Important Message
Firstly, thank you for purchasing my Any-Time trading system, designed to

trade virtually any market while spotting opportunities to get in very close to
the changing of a trend.
My original Any-Time system that was released three years ago in 2009
had been traded by myself for nearly ten years previously. After my trendFX
collection of strategies came onto the market in 2011 the Any-Time system
took a bit of a back seat as the newer system became a very big seller. I had
a growing interest in price action trading and it is now time to add some
recent developments of mine to this system to make it more reliable when
spotting chances to enter the market after a trend-change.
As well as the standard system set-up (similiar to the original Any-Time
strategy) there are SIX additional patterns to look out for at trend change
time, plus an additional strategy you can use independently in your every
day trading if you wish it gives you some extra pips after youve spotted
the trend change and youre already in the market.
So all in all, there are EIGHT different patterns to trade so there should
always be something to spot when youre watching your charts.
As I will show you later on, I have my favourites instruments/indexes that I
have enjoyed trading over the past 20 years of trading (it is now 2012) and I
would recommend you try these as well. Once you feel that you have the
strategy nailed, you can then experiment with any you feel demand your
attention. You can use historic charts to test your choices before you embark
on demo trading.
There is NO padding or superfluous content in this trading system manual,
EVERY SINGLE WORD is there for a reason as they are important. Please do
not skip over any sentences, paragraphs or chapters as you need to read
everything (in order) contained in this eBook so that you can learn my system
completely without having to constantly refer back to this manual over the
next few weeks.
In the past, I have found that when customers first download a new trading
system manual (like the one you have here) they will first go straight to the
index, and then chose the most interesting chapters according to their own
criteria usually the one with the strategy explanation and read this book
in rather a haphazard fashion. Sorry but this is not the way to get the most
out of this manual. I would encourage you to read this eBook from this
point, page by page right through the end, doing the exercises as I have laid
them out. This way you will not miss out any part of important information,
and youll learn the strategy exactly as I designed it.
It is also said that any system is 20% strategy and 80% in your mind. This
means that even though you may learn the actual strategy very well and
know every part of it, you can still fail due to the tricks your mind will play
on you as you learn to trade. Chapter 6 will provide you with a solution to
this problem as well as some additional reading I can provide for you just
email me for some excellent trading psychology books.
3.
Introduction
My system, in a nutshell, will enable you to earn small, regular amounts of

