System: Dimple Developments #1
Description: This is the strategy that I have used to trade for a living since quitting my job (as a lawyer) in February 2014 to trade fulltime. I firmly believe that objective and repeatable patterns/structures exist within the market, and this strategy attempts to identify these patterns. Specifically, it focuses on points of exhaustion and false-breakout, allowing me to (hopefully) forecast sharp market reversals that maximize profit with minimal risk. The entries are taken live, and then exits are a mixture of manual and automatic. Thanks for taking the time to look at my system.
