SRDC Episode I

Hi Traders,

Ive been away for quiet sometime due to personal and business reasons. But
everything is Pipastic!

Im a starting this new thread to help newbies like me to add to our ever growing
need to learn and grow. Not to compare and judge but to expand our knowledge in
this exciting new era of electronic fx trading where anyone can participate to trade
forex and transform their lives forever.

Another reason is, after many months of forward testing this method (out of 9 that
my team develops), i think, its time to EA it on MT4. You will know the reason why, i
need to EA this method after reading the attach document.

Its a very simple method and very effective. Excellent for newbies and professional
alike.

So, EA programmers out there, please take a look at it and when you dont mind,
help us to create an EA of this method and let the fun begin!

Humbly yours,
OrangeRoshan

p/s Constructive Ideas and help welcome!

WORD DOC:

OrangeRoshan’s SRDC method

This is the simplest way to make profits in forex trading known to me.
Even my grandmother, when she is still alive (bless her soul), can also
trade effectively. It is also very profitable. I think many professional
traders use this method.

It can be applied to all trading platform and need very minimal training
or experience in forex. The reason is because this method doesn’t use
any indicator at all. All you need to know is how to draw 3 types of
line:

1) Support
2) Resistance
3) Trendline

Before the Internet trading era, we trade currencies based on

fundamentals and the use of the three lines. Now, I don’t see why we
still cannot use it.

2
The Daily Chart

Has anyone studied the daily chart lately? I have a friend who trade
mostly on Daily chart only. His name is Warren Buffet, you might know
him! Heheheee….

Now, open your daily chart (candlestick preferably) on your favourite

major pair and watch closely. Take 1 minute and tell me what you
notice (Don’t read the text below yet)?

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BAR EQUAL TO THE BAR NEXT TO IT!

Based on this fact, we can safely assume that, the highs and lows of a
daily candles are unique EVERYDAY (daaaaa…).

Now do this:

1) Draw support and resistance on any of the previous bar. For

newbies and JaJa Binks, Support is the lowest price of the candle
and Resistance is the highest price of the candle. Draw
horizontal lines.
2) Do you see the next candle penetrating the lines?
a. YES: That’s your trade
b. NO: No Trade

SHORT when it penetrates the support line and LONG when it passes
the resistance.

Now do this:

3
 1) Backtest on as many candles as you like, minimum 20
candlesticks
2) Study the number of pips for every available trades (minus
spread)
3) How many candles give minimum 5pips?
4) How many candles give more than 10pips?
5) How many candles give less than 5pips?

Now you have the answer. ARE YOU EXCITED? You should be!

HOW TO TRADE THIS METHOD?

The Preparation

Upon the start of a new Daily candle;

1) Draw the Support

2) Draw the Resistance

….on yesterday’s candlestick please!

Draw the trend lines and determine the trend. This way, you can
expect where the price will go. It is either towards the Support
(bearish) or towards the Resistance (bullish).

4
Taking the trade

It all depends on you, whether you want to babysit the trade or ready
and leave the trade.

Either way, you can still profit from it.

Babysitting – Put a pending stop buy or/and stop sell orders. Wait until
it penetrate either lines, move your stoploss accordingly and deploy
traillock when you have to.

Ready & Leave – Like the above, but with an assign takeprofit and
stoploss. I would recommend a 5pips or 10pips maximum. Why?
Because, some bars only (very few) gives maximum 5pips.This way,
losing trade is almost non-existance!

Things to remember and my recommendation only:

1) Pick low spread pairs because of obvious reason.

2) When placing pending orders, please don’t forget to include the
spread + 1 or 2 pips as an extra precaution. Because
sometimes the force is not with us (don’t want the order to be
executed on the line and the price reverse!).
3) Watch the monthly / weekly highs and lows. I would avoid a
trade when it is near to the H&L. Price might reverse against
your favour before it hits your takeprofit.
4) Don’t trade to many pairs, maximum 3 pairs only, GBPUSD
EURUSD AUDUSD. Why? Your margin might not allow it.
5) I usually use stoploss of 20-30.

English is not my native language so please forgive my Yoda’s

grammer and I hope you find the SUPPORT & RESISTANCE DAILY
CANDLE method helpful and simple to use.

Welcome to Hapi Pipland!

- end of doc-

Stop loss

Yes and No.

Believe it or not, i sometimes didnt put stoploss for the reason you put forward. This
I learned from a prominent trader which i rather not named. He didnt put a stoploss
when he knows the trend. Knowledge on Fundamentals are important.

However after forward testing it for so many months, I noticed everytime the price
hit either the support or resistance, the price rides to my desire takeprofits, which is
usually between 5 to 50 (depending on the daily and weekly high and lows).

From experience, 20-30 SL is safe.

Yes, its silimar to mouteki in terms of having no indicators but, this is much simpler
and Ive been using it for many years (since 1993) on manual trading via telephone
and telex. Using Internet trading, its more effective because I can execute my trades
almost instantenously.

Tnks

Im running my live and demo accounts on 6 platforms. Where 3 of them are MT4
platforms with 3 different opening times. This is what we have observed:

1. Day high and lows are different due to the platform opening times
2. Therefore Daily candles differ a little bit based on the above and due to broker
spreads and wits.

However, the method can still be implemented regardless of these issues. Backtest
your daily candles and it will give you much confidence.

Why? Because if the yesterday's high is broken, there are still posibilities that the

could have been hit. We cannot see that on daily bar. The best is that backtest it on
1hr time frame.

Just my 2 mini lot point of view.

What is a stoploss? Simple, to stop your losses:

a) When the trend is the reverse of your trade, losses is minimised

b) Not to get of a trade during a temporary reversal.

I see your point. When in doubt about the stop loss, put a bigger SL. Because

6
average penetration of S&R is +-50pips. Or, dont put a SL at all. Not recommended
when still a newbie tho.

Thanks

I agree

I've been using James' price action with the previous day's and week's high and low

confluence.

The key is confluence (other indications not indicators)with price action.

I'll show examples.

Jim

Yes, I agree because it helps to filter the trades. I didnt mentioned it because, i
donot want to make the method too complicated (as it is, it can be very profitable
too) and dont have too much time to explain it in details.

But, you are welcome to elaborate it here, as it will help lots of good traders who
wants to learn.

I have an aperantice who changed the rule and trade using lower time frame. The
result: Disasterous! Daily candles gives a save Margin of pips especially during news.
When it penetrates, it PENETRATES like a jedi saber!

Try this: 5 pips only for each major pairs. The 3 monkeys I mentioned in my doc, will
give u 15pips total of quality pips!

