particularly as NJ has a higher high, the trend of NJ may have changed from down to up.

A lesson learned: A long black/white bar is not reliable.

Tuesday, 24 March 2009

This week I didn't trade well. After I lost on selling EJ, I opened another selling order based on an H4 doji bar and a confirmation black (down) bar. Unfortunately I closed this order quite quickly as I didn't see a quick price drop. The situation is that the price dropped slowly for at least 3 consecutively bars.

UC:
Buy @1.127 is based on the 50% support at 1.115 is effective. So buy at the mid-point of today's daily bar.

EG:
Sell @ 0.9256 is based on today's long black bar. Sell at the mid-point of today's daily bar.

For twice I could have made more profits if I had not used the trailing SL. The first time I used a large trailing SL, and the second time I used a tight trailing SL. The first time the large trailing SL was hit and the price stays there for a few days then changed its direction. The second time the tight trailing SL was hit and the price changed its direction quite quickly.

My lesson is, take profit if I have more than 80 pis, and try to open another limit order at the same or similar S/R level. Limit order at the same or similar S/R level can be put on twice.

1 week ending 20 March: +0.276%

It's been 112 days since 4 November 2008 when I concluded that MACD is very poor in making money. During these 112 days, I made 396 units money, i.e. 3.5357 units per day, or 0.0035 of the deposit per day. Based on this, I expect the annual return (increase rate) per year should be (1.0035^365-1) = (3.5797-1) = 2.5797 times the deposite (257.97%), or 0.0035*365 = 1.2775 times the deposit (127.75%).

This week has been bad. I put 8 pending orders (which is against my maximum 5 pending orders rule) and didn't set up SL on GBP pairs, and I deleted the good EU buy limit order. The net profit is only +3.488% now.

The criteria that I should use to delete or keep an order or not, should be the speed of the pair reaching or approaching the limit price. If the pair reaches or approaches the limit price very quickly, then I should consider to close or delete the order; otherwise keep the order open.

MACD has proved to be very poor in making money. I don't think any other indicators would be better. By contrast, when I used Fib and TL I made some money.

Stick to Fib and TL again.

UCa:
MACD H4 has a reversing signal to fall.

NU (GU):
H4 has a reversing signal to rise.

GU:
H4 has a reversing signal to rise, but MACD chart is choppy and not round at all. Daily has a doji bar. Look closely at Monday's bar to see if it closes above the doji.

EU, UC, AU have not had a reversing signal yet.

UJ:
Both H4 and D1 have reversing signal to rise.

This week I made several mistakes again.

1) I removed SL on G/U again! Furthermore I removed TP and didn't close the position within 24 hours again!
2) I should not have more than 3 pending position at a time!

EU's doji on last Friday has been diseffecitve. UC and EU has the strongest signal of reversing. GU's open price has a reversing signal. NU, AU, UCa have not formed reversing signal yet.

Today GJ move to 684 pips below S3 (180.87-174.03). Previous high and low are 188.50 184.66.
UJ move to 264 pips below S3 (102.86-100.22).
AU move to 611pips below S3 (0.7593-0.6982).

Friday, 3 October 2008

Last Friday I wrote

UCa:
UCa may bounce up. If so then it will produce several hundred pips potential profit. Buy limit at 1.0285.
Look closely MACD daily chart.


This week UCa rose by 509 pips. Unfortunately I totally forgot it and didn't look at the UCa MACD daily chart at all, and missed the trade.

Next week USD may dramatically drop down. EU has a rough doji daily bar. Wait for Monday's close to confirm. Look closely at MACD charts of EU, UC, GU and AU and wait for confirmation of a buying signal. All of them are expected to have a STRONG divergence signal on the daily MACD chart.

EU:
Buy @ 1.3510 (38.2% Fib Ext), SL 1.3480

UC:
Sell @1.1385, SL 1.1430, Expire 8 Oct 22:00.

I lost 2 trades in a row which are based on H4 Channel/TL. I will not use H4 Channel/TL as a signal any more.

By contrast, reversing large value MACD is a good signal.

7 weeks ending 19 September: +14.892%

Friday, 26 September 2008

I believe USD is going to rally in long term. However I need to learn lessons from trading of GJ. My predictions on GJ's downtrend was correct, however, I didn't make any money, but lost quite a lot money on GJ. The most direct reasons are, (1)I didn't use SL, and (2) the market had stayed irrational longer than I stayed solvent.

UCa:
UCa may bounce up. If so then it will have several hundred pips potential profit. Buy limit at 1.0285. Look closely MACD daily chart.

