Send them an email, they are normally pretty quick with responses. I'm still using them and still very happy with them. Put it this way, rarely even think about my VPS, which gives you an idea to how stable/reliable the service is. They've also just ...

Hi mDf, I've actually put together quite a lot of long posts in this thread setting out my strategy in full. I've linked one for you: url

I generally can't get it to work either, so I stopped using it for trailing stops! I was testing another EA entirely. It's not mine to circulate (not sure if the version I had was made available on FF), however the creator is Maudur, so you could ...

Sorry Koglkama, I must have missed this. There is no hard and fast rule for this. It's an attempt to define a trading range for the pruposes of identifying a breakout, so it's very subjective, what ever produces the best results for you. I'm ...

Good luck! It was tricky trading London open today. I had 2 losers and a winner. Total of 2.5% loss. Lots of nice crosses on all TFs, followed swiftly by re-crosses!

1. Click on the file I attached to my post and download it to your computer (it's a TPL file, not a regular file). 2. Go to Charts -> Template -> Load Template... on MT4 3. Navigate to where you saved my tpl file. Select it. I tend to save them to ...

For stops, it's entirely up to you. SLs should generally be placed at the point where the market will have proven your analysis to be wrong. So for example, if you are trading a BO, place your stop at the place where your BO becomes invalid. For me, ...

Hi Baslic. I've no experience with IGINDEX, however you could open a demo account with any broker offering MT4 (Alpari offer demo accounts which never expire), load up the relevant indicators and then monitor on there. Then when you want to actually ...

That's the template I use. I just loaded it up onto a fresh platform to check if it worked. It did. the colours are the same -grey background with gold and blue 3/8 EMA's and a black 200 EMA. Can you describe what doesn't appear to be working?
- forexpippy replied Nov 16, 2011
Really? It's grey, blue and gold. 30 seconds of actually trying to change the colours yourself would have led to the same screen. However, in the interests of "community spirit", here is my template (which took considerably longer than 30 seconds to ...

Hi Lite. All my posts refer to EMA which is Exponential Moving Average, that's what I'm using. I find it better for the type of crosses I'm looking to catch (e.g. short powerful moves at market opens, where I need quicker confirmation).

Hi Malinbeg. Yes, as I mentioned in my strategy post earlier, the initial BO on London open tends to be pretty random, so i try to avoid a directional bias until I've spotted a BO. So even if the BO is counter-trend I will happily trade it. This ...

This should be fun....... — Next time I've got a spare few hours, I'm going to turn on the candles (with the 3/8 EMAs in view) and save M30 and M5 chart screenshots for the last 12 months (eugh!). I'll print them out at work and manually ...

Glad to hear you are having success with the BOs iggybo! Sounds like we a trading a very similar variant of this strategy. I too am having unprecedented success. If you pop over to this thread, and have a look at my posts, you'll see how I'm using ...

My morning trades........ EURUSD and AUDUSD Absolute text book set ups (as they seem to be most mornings ha ha!). Entered with 11 pip SL on each (about 0.7% of account balance) and TP of 18 pips (about 1.25% of account balance). Both hit TP very ...

Yes, it does seem to be profitable. What I'm trying to tap into at the moment (your chart helps to show this) is the HUGE moves. It looks very simple on the H1....simply place a trade once the 3/8 EMAs cross and breakout, then close the trade when ...

Yes, but I'm not sure my logic is correct! It's based purely on my observations so far I've been thinking about it, and the closest I can come to a logical answer is this: I'm primarily trading EURUSD and GBPUSD, which are traded fairly ...

I actually took a similar trade this morning. 08.45 GMT EURUSD Sold @ 1.3580 SL = 1.3591 (11 pips) TP = 1.3557 (23 pips) The reason my trade was later than yours is because I only take trades at London open which have cleared the Asian trading range. ...

The difficulty I have is that I can't monitor my trades once they have been placed. I've tried various things, such as setting jumping stops, but to be honest, nothing compares to being able to watch the charts. So I take the clearest initial TP and ...

I've not abandoned this thread, I'm still trading the EMA cross overs and it's still being really profitable for me. The problem is that it's a pain for me to get charts posted (i'm trading from my iphone after I've checked set ups in the house ...
