I've been reading through this thread and doing some preliminary backtesting using TeamAphid's modifications. My initial observations show this to be a potentially very profitable system across multiple pairs. As there's not been a lot posting on ...

Hi TA: Just wanted to compare notes on the current GBPJPY trade. As you can see on the chart below, there was a nasty little spike up which triggered a long, followed by a major spike down which triggered the long @ 61.8, and (would have even ...

One other question, must you wait for the Bat line to turn horizontal before moving your stop from swing-10? For example, on the chart below, where would your stop be for the currenct EURAUD long?

Money Managent — Hi TA: First, I just want to take a breather and say thank you for sharing the Bat with all of us here on FF. Just for clarification, when you say that it is possible to open with 2 lots, this must mean that you are ...

Yes, that is the way I've been doing it. My question was what I if I placed 2 stop + TTO orders at the SAR point. Would one of the stop + TTO's simply cancel out the open order when triggered, or would the TTO portion of that order still be left as ...

Hi Justin: Quick question on order entry. If I have 1 lot open short, and want to execute a stop and reverse, can I place 2 STOP + TTO orders, so that one stop will close out the short and the other will open a new long, or will this create a ...

Hi TA: Can you clarify how you compensate for spread when placing orders off the bat lines. For example, right now on EURAUD, my red bat line is at 6715, the Alpari feed has a ask/bid of 6691/6676 and my ecn is showing 6687/6691. Where would you ...

Backtest Result from GBPUSD 2006 — Here is a complete manual backtest of 2006 for GBPUSD. For this test I used a 100 pip stop loss. On the GBPUSD, using 100% ATR would have kept you in a few more trades, but the trade off would have been much ...

On my charts with Alpari data neither has touched the opposite band yet, though USDCHF has come very close.

I was able to simply scroll back to 2005 using the hourly. Not sure about this, but try going to your TOOLS > OPTIONS > CHARTS and then increasing the MAX BARS IN HISTORY. Mine is set to 51200. Also, when using the dailies even with a larger stop, ...

Yes, in fact there were several weeks that were up 100+ pips in profit, only to be stopped out before Friday. I'll do a 2nd run with a 2 lot system, as well as finish the rest of 2005 later this week...

Backtest from Jan/Feb 2005 — I've just started to do a manual backtest for 2005 using Alpari hourly data and the original rules. So far I've completed Jan & Feb 2005, and have ended up with 43 trades, of which only 7 were profitable. In ...

OK, so the blue bat line has just appeared below the horizon @ 9546, which would work out to something like a near 175 pip stop from long entry @ 9728. Where are you placing your SAR?

Just had first EURAUD order triggered - Short @ 6803
- fxgorilla replied Feb 2, 2007
Whew! OK, so right now after NFP I'm GBPUSD long from 9728 with 2 lots and current stop at 9632, 10 below swing at 9642. Since there's no blue bat line below, does 9632 also become the reversal point to go short?

Just doing some backtesting on GBPUSD 2005 and have a question on re-entry. For example, using the original rules, let's say your long is triggered at +50, then you are stopped out and a short is triggered at weekly close, which is again stopped out ...

Hi TA: Can you explain where the 5356 is coming from in the calculations below?
- fxgorilla replied Jan 31, 2007
Hi TA: Just curious where you placed the swing low on the last long entry. 157 pips south seems a bit far away.
- fxgorilla replied Jan 26, 2007
Thanks TA! One other question - with regards to news. For example, right now with news coming out that could dramatically affect the cable, do you leave your limit orders in place, or cancel and replace once the whipsaw has settled.
