WBTrading – D1 Swing & Higher-Timeframe Bias-Bar Strategies [ 2 Edges]

My D1 swing edge is a completely mechanical momentum-play that I trade using a single momentum indicator alongside raw price-action. The edge can be applied across all markets and all timeframes, and the setup is executed on using rules that entirely remove emotion from the trading process.

Within this edge, depending on the timeframe selected and as it’s a swing edge, positions are help from anywhere between a couple to a few days or weeks right up into the months. The edge is designed to [almost just] run in the background. As mentioned above I usually hold positions at 1% initial risk each, keep total exposure below 25% of my total account equity and balance long-short, managing trades once a day. It’s an extremely passive and enjoyable way trade.

My Higher-Timeframe Bias Bar edge is a rule-based setup I built around one bias-bar in particular and that can be applied to all markets and all timeframes. I typically identify the bias-bar in question via a D1 timeframe which suits me best due to the very low time-commitment required, before moving down to a H1 timeframe to place an order by following my rules, before then walking away. Again, removing emotion and discretion entirely.

I trade this edge during the evenings by scanning through the major and minor currency pairs, and if I can identify a setup I place an order – Which takes no more than five minutes to do – Before then, as mentioned, walking away.
