Open the MT4, play with 2 currency, EUR/USD & USD/JPY, M5 at top and M1 at bottom (4 charts in one screen). M1 setting as 4 timeframes (HeiKin); M5 in Hekin with color MACD.
Second program to open is FXCM-Micro, 3 major windows to be displayed, 1. left top as dealing rates, only 2 pairs of currency (EUR/USD & USD/JPY, display as top & bottom). 2. Right top as M5 chart, in simple candlesticks, no other indicator at all. 3. The bottom window with whole width, which displays all folders, such as A/C summary, open trade, closed trade etc. Remember to set the size of whole program window as the half size of MT4 width, so when you plan EUR/USD, move the FXCM window to right; or you play with USD/JPY, then move the FXCM window to left, simple and easy to play.
One single rule to play:
- wait for at least 2 same colors (M1 & M5, at least) in 4 Heikin timeframes (the sub-chart of M1), and same colour of MACD histogram bar (no need to worry whether in + or -);
- then trade, either buy or sell (better wait a moment to wait for the rebond of candlestick and go for your prefer direction, then jump in), of course to pre-set the stop and limit, and with trailing stop (in Micro, cannot set a smaller range?); set the limit with 7 pips and the stop with 35 pips as pre-set; after get in the trade, don't move the limit any more, but move the stop to the previous top/bottom of candlestick (the one at previous top or bottom), then let the programme run automatically.
Also, I should set the weekly target, say 10% increment per week, if base on $1,000 deposit, 10% = $100, 5 days trade, $20 per day, that's all!! About the amount to be trade, in 1:400 a/c, I may set with 20k per play, 2 times trade = $28 USD, ok!!
Only that simple, don't waste time to try other methods, focus on this and modify it if any. Play at least 1 week to see the result. Now the FXCM Micro demo with exact $1,000 USD as at 2-6-09, see the result for 1 week after.
