Hey all. I am newbee to trading and i have been reading the Mouteki threads for about a week. Though I don't know squat about trading yet I am a statistician by profession. What I see from method is it's simplicity and it looks like it might work. But there is a lot of guesswork involved and seem people are experimenting with different stop/losses, projections etc. It's OK if it is working for you. But the method is so simple it can be easily mathematically (ie, precisely) modeled with historical data -- and exact, maximum gain stop losses, projections etc can be calculated. The more backtesting/historical data the more confidence we can have in the predictions. I have been trying to find historical data for the 4 hour candle stick values (open, close, high, low) but have not had any luck. Can anyone tell me where to get it? If someone has it and shares it with me I'll run the results, and i would be be happy to publish them here on the forum. Once I set up the formulas, I can run them for any currency pair for which there is data. It's a couple of days work for me but it seems worth it. It will prove (or disprove) once and for all whether this works and give exact risk/reward ratios for different stop losses, pip projections, etc.
email is waxphilasophic@hotmail.com.

Good luck