Fomula: 5pips + spread + 1pip: SL Zero (or 25 for you maybe, hehehee)

Put pending orders on a finish daily candle (like when we straddle). Goto sleep and
see your account gain weight the next day!

All the best lol

Trade anytime as long as the S&R are being penetrated. When you see the trade is
30pips away from either S or R, then place your stop orders. Like I said, when it
penetrates, It penetrates!!

The easier way, is placing the stop orders way ahead. This is one of the reason why i
created this thread, to see when anyone can comeup with a good EA for it.

So, place your stop orders and check your account weight tomorrow!! Hahahaa

thanks.
roger

Wait until a new candle emerges. Add 1pips + spread above or below the S&R.
Regarding trailing stop, it all depends on the currency pair. Anything with YEN,
usually demands min of 30TL. EURGBP usually need only 10, and most other pairs
15. This is my usual TL, fm experience.

Thanks!

Not really. There is no such thing as real daily candle. Different bank gives different
quotes. Similarly different broker gives different quotes & spreads. What is
important, the candle on your platform, unless your platform gives 20 spread on
EURGBP!

What would you do if the new daily candle move up/down initially but reverse later ?
- wait for the stop loss to set in and reverse the trade ?
- wait until candle daily closed, hopefully stop loss not hit or candle continue its
original path ?

In your past experience, how often have you encountered such reversals ?
What is your recommended action ?

cheers !

Hmm.. i dont quiet get your question but ill try to help you with my inderstanding of
your question.

Break the profit target into 3, T1, T2, T3 in this percentage 70%, 20%, 10%. T1 is
5pips, T2 is the next 10pips and T3 is up to you. Move your stops accordingly.
Should it reverses, losses is truly minimise.

With the 3 pairs i recommended, it is very rare to have such reversal. In order to
understand this method (using S&R), S=R. Take a scenario during an infantry (war)
invasion. Imagine when the British wants to attack the Germans. The British army
either has to attack France or Belgium 1st in order to get into Germany. They cannot
swiftly attack both countries without any resistance. But when they succeed, they
will eventually attack the Germans.

Pardon my example. Like S&R, the price will take time to penetrate the S&R, they
(the British Army) might have to go back to the nearest base to get some more
ammunation again & again, but eventually when they succeed in breaking the
resistance/Support they USUALLY wont retreat, they will move forward quiet far!!

Like i said, with the Daily candle, WHEN IT PENETRATES, IT PENETRATES! Minimum
around 5pips + spread. A good enough trade in terms of quality pips.

Hope that helps!

Lou G question: If price rises above/below support/resistance more than once in a

day do you place a new order each time e.g. price rises, I enter order, take profit at
10 pips, price falls past stop loss then rises above/below support/resistance again,
do I open another order?

OrangeRoshan answer:
Excellent Question!

The answer is NO. The move may already been exausted, therefore price penetration
may cease.

+10pips is better than -10pips

forex...

BTW, I like this simple method you presented here and I will try it for sure...

Regarding tlatomi, I found that NonLag indicator (yellow line) is all you need for
collecting 10 pips profit, you can turn off other two indicators...

I have started to backtesting it yesterday, 24 trades through April and May give 10
pips for sure... I have found 2-3 times yellow after yellow signal( I didnt get to these
trades in backtesting yet), but the reason for that was BOE rate statement so it can
be avoided ( no trading at these BIG days)...

So, opinion is appreciated...

Thanks in advance.

Ferovca

Excellent. You have discover what traders called "success trading rythm" or "Holy
Grail". It is a method whom you feel most comfortable and feel in control. Many
traders were looking for the holy grail in the wrong places. Stay with it and make it
your own system. This way, consistent pips can be made. Visit
http://www.robbooker.com/Strategy10.pdf, as this will reinforce your 10pips
strategy.

With this method, you are quiet right to avoid News and EMAs are lagging indicators
and they couldnt cope with volatile markets unlike S&R.

Welcome to Hapi Pipland.

the end of the day (The 70%, 20%, 10% rule is a little harder to implement, because
you need to keep track of 3 orders – or am I missing something?) Keep it simple
with just 1 profit target at the moment with manual inputs of SL, TP and TL

Please take a look.

It's surely not optimal, yet. So any suggestions are welcome. For example, should
the second order be deleted when the first gets triggered? Definitelly not, as some
daily candles are shorter than Yoda, so both trades can be profitable.

Backtesting suggests it works best on GBPUSD and with larger sl/tp targets. Though
striving for 5 pips will give you ~90% winning trades, the costs of spread and
remaining loosers seem to kill it. Thats why im here. By forward testing, that
shouldnt be the case. Its either:

(1) SL is to tight (like jabba's Underwear)

(2) or traillock can be adjusted

When this EA is perfected, I will continue with Level 2 of this method to triple its
capability in mining pips using 1hr chart and FIBO. Yes, It works best with cable.

Thanks for such a great team player

Scalping my way to Alderon

Hmmm.. Interesting Question.

All brokers love scalpers. This way they make multiple spreads and commissions.
However, getting 5 pips using a strategy that is consistently winning is not scalping.
In my opinion, there is also nothing wrong with scalping. I have a trading friend who
trade in yards not lots. He gets off the market after 5pips. I asked him why 5pips?
why not 10 or 100? He smiled, and said to me, "Winnings and 100% consistent is

11
the goal". I agree with him, especially when a single trade is in billions!

I forwardtesting my method in a number of platforms, IBFX, Multibank, GCI,

Dukascopy and a proprietory platform with a personal hub.

Thanks.

up with my other platform. 1,000 Apologies
4) No SL at all? Maybe set it to 1000 pips for the moment.
Yes, I realised Mt4 EA wouldnt execute a trade when it is 0SL. So, puting the
logic to false will do it.

I hope I explained it correctly too..

I Love Monday

Remember the classic I hate monday thingy? Bob Geldof sang a song about it.
Monday huh!! Who likes Monday? After a long weekend, back to work!

Hahahahaa... Not anymore!! With SRDC method you will love monday!!! Look at the
sunday/monday TINY candle. Apply SRDC method and what do you see? TAKE 3
MINUTES PLEASE!

EXACTLY!!

YES, its pure quality pips all week round. Imagine you only trade once every monday
with a bit bigger Risk%? What do you have? A FAT ACCOUNT!!

Enjoy your weekend and trade just on monday and rest for the whole weekdays and
double your account every month.

p/s when you are married, its time to talk to your wife about paying the mortgage

Many traders face this issue, they found a good system and they spoil it by trying to

and effective no sugar added.

Excellent!!

Thanks for the compliment and I agree 100% about discreaniary trading (manual) is
always better than Robot trading (EA). The question is, For how long? Ever read
book by Robert T. Kiyosaki, The cash Flow Quadrant? It talks about generating
passive income is better than active income.

