LMT Trade Plan Week 15th June & Results

Last week I received over 40 LMT Forex Signals including 12 off the daily charts. I personally took 12 trades, all of which were winners. Some only hit the 1st target and pulled back and took out the 2nd lot at entry, but as I have explained often, I have found this to be the best way to trade the LMT profitably.

Update: Sorry missed it there is a 4 signal on aud when market opens later in about 5 hours time on forex meta

I open 2 trades (divide your stake in half). I close the 1st trade at the 1st target for a profit & then move the stop on the 2nd lot to entry. This makes sure I bank at least some profit from the trade but then have a risk free chance at a much bigger move with the 2nd part of the trade. Risk free trading is nirvana for forex traders !

My note taking has been atrocious this last few weeks due to all the emails and admin to do with the blog. Whilst at the same time trying to trade my own accounts (+ daughters micro account)!

Therefore some of the signal TIMES that I state below may be wrong. I did get a signal but I am not 100% sure of the times.
Please don’t email me saying that “I cant see the wednesday 20.00 hour signal on my charts”, because I might be wrong ! I am trying to implement a better, more accurate system for this coming week.

I will try to find the time to post more regularly during the week and wherever possible before the close of the daily candle my thoughts on what might happen, which trades are none starters and which of the possibles are most likely to be the best to take.

I have had days when 6/7 trades have come at once. if i had waited until they arrived i would not have had time to get many trades placed before price moved. as Isaid in one of the articles below it is vital in forex that you plan the trade ahead and then trade the plan.

The important part is there were over 40 signals (including12 daily) off the 2 platforms.

I made over 650 pips this week, JUST from the LMT. One of you, Rob, made 820. He had never made that many in 3 months before! I am trying to find some kind of way to verify my pips total for the doubters amongst you. My trades are spread over 3 accounts.
My priority at the moment is to make a living/pips and keep up to date with the support. But I am getting better organised, just bear with me
As i pointed out in this article http://forex-fxtrader.com/If-Its-Raining LMT-Pips-Where-Did-Mine-Go-.html, if you are not getting the same number of signals, you need to copy what i am doing. Forex meta is obviously giving me a lot more signals at the moment.

Simply download another free metatrader platform from forex meta and run 2 at the same time.

Last week I posted an article showing you how you can add fibonacci numbers to your charts and use them to give you clues where price is likely to reverse/stop after a major move:
http://www.forex-fxtrader.com/Forex-Trends-&-Double-Bottoms.html. It is important that you learn this. This worked amazingly well on numerous pairs this week. See the euro/$ example below

See how pice pulled back EXACTLY to the 61.6% fib line before resuming its downward direction

See how price pulled back EXACTLY to the 61.8% fib line before resuming its downward direction

The following $/yen example is even better. Remember I said that the more indications you have that price is going to head in a different direction the better. Here we had price rebounding off a 50% fib line (standard fib trade) at the same time as an lmt signal.

The week ahead. Trade plan week commencing 15th June 2009

This research is taken from forex meta charts. This has taken me 5 hours today and my wife is going nuts. You need to learn to do this for yourselves. It is also more detailed than you need. But hopefully it gives you an idea of the planning and thought processes that go through successful forex traders minds.

gbp/$ No. There is a quadruple top on the 4 hour chart. Price could move sideways for a few days. We need price to either break through for continued direction or bounce off for a pullback to give an entry late in the week

euro/$. There is the possibility of a trade in the next few days. Keep your eye on it. Price currently stuck between 1.4133 & 1.3930 area

chf, jpy/$, aud, NO

euro/yen Possible tuesday. But lots of rejection 138.00 area/sideways at moment

gbp/yen NO, but broke through double top at 160.65 area. We need a pullback

Aud/yen same as above, broke top at 79.50 area

cad & euro cad. I am still avoiding at the moment

Euro/gbp. possible pullback up if mondays candle closes green. Will be against the trend on a daily, but could give us a 4 hour signal

$/yen has no signal, but price broke above 200ema on daily at 98.00 area. Various yen pairs as i said above have broken through upwards resistance. We could see lots of movement this week, BUT stick to your lmt rules.

