hi
can I have informations on your system?

thx

Hi Ciccio,

As you can see from my profile I am looking for trends in AUD/JPY that will last longer then couple of days. But mostly I trade GBP/JPY, I wait for certain patterns and then I pull the trigger. What else would you like to know?

Kurak,

Very nice trading. How do you determine the trend and what time frame are your trades based on? Also, do you place your trades at a particular time of day such as during asian session or london session? Thank you.

Forexnetworth,

If we are talking about AUD/JPY I don't determine the trend actually, I rather look for bottoms and tops using S/R but mostly hunch and Fibonacci. Fibo levels works great on this pair on daily charts, I am amazed how accurately it marks highs and lows.

If we are talking about GBP/JPY I play usually short moves (40 - 50pips). I use daily timeframe to determine daily ATR, and timeframe from 15m to 3h to trade. I play aggressively such scenario: let say that daily ATR is around 200 pips, market moved already around 250-300, no major news and we are reaching some Supp or Ress - I play counter trend for 40 to 50pips profit. I put my trades on this pair mostly between London and NY sessions. I was testing breakouts at the beginning of London session but with no good results. I've read on your profile that you mastered the breakouts. Can you say something more about that?

I read the book of joe ross (the best world trader) named 'day trading' on section forex..is the best book


he use the clusters (formations of 10 bars) and he trade the breakouts....

he teach the risk managment on every trade .....very little risk ...for big profit ....excellent

but I have not time to trade :(

anyone know joe ross??

I see you have 2 trades open for over 1 year now. Why?

gbptrades,

Those trades (and all other open positions on GBP/USD and USD/PLN) are for hedging purposes only. I hedge my deposits and profits in my domestic currency. My account currency is GBP while domestic currency is PLN. As there is no GBP/PLN available at Oanda I use GBP/USD and USD/PLN.

hi,

I'm interested to know the theory of why do you want to hedge?

thanks

Hi Doshur,

I want to hedge, because I want to secure value of my portfolio in domestic currency (which is PLN). If I wasn't hedged and GBP/PLN falls 20% then value of my portfolio in domestic currency (PLN) would have droped 20% too. I don't want that, this is the reason I hedge. If Oanda starts offering PLN accounts I will not have to hedge anymore. Does it answer your question?

regards,
kurak

how much do you need to hedge?

he's not really hedging he's just making sure his balance in PLN doesn't float with GBP/PLN moves
and I'd assume it's only for the real balance of his account .... so this should use max 2:1 of leverage since he has to use two currencies to form GBP/PLN

Thank you Duzyfx. I couldn't have explained it better myself.

what about the swap?

Swap is very small and in my favor.

Result of my hedge is short position in GBP/PLN - that means I have to pay for borrowing GBP and I receive interests for deposit in PLN. GBP interest rate is lower then PLN interest rate, as a result swap is positive to my account.

thanks for the info.
i learn new things today.

Hi Kurak,

Your strategy is interesting and works very well.

I trade the breakout of the London open in a similar fasion to the 'Big Ben Strategy.' I trade only in the direction of the 4 hour market flow (trend) and look for fractal breakouts on a 5 or 15 minute chart. I trade breakouts that occur on strong volume. For a better explanation please visit my blog at www.forexnetworth.blogspot.com.