money from virtually any market you can bring a chart up for, although I will
give you a few recommendations later on, in a subsequent chapter.
I would suggest that your target, for the first 3 months or so, will be just 20
pips (points) per session, although some learners have started with a slightly
smaller daily target and I will expand on this theory a bit further on. Having a
small, achievable target will enable you to learn this strategy without the
stress of large monetary targets and so you should not be troubled with the
new traders two worst enemies fear and greed (more of these troublesome
pair later)
Due to these potential problems, it is also wise to trade the strategy using a
demo-trading account. These types of accounts enable you to trade with
pretend money in your demo-account. There is no stress when you place a
trade, and will show you how you should be trading with real-money, that is
without emotion. Over the past 4 years I have taught thousands of
customers how trade like a professional, and around 99% of people who
ignore this advice fail in their quest to earn money from the markets. It is
absolutely imperative to trade this strategy with a demo-account initially,
even if you have been trading successfully for over 5 years. If you are a
seasoned trader, your demo trading period can be greatly reduced, but you
still need to use the demo platform for a few weeks.
Trading the markets should be treated just like starting any other small
business you are going to be your own boss and so are completely
responsible for ALL your actions and decisions. Starting in business is not
easy (otherwise everyone would be doing it) but you have a head-start over
most people as the basics of your new home-based business (trading) have
all been worked out for your already be me, so in effect you are buying a
franchise, as you have a proven business model to follow. I know it works as
I have trodden exactly the same path as you are about to embark upon.
There is one difference though I had NO guidance whatsoever, so it took
me a bit longer than it should have but I did learn some very important
lessons along the way, which I can pass onto you. As mentioned before, you
are being given a complete blueprint of your new home-based business, so
youre really buying a franchise, but without the extremely large investment
normally required my local McDonalds cost the operator 1.5m to set-up
in 1998, and this is for just ONE site. And he still pays a franchise fee EVERY
month on his turnover, but with this opportunity all your profits are yours to
keep and the money you have paid already is all you are committed to
paying even though I will give you unlimited email help for as long as you
need it. Additionally, you have no worries about renting expensive premises
(factory/offices), no business rates, no staff hassles, no tax or VAT
commitments (in the UK), what you earn is all yours to keep, so follow the
simple steps in this manual and ensure you get out of the markets what you
are owed. And what you are owed by the markets is entirely dependent on
how well you trade those markets, so please read and absorb every word in
the manual.
In return for these fantastic rewards you have to commit to a learning
programme that I know works. I would recommend you spend at least 3 hrs
per day reading the manual and completing all the tasks page by page. This
can be done before/after your day job, or if you are lucky enough to have
flexible working hours, try to concentrate all your learning/reading in one
session of 3 hrs instead of splitting your session up into 2 or 3 shorter
sessions.
At the weekend, try to fit in another 3 or 4 hrs of study as well as studying
charts for patterns and behaviours from your favourite indexes. If you have
no favourites yet, please let me know and I will steer you in the right
direction.
You need somewhere to work that is free from distractions, and encourages
you to work and study quietly. I find I work best with no background noise,
although I will watch Bloomberg financial news for short bursts during the
day, just to keep my eye on any important news. Try to find somewhere in
your house thats free from family noise, TV and radio broadcasts and also
somewhere your family know that you go to work on your own. Your trading
education is going to lead to a great life in the future, so get the basics right
at the beginning and youll reap the rewards very soon.
The skill level you need to reach is where you can sit down at a screen and
within a few minutes, boot up your computer, load the (free) trading
platform and trade for an hour or so to reach your daily target. Obviously
you may not always reach your target in this small time, but with a positive
expectation, youll be surprised just how often it does happen like this.
4.
Goals/ The Next 6 Months
This now brings me onto a very important subject Goals. We all have them
and they have played an important part in your life so far even if you did not
realise it.
Think back to when you were at school you may have had an ambition to
be (say) a pilot, so you would have found out what exams you need to pass,
and where to go to receive training after you left school. The information
that you gathered were steps in the goal to be a pilot. I have used the story
of wanting to be a pilot as I personally know two people who had this goal
while at school.
One of the people took all the steps to get through to the RAF induction
course, he passed all the relevant exams, and was probably over qualified to
become a pilot in the RAF, his ultimate ambition was to become a harrier
pilot and that was his total focus for over ten years leading up to this point,
when he was 17yrs old.
He failed one part of the RAF selection process and was offered the post of
trainee helicopter pilot, but as he was dead set on flying harriers, he turned
down the opportunity and today works in a shop, with all the drive knocked
out of him. This should be a lesson to you all, if at first you do not succeed,
examine what happened, correct it and then keep going for your goal.
Examine all alternatives and be realistic, as 2nd choice maybe better than
your original goal they are phasing out harriers remember ?
My other friend did not have the skills to be an RAF pilot so instead became
a aircraft mechanic for 10 years as it kept in close to the planes he loved.
When he left the forces he became a policeman but never lost sight of his
goal to fly planes. In 1980 got his private pilots licence after saving a huge
amount of money over a five year period. Today, I share the ownership of a
small Piper Archer light aircraft with him and as he has retired from the
police force, flies at least 3 times a week. He never lost sight of his goal and
went through some pretty tough financial difficulties to stay on track and see
his goal through to the end.
You need to have the same ambition with whatever goal you have chosen as
your main life focus. If this goal of yours is Financial Trading, please
examine yourself thoroughly do you really want be a trader or is just a way
for you to earn life changing amounts of money ? If the latter is true, you
may not have the staying power to see it through to the end.
If you truly want to be a trader for better reasons, and really enjoy trading
the markets pitting your wits against the greatest trading minds the world
has to offer, then there is a great deal of work in front of you.
You need to look forward six months and also one, two and five years. It is
well known in the field of goal setting that you should begin your goalsetting process with your 5yr goal. One you have settled on how thats going
to look like, you can then work backwards, towards a picture of what your
life is going to look like in two years time. Then come back in time to closer
to today and work out how your life is going to look like in one year and six
months time.
I have a copy of Brian Tracys excellent book on the subject of Goals and if
you do not yet have a copy, please email me and I will send one over to you.
In the book you will go through your long and short term goals, and I would
encourage you complete this part of the book so you can see a clear path to
your ultimate goal to be a full time professional financial trader.
Part of the goal-setting process is to go through your daily tasks which is
all the learning and reading of this manual together with practising to trade
the markets with this strategy.
So lets get going with the trading system.
5.
Opening a Trading Account
If you already trade, there is no need to read through this chapter, but if you
are new to the trading world, you will need a trading account to be able to
trade this system in the market.
If you reside in the UK I will list a few companies in a moment. If you are
living in any other country please email me with full details and I will suggest
some trading companies you can open an account with.
In the UK I would suggest you use GKFX, Capital Spreads or IG Index. These
companys trading platforms are all reliable and I have used all of them at
some stage in the last five years.
You can visit the websites of these companies using the links below:
GKFX Click Here
Capital Spreads Click Here

