Live Questions from Members

  1. Can you let me know your thoughts on the FTSE 250 chart? 51:29
  2. What is the outlook for DXY in the near term? 52:51
  3. When multiple breakouts occur simultaneously, how do you choose which ones to trade? 54:13
  4. When does Aksel choose to use the 1.5% breakout rule, over the 3% rule? Is there a specific criteria for 1.5% instead of 3%, or does the eye simply judge it? 54:56
  5. Could we have a view/comment on the current metal run, particularly Gold, Copper, and silver, and the bearish nature of the USD. 55:52
  6. Do you take all trades with a clear pattern or only take trades with a clear pattern and a minimum reward-to-risk ratio? 57:17
  7. Do you use a screen/filter to identify a shortlist of charts from which you eyeball for patterns? 58:47
  8. Regarding the pattern statistics: Have you considered organizing pattern success rates by Exchange? My assumption is that Turkey and Japan had much higher than average win rates this year, while the U.S. had much lower. If one can only trade a single region, they likely experience very different success rates and must adjust accordingly. 59:36
  9. ATR STOP is based on 30 day ATR * 3? 01:00:39
  10. Do you only highlight breakouts that will be above the 200 day m.a.? 01:00:56
