I am a technical trader. The system is semi-automated. I use only simple indicators and simple cal-culations to enter a trade. I use a commercially available platform different from MT4 to study the market, and I use MT4 only to enter and manage the trades. I use Japanese candlestick charts with: a Cycle indicator, Exponential Moving Avarages, Avarage True Range (ATR), Supports and Resistances, Trend Lines, Fibonacci series, and sometimes a Slow Stochastic. I do follow the cycles of the price and I care about two consecutive Maxima or Minima as the Daw Theory. I use only H4, D1, W1 and M1 Time Frames, and I alway enter the market in trend with the superior time frame (i.e for H4 the refe-rence TF is D1).
I enter a trade taking into consideration the ATR in that moment and I put an opposite hedged order in-stead of a SL. If the trade goes in the right direction, I than set the SL at the start price and I cancel the hedged order. If the trade is not convincing I can close the order with a small profit or loss and cancel the hedged order. If the market goes exactly the opposite direction, the hedged order starts and I follow the market on the opposite way. I put about 4-6 consecutive orders, with a serial increase of the 20% in lots, and when the superior TF turns back I close the opposite trade and set again serial orders. This time in the same direction of the original trade. I wait for the market to turn back and I close all trades when they all together give me a profit, without modifying my Balance.
My DrawDown is never more that 20%, I am trying to have a lower DD. When I have a hedged order I do not open other trades, unless with a classical SL. My risk for each trade is set to 1% of the equity. I do not start any trade in proximity of or during news. In D1 I rarely use hedging, in W1 I never use hedging but a classical SL.
