Hi Steve, As of now I don't believe I've been vouched for and even if I have I wouldn't bother cluttering your Beastie thread with this babbling. I just wanted tell you how well written your PDF was. I'm trying to absorb as much information as ...

I know that you're using EAs to avoid sitting at the computer for the entire day, just an interesting thing I've noticed based on visual back testing: If you just simply go long when the first 4H candle closes above both MAs (below for short) and ...

That's what I get from the post you linked me to as well. I'm eager to see what nanningbob says. EDIT: Mephisto, You make want to take a look at the attached file in here: url I'm thinking that the 2 MAs act as trend identifiers but entry is based ...

Just to verify that I'm not missing something.. If price is below both lines, turn on sell EA If price is above both lines, turn on buy EA Is that really all there is to it...? Excuse my newbishness. Just having a problem keeping track of all the ...

Perfect. Thank you, my good sir.

nanningbob, Are the entry rules for the 4H version the same as the rules for the 1H version? I noticed you did not include a manual in the 4H 1.2 zip folder.

Just realized that. Only probably is, I exit based on an indicator. More specifically, a custom MT4 indicator. Thanks though. Did not know I could do this! Do I download a differant version of MT4 to do this? Or just install it onto my USB stick ...

Compounding basically means, interest paid on interest. For example, if you borrow $1000 for a year at 5% interest, you end up paying more than $1050 because you'll be charged interest every month on the principal as well as on the interest you've ...

It all depends on the type of system. Depending on your rules for entry/exit and your trading style, having more losses than wins doesnt necessarily matter. What kind of system are you trading?

Obviously since this is 4H, you're running it 24/7 correct? I will start testing this on all pairs as of Monday. Also, are you using opposite bands as SL and TP?
- ItsMeTyler replied Jan 15, 2011
Other than the obvious more frequent trade set ups, is there any reason you're choosing not to use the 4H?

I've also been considering doing this. Once my position is up X amount of pips, open another position, and move the SL up for the original trade, Keeping the risk factor the same but doubling the possible for profit. Is that roughly what you mean?
- ItsMeTyler replied Jan 15, 2011
In referance to what you posted on the previous page about taking the profits you can get, I've noticed that alot of times I'll be up 20-30 pips, and then it'll end up hitting break even. I'm thinking about trying this with the default stop loss ...

I'm thinking I'm looking more into swing trading. I work some pretty weird hours and that makes it next to impossible for me to get more than an hour at a time in on the computer. So I'm looking to start trading a method that allows me to spend ...

Do the indicators only repaint over the course of the candle? Or over a few candles?
- ItsMeTyler replied Jan 14, 2011
Made a couple changes to the way I'm forward testing. As of Monday I'll be running all default settings except only on the majors and only between 1am-11am EST.
- ItsMeTyler replied Jan 13, 2011
Have you tried the system with default settings? Hourly, 6am-9am EST, 40 pip take profits? Unfortunately I work 12 hour days so I'm basically looking for a simple system that will allow me to grab some pips in the London or early NY sessions.

Are you setting your stop loss at the low of the entry candle? (for longs, obviously)
- ItsMeTyler replied Jan 13, 2011
Can anyone quickly answer this? Looking to foward test this system next week. Anybody trading this live?