AU:
If UCa goes up, then AU should come down. But AU seems to have a bullish flag, while daily MACD shows it may drop down. Basically I believe it's more likeyly to drop down.
Sell at 0.8420? (target at 0.8170? )

EU:
Delete 213. Change 295 to sell at 1.4957, SL 1.5030.
Opinions of Wang Yang: Short term support is 1.4550 and 1.4500. If 1.4500 is not broken, EU still has chance to rise with oscillation. Besides the resistance at Monday's high 1.4867(orignial article is 1.4886), much stronger and more important resistance is 1.4900-1.4950. My own analysis shows the resistance is the 50% Fib at 1.4960.

UC:
Buy at 1.0720, SL 1.0620.

All the above pending orders should be re-considered in Tuesday evening.

this week: -7.079%
7 weeks ending 19 September: +14.892%

Tuesday, 23 September 2008

I made several mistakes in these two days.

1) I didn't do my homework during the weekend. There are clear signals on EU and GU weekly MACD charts which I have waited long. But I entered trades against the signals because I didn't do my homework and entered the trades in a ruch morning.

2) The prices I entered are reasonably well, which are at the critical R/S levels. But I didn't set the SL well. Particularly I removed the SL on E/U.

Follow the trend, use low leverage, stop losses, be peaceful.

EU:
sell @1.4957, SL 1.5060

GU:
sell @1.8799, SL 1.8850

GJ:
1500 bars. The biggest difference of the highs above R3 is 228 pips. (2004.3.5). The previous day's H/L/C are 202.79, 200.79, 202.37. Although the day's close 206.85 is 167 pips higher than R3 205.18, and the next day's low 205.15 is only 3 pips lower than R3 205.18, there are 3 consecutive black bars with the 3rd bar bottomed at 199.24.

The biggest difference of the lows below S3 is 409 pips. (S32007.8.16). The next day's low expanded the difference to 626 pips. The next day's high make potential profit to be 342 pips. The previous day's H/L/C are 234.88, 230.89 and 230.90. The day's close 226.87 is 129 pips higher than S3 225.58.

NU:
Daily and H4 MACD still show a buy signal. However, weekly and monthly MACD show it may fall further.
Action:Buy 0.6535 (15/9 low), SL 0.6435. This SL is below the channel and can be reduced.

GJ:
buy at the lower channel 184.10. If the current open position closes with profit, change 847 to buy at 186.50. [and 456 to buy at 187.40 (15/9 low) ]

MACD(5,13,1) gives the earliest signal compared with MA(5) and Gann(10). When the MACD values are relatively big/small and the time frame is higher than daily, it may be able to used as a signal.

NU:
Daily MACD has a buy signal. 0.6467 is 23.6% Fib of the last rise. However, weekly and monthly shows it may fall further.
Action:
Buy 0.6570, SL 0.6430. Maximum loss 140 pips.

My broker changed the policy, and I should check all the positions including pending positions and close them as necessary.

GU:
Support 1.75, 1.7420 (50% Fib), 1.7250 (previous low), 1.7050.
My orders planned on weekend were wonderful, but unfortunately I didn't set up them.

UC:
Sell limit 1.16 with SL 1.17.

Friday, 5 September 2008

GU:
Support 1.75, 1.7420 (50% Fib), 1.7250 (previous low), 1.7050.
Sell limit 1.79 (44 pips above R2) expires Monday evening, SL 1.80 (31 pips above R3).
Buy limit 1.7520 with size of 2, SL 1.7480.

UC:
Sell limit 1.12, change the SL from 1.13 to 1.125.
Add sell limit 1.13 with SL 1.135.

GJ:
GJ has a new low on Friday at 186.17 while the major support is 187.50 (38.2% Fib). Next support is 179.40.

EU:
EU has broken out down support 1.445 (TL) and 1.43 (previous low). The next support is 1.4125 (2007.10.22 low) and 1.4015 (2007.10.9 low).
Action:
Sell limit 1.4479, SL 1.4572. Buy limit 1.4020, SL 1.3920.

AU:
As James Chen said, 0.8000 has been served as R/S. Upper R and Lower S is 0.7680 and 0.8500.
Action:
Change current buy limit from 0.7682 to 0.8040, SL 0.7980. Look at the price. If it break down 0.7970, sell with target 0.7680.

UJ:
It is said UJ doesn't respect TLs or channels as good as other pairs. Friday it respected 105.5 support very well. Upper resistance is 108.50 and 110.60.
Sell if break out down 105.5.

