WE UTILIZE TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF TRADES
MAIN TRADES
These are where most of our actual trading profits come from. These are usually done on higher Time Frames; may last hours or even our entire trading session; primarily Trend following trades with Take Profits anywhere from 20 pips to 100+ pips.
IB TRADES
These are short, scalping trades and where most of our volume comes from (our Rebates). These are done on the smaller Time Frames (mostly 5 min).
Since the goal is to get just a few pips on each trade we're able to do these just about any time under just about any market condition. And since these are such short trades (sometimes only 1-2 minutes), we're able to pump out a lot of them during each trading session (the more trades we have the more we earn in Rebates).
-
Each trade is a single trade unto itself
-
No Cost Averaging
-
No Grid Strategy
-
No Martingale lot size progression
-
The trade either wins or loses and we move on
​
-
Each trade has a set Take Profit & Stop Loss
-
No more than 2% of Equity risked on any one trade
-
Main Trades: usually no more than 2-3 open at one time
-
IB Trades: up to 3-4 open at once (but kept on a short leash)
-
We use different Trail Stops (mostly Fixed Pips & ATR)
-
As well as a Break Even setting
-
We utilize a Trade Manager EA to help us manage our trades
Just like any profession,
you need to have the right tools for the job.
BUT... if you do not understand things like Market Structure, how to read Price Action or understand the driving force behind certain Price Action at certain times....
​
NO amount of tools will help you.
We do not rely on these tools to be the end-all-be-all decision maker. These tools simply help us see certain things more clearly at times; gives us a clearer picture of what is happening; provides us with bits of information and additional confluences that help confirm decisions.
​
Not all tools work all the time for everything. There are certain tools for certain scenarios; for certain market conditions; for certain pairs at certain times; etc.
Examples of some of the tools we use to help with our trade decisions.
2 NEW, CUSTOM INDICATORS ADDED (Nov, 2023)
20YP VOLUME PRESSURE INDICATOR
Volume is probably one of the most valuable aspects to consider when making trade decisions.
Once we reach a certain level of Pressure on the H1 chart (indicated by up/down arrows and colored candlesticks), we drop down to the 5 Minute Time Frame and place our trades there.
20YP EHLERS INSTANTANEOUS TREND INDICATOR
Developed by John Ehlers, Ph.D. - A dynamic indicator providing a smoother representation of price trends compared to traditional moving averages. Eliminates lag and quickly adjusts to changing market conditions. The EIT achieves this by utilizing advanced mathematical calculations based on the concept of digital signal processing.
​
You can see how well it helps us to quickly identify and follow trend direction.
Sometimes all we need are the basics like Support / Resistance; Trend Lines & Channels with Break outs.
​
We also incorporate Smart Money Concepts.
Indicators that highlight when the market is OverBought/ OverSold
Money Flow Index; Momentum (for reversals); Highs/Lows with Pivot Point Reversals
Indicators that highlight Trend direction and strength across multiple Time Frames at once.
AN EXAMPLE OF PUTTING ONE OF THESE TOOLS TO USE
In the scenario below we are using one of our Trend Indicators that shows us the trend direction and RSI Values across 3 different Time Frames at once.
We are trading GBPJPY on the 5 min Time Frame.
​
1) The Red/Green line at the top shows us the trend on the 15 min Time Frame.
2) The Black/White line at the top shows us the trend on the 3 min Time Frame.
3) The smaller, brighter Red/Green line at the top shows us the trend on the 2 min Time Frame.
4) You will notice that when the 2min line crosses the 3min line (highlighted with yellow circles), GBPJPY's price follows suite.
These are not small movements either. We're looking at movements from 25 pips to 75 pips in this section alone.