I am trading manually and making $$ with it, but what happens when I choose to
retire? Even when the EA gives only 10% a month, I will be happy, at least I can use
my othertime doing other things that I really wanted to do.

This is what this tread is about. A forum for new and experience trader to help me
build an EA based on a successful system. I give my system, the forum give me an
EA. Everybody's happy. A well paid 2way charity.

Isnt it fantastic!

Think outside the box

Iya,

When Alpari doesnt give you that cute candle, use IBFX demo and trade on your
Alpari. Just do it every Monday. Tue, Wed, Thu & Friday, use your Alpari candles.

How that for an idea? :P

You simply trade in the direction of the candle color.

The author even included the indicators and workspaces.

Yes, that may be and many others. Its so simple dunno why many didnt see it and
continue to put a gazillion indicator on their chart hoping to filter trades and spot
trades. I didnt say, Its not adviceable, because I also uses MAs on the SRDC level 2
but modestly. Most new traders are exposed to too many indicators, that they end
up wrongly using it and failed miserably.

The most successful trader I know are using simple tool and basic techniques. Simple
works.

Pipasticly true!

You can try at least to check if pending orders will be opened , just open a demo
account and set Starttime as your actual broker time and EA should opens in few
seconds all pending orders without needs to wait until midnight. Its on now,
awaiting results. I put it on 3monkeys.

However in backtest any EA based on S&R Daily seems to be not profitable at all if a
SL is set because most of time price hit pending orders so order is opened then
retrace and hit SL
I also see that you usually don't put a SL, but this is a very high risk if you are
planning to use an EA.
What do you think about this?

To sl or not to sl? That is the question Mr. Spock.

Frankly speaking, and probably this is not a good advice, I hardly use a stoploss
(with the exception of Black Friday, once a month). I exit bad trades only when I
know the longterm trend changes. However this needs experience on Fundamentals.
Many websites like fxstreet and dailyfx gives good fundamentals outlook (just in case
some padawan asked).

The idea of using an EA, for this method is NOT to use a SL at all. Implement it on a
Mini account, say USD500. Then let the bot do the work. When it lose money, then
stop using it. Its minimal risk. Most people lose more than USD500 on any given day
even with a SL.

14
BUT, when the EA gives positive results and makes passive income for the trader
who chose to take this path, then SL or no SL. I dont give a flip!!

Do what ever it takes intelligently as long as Jabba dont go knocking on your door,

Good Question! (eyeing on the 600sl?) lol

Set via f8 on the period separator and you will see a vertical dotted line showing the
week days ending and starting.

I dunno about other brokers, but on my IBFX platform, between friday & Monday,
there will be 2 dotted lines with 2 candles on it. Sometimes the candles are on the
lines or inside the lines. It doesnt matter. Get the smallest candle and straddle on
the S&R. Chances of hitting both are extremelly high.

I will go over in more details on Monday trading with SRDC on my next next post.

EA programmers, can we incoperate this in our EA when the 1st objective is clear?
Traders with SRDC will loooooove monday!!

howard

Yes it is correct. Because its pipastic.

This may suprise you, increase the SL when you think it will hit earlier.
Tis method is extremelly predictable. I know the ratio thingy. But, that doesnt apply
here. It is simply, trading psychology states when S&R are broken, chances of prices
to ride along is very high. BUT, there are exception.

Therefore, I think for newbies and big lots traders, it is best to target small pips and
increased the chances of winning to over 80%. Remember: The only reason why
people lose money in Forex is due to negative pips, but when the pips remain
positive, no matter how small, it is still a better chioce. In most methods, pips
harvested are not quality pips, here it almost is (this in no way suggest this is a
better method or comparing with other method, but its a fact).

Daily Charts? Of course. The margin to harvest 5pips is better than smaller time
frames. You might asked why not weekly candles? Well, we dont want to overuse our
margin and waited a week to get 5pips do we? Therefore, Daily candles are ideal.

All the above are just my thoughts and experience that help me to be profitable from
day 1 (thanks to my prior experience).

I hope that helps. May the force be with you

Thanks!

Yes, of course. I was waiting for someone to ask me this.

GBPUSD is the most volatile of all, 30-50sl should do it

EURUSD is amlost like cable but a bit sober
AUDUSD is really downunder, 25-35sl usually is ok.

However, remember when you are aiming 5pips only, try and trade on Monday &
friday (except this friday) to harvest maximum pips. It might help you to recover
somelosses just in case the pairs went into extacy and stooped your sl.

May the force be with you

in this model.

Yes, right on target Doug!

I sometimes use this method when I know market is ranging and candles is simply to
long. The thing about S&R sre, when it penetrates it penetrates, but when it doesnt,
it usually stay right on the border. Thats why TP is very viable when your entry is

17
from yesterdays open or close.

Lastnyte, a padawan tried this method on GBP which is not ranging YET, his sell
orders got triggered at 1.8955. When he uses the support (1.8960), his trade wont
get triggered. The price went Superman, up up up!

Still, its worth exploring. For now only when the market is in indecision that Dmark
method come useful.

http://docs.google.com/View?docid=dcrg7fj_10czf5mr

Seems like you are leaving pips on the table by waiting for the high/low to be
breached.

Excellent! Quality pips are pips that are perdictable and consistent. We use the term
alot, dunno about others.

GBP/USD = 90% of the time 20pips target hit.

EUR/USD = 90% 10pips hit.
Now what is our major target is only 5pips/pair? Thats right...the unswer is 99.9%

FJedi

Lastnyte trade on AUDUSD was around 52pips. I dunno how you lost 20pips unless
you have a SL less than 30pips.
Anyway, I use 1-2pips + spread (3pips).

Say Resistance is 0.7701. My Pending Stop Buy is 0.7701 + 2 + 3 = 0.7706

Lastnyte I got the full pips as my TL is 35pips. I made pips while I was sleeping.

Draw trend line and watch the trend direction. When the trend is upwards, which is
the case now, and with fundamentals; Dollar weakening and Down under economy is
getting stronger, especially with possible Interest Rates hike, AUD is a sure Up Up
and away!! I know its near to May High, this friday when dollar's data is weak,
expect the croc to rise on the bay.

AUDUSD is a very sober pair, movement is not erotic, just like their crocordiles,
friendly bunch!! Traillock of 35 should get you maximum pips or at least a winning
trade at the end.

I hope my explaination makes Aussie dollar not only Cents.

turned negative but I know it will reverse due to the trend, then i will sleep with my
trades eventually changes to my favor.

