Naked Forex: High-Probability Techniques for Trading Without Indicators

Naked Forex: High-Probability Techniques for Trading Without Indicators

This is a book that I have been wanting to read for awhile, but it always seemed to get pushed down my reading list. Well, it got pushed all the way back up to the top when I received a box from none other than Walter Peters.
If you have never heard of him, I interviewed him on the Podcast in Episode #7 and he is currently the most watched interview on the Trading Heroes YouTube channel.

Before I begin the review of this book, full disclosure…yes, I got this book for free and I do make a small commission if you purchase through this page. But I would not review this book unless I thought it was well worth reading. I don’t have time to spend on writing reviews for crappy books…period. To see more books I recommend, check out the Library and Book Club.

The Most Important Section Of This Book
Let’s start at the top. Walter is a psychologist by training and it really shines through in this book.
Unfortunately, psychology is not sexy to most aspiring traders, so it is usually placed at the end of trading books. It is no different in this book.
This being the case, I would actually recommend that you skip to the end of this book and read the psychology section first. It really is that good.
In particular, I liked what they write about the “circle of doom.” I see so many traders get trapped in it and I have been in it myself. There are also other topics such as: runners/gunners, gaining confidence and becoming an expert, which I found very useful.
The Rest Of The Book
But the rest of this book is not chopped liver either. I would recommend reading the entire book from cover-to-cover. Besides the section on psychology, there were two other sections that I found particularly informative.
First, the trading strategies are explained very well. They are simple and make sense. However, what I liked the most is that the book takes the time to explain the reason behind why they work.

Most books just say: look for this setup…then do this. But I liked the fact that this book explains what you should be looking for before the setups that might invalidate them.

However, the book doesn’t stop there. It goes one step further and encourages you to test the strategies using tools like Forex Tester 2. The trouble that I have with many trading courses is that they expect you to take them at their word that their strategy works. You just have to start trading it and you will be golden.

But I have learned from experience that if you do not understand the system well and understand the drawdowns, you will not have the confidence to stick with it. This is what causes people to jump from system to system until they finally think that this Forex trading thing doesn’t work. Backtesting can help you really understand how a trading method works.

Second, I really liked the way that Alex and Water lay out a road map for deciding when you are ready to move on to the next step. For example, how do you know when you are ready to open a live account? How do you know if you should keep demo trading?

They provide very specific parameters that will let you know when you are ready for the next level. Of course these are just guidelines, but they make a lot of sense and give you something to shoot for.

What Is Naked Trading Is Appealing And Why Do It

Naked trading is basically their flavor of price action trading. It is when you use price action alone to determine when to enter and exit trades. No indicators and no complicated chart setup.

If you have ever been confused by indicators or complicated trading systems that require several different criteria to be met before you can take a trade, then Naked Trading can be a breath of fresh air. I am currently testing some of the strategies myself.

Their strategies include: The Big Shadow, Wammies /Moolahs and more. I especially like the Trendy Kangaroo.

How to Get Started With Incremental Automation In Forex Trading

Some traders think that trading automation means that they have to create a trading robot that handles of all of their trading. It identifies the setup, enters the trade and manages the exits.

This is pretty damn appealing at first and you are probably thinking that this is something that you want to try. I don’t blame you, it appealed to me at one point. It still does, to a certain extent.

Making money while you sleep is the ultimate business.

But creating a trading robot is like getting married in Vegas while you are drunk. It always sounds like a good idea in the beginning, but it rarely ends in a happily ever after.

At least for the average trader.

When you get down to creating a fully automated robot, it is actually pretty scary. If you don’t know programming, you will either have to learn, or put your faith in a developer. Most people opt for a developer, I sure do.

Before you find a developer however, you will need to quantify your trading system so that a computer can understand it. Something that may be obvious to the human eye, may actually be really hard to define to a programmer.

Take pin candles for example. What is the ideal ratio of wick-to-body? How long should the total length of the candle be? Should it be a up or down candle? That’s not even getting to the entries and exits yet.

Even if you find the best developer in the world, there can still be bugs that can blow out your entire account. Maybe your trades don’t exit like they should if you have more than two trades open. Didn’t test for that?

Well, your trades might stay open longer than you expected. You might login to your trading account one day to find that it has gone to zero.

Not The Only Way

While this is one type of trading automation, it is not the only way. Don’t get me wrong, fully automated trading can work if you know what you are doing.

Like any other trading method however, it has to fit your personality and skill set. I honestly believe that only a small percentage of traders are cut out to be fully automated.

But what about the rest of us? Is there any way that almost any trader can get the benefits of fully automated trading without having to battle the fully automated beast?

I believe that the answer is yes. I call it Incremental Automation. This post will explore the concept of Incremental Automation in Forex trading. I will show you how to start simple and take your trading from partially automated to full automation. The great thing is that even partially automated trading can provide tremendous benefits.

When This Works

This will only work when the method you are trading has defined entry, management or exit signals. They don’t all have to be clearly defined, but the ones that will be automated need to be. Even if you are trading a very discretionary system however, Incremental Automation may still work for you.

Incremental Automation Defined

So what is Incremental Automation and how does it work?

It is simply the process of automating parts of a trading system and adding as many automated components as possible, until you reach the Maximum Automation Point (MAP).

The MAP could just be automating your entry signal with an indicator. You could also have a robot only handle your exits. The degree to which you automate is up to you and will depend on your trading method.

The Simplest Forms Of Automation

Let’s start with a couple of things that you can do right now. The first thing is to create price level alerts.

You can begin by setting an alert when the price of a currency pair hits a historical high or low. These areas can be major turning points in a currency pair.

