Hi dmuk, The rules are attached in the following post: url I think the stoploss is fixed at 100 pips - up from 55 pips up until 25th April 2008. You can of course use a volatility based stop instead - I do. There is no take profit rule - just a ...

Hi Asasa, Yes, it's been not bad. We'll see how it concludes tomorrow morning. I'm currently up around 17% for the week (across all three of my systems). Would you care to comment how your MM approach compares to mine suggested at the top of page ...

Razor_trader, doesn't your sig contradict your comment somewhat?! The 2 traders (your cool, disciplined one vs my nervous, arbitrary one) could have both tested the same system showing a profitable edge. However their personal characteristics give ...

indeed, that is the only one I'll use these days! but seriously, the difference between using an SMA or EMA (some people say the latter is better because it more heavily weights recent prices) will be tiny compared with many other factors in your ...

Hi Range Trader, Yes, this system has been in a big drawdown for a loonnng time! I can post the latest version of the system (though it has not been tested on the latest version of Trading Blox) in the "Blox Marketplace" section of the Trading Blox ...

Yes, it's certainly a challenge to keep on taking the trades. I've been trading FSP and ONS for over two years and am currently in a 18% drawdown (largely because I've kept on adding capital during the drawdowns). I've programmed FSP into my ...

Hi All, I wonder how many people out there are still trading FSP and ONS? I am hanging on there and continually looking for ways to try and improve them. I trade ONS with a relatively tight volatility-based stop which, of course, has a lower ...

Hi RussiaTrader, Your posts are most appreciated and provide food for thought. A couple of questions if you don't mind: 1.) Do you trade a variation of DIBS yourself? 2.) You mention how important the exit is. I have only tested using a 20 day M.A. ...

Hi ekling, My guess would be that reducing the risk in this case will also decrease the results (depending on what you mean by "results" and whether that is favourable - CAGR%, max drawdown, MAR etc). However if you added 3 more (preferably not ...

Hi Razorboy, I was testing the relative effect of comparing the breakout (above or below the previous Inside Bar) with the "open of the day for trend determination purposes" (varying it from midnight GMT to 6am). This does not affect the window in ...

Hi smikester, I think my understanding stems from the use of "on the day" as in: Only be willing to buy a market if it is up on the day. Only be willing to sell a market if it is down on the day. I understood this to mean the trading day, i.e. from ...

My reading of Peter's posts was that the direction in which to take the breakout was determined by whether the breakout was above or below the open at 6am GMT? This would roughly be the open of his calendar day too - I can't remember if he is CST or ...

This reminded me of an issue that has been bothering me for a while... The slippage, commission and spread for DIBS are very important when backtesting as they can turn a profitable backtest into a losing one. Therefore it is very important not to ...

Hi James, No problem - I use Trading Blox Builder edition, which as you probably know, was initially developed by a former Turtle. It originally was aimed at Long Term Trend Following Futures traders (as you would expect) using daily data but now ...

Backtesting by hand is certainly a valid way to test a strategy and has it's advantages. However, I think that automating the strategy has even more advantages - these days you can get some pretty good backtesting software - if you are prepared to ...

Hello, I'm still trading FSP and ONS through the drawdown. I've been adding money to my account during the drawdown which has masked it a bit. However my backtests indicate being in a 40-50% or so drawdown. When you get a number of weeks of all 5 ...

Hello Everyone, Speaking as a (currently non-profitable) trader my first thoughts would be: - using a 5 min bar would give more opportunities - BUT each move would cost more due to the increased cost relatively to the spread on the currency pair. ...

Hi Josh, Yes, same thing happened to me though I work off an 08:00 GMT open. However I checked with the 06:00 open against my Oanda account and the longs would have been taken for both the JPY trades. Possibly some discretion learned from years of ...