I should not blindly listen to any other people, even "highly respected" professional traders!

this week: +0.426%
5 weeks ending 5 September: +2.819%

Lost -3.0% because of blindly listening to my "tutor". Otherwise
this week: +3.426%
5 weeks ending 5 September: +5.819%

My buy limit of AU at 0.8170 with SL 0.8070 was a bad trade. If I look at the monthly chart, I should look previous H/L within only last ~6 years.

Wednesday, 3 September 2008

Monday, 1 September 2008

UJ:
UJ quite respects the 38.2% Fib 107.63 on the daily chart from 2008.5.22's low 102.73 to 2008.8.15's high 110.66. The next 50% Fib is 106.69. Daily TL shows support at ~106.8.
Today's S1 is 108.29. Single daily bar 61.8% Fib is 108.27. I have said I should not enter a trader based on a single daily bar. But as 108.50 is a strong S/R, I will enter this trade at this critical S/R.
Action:
Sell Limit at 108.25, SL 109.25. Buy limit 106.75, SL 105.75.

Saturday, 30 August 2008

This week has been bad for me. In my memory I didn't lose money if I enter a trade at major S/R based on daily/weekly/monthly chart, but lost some money if the trades are based on a single daily bar (e.g. 61.8% Fib of a single daily bar).

SO I SHOULD ALWARYS ENTER TRADES AT MAJOR S/R BASED ON DAILY/WEEKLY/MONTHLY CHART!

EG:
Sell limit 0.8100, SL 0.8150.

UJ:
Likely to drop.
Sell stop 107.60, SL 108.8.

EU:
The weekly low TL shows the support of next week is 1.4464. The lows of last 3 weeks are 1.4658, 1.4629 and 1.4571. The projected low in next week is 1.4513 and 1.4455. These 2 supports are not as reliable as 1.4464.
Action:
Buy at 1.4515, SL 1.4364 (1.4464 - 100pips).

GU:
The first support 1.8312 has been effecitively broken. The second support 1.8021 is 23.6% from 2005.11 to the highest. The 3rd support 1.77** is a TL on the monthly chart. The 4th support 1.7428 is 50% Fib from 2001.6.
Action:
Sell stop: 1.8150, target 1.8030, SL 1.8250
Buy limit: 1.8030

GJ:
GJ bottomed at 197.60 and didn't quite respect 198.04 which is 23.6% Fib of the last rise from 2008.3.16.

Friday, 29 August 2008

Thursday, 28 August 2008

It's better to miss a good trade rather than enter a bad trade!

GU:
The first support 1.8312 is 61.8% Fib from 2001.6's low to the highest. The second support 1.8021 is 23.6% from 2005.11 to the highest. The 3rd support 1.77** is a TL on the monthly chart. The 4th support 1.7428 is 50% Fib from 2001.6.
Action:
Already bought at 1.8320.

GJ:
GJ H1 is likely to close above Gann.
198.04 is 23.6% Fib of the last rise on daily chart. Buy at 198.15 with SL 197.15

UCa:
On monthly chart it's in a down channel.

this week until now: +0.803%
GU: +1.055%
UC: +0.073% (Low success rate trade. Long UC probably is not a good idea)

3 weeks ending 22 August: 19 out of 33 win. +5.5%

Wednesday, 27 August 2008

EU: Today has a higher high and higher low. Daily MACD shows a bullish divergence, but H4 seems to show a bearish divergence. Drawing 2 trend lines on a weekly chart from highs and lows after 2006.2.26 will find EU has broken down the upper TL. The lower TL shows the support will be 1.444-1.45. Lower support will be previous lows at 1.43. (James Chen support 1.4400-1.4450)
Action: (1) buy at 1.45, SL 1.43, target above 1.49; (2) buy at today's 61.8% (currently 1.4682+ spread (2) at 1.4687).

GU: Both H4 and daily MACD show bullish divergence. But today has a inside bar.

UC: Yesterday has a long upper shadow. Today has a lower high and lower low. However, on a daily or H4 chart, it's in a up channel. The trend is up but some retracement may happen.
Action: Sell at today's 61.8% which is 1.0972. (Closed)
Buy limit at the low TL/Channel at 1.0890, SL 1.08;
Sell stop at 1.078 with SL 1.088;
Sell limit at 1.11 with SL 1.125 (expect retracement).

UJ: Bearish and Sell.

AU: Daily MACD show bullish divergence. H4 is not clear. Today has a inside bar.

