This is Shirou!

In this article, I will introduce a simple method I discovered for trading in the valley between the Sky and the Earth!

Not a method according to the manualbut an entirely independent methodI would be grateful if you view it as a reference

Sky and Earth Valley Simple Independent Trading Method ① Rules

The rule is trading the current valley against the higher-timeframe mountain.

Let’s look at it in an image.

This time I’m testing on a 1-hour chart.

USDJPY 1-hour

• The Sky and Earth Mountain: include only MTF and set to 4-hour
• Valley set to current
• Trade in the valley following the higher-timeframe mountain
• Take profit/stop loss using ABUATR2

When the mountain points toward the entry direction, the win rate is higher.

Like this

I tested on 28 currencies.

USDJPY 〇

This is the USDJPY I just introduced.

Both sides can be captured, right?

The second time the mountain is barely there, but since the higher timeframe is about to cross zero, there is a fair amount of edge.

USDCAD × 〇

It reached a good point at the edge, but got hunted.

The ascent of the mountain is good.

There is another valley.

In practice,the valley is confirmed one line after the vertical line.

The entry point is the open of the blue candle one bar ahead.

Long targets and profit are achieved. The mountain continues to rise intermittently, so the edge is relatively strong.

NZDJPY 〇

If the mountain is about halfway up, it’s reassuring.

Range movement continues, but there is temporarily a current-era pullback selling point (valley).

NZDCHF × 〇

Being hunted. When the mountain moves in the opposite direction, edge drops.

Indeed, when it goes straight or more mountains appear in the entry direction, win rate stabilizes.

Another one.

The mountains are few, but they are increasing a bit in the entry direction and straight, so edge is〇

NZDCAD 〇 〇

Mountains increase in the entry direction. Edge is high.

Another one.

This is also nicely captured.

• Valley after zero-line cross and first valley
• Mountains extend in the entry direction
• Close to Sky and Earth line

Personally, this is an excellent point.

GBPUSD 〇

Mountains are increasing and valleys are forming. A good point.

GBPJPY × 〇

Since the peak of the mountain is finished, it tends to bounce to long.

A point to watch.

One more.

Looking at the chart,there are still enough mountains remaining.

If mountains are half of full width, edge is higher

Be careful at the peak of the middle mountain!

Higher-timeframe selling pressure is near peak. Selling more when selling is already happening often lowers trading quality.

GBPCHF × 〇

Stop loss. If you look closely, the mountain is in reverse direction. Edge drops in such cases.

Second one.

A clean retracement selling point.

However, the mountain is slightly decreasing. A caution point as well.

Third one.

Stop loss. The candle is open wide, likely just after a new day.

The entry point isn’t bad.

GBPCAD 〇 〇

Valley after the mountain peak is dangerous.

It tends to move against you.

Somehow barely captured, but I’d prefer to aim for a long zone.

Another one

Retracement selling point when there is ample mountain height.

There are many, so I’ll stop here for now.

Summary – Tips and Impressions

Here are the trading tips summarized below.

• Mountains are sufficiently present (refer to GBPJPY)
• Not at the mountain peak or after the peak

To further increase the win rate,

• Mountains are increasing
• After a zero-line cross, edge is higher

I feel that even a simple method gains higher edge on the 1-hour chart.

The number of entries isn’t too many or too few; it feels just right.

Above all, ABUATR2 is easy to use.

As you get used to it, using ABUATR3 to take profit on promising entry points to extend profit is also good.
