So i'm a new Forex gambler trying to turn trader, I've been reading up as any newbie should and came up with a crude 1st strategy based on Kathleen Brook's fusion philiosphy. I want to share this strategy (since im rather proud of it being my 1st system) and would like a second opinion (go on guys...rip me a new 1)

I have done some 3 simulations last week and all three have experienced positive results so far, i will post up the simulation results after i've explained my system step by step:

1. First decide on an objective/deadline as a target, either a time i.e. 6pm (when you want to stop trading) or a profit level (T/P.. be realistic when setting this target).

2. Next using either fundamental or technical analysis determine the general direction you think a currency will go (up or down) for at least a few hours... My personal favourite indicators for this is displaced EMA, MACD and or Ichimoku Cloud 

3. (this portion is slightly subjective) Now looking at the candle sticks (i normally look at 1hr time frame) return to previous 2-4 candlestick's entry point and insert Gann Fan (you can use other fans as well but i favour this one), preferably the chosen entry point is not a lowest/highest point the graph so far as you will need these later. From the inserted entry point place the sides of the fan at the lowest/highest ever reached point on the graph so far, these will provide you with an expected range of trading. 

4. Your objective and projected range's middle should overlap at some point, provided your inital direction is correct you have your optimal estimated time/price as a objective/take profit in the middle of the fan. The two regions on either side are your supporting levels/ acceptable regions and the outer regions become your stop-loss depending on individual preferences.

**NOTE** The further out the price goes the less likely your target will be met, Anything outside of the outer regions  should be considered a loss cause and further considerations should me made.

As mentioned this system remains in a crude stage and will welcome any feedback you guys can give, From the 3 simulations I have run i have received all positive results so far.

FYI Guys the 1st and 3rd simulations hit bulls eye, the 2nd simulation hit the blue area (sightly over our target point which was even better)

I look forward to your opinions!

You r clearly defining ur strategy so I dun think your a forex gambler as you said in ur first post. You r, atm, trying to trade based on analysis.

Heyo, I was a gambler (butthen i blew up first account), now trying to become trader through analysis instead as you've pointed out.. this is the first strategy i've been able to come up with since i actually did some reading and i'm hoping to get some pointers [cool].

Thats right i was introduced to it only about a month ago (so im still relatively new), it blew my mind at first but after 5-10mins of reading on a weekly basis i'd like to think im starting to get it. 

The strategy is an original one of mine i thought up while trying to read and scalp at the same time which resulted in this system, and its still in developmental stages depending on successful performance. Feel free to implement it yourself [blush] but please just remeber to give me feedback on the results, it would be beneficial to me and anyone else who wants to give it a try :) - thanks!

I tested the system out with relatively good feedback, the only thing i noticed is that the system is more accurately during less volatile periods if your target is based on time, if it is based on a price however it has been pretty profitable (as seen on my profile). 

On one occassion however it triggered stop-loss THEN went the way i wanted, i recommend either adding a martingale system as a support should this happen via pending order...
Another way to do it is expanding your stop-loss but you'd have to be prepared to lose more as a result, so i personally would prefer the former so long as the direction is where you want it.

Hiya i noticed also that the system is projection based.... it is vulnerable right at the start, then there is an optimal period of operation which then declines as the projection range becomes too large to remain accurate... i think the key is to identify its optimal period of operation, the issue is how which would be interesting to hear from others on this.

I disagree with Purple's suggested ammendments, martingale and Expanding Stop-loss simply opens your strategy up for increased risk..

I would recommend adding some indicators to determine trend, momentum and range trading. I tried your projection strategy with the use of triangles for range trading and trend, supported by MACD for momentum and EMA, I found these boosted the accuracy of your strategy greatly without a need to increase risk at all!

It will take time to understand this system as I never drew so many technicals on my chart.

simple= bliss, i think you may just be confusing yourself here dude, range trading works pretty well in a simliar way with the exception for the time estimation.
