While theoretically I could take this system and make money off of it, I'd rather see everyone
benefit. If you should so decide to claim this method as your own, so be it, and I hope you can
sleep soundly at night! I would like to have credit for this though.
Just as a precursor, what this method COULD do for you after 6 months of backtesting:
As of now, I have started forward testing this week and am currently up about 700 PIPS in one
week, which has admittedly been just a lucky catch. If I were to use my method (which I am), I
would stick to volatile pairs.. i.e. GBP/USD.
So now that you know what this system COULD do, here is HOW it works:
Then look for pivot points! Pretty easy, I know... But some of us may not know what pivot points
look like, so let me describe them to you:
Set an RSI(10) on your graph. I would draw 2 extra horizontal trendlines on your RSI at 40 and
60.
Now there are several scenarios(rules) that will indicate whether to actually buy in our real world
example:
NOTE: If a BUY scenario is not reached within 3 days(3 BARS), then we do not act upon the
pivot point. That is to say there are 3 bars between the MIN/MAX day and today.
If our magic number 1.8969 is reached and the RSI(10) is sloping UP, ABOVE 50, then we
BUY.
If our magic number 1.8969 is reached and the RSI(10) is sloping UP,
JUST came from 30, and now ABOVE 40, then we BUY.
If our magic number 1.8969 is reached and the RSI(10) is sloping DOWN,
ABOVE 50, we do NOTHING.
Otherwise, If our magic number 1.8969 is reached and the RSI(10) is BELOW 50 we do
NOTHING.
We then sell out when the next pivot point exists, EVEN if it is 2 bars later.. Again this means a
MAXIMUM must develop and the next bar must not exceed it, and also go below the LOW of
the MAXIMUM.
NOTE: If a new maximum develops before the pivot point happens, we keep riding!
ALSO, we set the stop loss to either the minimum that we bought near or 100 PIPS, whichever is
less.
Now I assume we are all intelligent and would be able to reverse everything for a sell position,
but if you have any questions feel free to ask. The only major thing is using a value of 40 instead
of 60 and 30 instead of 70 for the RSI(10) scenarios.
