It does not vary much from this: Look for last week close price for the pair you are trading, let's say GBP/GPY, which was 232.81. Then you add/substract a straddle value, say 50 pips. That is the value people started for that pair. So on week's ...

That is correct. I am trading real money on this system and it has proven worthy. Of course everyone adapts to its own conditions. I for myself adapted trying to predict the first movement and trying to avoid whipsaw-days... I am trying my own ...

Don't know about time diferences in trading for any of us, since the system is clear about opening. GMT is just to adjust to your own reality. I am not using the EA posted here (actually I use my own very simple EA that just wait until midnight to ...

Nice post indeed. I cannot agree more with you: markets do trend. However they do not trend MOST of the time. And sidewalks are trend-trader killers. You need cold-bood to survive any system. I myself think systems like TK's can be used in any kind ...

Being in the bands may not mean ranging markets, specially if you consider the typical lag in technical indicators like these: we may just miss a good week for a bad one. There seems to be a tradeoff between being right most of the times and wrong a ...

That is a good post. Too bad I did not see it earlier for I check only for weekly system, for it is much like my approach. And it is a good method too. I got some insights from your idea and will try to implement that on my trades. How exactly do ...

I can't say that I am not happy to see life in this thread. I have been experiencing losses myself with this. I have been trading four pairs to good profit until 2 months ago: GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY. However I noticed too much ...

It seems this thread is going like markets... very slow these weeks. I wonder how can we avoid situations like what is happening the 2 or 3 last weeks. I continue trading 4 diferent pairs, but it seems I am not imune to ranging markets. I am ...

Good point. I also believe one has to adapt strategies to their style and, mainly, trading psychology. I can talk from real market experience that tkimble's strategy has been profitable for me. I added some tweaking and plan to do even more ...

Trading only one pair is fair enough, as TK's strategy seems profitable for those who stick with it (and remember when he first posted, only one pair showed to be great! ). However, as I posted earlier, I think trading only one pair is ...

Forgot to post a little something earlier: I am thinking in adding a simple strategy to deem a pair unusable for the week. I mean when reaching a certain number of stops, just get out for the week. Like MaxTrades. Comments on that?

That was a really good example for the week. The two ideas I tried this week was increasing the numbers of pairs and ignoring the very first entry signals. Increasing the number of pairs, keeping in mind the risk manangement, showed really good ...

Virtually all charting software are capable of it. I personnally use DealBook for charting. It offers all kinds of indicators, plus you get to build your own... And the charts are just beautifull. Metatrader is the best choice for charting and ...

I had also posted this on weekly system, which appeal most to me.... I would like to hear about the pairs tested... Which seems to be more profitable? I think difersifying is a safer way to trade the system.

Thank you for your feedback. I would like to hear about pips results. Which pairs seemed to be more profitable? GBP/USD pulled back all my profits in GBP/JPY. So, for next week, I am planning on working on various pairs....

Very good week for GBP/JPY. Very bad for GBP/USD. By this data, it seems reasonable to 'diversify' the pairs. What pairs have you guys tested for weekly scalping? What had the most profitability? Although some say daily scalping is much more ...
- --Id-- replied Feb 21, 2007
I know most people are focused on daily scalping, but the week method fits better my style. However it is really dreadful on GBP/USD this week... As TK has said, the first trades, on Monday, are likely to get stopped out. I think everybody already ...

OOps — Sorry for that... I think it was Skylines' EA, wasn't it?
