Thread: Volatility Exploit

  1. #1
    I understand it has been said and done before. Use small targets with big stops. Yes, it is unconventional thinking since it does not adhere to logical risk/reward ratio but, beyond handling risk, there isn't a definitive right and wrong.

    This method is simple and quite similar to one that gave me a 90% success rate. I foolishly left that method years back because of one bad trade. The trade ended up being bad because I didn't stick to the egy.

    Since thenI made several attempts to exchange with my very own and borrowed methods. All of that made money a few of this time but dropped over the course of several months.

    Thus, here it is;
    1. Simply trade CHF/JPY - This pair does fad but it will be a lower risk volatile pair. Other pairs will work but they fad more and this method is predied on ching little price movements over time, not trends.
    2. Risk/Reward is inverted - Risk 5 for the benefit of 1. I have been operating with smaller time frames but using larger time frames will get the job done.
    3. Never enter at market price - 99% of the time there are a few more pips to be had equivalent to or more than the spread.
    4. Use an oscillator for a trigger - I utilize a standard stochastic.

    I intend on posting outline at the end of each week.

    You are right when you states assessing volatility. When I use a bot I always place settings which deal with volility.
    Indiors are almost always late vs price action, therefore every person choose his own method.

    Hopefully you have not given up in your diary. I use something similar for little time frames and a 2:1 risk:benefit, counter-trend. Perhaps you could use http://www.myfxbook.com to keep track of your transactions and let's peek into your system too?
    Good Luck.

    I have never been trading as much because I switched brokers. I went from GFT to Oanda and I'm already happy about the smaller spreads. I shut two trades a week after the account opened with Oanda. After 2% deposit fee there is a 4.5% gain in my account.

    Nice ! I like Oanda . I am still hoping to firm up some principles to keep me out. Your information is really solid - A nice, smooth signal is perfect, be picky. Place an entrance order at a price better than the current market price.

    After some searching , I am completely with you on going the unconventional path. The high win % is unquestionably plogically healthful also.

    Well done! I'm struggling a bit myself this week. Initially, you'd said you were concentrating on CHF/JPY, but it seems you examine other possibilities. Care to discuss a short list of that pairs you watch for opportunity?