When I wokeup and its still negative I reaccess the trade and might hedge it instead

19
until the trend favors me. Just a word of caution. You need experience and
emotionless to do this, otherwise close the trade. Theres always another day. Due to
this, risk management is important. Losing trade is norm nothing to fear because
you made winning trade more than losing.

5pips at a time, especially when brushing croc teeth!!

Cheerup!!

Its a wonderful world

I dont quiet get your question but i will try to answer it.

The charts we see in our platform solely depends on the Broker's server. With IBFX
and Multibank, Dailycandle starts at 6am Brunei Time, 17:00 EST, 22:00 GMT, 09:00
Sydney and 22:00Z UTC.

Its fantastic, after solat, put pending orders, greet the kids & wife, b'fast with them,
take a short peek at the charts, then walk slowly to my soft dreamland bed smiling
knowing, its another goodday for me.

Thank God!

In Forward testing for 5pips manual is 100% so far since this thread is open. In the
Ea, it loss because the SL got hit. generally 3:2 with my setting I posted earlier!!

I use 1hr to enter and exit too. I can draw the high & low of
yesterdays using the 1hr chart. This way, I can spot market
sturucture and price action in macro.

Seems to be Strategy Testers built in 'realism factor'.

Everything else equal, a quick optimisation showed best results with TP=78 and
SL=32.
So what about splitting the order to reach different profit targets? Could this increase
overall performance?

Excellent findings. 80% of profit should be taken as T1 and T2 the remaining 20%.
Should the trade goes against us, 20% of 32SL wont be so bad. Have options for
entering the percentage and the T1 & T2 values. AND no need to include cTp0. LOL

I i have well understand about put "Buy stop" or "Sell Stop" u take the High and Low
then you add +1 or +2 and you add again the spreak of the brooker. So we have for
example : High 1.2700 then BuyStop is 1.2704. Thats correct!

If i take the cable on 2006.11.02 High is 1.9107 so i bs at 1.9111 but next day bar
reach 1.9116 then reverse. But in this reversal case if i put a SL this trade is looser.
How i can do for dont enter this trade. Of course if i put TP at 5 pips it's ok. But if i
dont do this i lose. Ok, in forex trading, losing is part of the game. When you
dont want to lose, move your stoploss to breakeven, it may cut your profit
short, but winning quality pips are more frequent.

I have see this case many times. Thats why i strongly suggest for 5pips profit for
beginners Until you can master fundamentals, price range & actions, then only you
can go for bigger pips. 5pips is GOOD!!

Sorry for my kitchen english... But thanks to help me to understand and win more
than i lose. Dont worry, at least we can speak english. Yoda's english is
worst, he took english 101 exam many times, still failed. When they check
who taugh him, he said,"Jaja Binks!!"
Oxyd

May the force be with you!!

Im light years away....

Sorry I didnt do anymore trade update because, as my trading partner says,"Its a

pipster's way to riches".

The method 99.9% gives winning pips every trading days. So, im just here,
backtesting the EA, modified it a little, or wait for more genius to help me create
aother version.

In time I will open a new thread for SRDC Level 2 so traders can easily browse and
learn more effectively. For new traders, click to review the whole thread and print
them for your personal copy. That way, you can bring it anywhere and add new

If the close of the day was within 25 pips of the high or low, don't take the trade.
Again, you may want to adjust this a little based on volitility.

Today we had a few pairs opened right at or near the high:

EurUsd 3
EurJpy 5
UsdChf 2

It has the 10-12 TP with a 25-30 SL.

yes, thats a good suggestion, as i sometimes apply them in a similar way. You may
add more of your methods in this thread when it compliment the current system.
The reason I didnt mentioned it, becoz I was trying to keep things simple. S&R on
daily candle with 5pips target. Any newbie can do it and never have to complain
about not making any pips.

Most newbies want to make a 100 pips in a week and expect to become millionaires
next month! They try every available method they can get hold off without proper
experience and understanding of T.A & Fundamentals that they are using and
studied. And many times, newbies get burnt.

Your mentioning of price range is indeed a powerful addition to SRDC, but be

warned, when you are still struggling to get used to the basic of SRDC, i suggest, to
still keep it basic! Otherwise, grow your knowledge with more experience and make
this method your own, eventually.

I've tried it last night with the following pairs :
EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD and USD/CAD

23
Guess what happened.......

I have an account with oanda and traded one standard lot.

The long orders on EUR, GBP and AUD were all triggered.

The short order for USD/CAD also this morning.

Here are my profits :

USD/CAD : +15 Pips

EUR/USD : +21 Pips
GBP/USD : +28 Pips
AUD/USD : +13 Pips

In summary I made 77 Pips => 770 € during the night !!

Good!! Move Sl to beakeven points (say 10pips min) to safeguard profits.
I know that this results are not the normal case but its really amazing
LOL
By the way I didn't close the trades after 5 Pips but let them run with
a stop loss of 30 Pips.
5pips are for beginners to save guard them. Reap the pips by all means..
Do you ever have tested to set the support and resistance lines to
the open and close prices of the candles ?
Yes, somewhere in this thread also asked the same question. SRDC is pure
basic, modified it to anyway that works for you, and make it your own
system.
Is there any remarkable difference in profits ?
Usually more pips!

My result from testing this is :

"THROW AWAY ALL THIS INDICATORS !!"

"PRICE ACTION ROCKS !!"
LOL
Thanks a lot and hoping to read new things soon.....

With kind regards

Bernhard from cologne in germany

By the way I will forward test the method and will start at the beginning of
2007 with 5000 € to trade this method exclusively.
Use proper risk management control, subscribe to James16 in FF to learn
more (i endorsed what i think works, even tho im not affiliate in any way)
For this I will open a new thread in January 2007.

I cant wait to see it!

To OrangeRoshan: I have appreciated you posts back then when the Sidus method
started (I vividly remember you post about 500 Pips in one single day with that
contest you where running against your trading buddies! Wow....I never got
there...into "THE ZONE"....) Do you mind if I go through this method in a step-by-
step way? (like an EA for human dummies.... ). Ok, here it goes: I didnt win it,
Damn.....

1.) It's midnight (im in Europe GMT+1) the day is over. A new battle...ehm...day is
ahead. I draw the horizontal line at the HIGH of the candle (upper wick) and draw a
horizontal line at the LOW of the candle (lower wick). Yesterday (now it is Tuesday,
Nov 7th,) the GBP/USD had its high at >> 1.9027 and low at >> 1.8946. Cool
baby!!