IG Index
Click Here
You can also use these companies if you reside in the UK

Alpari
CMC Markets
Finspreads
City Index
To begin with you will just need a demo account/trading platform and I have
personally tested the one from GKFX and found it to be completely reliable.
The company use an MT4 platform, but you do not need anything as
complicated as this if you are going for a company you have chosen yourself.
The indicators I use in all of my systems are very simple, so all you need is a
very basic platform, but the MT4 one is very easy to navigate to I do
recommend you start with this one.
As times goes on you will obviously need a real trading account, and if you
have not opened one yet please email me and I will give you further
information to ensure you are not turned down at your first attempt. The FSA
in London have clamped down quite heavily on people opening spreadbetting accounts, but I can show you a way to apply for one without being
turned down.
10
6.
Trading Platforms
As mentioned in the previous chapter (above) you do not need an over

complicated trading platform to be able to trade this trading system or any
of my other strategies.
The indicators I use are a few of the popular ones (with unusual settings) so
platforms from Capital Spreads and IG Index are good enough, although I
prefer the MT4 platform as it is so user friendly.
This is what the two different types of popular platforms look like first and
MT4 one then a basic one from IG Index.
Please increase the magnification on all illustrations to around 125-150% - this is done at the top of
this page.
This is an MT4 platform from Metatrader. GKFX and Alpari use this platform.
Although it has many complicated functions, you can also use it as a basic
resource for your trading.
11
The chart below is an example from IG Index.
As I have mentioned previously, the settings you need for your Any-Time
chart are very basic, but you still need to know how your chosen platform
works. To do this I recommend you spend a couple of hours going through
all the functions, and if you do come against a problem, please refer to the
help section that all platforms have this is a lot quicker than emailing the
trading company you are using, and stops you wasting time waiting for an
answer for something you can probably work out yourself with a bit of
application and hard work.
Getting to know your chosen platform now, will give you an advantage later
on as youll be completely conversant with all its functions, and you will not
waste time in the future looking for answers. You would not do a day-job
without learning all about the tools you will be using, so why should trading
12
be any different ? This is the machine youre using for this job, one which
can become your full-time career (if you really want it to)
So now you need to spend a few hours learning all about your chosen
platform as soon as you have downloaded it or if you are using IG or
Capital Spreads type charts, you will just access the charts from your trading
account on their websites after logging on. You can access these charts by
opening a demo account with your chosen trading company which Ill cover
in the next chapter. Remember this is your job now, so make sure youre an
expert with the trading platform.
7.
Your Next Step Demo Account
I have talked a lot about demo/practice accounts, and if you already own one
of my other systems youll know why Im so keen on them.
To enable you to be in the correct mindset, and not fall foul of the two
enemies of all new traders, you need to start trading this system with a
demo account.
I will give you a quick scenario to illustrate why I believe you need to trade
without emotion.
You have back tested your system, you know its good and you are going to
trade it for the first time with real money. Everythings set and you see your
first signal, so you place your trade. It get stopped out, but thats ok, all
trading systems having losing trades. You get back to your charts and watch
for more trades abiding by your strict rules.
An hour later you see another trade set-up, its exactly what you need to
enter a trade, so you once again place your trade. This time it goes in your
direction for 10 pips, youre overjoyed at last you are going to be a winner.
13
Then the market reverses and very quickly your 2nd trade gets stopped out.
Whats happening this is very unlucky you think. Still never mind, youre
going to call it a day for this trading session and examine the trades youve
taken, just like all the trading books youve read have told you. You never
worry about a run of winning trades, so why worry about two losing trades.
So the next day, youre all ready for the upcoming trading session. Ten
minutes in and you see a trade set-up and it triggers a trade. Youre in once
again and the trade looks like its going to do well. Fifteen minutes and
youve almost hit your target great, your first winner this week but then
the market spikes and the price hits your stop loss ! What on earth is wrong
with this trading system ? You cannot believe whats happened to your
trading system. The market is going against you all the time you think.
The only thing to do, you believe, is to paper trade the next set-up you see.
That way youll not lose any more money. A trade comes up and you enter it
in your head, watching carefully and noting down on paper the entry level
plus stop loss and target price. Guess what after 20 minutes this trade his
your target of 30 pips profit. You cannot believe what youve done. You were
too involved emotionally in your trading and you panicked, ans were too
scared to risk any more of your money in the trading account. You were not
ready to traded with real money.
This is why I recommend you trade with a demo account is to combat the
potential problems similiar to the story above. The story is told to me many
times every month by people who have bought different trading systems
over the past few years, and even if the actual systems were reasonably
profitable, they still came out losers, wasting their trading accounts over and
over again.
To combat these psychological problems, I recommend you demo/paper
trade this system for at least 70 trades. This means that if you trade for 5
14
days per week with an average of 2 trades per session, you will complete the
requisite amount of trades in under three months.
Once you have completed the demo trading part, you should be trading the
system with confidence, entering trades exactly as laid out in this manual
and more importantly, not having any emotion when entering or exiting your
trades. Working your trading platform should fill you with the same emotion
as you have when you go through the stages of making a cup of coffee. Do
you get butterflies just before switching on the kettle, wondering what the
outcome is going to be ? Do you worry if you spill the coffee after making it ?
No, of course you do not, you simply make it again.
When you get to this stage of emotion, youre ready for real trading. If it
happens after 50 trades thats ok some people achieve this level quicker
than others. Conversely, if it takes you 100 trades to reach the required
level, do not worry, it will take as long as it takes, and the most important
thing to remember is you cannot move on until you have this part of your
training sorted. Theres NO rush just take your time and get it completely
right. I am here to advise you if youre not sure, just email me.
8.
Configuring Your Charts
As I mentioned earlier in this eBook, the charts you will be using are very
simple, and all youll need is some Moving Averages, a MACD and an RSi
indicator.
If your familiar with my other systems or you trade already you can skip
this chapter and just configure your charts using the following data:
Moving Averages:20 EMA 50 EMA
RSi: 9 period
MACD: 5 19 1
15
If youve had a good look at your chosen trading platform you could
probably have a go at configuring your own chart.
If you have taken my advice regarding the MT4 platform, you can add the
MACD and RSi to the chart like this:
To add the moving averages as well (see chart below)
16
REMEMBER TO INCREASE THE MAGNIFICATION TO 125-150%
Your chart should look like this:
17
If your chart does not look like this, please go back and check all your
settings.
9.
Trends and Reversals
As you know, this system will help you spot trade opportunities for taking
advantage of trend reversals, and the following illustrations will show you
firstly how to spot a trend.
The picture below shows an up-trend (also called Long or a Bull-Trend)
then a down-trend (Short or Bear-Trend) with a period of volatility inbetween.
To practice spotting these trend, I would suggest you go through some