Yesterday I sticked to using a tightly TSL when I longed AU. The profit shrank from around 1.6% to 0.48%. A too tight TSL is NOT always good.

Statistically, the maximum TSL for GJ should be 400 + spread = 407 pips (8.13 low to 8.15 high). The second biggest TSL is 337 + spread = 344 pips.

For AU, the maximum TSL GJ may be 222 + spread = 225 pips (8.13 low to 8.21 high).

EU: +0.2%

EU: -36 pips or -0.24%;
GU: +10 pips or +0.054%;
UC: -34 pips or -0.309%

It's a pity that I closed my short of GU. The reasons that I closed my GU are 1) I saw a doji bar on daily chart; 2) Several pieces of importance news of USD will be released on Tuesday, and I was worried the news would be bad for the USD.

A possible scenary described by lilmoe,
1) EU/GU down, GU down to 1.82 or 1.79, UJ sligthly up, bring GJ down to well below 192;
2) Then EU/GU starts correction (up), which means UJ down.

GU and EU have been stopped out with a loss. Short GU @ 1.8480 with + 0.44% profit.

Saturday, 23 August 2008

AU:
Friday is little bit bearish indicated by a very slighly lower high and a very slightly lower low. The long position should be closed at appropriate time, and try to open a short position. Friday's high/low 61.8% is 0.8745, open/close 61.8% is 0.8746, Monday's R1 is 0.8763.
Action: long position's TP @ 0.8740, Sell limit @0.8740/0.8760.

EU:
EU is not so bearish as AU. Friday has a lower high but a higher low.

GU:
GU seems to be even more bearish than AU with a much lower low. Friday's high/low 61.8% is 1.8675, open/close 61.8% is 1.8680, Monday's R1 is 1.8705.
Action: long position's TP @ 1.8670, Sell limit @1.8670/0.8700.

UC:
UC is exactly opposite AU. The short position should be closed. Friday's high/low 61.8% is 1.0914, open/close 61.8% is 1.0910, Monday's S1 is 1.0898.
Action: short position's TP @ 1.0917 + spread 4, Buy limit @1.0898/1.0917 + spread 4.

EG:
As GU is more bearish than EU, this means EG is likely to go up. This can confirmed from EG's H4, D1 and W1 charts. Friday's high/low 61.8% is 0.7948, open/close 61.8% is 0.7952, Monday's S1 is 0.7942. The target may be @ 0.8020, 0.8050, or the highest point 0.8098.

Statistic of early exit positions:

8.21 UCa. Exit because it touched major S/R. -14 pips if not early exit
8.20 EU: Exit because it touched major S/R. -37 pips if not early exit

Entry price: If previous daily bar is long, enter at 61.8% with possible confirming of pivot number S/R.

I worried too much about missing a good trade. Given 12-14 pairs to trade, it's better miss a good trade rather than enter a bad trade.

When using a Fib of previous day's high/low or open/close as an entry price, use 61.8% rather than 31.2% or 50% Fib.

this week until now: -0.44%
GU +1.221%
EG +0.056%
2 weeks ending 15 August: 3.158%, 10 out of 17 win.

EU at critical point. Drawing TLs from highs and lows on weekly chart from 2006.5 will find it. However, both today's high and low are lower than yesterday. Wait for today's close is higher than yesterday to long.

Put them together, we have
G>U>Ca;
G>C>E;
N>U>Ca;
C>U>Ca;
N>A;

Based on the 4th equation, we should see a drop in CaC. When we look at the chart CaC, it can be seen that we just have 6 consecutive white daily bars. A retracement may happen early next week. But the chart also shows that the pair just rised through the upper TL for a potential further rise. If this happens, then the 4th equation is questionable, and C>U should be changed to U>C, and UC may rise further. In this case, the above 4 equations will be changed to,

G>U>Ca>C>E;
N>U>Ca>C>E;
N>A;

Action: Sell EN, UN,

AU +0.02%
GU:-1.299%
GU: 1.6%

this week ending 15 August: +1.789%, 7 out of 11 win, floating loss: -0.803%
the week ending 8 August: +1.369%, 3 out of 6 win.

GU: +1.62%
this week until now: +1.468%

Wednesday, 13 August 2008

I think it might be very difficult for GJ to fall below sub 200 in near future (by the end of next week?). G/U is very close to a strong suppport 1.85-1.86, while UJ has a strong support at 108.5. 1.85x108.5 is 200.72.

