No.


Elliot and Neo waves are very subjective so I can't understand how they could possibly be coded without the program asking you to interpret some of the fuzzy waves.

It is so easy that I am tempted to drink twice as much beer...

Risk 1% of high water mark ( if you have less than $1,000 then $1,000 is your high water mark).

20 pips = 1%

Wait for a daily or greater new high/low

When price retraces 5 or more pips click the button with a 20 pip SL.

If it is just single day new highs N' lows then I'd target 3-5%

If it is multi day new highs N' lows then I'd target 5%+

Weekly new highs N' lows I'd target 12-20%

Monthly new highs N' lows I'd target ~30-40%

Yearly new highs N' lows I'd target ~75-130%

There is only 1 highest and 1 lowest price with a bunch of gyrations in between no matter which time frame candle you are looking at.
As TRO says, price eventually exhausts its self and moves in your direction.
The duration that you hold for is based on the time period you feel like trading.
Eventually you will more than make up your losses if you TRY to hold for 80 pips or more.

MO,
Sorry to ask such a stupid question but how do you know when price has hit a new daily high/low? It is easy to see in historical data but not easy to determine real time. If price starts going down starting a midnight and keeps going, technically every new candle is a new daily low.

Please dont be offended. You are the teacher and I am the pupil. I am simply trying to learn.

"...how do you know when price has hit a new daily high/low? It is easy to see in historical data but not easy to determine real time. If price starts going down starting a midnight and keeps going, technically every new candle is a new daily low."

TRO2009_MPMM_PIPCHANGE_HL

If you missed the yearly highest then you would favor monthly highs over monthly lows.
If you missed the monthly highest then you would favor daily highs over daily lows.
If you missed the daily highest then you would favor 4hr highs over 4hr lows.

If you believe that the lows have reached a technically significant level then you could reverse this bias.

That said...

I pretty much just look at the Daily, Weekly, Monthly, & Yearly chart and say to myself:

1. This is my plan for accomplishing my short term goals
2. This is my plan for accomplishing any longer term goals
3. These are areas that I want to watch and see how price reacts because I may be interested in taking this chart back in the opposite direction.

It is just a lot of guessing mixed with a lot of doing...

I created a compass to show where price is (in pips above/below) in relation to the highs/lows.

More risk is just more risk as more profit is more profit.

The question is weather or not you can increase your profit as easily as you increase your level of risk.

If you lost 2 trades would you question your 3rd trade and if you lost your 3rd trade would you question your 4th having lost 15% of your account in one day?

If 15% of your account is $150,000 you might be sweating bullets because not too many jobs out there pay over $1,000,000 a year.

As much as I believe that I can get away with 8% per trade I still risk 1%.

Poker is a game of great skill, but it is also a game of bad beats.
A poker professional will not risk a large portion of his stack on any one hand believing that his skill is more valuable than the decision of a single hand.

Poker and trading have a lot in common...
