DislikedOpen price: 1.5627
SL Price: 1.5666, SL: 39 pips
TP price: 0.5/1.5606, 0.3/1.5571, 0.2/1.5543, TP: 44 (21, 56, 84) pips
SINGLE OPENING.
R:R-ratio: 1.13.
Conclusion: trade is OK.
Cons: SMA200 is close; white bar with long lower tail - buying pressure from about 1.5610;
Pros: a TC from EMA8; bearish engulfing candle; some space to SMA200 to move to BE
In positive case if 0.5 reaches TP1 (22 pips), will move another 0.5 to BE.
In negative - if price makes a HH and HL on 5min, will be looking for exit with small loss.
Edit1:
40 minutes after opening - unfixed loss of -30 pips, retracement more than 61.8% of signal bar; seems to be a bad trade.
Edit2:
and vualya - stoploss, -38 pips. There was no chance to exit at BE.
Could anybody explain, why this setup may be worse than a similar TC on EU on last Fri? Or it was "just one of those bad"?Ignored
above. The 04:00-08:00 candle however closed lower below the 89sma with a strong possibility thet it will go down to the 200sma below.
R:R worked out OK to the 200sma
Enter 1.9755
SL 1.9789
TP 1.9818
Will close 50% after 25pips and set remainder at 25 trailing stop.
Edit 1
50% closed after 25pips and remainder set to 25trailing stop
Edit 2
Trailing stop closed for 56pips
Total gain (25+56)/2 = 39.5
DislikedThe price closed inbetween the 89sma and 200sma. Price is caught between 2 levels of support on the 200sma and resistance the 89sma. There is not enough room down to the 200sma to make the R:R OK.
Look at the trade I did today on the GbpUsd. Similar situation but the R:R down to the 200sma was OK.Ignored
DislikedThanks, Phillip. And your trade on GU is quite nice.
The more I watch this system and the thread, the more I see that without experience, knowing of market motion, the rules even of this system may not help. I've backtested 7 months of 2007 on EU, taking only TCs (BOZ, ZB) and the result is about 0 after 37 trades. Similar I have for real-time demo since the end of March'08 (17 trades). Filtration of TC's only is not a so simple task as it may seem at the beginning.Ignored

DislikedHi Pete,
Thank you.
I started to learn a forex since October 2005. I bought a course from Forexmentor (Peter Bain). I read every thing written on forex : how to read a chart properly, do a top down analysis, Steve Nison books on candlesticks, Mark Douglas book on Trading in the zone, Chris Lori courses and others professionnal traders books. After learned all those systems which were wonderful but I feel I'm still miss something for my trading career. In the past, I had a big problem to determine a trend. I traded counter trend all the time. I blew my account twice. So I stop trading for a while and start to look a system that fits for my style. So, I ask myself what kind of system is better for me. I like the moving average for determine the trend in a specific period. So God lead me to forexfactory and found a 4 hour macd system written by Phillip Neil since a year. I was happy to grab on the documents for free so I started serously learning the 4 hour macd system. Now, I am very successful to trade with this system.
Long story just to prove that I love to trade as my home commission based bussiness.