2.) I enter TWO ORDERS (right? pls correct me where I'm wrong...). Number ONE:
BUY STOP at: 1.9027 + 4 Pips Spread + 1 Pip donation to the council this gives me:
1.9032 as the trigger to enter the trade as a BUY/BULLISH trader). As jedi, the
1pips donation will be use for good only
Number TWO: SELL STOP at: 1.8946 + 4 Pips Spread + 1 Pip for Mr. JarJar to have
a Beer, this gives me: 1.8951 where my trade will SELL.
(Here is my first question: is the last statement correct, do i ADD the pips to the
LOW figure or subtract??? ) jarJar shouldnt drink too much. It should be
subtract = 1.8941

3.) Enter Stop Loss and Take Profits for both Orders (the difficult part of the manual,
at least for me): put for both 40-50 Pips Stop Loss and 5 Pips Take Profit (this is the
Beginners version, others move the SL to Breakeven and trail the trade to higher
highs or lower lows).The council agrees

4.) Sit and Wait. Or better watch: Star Wars Part 1 - Part 6 and memorize all the
terms, so I can come back and understand Forex better. I suspect that somewhere
in the movie I must have missed something as you have been inspired by that movie
to be so "pipastic". Then.... wait for Yoda to marry Mr. Spocks sister. At 1st
Mr. Spock was upset yoda marrying his sister, he said, "Its illogical" (I
warned master yoda that 25/5 is not 14)
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=25%2F5%3D14 , tried to do the
shoulder trick on Yoda, but failed (obviously, yoda's height was a definite
advantage). Then, Yoda told the Jedi council how colourist Mr. Spock has
been. The emperor tried to recruit Mr. Spock earlier (because anger leads to
the darkside), but didnt succeed, coz Mr. Spock cant see himself with a light
saber. Yoda, very determined to win spock's sister, do the flip trick in front
of spock. Vulcan will never buy that, still. Then, as green as he is, Yoda told
Spock,"Long is my ear, too", "I sense, related we may be".

25
That got spock at last, now I cant wait to see their 1st child!

Is that it? Just that? Bewarn of Month/weeks/year's high and lows. The price
might be as reluctant as the Vulcan cousin to join the federation.

Thanks my friend. Let the "Forex Force" be with you (and me ) btw, did you see

total: +45 pips

Written by John Kicklighter, Currency Analyst

The following is our monthly correlations update for October. As we have mentioned
time and again before, correlations between different currency pairs will inevitably
shift over time, therefore it is of utmost importance to keep abreast of these
changes. Below are the one-, three-, six- and twelve-month correlations for the
seven major currency pairs. Additionally, we have included the six-month trailing
correlation versus the EURUSD as further confirmation of the correlation.

In order to be an effective trader, it is important to understand how different

currency pairs move in relation to each other. There are a few reasons why this is
significant, but most importantly, it allows traders to understand their exposure. That
is, having a portfolio that consists of the EURUSD and GBPUSD is different than
having a portfolio comprised of GBPUSD and USDCHF. As indicated in the tables
below, over the past month, the GBPUSD has had a strong positive correlation
(+0.89) with the EURUSD and a strong negative correlation with USDCHF (-0.91).
Therefore having a long GBPUSD and long EURUSD exposure would generally lead to
negated or nearly zero profit or loss because when the GBPUSD rallies, USDCHF will
sell off the majority of the time. Of course, these two currencies have different pip
values and the correlation is not perfect, so the P/L may not be exactly zero. On the
other hand, holding long GBPUSD and long USDCHF exposures would be similar to
nearly doubling up in one of the pairs since the correlation is so strong. Furthermore,
we can tell from our tables that correlations shift with time. For example, the
NZDUSD has historically held a statitistically weak negative correlation to the USDJPY
(-0.28) over the past year. Just this past month, however, this relationship has
developed to more relavant levels (-0.61). Shifts such as these can be partially
explained by changes in the severity of monetary policy or changes in unique
domestic conditions. Overall, having this knowledge will allow traders to effectively
diversify and manage their portfolios.

27
Regardless of your trading strategy and whether you are looking to diversify your
positions or find alternate pairs to leverage your view, it is very important to keep in
mind the correlation between various currency pairs and their shifting trends.

S=1.2722, Sell Stop 1.2717, Buy Limit 1.2712
My High is 1.2819 and my low is 1.2723. Im not clear why you use Sell/buy limit,
maybe GFT uses different terms or messa clearly dont understand your points. In
MT4, limits are use for reverse trade only.
My question on the Resistance, the order will not trigger until 2822 therefore after
spread = 2825, then limit = 2727 for only 2 pips??
My IBFX platform gives me EURUSD spread of 2pips and Dukas 0.5 pips.
My question on the Support, the order will not trigger until 2717, spread is calculated
on the buy, so a buy limit at 2712 becomed 2715 after the spread for only 2 pips
again??
Some platform includes spread in their order whilst some doesnt. MT4 i notice
doesnt, therefore you have to add them manually when issuing pending orders. I
dont know about GFT, i havent use my live account since last month. Im actually
fedup with their execution policy and PR (Messa dont want to elaborate here)
How should these orders be entered? I use GFT. Thank you in advance!

Just remember this:

R:1.0000

Therefore Add spread + 1 to 2 pips. I sometimes even add 5pips. For this example,
Spread is 2 and Margin is 2.

Pending buy stop is now: 1.0004. Your orders will be activated when it hits 1.0002
which when you check including spread at your orderbox is 1.0004.
They activate your orders on the actual price but on the order sheet is spread
included. I suppose thats why we get -2 as we entered the trade.

When messa think this sounds complicated, do wat my 14yr old son did, just add

29
10pips on normal majors!! He is now the most loaded selfmade businessboy in his
school with starting account of only USD500 last few months. He made an average of
350pips a month on the 3 pairs. Setting pending orders before he goes to school.

Who needs a job (Just Over Broke)? <---- he said!!

Ok, Trendline drawing is an art. There are many ways around it, and there is not 1
correct way, but beware, there are also many wrong ways.

In SRDC particularly, I drew (as the name apply) Support & resistance trendlines,
which created a channel (parallel trendlines). This way, i can find out whether the
pair will change trend (when it penetrate the trendline) and to see what the range of
the pair (by calculating the channel distance) and to see where is the most probable
price movement of the next candle (by dividing the channel into 2; the mid trend
line).

When the price is near to daily or weekly highs or lows. The price usually bounce
erotically before 2 things happen: 1) penetrate, 2) Not penetrate.

This usually hit your stoploss even when the trend is in your favour EVENTUALLY.

3 losing days @ 20 pips= - 60

Total= +65

That is an average profit of 2.3 pips per trade.

Admittedly. this is a small sample, but that is too small a margin for me to want to
trade this system. hehehe... go more than 5pips then....

I doubt that in actual practice there would have been any profit at all. I didn't (and
couldn't) take into account increased spreads and non-fills on news days other than
NFP.