random charts on your trading platform I am using the S&P500 index in
this example as it does trend a great deal of the time, and is one of my
favourite instruments many customers will know I have based an entire
trading strategy on this one instrument. It respects support and resistance
levels and does not display a great deal of volatility.
18
Once you have the general idea regarding trends, you can start to learn what
a trend change looks like. Usually in a trend you will get a succession of
higher highs (HH) in an up-trend and a lower lows (LL) when the trend is
downwards. When these HHs and LLs stop appearing, you may have a
change of trend or a period of consolidation.
The next chart (below) shows you one of the points to watch for once a trend
has been going for a while.
In the chart above there is a down-tend, and it is still ok at point A. At point

B the price reverses instead of carrying on down, so it is the first alert that
the trend may be getting weaker. Once price goes above point C, you can be
fairly certain that the trend has now changed to a bull-trend, although
nothing is ever certain in the trading world.
The price then continues up with consecutive HHs all the way up to the final
HH I have marked. Once the price drops below point D, we can presume that
19
the trend has changed again. Both times that the trend changes on this chart
there is an Any-Time pattern present, and in subsequent chapters I will
show you how to spot these patterns every time plus the six other ones that
are included in this trading system.
Open any chart and you are bound to spot a few general trend changes. The
chart below was one I just chose from my own MT4 screen and on it you can
see 5 reversals and I have marked 4 of them on the chart.
To spot a trend change is fairly easy, but there are some things that have to
present to begin with, and one of those is a certain candle-pattern.
On the chart below, only two of the marked reversals have this pattern can
see what I am referring to ?
Dont forget to increase the size/magnification of this document so you can

see these charts clearly.
20
Well, the second and fourth reversals have the correct candle-pattern as you
may have guessed. You NEED to have a candle-pattern that has a longshadow/wick as this shows that the participants in the market have changed
bias for example where the sellers become weaker as more buyers come
into the market (in an established down-trend), or vice-versa in an up-trend.
I will cover actual candle-patterns I personally use in more detail further on
in this document.
Below is a document I prepared many years ago to help existing customers
with regard to spotting trends nd I think it would help you too in your
understanding of trends. Here is the document:
10.
Timeframes
If you are a seasoned trader, or you already trade my trendFX system, you
will probably have your own favourite timeframe(s) to trade with. For your
info, I would not recommend you go any lower than 15 minutes in your
choice of timeframe, but you can go as high as daily/weekly charts.
21
Trading on 3 and 5 minute charts can involve you a lot of noise which can
end up with you being stopped out too frequently.
I personally like 15m/30m charts with this series of strategies as it suits my
way of trading, I enjoy trading in the short term, so my trades typically last
for between 1hr to 3hrs and I do not like to have positions running
overnight.
One useful reason for using an MT4 platform is that it enables the user to
swap charts very quickly once theyve been set-up. If there is not much
happening with my normal 15m/30m charts I can very quickly look at a one
or four chart within seconds. This gives me the chance to spot possible
trades that I would no tbe able to do with a normal trading platform such
as IG Indexs.
You can also set-up your required instruments/indexes beforehand, so they
are ready for your forthcoming trading session. You only have to this
setting-up once and they are all there every time you fire-up MT4. As I
mentioned earlier, it si a good trading platform to use, and you can access it
from either GKFX or Alpari (website addresses in Chapter 5).
11.
Candlestick Patterns
Part of my AnyTime strategy uses Japanese Candlestick Patterns but I use a

