**Steinitz** Method Revealed Here - page 40

 
scottyb159:
I think most of us recognioze we have something good here for entry, but as with all systems, the key is exit, and we need to isolate some better exit rules.

That as well as qualifying the entry and this could be a very good, safe, workable system. In other words make the entry itself seperate from the entry signal. Think about ways to eliminate the bad entries and you will eliminate half the exit problems.

 
DelBoy:
I would suggest looking at the overall trend, the weekly is probably the most important, look at the signal bars in the top left of the attached screen, it shows the trend is down! Trading with the trend increases your probability.

If you do trade against the overall trend I would recomend using a shorter time frame!

Hope this helps!

Hey DelBoy,

I have the GMACD but without the analysis piecee on the end. Could you post this upgraded version, please? Thanks in advance.

This is the latest version I have, there is a setting for turning on and off the analysis!

Post 516

Hi tracej

I agree with your post #516 & I take it a good advise in a very constructive

manner. The same thing has happened to me when I first started trading

FX. Now I follow only 4 pairs & on rare occassions one extra pair, but I never

have more than two trades going @ a time since I don't use set stops only

mental unless I need to be away from the screen more than a few minutes.

For me using HAS in its original form works the best. That is not to say the

new version is not working. Short term trend trades are what I seek & I never hold a winner until it become a loser. Longer term for me is 48 hrs &

beyond.

In 2005 & 2006 I was into longer term position trading & you will see some

really heavy draw downs that can really stress you out. During those yrs

my returns were very good, but near the end of 2006 flows in the market

seems to change & position trading became harder for me, so I changed

my style.

For the HAS METHOD there is not much I see that can be added

that could make them better unless the EA works. The more you add the

more complicated things become & I think STEINITZ intended this to be a

simple clean chart method that is easy to understand & trade.

Tks for your valued input & views.

Finally finished reading this thread, thanks Steinitz for sharing this interesting method. But "scalping" without stoploss still sounds pretty dangerous to me. I have coded systems that works 95 percent of the time if using no stoploss, but the few times the trades went wrong would whip out the account.

If we enter on 4H and the trade went against us, when should we exit? Is it when daily trend turned against us or monthly? Or just wait until the trade become profitable? I guess it's about what the worst senario is and how often it happens.

Mm

For exits traders of this system should be looking at money management rather than exits per se. I divide my trades into thirds, taking out profits as the trade developes. So, take a third out which will cover the spread and a bit more. The next I target a sup/res level and the rest I trail. Make sure you get paid for trading.