I did not trade well these two days. I didn't stick to my rules to let UJ run but closed it too early.
I caught a falling knife on AU. I used low-to-low 100 pips as a AU's SL, but that day AU dropped more than 100 pips from low to low.

EJ: -0.446%
AU: -0.57%
UJ: +0.092%

The GU trade (buy at 1.9045 with SL 1.8980) was based on the monthly Fibo chart. The starting point of Fibo may be chosen incorrectly. One calculated Fibo is 1.9040 and the other is 1.8983. I should have compared different starting and ending points to calculate the Fibo. Furthermore a 65 pips SL might be too tightly for a monthly chart.

One of EU's support 1.495 has been broken yesterday (closed below the support at 1.4893). The next support will be ~1.457. The time to hit the support is expected to be mid Ocbober.

Should closely look at GU.
GU: buy limit 1.8750, SL 1.8680

I closed EU and AU. GU's limit buy touched the SL.
EU: +0.1% (not a good trade. Should write reasons before entering a trade)
EU: +0.037%
AU: +1.285%
GU: -0.65%

The week ends 8 August: +1.369%
EU 1.4930 with SL of 1.4880 has proved to be a very good buying point. Unfortunately I missed the trade. It indicates that a support (or resistance) will be very reliable if it used to be a resistance (or support), and this previous R/S has been visited for 3-5 times in a Daily chart.

Both EU and AU, as well as GU, are quite interesting. Today's AU high (0.8952) is a 38.2% Fibo from last Friday close to open (0.8948), while Today's EU high (1.5083) is exactly at 23.6% Fibo from last Friday close to open (1.5083).

AU support: We have shown an AU support at 0.876~0.877 in one post on August 7. Stronger supports are at 0.8311~0.8432 and 0.80.
(1) 0.8311 is the cross point of a monthly TL from 2001.9.1 low to 2007.8.1 low, and 50% Fibo from 2004.6.1 low to 2008.7.1 high.
(2) 0.8432 is the cross point of a monthly TL from 2001.9.1 low to 2007.8.1 low, and 50% Fibo from 2006.3.1 low to 2008.7.1 high.
(3)0.80 is the resitance in monthly chart.

I am a seller of EU @1.4880 and seller of AU @0.8901. They are in -0.24% and +0.70% profit now.

Saturday, 9 August 2008

EU has dropped through the 1.5260 level and bottomed at 1.4997. The next support levels are ~1.495 and ~1.457


Regarding GU, we already have 6 consecutive black daily bars. This happened 76 times in last 1000 days. Among the 76 time, the 7th daily bar changed to white is 40 times or 52.63%, while 36 times we still get another black daily bar (47.37%).


My trading plan:
EU: sell @1.5320(previous support), SL 1.5400;
or sell @1.5250(daily chart downtrend Fibo 76.4% 1.5243), SL 1.5400;
or buy @1.4930, SL 1.4880 (CT trade?);
GU: buy @1.9045, SL 1.8980 (CT trade?)
UJ: buy @108.50, SL 106.50
AU: sell @0.9200, SL 0.9300

Weekly overview:
AU: -0.37%
UJ: -0.55%
EU: -1.416%
UJ: +0.49%
EU: +0.82%
AU: +2.395%

Total: +1.369%
Although I made some profits from selling EU, I entried the market too late. I should have sold from some 30 pips below the lowest previous support 1.5284, i.e. 1.5250, instead my 1.5100, and thus should have made 150 more pips.

In other words, I should have sold at the exactly same time when I lost my long position at my SL point 1.5250.

Thursday, 7 August 2008


EU buy @1.5364. At 22:00 loss -42pips. Reason for buy is Fibos, which are not as reliable as TLs. Better to use Fibos confirmed by TLs.

Aussie did not pause @0.9022, but @0.9064. H1 and H4 show bullish divergence. Weekly uptrend Fibo chart shows that the next support could be 0.8766.

Daily downtrend Fibo chart shows that the next support could be 0.8786.
Summary: Sell @0.9126, SL 0.9188. At 22:00 +61 pips.

UJ: Yesterday's long position from 108.19 was stopped out @ 109.19. Now buy @ 109.37, SL 108.30. At 22:00 +6pips.

Wednesday, 6 August 2008




Summary: I believe 0.9018-0.9022 would be the target. Long from there.




UJ loss 60 pips, 0.55%. Weekly TL not correct? The real reason should be that 108.50-108.60 serves as a resistance/support, and it was broken.
New UJ chart

EU: 3 entry points: long @ 1.5389, 1.5359, 1.5351. Reasons: Daily TL, Daily Fibo.