modification of these candlestick rules to help with profitability. This means I
do not use all the patterns that Steve Nison has made famous, these ones
here below:
22
23
If you magnify this document and still cannot see each candlestick pattern in the
above picture, please email me and I will send you a better copy
The difference that I have in the Any-Time strategy is that while I will possibly use
most of the patterns above, if they are going to be useful to me when trading this
strategy, ALL candle patterns MUST HAVE a long shadow/wick attached to it.
The following collection of candle patterns are the ones you will use most of the
time, and they are in the chart below:
I have labelled each pattern, and they are the ones I use most of the time
when trading the Any-Time strategies.
A = Spinning Top
B & E = Inside Day
C = Hammer/Hanging Man
D = Doji
If you see (say) a Thrusting or Piercing Line pattern, it can be a valid pattern
for this strategy but it MUST have a long wick/shadow attached as well. This
rule has been seen to work over the last twenty years of my trading with
candlestick charts.
Here are some more patterns the collection of Long-Shadows are fairly
familiar to most new traders, but I also have illustrated a few more rare
patterns. This is the first time I have mentioned them in one of my system
manuals.
24
As you can notice, these newer patterns are Inside & Outside Days together
with their cousins, the double variation of each one.
As before, you can only use these patterns on your chart if they have a
long-shadow attached.
Well thats the first part of the basic Any-Time strategy. Next we come to
the other important ingredient, and then well get onto individual reversal
patterns.
12.
Divergence
The other main part to the strategy is oscillator divergence. Traditionally I

have used a MACD for spotting divergence over the last 13 years, and this
indicator will still stay in use, and it is now joined by the RSi (Relative
Strength Index) and gives us some idea of how over sold or over bought a
particular instrument is.
I will be using the RSi for these levels as well as oscillator divergence. As we
are looking for trend reversal, we will need to be able to spot Regular
divergence.
25
Quite simply, it can be illustrated in the following way: I have illustrated

earlier that a trend consists of higher highs (HHs) and lower lows (LLs) in
price movement and so long as this keep happening there is a trend in place.
Well, divergence will give you a clue when the trend is coming to end, and
when the price is still producing HHs and LLs you can see the oscillator
making a lower high (LH) or a higher low (HL). In this system of mine we are
going to use the MACD and RSi.
Please read that last sentence as it is the basics of regular divergence, so you
can see the theory is quite simple even though a few people seem to have
trouble putting this theory into practice.
To illustrate regular divergence graphically, you can see below the two types
of divergence, the first in an up-trend, then in a down-trend.
26
Here is a chart showing the same divergence. It is the S&P500 which is a

good instrument to start your trading with.
Price (at the top of the chart) has made another Higher High but the
oscillator below has not followed it and has now made a lower high,
indicating to you that price momentum is not as strong as it should be and
there may be a fall in price soon. In this case, price does break down after
the long shadow candle pattern at the top of the end of my divergence line.
Entry for trade would be ONE PIP below the low of that candle, with stop loss
set ONE PIP above the high of that long shadow candle. These entry and stop
loss are used universally across this system, and is also drawn in on my
candlestick Patterns document on page 19
The other type of regular divergence is when price is in an established
down-trend, but the strength of the price move shows to be slowing down
you can see this when the price still keeps moving down as though it is still
in the trend making further lower lows (LL) but the oscillator changes
direction and makes a new higher low (HL).
Here it is in an easy to understand illustration:
27
And now you can see the same divergence in an actual chart on the next
page its the S&P500 again.
28
The price has moved down steadily over the past evenings trading session,
and after the oscillator divergence stops coming down and shows a higher
low, you can see how the price follows the early direction change of the
MACD (oscillator) line.
You can see in both examples, the point where price changes direction has a
long-shadow candle of some sort to give added weight to the direction
change.
The illustrations so far on divergence have been using a MACD, and I have
also included the RSi indicator to assist with divergence as well.
The RSi has an added advantage over the MACD as it will show you
overbought (OB) and Oversold (OS) levels with regard to the price as well as
indicating possible divergence. This means that you can see when there may
be a price reversal in a trend by watching the RSi and noting any reading
above 70 (overbought) or under 30 (oversold)
Most charting packages will automatically show these OB & OS levels on the
RSi and usually they are set at 30 and 70, but if there are no such levels to
29
be seen when you open up the RSi on your chart, you can manually place
them on and then save them.
To give you one more filter for potential trade set-ups, the divergence line
that you draw on the RSi must be over (under) the OB (OS) line at the
beginning of the divergence line, and below (above) the OB (OS) line at the
end of the divergence line.
To enable you to understand this concept easier, its better to see it on a
chart, and as usual please increase the magnification at the top of this page
so you can see all important details.
This is clearly showing the price in a down-trend, so for an up-trend the

