How Do I Manual Trade?

I get asked all the time how I manually trade and what “system” I’m using.

The honest answer? There isn’t really a system.

What I do is simply supplement what Katana is already doing by taking advantage of very aggressive price movement and I use SHOGUN on a separate chart to do it for me.

That might sound complicated. It’s actually ridiculously simple.

I have one chart running gold with KATANA. I have a second chart running gold with SHOGUN.

If I see price moving explosively, (and it HAS to be an explosive move), I’ll jump in at market price on the SHOGUN chart.

How sophisticated is my entry process? Not Very!

I click MT5's BUY button if price is exploding upwards.

I click MT5's SELL button if price is exploding downwards.

That’s it. Yes… really. 😄

Now obviously experience helps. After staring at charts for years you start to develop a feel for where price might be heading or what level it might be targeting.

But the reality is there’s very little analysis involved in the moment.

Sometimes it literally looks like spamming the BUY or SELL button during strong momentum.

Here's the magic sauce though. Once the trade moves into profit, SHOGUN shows me that, and I immediately hit TRAIL NOW.

Beforehand I’ve already chosen the trailing percentage I want.

A higher percentage = stop loss closer to price (tighter trail)

A lower percentage = stop loss further away (looser trail)

If I’ve entered multiple trades quickly, I simply press TRAIL ALL.

SHOGUN handles everything and trails them all relative to their price, and closes them when price hits their respective stop losses. It does it all way quicker than I could ever do it as a human. That's the power of automation.

And that’s basically the entire process. Once the stop loss starts trailing, it only moves forward, never backwards. So once the trade is in profit and trailing, profit is locked in and the system just keeps following price until the stop loss eventually gets hit. At that point the trade closes automatically.

Done.

Just to be crystal clear, this approach absolutely has risk.

If price reverses right when you enter, you can easily be caught on the wrong side of the move.

When that happens, you simply have to close the trade.

There’s no magic there. It’s not a recommendation and it's not financial advice.

It’s simply how I choose to trade using Shogun to automate the process for me.

Let me know if you want me to do a call on it.