With a 20 pip SL, going for any more than a 5 pip TP would have resulted in worse
results.

one loss to make any real pips. Are you indeed getting these? LOL, have you tried it?

Just so I understand, you place a limit order to go long at resistance (top of the
closed candle) and you place your take profit at + 5 + spread + 1.

You also place a limit order to go short at support (bottom of closed candle) and you
place your take profit at +5 + 1.

Is this all correct? NOPE. Stop order, limit order is for reversal at least in MT4

Thank you.

Hi 4rex,

Of course you can use anything you like, as long as you feel comfortable and you can
reach to your objective. Y I use it? Hmmmm.... let me think. My native language is
not english. when I was born, my parents speak Bahasa Brunei to me, and because
of that, Im comfortable communicating using that language. But, since english is our
Universal language (even alien speaks it, when you dont believe me, watch all the
movies), I learn it at school and it becomes my 2nd language.

Based on all this, I think its the same, why I use candlestick instead of OHLC or
Renko or 3line break or whateva messa use now. To me, its a matter of preferance,
and majority of people using it (easier communication), and it tell a bit more
information by a single glance compared to others (of course this is my opinion).

Explain, I have...

This is a happy thread

I don't want to start a flame with you, I'm sure that your intent is fine and you want
only to advise newbie-traders to be careful but Orange said a lot of time to test in
demo to practise and then try to trade live.
Reading your posts it seems that you reading only what you want to read and not
the whole posts about this simple (and effective) method.
Yes SRDC method it's not the holy grail, we all know this, there will be losing trade
and we have to live with some loss but with proper money management and
understanding it could be a little step to learn something new and improve our
trading skill. Don't you agree?

Thanks skyline.

Mike, pls look at the previous few pages, i talk a lot about teaching taking more than
5pips. and on my early posts, i taught about moving stoploss and even show the pips
i made where i could get more than 80+ pips but my SL was hit after 50+pips.

Read all the posts and i guarantee you, your warnings are not necessary.

I was like you once, knowing something and strongly disagree based on something i
didnt understand and reserached fully. It died out, as i found out many great things
that i have missed.

I welcome critics but pls do it in a manner in line with this thread, that is humourous
and friendly. But, when you must, email me or PM me.

Thats it for now. jedi council re-adjourned.

Yes and NO

Basic method is SRDC level 1. This method has been perfected with different levels.
Yes, it is my method of trading. No, its not the full system. What i illustrate is basic
coming to level 2.

We dont have to trade everyday. When there is no trade, then no trade. But
remember, as you become familiar with the method, a no trade 2day, means a
bigger pips the next day as the candle will be much longer than the previous.

I wouldn't use a S/L higher than 20 pips. That's a R/R ration of 4/1 and that should
be more than enough.

I myself use a minimum of Spread+5pips as my margin.

Look at the channel drawn on my previous posts. TP and SL can easily be iddentified.
Regarding Win and loss ratio; Many traders will prefer a higher TP compared to SL,
due to the ratio of course. This is indeed correct, but, different methods and
experiences can change that ratio based on 2 things:

1. Number of winning trades - I know renowned traders who had more losses than
wins, but still profitable. How? simply, their Tp is far higher than their SL. In short,
tight SL.

42
2. How the method operates - In SRDC, winning is far more frequent than losing, but
with a big stop loss. In the early part of this thread, it seems the TP/SL ratio is not
rational. As most traders realised, by using trendlines or channels, Tp & SL is clearly
visible. Depending on where the candles are, TP and SL is almost 1:1.

With more frequent wins than loss, where will you be next summer?

Dooo doooo doooo dooooo, here comes the sun... its alright...

Level 2 requires trendlines and the use of MA. It will be on a new thread soon. Im
away fm my usual trading room, actually in Malaysia now. Will probably launch it
after my Pisa trip.

But before that, I need help from everyone to comment on the current EAs we have
for ez integration into L2. Modification & bugs within the confiment of SRDC of
course.

regarding other pairs, of course you may use it, especially when you know those
pairs very well. Price Range and Analysis studies will be Impeccable.

Change it as you see fit and make it your own.

Pay Attention please

Hi all,

Here are the new channel for AUDUSD. The new channel is derived from the candles
not following the rules of coming back to the mid trend, hence a possibility of a new
range downward trend.

This new channel will be useful only when the candles remain in the channel most of
the time. When the candles agree with the channel, im afraid, its no trade for SRDC
L1 with AUD today. The reason is the range is too small for a profitable break on
S&R. But when it breaks, L2,3 will definitelly catch it!

Hope The Duck wont attack Howard.. <== where is that coming fm?

Hope we can find an indicator that will do it automatically.

What is the Level 2 you mentioned?

level two enter the trade before it hits the S&R. Hence more pips. T1 is at H&L and
T2, T3 at other price levels.

In successful trading, other than risk management; Entry and exit techniques must
be iddentified correctly with proper goal. It will be discuss more in Level 2 soon.

I do agree with you, as entry & exit for SRDC varies. When you notice, Im trying to
teach SRDC step by step. Its designed for beginners in mind, hence opened at
Beginners forum.

As one has more experience and have relationship with their pair (wife wont mind),
it will be very easy to devise entry and exit. Fun damentals & channel helps a lot.

Keep at it and make it your own system.

Alex

It all depends on price analysis and price range (channel). Again, like i said, SRDC is
not a fixed system, but rather a simple basic system. Much like linux operating
system, an open system with the same basic.

The 5pips thingy is designed for newbies in mind. Any pro knows with small spread
pair, 5pips is doable. As u sounded familiar with the basic, ride on the profits, with
defensive trading.

The golden rule, "Dont turn a winning trade into a losing one"

Jedi can dance...

Just for fun, not hyping anyone (looking left and right, just in case he is there).
When you look at the daily candles, level 4, the complete system actually start
reaping pips 3 hours after the day candle opens.

This level is developed by the help of my Japanese trading team. It is pure price
action stuff (at the moment). On the other hand, level 3 is more on pure quality
pips. A system to add more pips in between any trade. It acts as an insurance to
previous loss or current negative pips before it turned to positive again. I call it the
Impeccable SRDC system.

The trade psychology for all 4 combined are very complex. But, true understanding
of the SRDC level 1 will be a good start.

Turning pro is not so much on your account size, but more on consistency and
experience. The later cannot be bought or learned, but earned.

My sincere goal is to guide beginners for a good profitable trade right at the
beginning. In due time, a proper EA will be developed that will help others to learn
the method more interactive.

46
Now that's Impeccablly a piping goal.

LOL......

Brilliant!! before i say this i better check the cupboard, or under the table, just incase
someone is listening!!