process with the RSi is opposite ie: the RSi line needs to be over 70 (OB) at
the beginning of the divergence line.
At the start of the divergence line in the chart above it is under the OS line
(30) on the RSi but at the end it is on the 30 line, which is signifying a good
30
signal as we could see a rise in the RSi which means the price should go the
same way.
We also have divergence with the MACD so thats another reason to get into
a trade.
As you should now have your charts all configured with my settings, you
must now spend an hour or so looking through some charts to see how
quickly you can spot either MACD or RSi divergence with the price (candles)
It may sound unbelievable now, but in a few short weeks you will be spotting
this type of divergence on any chart almost as soon as you open up the
chart. To get to this point in your education means you need to spend a few
hours every day looking through your charts. Do not skip through this part
of the learning process, it is very important and also a large part of the
overall strategy.
Now that I have explained the candle patterns together with the theory of
regular divergence, youre ready to put them together and learn about the
main strategy of this trading system.
13.
Any-Time Basic Strategy
The basic strategy is quite easy to put together, as firstly you should have
learned which candle patterns you are looking for, and when you spot this
together with regular divergence, you have the start of the trade.
You will notice that you also have two moving averages on your chart as well,
and these are here for two reasons.
Firstly, you use them to spot whether the price is in a trend or not. In the
chart below, we have the moving averages all over the place, constantly
crossing one another. There is no trend in place and you should stay out of
31
this market and perhaps look at other instruments for alternative trade
opportunities.
The chart below is a good example of an established trend, the moving

averages are travelling along in the same direction without constantly
crossing over each other.
You will also notice that in an established trend, the moving averages get
into an order whereby the 20 EMA will be above the 50 EMA in an up-trend
and will be below the 50 EMA in a down-trend.
32
Here is the chart with a good trend, and the job of this strategy is to point
out trades to you that will have a good chance of profitability while
showing you where to enter as the trend is changing.
Obviously not all trades are going to work out as we wish, and that is the
other reason I have the moving averages on the chart.
So when you are watching your chart for possible trades, keep an eye on the
two moving averages to make sure they are in a steady incline or decline
(depending on what the trend is at the time).
You can also use the 20 EMA as a price target for any trades, as we know
that not all trades you take will succeed in showing you a complete change
of trend direction.
As you can observe by looking at a wide variety of your own charts with
these settings on them, the price in a trend will keep returning back to the
20 EMA. This is an established fact, and that is why we can use it to help in
33
this strategy. We can take advantage of these small retraces that occur in
most trends by choosing out trades carefully, and when all the criteria are
met, we can enter a trade using the 20 EMA as our target.
I have marked out a few divergences (marked 1, 2 & 3) in the chart below,
and you can see that the price has retraced back to the 20 EMA before
resuming the original trend, until divergence 3 where the trend eventually
broke down and started developing a down-trend.
For the oscillator divergence, you can use either the MACD or the RSi,
although there are a few extra rules to observe when using the RSi, so for
the moment I just used the MACD.
Here is the chart please observe it carefully how the price often returns
back to the 20 EMA and to a lesser degree, it also occasionally returns to the
higher MA
This is the basics of the Any-Time system, you need a valid candle pattern
as shown in chapter 11 together with some oscillator divergence, and a
34
precise target for each trade. My original Any-Time system had just this as
its main strategy but with this update (I am writing this in 2012) I am going
to add some more patterns for you to use which will make this complete
system a lot more reliable and so give you a high percentage of winning
trades.
After you have traded the system for a few months, you will also develop a
sixth-sense with your favourite instruments meaning you will be able to
guess what the price may do next. This phenomenon is hard to explain, but
you will know when you have reached this level of trading and to help it
along I would encourage you to always trade while trying to be In The Zone
and what I mean by that is sitting at your computer with NO distractions
(even no TV or radio on) with all your focus on the chart in front of you.
When you reach the required level of concentration, you will not notice
outside noise, you will be completely immersed in the movements of the
markets.
It will take a few weeks to get to this level, but it is well worth the work to
achieve this.
I have now two screenshots to show what a typical Any-Time trade looks
like. First there is a reversal trade when price is in a down-trend.
35
PLEASE INCREASE THE MAGNIFICATION
Below is a chart showing a reversal in price when the trend has been a bulltrend (upwards).
36
As in the previous chart, we have all the components present for a trade
signal. There are candle patterns with long-shadows (1) with divergence
lines on the RSi and MACD (2) (4) and the RSi conforms to the OB and OS
rules I have laid out above. Please use your own charts now to look through
and find other examples of the strategy.
14.
Targets & Stop Losses
As I have mentioned briefly before, the target for each trade is the 20 EMA
and the chart below shows three trade set-ups using just the MACD for
divergence.
The candles marked A and B are valid patterns and there is also divergence
present. As the target for these possible trades is the 20 EMA you need to
ensure there is enough space between the entry price for the trade and the
20 EMA line, otherwise the risk/reward for the trade is not worth
contemplating.
37
For example, if the stop-loss is 20 pips and the distance to the target is 12
pips, it is really not worth taking on the trade, but conversely if the stop-loss
is just 10 pips and the distance to the 20 EMA is 22 pips, we have a good
risk/reward and so the trade is worth taking if all other things are in place.
You can see that the candle pattern marked C on the chart above is right on
the 20 EMA line, so at first glance you would say that this trade is not worth
taking and you would be partially correct.
The position of the candle pattern C also signifies that the trend may be
breaking down as price has already on the 20 EMA and later on in this
manual I will show you ways of taking advantage of this situation.
To reiterate the stop-loss rules, they are dependent on the candle pattern
that you are using for the particular trade in question, and to illustrate the
general rule, please see the picture below.
This illustration also shows how to work out the entry level for your trade
with each kind of candle patterns.
I have just included a few well-known patterns but with this theory, you can
work out any stop-loss or entry level now.
38
PLEASE INCREASE MAGNIFICATION TO ENABLE YOU TO SEE ALL DETAILS ON THIS ILLUSTRATION ABOVE
15.
Reversal Patterns
To help with the profitability of this entire strategy, I am now going to

