1.0 Prelude:
After the studying of charts for some time, and tried a few methods
for trading strategy, finally figure out something that really in sync
with me besides Daily breakout trendfollowing strategy.
This strategy a combination of understanding gathered from the
past trading methodology and theory. Combination of trend
following, reversal understanding, bounce concept, zones concept,
confluence, market structure, wave theory, breakout/breakin,
roadmap and momentum. The idea is that a successful swing of
Daily able to generate a nice profit and risk reward as well.
Ofcourse I do not blindly trade it when price arrived the edge area of
Daily. Conditions and rules are further applied in order to get a nice
trade. However, loss is unavoidable as market keep changing,
market will provide the chance, I just need to be patience and wait
for it
2.0 Trading Instruments & Tasks:
Instruments traded will be mainly XAUUSD, XAGUSD, EURGBP,
GBPAUD, GBPUSD, GBPJPY, USDCAD, AUDUSD, EURUSD & EURAUD.
(USD Index and USDJPY will be a guide for Usd related pairs, not be
traded)
These pairs are the pool, not all be traded each week, all pairs will
be analysed on weekend for choosing the potential ones for the
following week. Daily Task is to monitor the pairs and journalise
them if theres entry. The pairs will be reviewed on weekend for
noting down important feedback.
3.0 Theory behind this Trading Setup:
3.1 Timeframe & Setup:
Timeframe traded will be mainly including Daily, H4 and H1. Daily
Bounce, H4 structure and trend, H1 breakout/breakin and
momentum.
(Weekly for long term big picture and identifying critical zones for
analysing Daily position in Weekly trend, while M15 for Surgery
entry and cut loss, but not needed in most of the time).
Daily
Backbone of the trade mainly derived from Daily (the edge of Daily),
Im trading the Bounce of Daily, when price arrived the area of
confluence, we will down TF-H4 to look for market structure and
breakin if it appear.
H4
This TF will be the structure TF, look for breakin and retest area,
trendlines & SR as market structure
H1
This TF will be the entry TF (direct break and momentum after
exhaustion will be the trigger signal) Calculate Risk and Reward, if
pass all good to go).
4.0 Entry
Entry will be based on H1 (as picture above), or M15 for surgery
entry (containment break and restest- if missed signal generate by
H1)
5.0 Reentry
1. If the trade has hit SL, I will wait for the same situation to
appear for reentry,
2. If exit manually, again, wait for a similar situation to appear
for reentry
3. If missed, will down to M15 to check whether theres
chances for reentry, provided if risk & reward allows)
4. If price hit SL and go against the initial traded direction, I
will wait and see whether theres chances for my breakout
trendfollowing setup to enter.