Ok, its a question of affortability. Let me get this straight to everyone. Prepare to
lose money!! and when you do, put it inside as your investment column, not as your
expenses column. You can put a heading,"Tution fees". please never never never
ever think you can get away without losing money and become rich in the end!!

Dear Traders and would be Millionaires and Billionaires;

Congratulations, you have entered the game of the big boys! The very rich! There
are no rules except one, that is discipline! I must caution you that, this is not a get
rich quick scheme, but a new trillion dollar aday industry. Please dont treat it like a
laundy business or a burger stand corner. because when you think that way, I
suggest you look to your left immediatelly and walk right now and never come back.
There outside the door, you will see a big sign,"DARE TO DREAM, DARE TO TRY".

Prepare to lose money in the beginning. Feel nothing but relief as you are actually
paying the big boys for bullying you. In between your journey, you might meet many
"so call expert", they are actually agents recruited unconciously by the big boys to
take your money away. They are nice and extremelly cautious trader. But make no
mistake, this is not why you are in this game. You objective is to WIN WIn WIN! In
the end, you will know how the big boys think and they will accept you, and bully the
new freshman together.

One of our good agent will call you everytime you trade, his name is Mr. trend. He is
your friend. He will guide you against another neutral agent. he call himself "Mr.
Market".

In the case of emergency, pls cry and shed many tears. We would asked you to take
a week's rest or even a month.

47
Since Mr. Market is ruthless, we would advise you to seek mentor/s on how to
understand him. Let me remind you that, nobody is powerful enough to fight Mr.
Market. He really knows his stuff. Word out there, he can speak multiple languages
and hold many passports!

Anyway, as a final reminder, please use minimal risk as outlined by many. greed has
no place in this industry. So maintain discipline.

Yours Truly;
Mr & Mrs Forex

What is your tolence to loss? How consistent are you in making positive pips? How
calm are you when Mr. trend dissapear for a while?

This is an exclusive industry, pls think big and stay green!!

There......... i let it out. Dont complain and ask for pity. every trade you make is your
decision. Everytime you lose money, ask the question."What can i learn from this?"
when you make money, ask this question,"How can I improve myself more?".

lastly, Stay humble!! NO ONE, I mean No ONE in ths industry is the best or know
everything. With good attitude and discipline.... you will make it!!

Now.... shoot me!!

Cheese anyone...

Everyone saying it but can you be more detailed. I think everyone here will benefit.

This is a broad topic, where one can write a book on it. I will try to explain in brief
and as simple as possible.

In a broader sense, to me Discipline is an act of thinking. It can be divided into

parts:

Humble, Respect, Knowledge, Practice, execution of trades, Consistency.

Risk or Money management is a big part of discipline, and falls under Knowledge,
practice, execution of trades and consistency. That is why it is very important. Skill
can be learnd but disciple can only be mastered.

an example of discipline in terms of execution of trade, would be "always respect the

market. When trend is your friend, Market is your best friend! Market would gives
you opportunity to make money from him, not everytime. To make sure market
gives you pips, Be kind to the market. Dont force entries into the market, he will be
offended and curse you".

From the above Jedi statements, it will give you discipline and in return profitable in
the long run.

May the pips be with you

Orange

I sincerely hope you have all the blessing a man could have for sharing with us your
system

If you kindy answer my concern here as follows:

I am having excellent results with your system. No questions ask.

But my concern is that, for 5 winers, I have 1 loser that will eat most of my profits
due wider stops. I know stop-losses has been something that some people here has
debated here and there. I an not in a position to argue just to see if we can find a
balance between stop-losses and take profits. Its because you dont ride on your
profits.

Maybe an idea would be traling the stops to take advantage of the whole movement
during the day. That way we could balance out and compensate for the losses. Math
101. What is you stop loss? Ride on profits that is equal to your stoploss or
even higher. This way, when a loss occurs, you account is still positive,

Please Orange, my apologies in advance if my tone sounded a little contrarian as it

was not my intention to be Pls dont apologise, Everybody here is learning,
including me.

may the force be with you dear master

be blessed

You need to understand the method more in order to make more pips. Learn price
action and range. Use the channel, this way, you will know the direction of the
candles. Its actually very ez, I mean it and i know soon you will see it too.

succesfully make 5-10 pips with a stop loss of 20-30 pips without monitoring the
trade. So can we really expect to be on the plus side without monitoring our trade?
Yes, you can, especially when market is your best friend. But, like
everything else, as a first step, we tend to be modest, until we are sure
what we are doing.

Think of it like a relationship. Just seeing her and she smile at you will make
your day. a week, and then months. But, as your become more familiar, a
smile and Hi just wont be enough. You want dinner...... a date! When it goes
well, then a few dates and perhaps a 100pips TP which is romance.... and so
on...... :P

I think you got the point. The 5pips bit is designed to boost confidence. To
be able to go to the next move....

One more thing you talk about using channels but I am not clear how to create and
use them. Could you elaborate on it or is that the next step with SRDC 2?

Hmmm... this is what has been bugging me too. I dont know how to teach
online thru forum. One way that you can consider is to draw your own, and
post it and Ill try to correct it as much as I can. Deal?

It is a very important part of SRDC at all levels. More apparent when you
enter level two onards.

Pipastic question!!

Thanks again for your contribution.

LOL

es is EZ (easy) a type mismatch. That was your chart, sorry I make it smaller to
follow the forum's maximum rule.

52
Try drawing the SRDC channel or even Pitchfork (similar) on the 1 hour chart. You
will see, price starts at the median, move either to the High and low then back to the
median at the end of the day. Its not perfect, but thats the general idea.

Now, How to apply to SRDC? When the candles is near to the channel (H 0r L), the
chances of it breaking the trend is slim (unless a trend change). So, the only
probable direction is towards the median and the opossite trendline.

See the prvious day's H & L (S&R). Since you have establish a probable direction, it
is only logical to enter a trade following this direction. Early entry will be possible
without waiting for it to break the previous H & L (actually this is part of level 2
explaination).

In the case of price near the trend line (H&L), T1 is the Median & T2 is break of
previous day's H&L (S&R) and T3 is the opposite Trend. Proper Money Management
will satisfy your lust for Jaba's GF, oppss sorry I mean positive pips!!

The rest is reversal!! When you can master this method, a day range can produce
pips equal to 1 day range x 1.5. Eventually, the price will goback to the median
again at end of the day!!

Understand the above statements, and SRDC level pandora's box is open!!

Alex

I havent complied the rules in a standard manner, coz im so used to seeing the
candles, a glance will click my thoughts to draw it. But, I will try to simplify it below.