introduce to you a final part of the system.
This involves reversal patterns. To recap, so far in this manual I have shown
the basics of the strategy, the candle patterns that you need to see on your
chart, and then you need to have divergence present as well.
Now I am adding reversal patterns, so you have an extra ingredient to help
raise the win/loss ratio in your favour.
There are 6 main patterns to use and they are outlined below. There is also
an extra strategy that will help with extra pips/points once you are in a
trade, or you can use it as an entirely separate strategy if you wish it works
on any instrument you want to use. Anyway here are the 6 main patterns:
39
Some of these patterns will be familiar to you, but I will show you how to
increase their profitability by using a combination of resources to give you a
win/loss ratio better than the original system.
40
Head & Shoulders Pattern.

This is one pattern that you are probably familiar with, but if you add a few
extra components you can make it more reliable.If you have an OB or OS
reading on the RSi at the point of the HEAD part of the price chart it will
increase your chances. Divergence on the MACD or RSi will also help, but you
MUST have long-shadows present at all the head and shoulders points. The
chart below also shows entry levels, ordinary and safe. As usual please
increase the magnification to see ALL relevant points.
Support & Resistance Line.

Quite a simple concept and one that works very well on my favourite
instrument the S&P500 index.
Heres the set-up on a chart (on the next page).
41
In this chart, I have marked some good trades and also some that do not
quite make the grade, and before you move on, can you decide for yourself
which ones I would have rejected.
I will give you the answers a bit further down, but first a few notes. I prefer
to have at least three candles at the same level although four would be
better, all these examples are using four candles, which on a 15min chart
means we are seeing price action over 60 minutes which is a reasonable
length of time to make a judgement. Also remember the length between the
candle pattern and the 20 EMA and make sure you have enough space to get
a good profit.
If you want to use divergence, you need to have at least 7 candles in the
support/resistance line.
42
Right the answers to the puzzle above, the good signals on the above chart
are trades marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 although I have not measured the profits
that may be possible before the price hits the 20 EMA. The others have small
mistakes in the signal and I will leave you to work out what they are by going
back through this manual or even better, you should be able to remember
the rules anyway.
V-Formation.
This pattern occurs quite a lot, and here it is in a chart:
Its a fairly simple pattern and there is no divergence, but you can see
abnormally large MACD movements as you can see on the chart above at
trades marked 2 & 3. The main point to note is that the RSi is either OB or OS
at the time of the candle/system pattern. As before, spend an hour or so
now to look for similiar patterns on your own chart before you move onto
the next pattern.
43
DTB Double Top/Bottom

