Manual trading has the advantage of being able to take fundamental analysis into account

Manual trading is a fast way to lose money. Tooo many feelings get in the way

Well, I don’t trade structure based, my main weapon is news trading! So I rely on info and details on it! By the way, NFP is my most favorite new session.

Bounce back price patterns from TrendLines and Febonacci levels are some of the best trade set ups. You need to get a confirmation from Febonacci retracement levels for accurate trade entries.

Also, same is applicable for TrendLines. Though there is nothing as a 100% accurate entry, but Febonacci trading can give almost 90% accuracy of trades with almost no drawdown if the entry is right at the right febo level and during volatile markets.

Stochastic cross over is also a nice set up when combined with candle patters

How would you backtest manual trading on 10 years tick data
How would you avoid emotions, sickness, sleep etc...
Only good trade setup is the one executed by backtested EA.

Best results are achieved by using a FINGER too
exquisite entries with calculated exits

depends on what button you are pressing.... hence the question at the start of the post :)

If your entry setting is pure chart then what are you looking for on your chart?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a project to build a database of the most popular trade setups and need your help and input so we can all help each other trade more successfully.

To get the ball rolling the attached image is an example of one of my favourite trade setups.

The key things I am looking for in this setup are:

1) MACD has moved above 0 showing the end of the trend.
2) The MACD histogram bar remains close to 0
3) A Stochastic Cross occurs between 0 and 30 - If the MACD conditions have been met, the Stochastic cross acts as the trigger event to open the trade.








This is a one of my favorite trade setup. It’s simple and effective most of the time. Stock breaks out of long term consolidation, hits the nearest resistance. A long entry will be at the break out and exit at resistance. Next day, watch the stock for a follow through and look for a long entry on a higher low or on previous day high.
To change your trading result, just change your thinking.