Since most people use Metatrader, I’ll use that as an example. To setup a price level alert in MT4, click on the Terminal icon, then click on the Alerts tab. Then right-click on the alerts window and click Create from the menu.

Then setup the type of alert that you want and the price at which you want to be alerted. Text message alerts and push notifications are the easiest way to get notified when you are on the go.

Before you start relying on the alert, be sure to test it out. For more information on how this works check out the MQL4 documentation.

Many mobile apps also have this capability. Here is what it looks like on the Oanda iPhone app:

How to Get Started With Incremental Automation In Forex Trading

You might forget that limit and stop entry orders are also forms of trading automation. Set your entry levels beforehand and you don’t have to worry about watching the trades closely. The only thing that you do have to worry about is canceling pending orders if they are no longer valid.

Automation Through Indicators

If you need to get more complex alerts, custom indicators are the next step in the Incremental Automation process. They provide you with more flexibility than simple price alerts, but they do not take the extra step of actually executing trades.

This is as far as most independent traders will need to go. Using custom indicators with built-in alerts can greatly reduce the number of trades that you miss.

In order to create your first custom indicator, be sure look around for a programmer who has a good reputation and can create what you need at an affordable price. Websites likeElance can also be another source of good talent.

You can also look around the MQL4 Source Code Library to see if there are any existing solutions that you can use. Remember to thoroughly test any indicator that you use.

Indicators may not be as dangerous as Expert Advisers because they do not execute trades, but there can still be bugs. Monitor your indicators closely for a few weeks to uncover any flaws.

Automation Through Expert Advisors (EAs)

If you have been able to automate your trading signals, now it might be time to start automating your entries and exits. Just like with the rest of this process, you can choose the degree to which you automate.

You may want to enter trades manually, but have an EA exit the trades for you. Or you might want the EA to manage moving your stop. Whatever the case may be, EAs do not have to be used to completely automate your trading.

Conclusion

Consider how you can automate pieces of your system and incrementally get to a level of automation that you are comfortable with. Fully automated trading isn’t for everyone.

But you can still benefit from using it in pieces. I hope that this post has helped you look at automation a little differently. When used correctly, it can help you spend less time in front of the screens. It can also help you diversify your trading strategies and watch multiple systems at the same time.

FXChartist Lite – Forex iPhone Charting App First Look

I have been wanting to talk about this app for months, but it wasn’t live yet, so I couldn’t. Because of this blog, I was fortunate to be contacted by the developer Ollie Birch, early on in the development process.

He had an idea for an app that would streamline charting on mobile devices. This intrigued me because although I knew that Forex charting on mobile devices was broken, I wasn’t exactly sure how to fix it.

The first demo copy of the app was really rough, but I could see the possibilities immediately. He finally launched the app on the Apple App Store and this post will show you how it is different from other Forex charting apps, what I like about it and what still needs to be improved.

If you would like to see a demo video of how it works, you can skip to the end of this post.

How It Is Different

There is a lot of fat in existing Forex charting apps. But you don’t realize this until you really start thinking about how apps could be streamlined. To this end, FXChartist starts by removing the quote list.

Gasp, no quote list?

When you really think about it, the quote list is a waste of time. Do you really care about the spread. Not usually.

What most people care about are the charts. At least that is my primary concern.

When you first start the app, you see a chart list like the one to the right. The data currently comes from FXCM, but there may be options in the future to chose your data provider.

What I Like About This App

I love how Ollie as streamlined the Forex charting process to make it as simple and efficient as possible. The flow between screens is much more intuitive than with other apps likeMetatrader and TradeInterceptor.

He has also taken out a lot of the bloat that comes with other apps. Things like so-called education, a mailbox, broker signups and market commentary are thankfully missing.

Where FXChartist Can Be Improved

All that being said, this version is his first shot at it and he is a one-man shop, so not all of the features are there yet. It still needs:

All currency pairs

Indicators

Ability to trade with a broker

There are also other things that could be added in later. For example, Bitcoin quotes and a simple economic calendar.

I don’t know about you, but I have found all economic calendars on mobile apps pretty much unusable. They usually lack simple filtering, so you get news about every single currency.

I’m not so interested in the Iraqi Dinar or Mexican Peso. At least for Forex trading purposes. So if he could streamline the calendar, that would be awesome.

Forex Programming Services Directory

Forex programming services can be a little hard to find. In my experience, even the most thorough online searches do not uncover very many results when it comes to finding services that will help you create custom indicators, scripts or Expert Advisors (EA) for trading/charting platforms such as Metatrader.

This is a free directory and I do not endorse any of these services. If you have a Forex related programming service and would like it added to the list, contact me and let me know.

Services

Expert Advisors – the automated trading program in Metatrader is called an Expert advisor. This program may use other trading tools such as indicators or libraries for automation of the trading processes. We program expert advisors from scratch, or modifying existing ones.

Custom Indicators – the charting tool in Metatrader is called indicator. Used widely as a trading tool for automatic and manual trading systems.

Scripts– a program intended for a single performing of any actions. A script can fulfil both analytical and trading functions. Unlike experts, scripts are executed on request, not by ticks.

Metatrader 5 – Solutions from scratch or porting from Metatrader 4.

Protection Solutions – MQL4 programs may be protected from knowledge stealth. Today a simple decompilation process may reveal your proprietary knowledge. We can help you protect it.

DLL Coding Service – the Metatrader’s supported functionality is limited. Sometimes the expert advisor is required to do something which is not supported directly by the platform and may be implemented as an extension in the form of a DLL (an external library)