Rules on 1hr:

1. Use Euiqdistant Channel to contain the latest trend within the channel
2. 1 day channel is not very accurate
3. 2 days channel will show a trend
4. 3 days channel will complete a channel.
5. Find the Highs of the 1-2-3days and the lows which touches the trendline the
most!! = Channel. An extreme H & L may not count!!
6. Adjust as the next day candles finish forming.
7. Draw a Median (parallel to the Channel)
8. A perfect channel will be when you can draw, the start and end of day to be near
or on the median. However sometimes this is not possible. The nearer the median to
the day start and end the better.
9. use the end of day saperator.

53
10. Use candles & Bear black and bull white when possible. And light background so
Jedi dont have wear glasses!! LOL

Hi Everyone,

Stay motivated as im ready to moved on to level 2. Since Level 2 is not for

understanding of it.

Let me remind everyone, especially beginners: I will not entertain Newbie question
inside the new Thread. Newbie questions should be posted here where it belongs.

Hi Harry, I think you got all the method wrong, sorry mate. You open trades that
penetrated the Support & Resistance, which is the High and Lows of the Daily candle
(switch to daily candle and look at yesterday's candle versus todays').

The Trend lines, The channel we call it has a median ( a parallel line to both the high
trend and low trend lines). This is use to determined and anticipate the candle
movement in H1 chart. You may also draw it on Daily.

Download my original attachment on my 1st post and read thoroughly. As you are a
beginner, pls use demo account only, until you know your stuff. But when you must
use you life account, use minimal, say 0.01 lot.

A stoploss is not necessarily a win/loss ratio But more importantly to keep your trade
a winning one, which in this case Stooped-out on a temporary trend change before

the sell stop hasn't been hit, it's at 1.9320 so I'm very surprised you have a short

Yes. Use Level 2 to evaluate SRDC I. But even at SRDC I, I think, I mentioned this
somewhere in this thread. I would caution you from taking Long in this case as it is
at the year HIGH! Resistance is furtile.

No worries, look at H1 Channel and see where the candle settle. Then you will know

reversal in SRDC is when it touches the trendlines, as the dances in Trend explained
in SRDC II. Its 90% accurate and realtime. The only time its wrong is when a trend
is chanding and a slope is increasing due to momentum.

Please see charts attached with HIGH and LOW of 5th Candle in dotted red lines and
5 min chart for 6th december.

So, to confirm my understanding, to place a straddle just after 5th Daily candle
finishes, I would place two orders, at say 00.03 GMT on 6th December (I'm using
IBX platform).

STRADDLE ORDER:

FIRST ORDER:

BUY @ (5th DAILY HIGH) + spread + 1

5th DAILY HIGH = 1.9084 and assume spread = 3

Threfore place BUY @ 1.9088 (SL = 25 for me )

Take 5 pips profit, therefore close order @ 1.9093

SECOND ORDER:

SELL @ (5th DAILY LOW) - spread - 1

5th DAILY LOW = 1.9674 and assume spread = 3

Therefore SELL @ 1.9670 (SL = 25)

Take 5 pips profit, therfore close order @ 1.9665.

Summary:

Only SECOND ORDER is triggered.

We notice that on 5 min chart LOW of DAILY 5th was penetrated at approx 09.25
GMT on 6th. Which is approximately where my SELL would have opened and quickly
closed. Correct?

Sorry to be so pedantic, but I am trying to get the fundementals in place before I go

any further.

Regards,

Yes correctly done.

Just a suggestion. Take a calculated risk by exiting 90% of the lot at desire TP (SL to
breakeven) and let the 10% ride until an opposite trend candle appear on the
15mins chart. This way, you can harvest more pips with less risk.

Pipastic!!

As usual, at GMT 0000, that's 8.00 a.m. here in Malaysia, i looked at EurUsd Daily -
hi 1.3265 , lo 1.3130 : I put on buy stop @ 1.3269 S/L 30 pips @ 1.3239 and T/P 5
pips @ 1.3274. But somehow, my stop-loss triggered and i lost 30 pips.

But my GbpUsd has gave me 5 pips, and by the time i 'm posting this, my Audusd is
still in negative 13 pips from the buy stop order triggered.

Just want to have your view on this, how could i have been wrong in my eurusd
position? Or it is just another usual thing to happened? Pls bro, i really need your
advice on this..

Terima kasih.
Salam.

Your SL in EUR is too tight.

GBPUSD & EURUSD 50SL

AUDUSD 35SL

Sentiment change after th FOMC

Keep all trades until SL or TP is hit even until the next day.
When its following the trend, take TP highre than 5pips.
Losing trade 2day means winning tommorow. More win s than Losing.

Happy Pippin

SRDC Advance Strategy Part I
Hi Padawans and Grandmas,

Instead of answering all your questions, one at the time (I have 100s a week to
answer, which is almost impossible), I will post this strategy, in the hope it will help
you to understand it more clearly.

Have you ever trade level I, your trade reverses and hit your stoploss, long before
you get your 5pips?

Well, welcome to the secret 10/10 winning 5pips trades, well almost.
With the strategy outlined here, you can harvest more than 5-100pips without
worrying too much on your trade being reverse.

The secret is 15mins chart.

In this timefrane, the candles are drawn every 15mins, therefore filtering many bad
trades. The Rules are:

- Donot enter immediatelly upon penetration of S&R

- Wait until the candle that penetrate the S&R to close
- See, when the next candle is fully formed outside the S&R
- Then when it does, Trade on the next opening.
- When it doesnt (maybe partly went back into S&R) then goto back to the first rule.

.S I M P L E.
Watch the chart provided below and understand the concept. When you can grasp it,
then you dont have to worry me taking part of your account. When you still cant,
then as usual, I will say. "I AM SORRY".

THE FIRST CHART

- The highlated candle is the Fully formed candle after the candle penetration of S&R

- Trade on the Candle shown by the Arrows

THE SECOND CHART

- Look at the Penetration of the Resistence (TOP). In 1hr chart, that would be a loss.
But, with SRDC Advanced strategy Part I, you will avoid that trade because it doesnt
comply with the rules.

May JajBinks sillyness be driven away from you!

In fact the EA is faulty, since it's only trading on the hour. It's supposed to trade at
the close of the second 15 minute candle outside yesterday's hi/lo range.

Lesson: Beware of amateur programmers.

LOL.... I know Skyline more than anyone here. Hes capable of designing worldclass
commercial EA. Give him some credit for doing a free EA for everyone. The version
he did was not meant to work with a live account but merely a confirmation how
powerful SRDC method is.

I think this version automatically calculates the advanced strategy despite anytime

Stay Positive, as SRDC has many secrets right under everybody's nose. It defies
normal trading rules and
