Rules of the game

Hi Zak,
Thanks for all the great info!
I have been trying to teach myself your method and I really think it is necessary to put together a concise set of rules for each type of trade strategy - breakouts, reversals, box plays and continuations.

Then we can refer to the rules when we go through your examples and detailed explanations.

I think it will cause traders much stress if they have to read through pages while testing live trades, you need something concrete to work with.

I would be happy to help but I am struggling to work all the rules out myself.

I thought it could look something like this on a word or excel doc at the start of the new thread that can be updated:

TYPE OF TRADE
Breakouts

Entry conditions

Trade Direction:
1) Determine which pair to trade by looking at the direction of the combination pair??
2) ?

Pivot Levels:
1) ?
2) ?

CCI's:
On 15 min chart
1) Trade with the direction of the 336cci trend
2) ?

Moving averages:
On 15 min chart
1) if 7ma is < 20ma is < 80ma < 320ma and are close together?
2) ?

Exit conditions
Stop loss, profit targets etc??
