nice job Peter!

first trade is a bit tricky to take as your are trading against the purple line but going out BE there is good. next trade is nice but like you said you chickened out.... don't do this to often or you will make it a happit for yourself and then you will go do that over and over again just trail your stop or set and forget it or you can go out if you get a trigger in the other direction...

Nice trades guys. I wish I had time to trade. On my work I don't have access to my charts.

How do you get that red line (instead of the grey), can you show me what parameter I have to change?

Hi!

Click Ctrl+I on your chart to get the indicators, then double click WavEFXv5_Swings_Alert_I, double click Slate Grey on the Color_Lvl2 line. If you now click on the downward pointing triangle which appears on the right you can select red or any other colour.

The following users say thank you to juakali for this useful post:

It was my daytrading day again and it was so relaxed, i'm really getting into it. In the past i opened dozens of orders and most of the time lost in the afternoon what i made in the morning (if i was lucky). Now just 2, RR of 1:1,8 and i was happy with it. Just 3 hours of trading, no more. I watch eurusd and gbpusd, and sometimes usdcad/audusd on the 2017 2-chart setup.

It's a pity i can only trade for real 1 day a week...

About that cherry picking;

I myself trade reversals only on good locations (SR zones) and sometimes a trend continuation, although it seems to be harder than it should be. Trends don't always continue like i expect. Needs some work from me i suppose. I don't do breakouts and counter trends yet.

thats picky 😉

and let me give you a tip.... in my opinion you can't do something sometimes... so you do it or you don't. it's easy for yourself to do it that way so you don't doubt yourself when it happens.

and i only trade level 1 style of triggers for confurmed turns and trendcontinuation.... and breakout trades are often trendcontinuation trades.

 

got my first one on the GU (small lotsize to see how it goes) and on the 5 is pretty jumpy

Hi 🙂 I would like to share my charts too. I also started to use just one chart. When I want to see bigger picture I switch to one pair for a while and/or multiply renko size by 4 directly from remote control bar. Still I am not able to trade so fast as renko 5 - too small reward and too fast changing of the direction. I rather work on how to trade bigger waves ... I found out I get out of trades too early ... 🙂 It seems that I made my charts similar to Koeart's ones but 4 charts per screen are enough for me.

Thanks 🙂 I always say I will keep it simple... and cannot resist to add more things: the harmonic patterns - still they are additional confirmation and illustrate situations when you have lower low and higher high situation which is generally confusing. They do not work all the time of course. I made another modification I forgot to mention: I use WavFX Support/Resistance indicator with standard 240 TF not H3 (180) because it's standard and does not rely on H3 renko size (I do not generate H3 chart now). Thus at any renko size 18, 72 or 144 for EURUSD for example I see one and the same S/R boxes. ... And the last modification is that I added ZZ 144 to count easily waves from a higher TF just from one chart. 🙂

I had exactly the same fail Sjoerd. Same mistake and also trying to be too clever. Mea culpa!