This pattern is similiar to the support/resistance and H&S patterns but it is
normally a longer pattern (amount of candles) than the S/R line pattern.
Firstly, here is the chart showing the pattern:
The first part of the rules is to ensure that the first point of the divergence
line on the RSi is OB or OS as Ive shown in the chart above. You need a
minimum of seven candles in the pattern and also some divergence.
Obviously, as with all these patterns, you NEED TO HAVE a long shadow
candle pattern.
TTB Triangle Top/Bottom.
This is not such a popular pattern, but I believe it is still worth including in
this manual.
The main point to note here is that you need to have the usual longshadow candle pattern with OB or OS on the RSi. There may be some
44
divergence but it will probably only occur less than 50% of the time in my
experience.
Here is my screenshot of the TTB pattern.
As before, you should now spend an hour or so looking for this pattern on
your own chart before moving on to the next pattern.
Doing this will help you remember the pattern in the future.
UTB Unequal Top/Bottom
Right I have saved the best until last, as this pattern is one I have traded on
and off over the past 15 years.
This is a pattern which occurs quite a number of times on the S&P500 and
Gold charts and it will usually follow onto to another of the patterns I have
included in this system manual in a few pages time.
This pattern happens just before a reversal usually and in an up-trend will
form a new high before moving down slightly and then will try to get to the
same level as the previous high, but does not quite reach it.
45
In a down-trend the price will make a new low and then retrace, before
trying to get back to that previous low. If it fails and then starts to go back
up, we then have the possibility of price forming this UTB pattern.
In the chart below, there are 4 different examples of this pattern and shows
you just how many times it does appear on a wide variety of instruments. As
usual, look for this pattern on the S&P500 index first over the next hour as
you will see quite a few examples.
As there are many examples on the chart below, please increase the
magnification as before.
As you can see, there is NO divergence needed on this pattern although

some OB/OS readings would be very handy.
The chart below is one I would like to include as it shows that when you have
a seemingly ordinary Any-Time signal (a basic one shown in chapter 12) on
closer inspection it can be seen that parts of the trade signal are actually UTB
trade set-ups.
46
The first trade set-up I have marked is actually a FOUR candle UTB trade setup which hits the 20 EMA before retracing, and then going further down.
Around 4hrs later there is another set-up which on closer inspection is a UTB
pattern on its own again, although the pair of patterns together to go to
make a basic Any-Time system trade set-up.
If you do not see the patterns at first please magnify the chart and look
again, you will see it. Here is the chart:
47
Please spend some time with this pattern so as to understand it completely

as it does occur a great deal of the time.
Another chance for earning pips from the market comes after the UTB
pattern, and most of the others as well and here is the explanation of it.
Just scroll down.
16.
Extra Strategy
This bonus at the end of the manual will give you a chance to get into the
market if you missed the reversal pattern, or if youre already in the market
when this pattern occurs, you can stay in your trade for some extra pips.
This little strategy is worth the price of the manual on its own !! Its called:
The FR First retrace.
Once price has reversed, and you can normally see its heading the way you
thought as it would have gone through the 50 EMA, you need to look out for
this pattern, the FR. It occurs quite close to the reversal and it is simply the
first-retrace of the price after a reversal.
48
I will show you a few examples on charts below, and then you need to spend
an hour or so looking out for them on your own charts.
The chart below shows an normal UTB set-up and once the price has
reversed as the UTB has predicted, you can then see the FR set-up.
The good thing about this set-up/pattern is that even if you miss the
reversal pattern, you can still join in and earn some pips in the market!
Below is another set-up:
49
Examine this chart carefully after magnifying it and you can see the 1st
retrace after the price reversal is shown clearly, together with the entry level.
On the chart below, I show another set-up and also clearly mark the stoploss level, but when you work with candlestick patterns you will instinctually
know where to place your stops and entries.

17.
Conclusion
I hope you have enjoyed reading through all the parts that make up this very
reliable trading system.
If you carry out all the exercises as Ihave written them down, you should be
up and running in a few days, depending on how much time you can devote
to the learning process.
Pay particular heed to the demo-trading information I have written about,
you must have at least 70 trades under your belt before you embark on realmoney trading.
Since marketsmastered.com got going in the summer of 2008, I have
educated over 2000 customers and without exception, the few that have not
heeded this advice have failed in their quest to become professional fulltime financial traders.
Take your time going through this trading manual, there is no race that
youve got to win, and if you are rushing to learn this strategy (or any
system) so that you can begin to earn some proper money, I would suggest
that you examine why you are learning to trade. Too much focus on money
will hinder your progress as a consistently profitable trader believe me; I
have seen it happen on more than one occasion.
So finally may I thank you again for purchasing my Any-Time trading
system, and I wish you many good trades in the future.
Any questions/queries or problems, please email me at the usual address.
With my best wishes,
Nick marketsmastered.com
