Sweet trade this morning for those that caught it, I was lazy enough to stay tucked up in bed too long to even place a market order, let alone stops/limit orders. Having to wake up at 6:45 to place those orders is tough work I tell you ...

On top of the ant_Gu breakout indicator you'll find all over the place, a couple of pages back in this thread you'll find the settings to put into your fibonacci retracement then just draw it across the range. You'll work it out

Don't blame yourself for todays losses, remember today was a bank holiday for the brits and the yanks so there was a lot less volume/liquidity and volatility so systems often don't work as well on bank holidays. Just a bit of food for thought.

Also this way you (hopefully) won't get people telling you to apply filter indicators and ways you can improve your system, seeing as at the moment it looks perfect. Great system man, wishing you the best in full time trading. Big chunk of holiday ...

Hey dude just gotta role with the punches, but IMO you could've placed your stop a little tighter, on the lower MA perhaps, or set it to break even once you were in profit. Also the AUD/USD would be better to trade when in the australian/usa ...

Could we be seeing a possible short on the EJ?

Could've caught a cheeky 10 pips just now, Didn't like the price action market had been completely sideways.

I mean you "could" add in an RSI or an EMA or something of the likes, which i wouldn't reccomend, but remember that no system is perfect so you've just gotta roll with the punches, and make sure you place your stops correctly so something like that ...

Great thread you've got right here, Just testing out the method on RBS marketindex (a broker who license Oanda's platform) and it's really rekindling my love with the Oanda platform, So much better than any of this metatrader nonsense. It's ...

Just because people only post winning trades doesn't mean the system is fault-less or just blind luck. But 70%? Pull that stat right from your behind?

IBFX too... Hmm all these brokers must be linked together to stop hunt all the traders in the world. Yeah.

You could also try moving to stop to the position of the parabolic sar every new bar. Not tried it myself but its an idea.
- georgecotton replied Jan 3, 2009
I simply wait for the candle to close, and enter as long as it paints the sar on the same side at the open of the second candle and the slope line is the same colour, you miss out on a couple of pips sure, but better safe than sorry. 5 min timeframe ...

Magic number is a feature placed in most EA's nowadays which insures any trades that aren't made by the EA aren't closed or modified in any way by checking to see if the trades magic number corresponds with the EAs. Its also useful if you're using ...

I wouldn't be surprised if there were whipsaws a plenty on the 1m timeframe but I jumped in for a few trades 3 or hours ago on the 5m on EURUSD, EURJPY, USDJPY and GBPJPY and made 120 pips or so. I always wait until the second candle being aligned ...

No need to add the normal default Parabolic SAR to your chart as the Parabolic alert indicator paints it all on the chart as the normal one would, However the default Properties aren't as suggested in the beginning of this thread so be sure to ...

And remember everyone, Always use stop losses, and as soon as you're 20 or so pips in the clear (on a low time frame) set a break even stop loss, or a trailing stop if you feel confident enough. Happy trading y'all

plugged it through the visual backtester, indicator doesn't repaint past the open bar which is always good news. Just my 2 cents, Scalping in general I find a bit stressful and often trades even on the 5 minute timeframe don't leave you with a lot ...