Daily Charts (remember if you only have time to trade the daily charts, check the 4 hour charts at the same time. Sometimes there are signals on the 4 hour that are not on the daily).

If you are here from an invitation from me on the forum at traders secret library or twitter and you would like to receive a copy of my advanced lmt rules and be included in future updates please email me: marc@forex-fxtrader.com

      THANK YOU MARC.IS IT SAFE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT TO ALPARI/SAXOBANK IS VERY WELL KNOWN AND WE FEEL MORE SECURE ABOUT OUR MONEY.
    • Aris, they are bonded and registered with the british govenments FSA act. You will have to check the details for yourself, but I believe that your 1st gbp 5000 is protected by this scheme. More protection than a lot of internet brokers. The end of the day it is your money, therefore your decision, marc

      Hi MarcI.
      I am a follower of yours and I carefully read all of your suggestions. I bought the LMT and I made 150 pips last week using 4 hour signals. My problem is that I have a micro account with saxo bank (1000 euro's) and 50% of the win was lost as they charge extra for small lots. Which broker do you use. Do they charge commission for small lots ? Please let me know as I want to change broker, best regards, Aris
    • Hi Aris. For the million dollar challenge I opened a micro account with www.alpari.co.uk they earn their fees from the difference in the spread, the same as most brokers. You are not penalised because the account is a small one. Regards, Marc

      Hi,

      I was wondering where did Mak post his templates...

      Aud/Jpy 4h signal setting up, dont know if we should trade though...
    • hi rahm. i posted to all my followers that its best to stay out of the markets until the current mayhem calms down. if you would like to receive updates let me know, marc: marc@forex-fxtrader.com

      Hi Marc,
      Just want to say thank you for all the effort you put into supporting us. I really appreciate it!!

      Hi Marc...

      Thanks to Mak for providing the trade checklist templates. Can you clarify what the second column ("Max") contains? At first I thought it might be the ATR but that doesn't tie up with figures here http://www.global-view.com/forex-trading-tools/chartpts.html

      Thanks

      ...Neil
    • Neil
      Marc. are the trades listed the ones that the LMT signalled and that passed your "Human" checks, or just the LMT signals?

      Tip for newcomers to MT4 - don't have your PC set up to hibernate overnight. If PC isn't running then you won't get any signals from LMT/MT4. I came down this morning at just after 7:00 and missed out on any 7am signals that were generated from the 4hr chart (if any).

      This will be my first week with LMT. Looking forward to similar results to those that people have been reporting.

      ...Neil
    • neil, the 40 trade signals were what the lmt gave off 2 platforms. forex meta gave the most. I entered 12 trades based on the advanced rules. Ie no correlation trades. too big a candle etc
    • Hi Marc, thanks for all the tips and tricks you're giving for LMT and the time you're putting in to help your followers. I had a break-even week myself with LMT last week (19 trades all up), but I've now fired-up a forex meta account which will give the signals an hour earlier than the other broker. Also, I'll try the take-some-profits-at-first-target method. This might make all the difference between my mediocre results and the excellent results you and others are having. (It could also be my timezone where I'm taking completely different trades to the majority of others.)

      Do you use the exit strategy of the bar closing over the EMA or a 2-bar high/low? I know Dean demonstrates both in his manual, just wondering which is working best for you (or some other exit strategy)?
      Thanks,
      Mark
    • Hi Mark, exits are my weakness. i cant wait for a daily bar to close through the ema as dean suggests. i got out of a gbp daily long (it was only on a demo) when the price closed through the 4 hour ema. it would have lost another 200 pips profit if i had waited. It depends on your mentality. Thats why i split the trade in half and take profit on half at the 1st profit target. I HATE being in a winning trade only for it to come back and win nothing !

      Just want to let you know how awesome you are and how much your work is appreciated. I believe that I have finally bought my last how to make money in the Forex market program. Which is a good thing because I have spent a lot of money on programs in the last 2 years.
      Thank you very much
