Remon78eg, thank you for so generously contributing. Your idea and sample software is great. I have one thought... does anyone know if there an indicator or script to work out the % retracement (because retracement is when we can 'cash out' on this ...

If you're in decent profit and get a reversal signal on your long basket then I think a hedge might be good. I don't propose letting your profit ebb away entirely, it's more a case of what the state of the market and profit/loss level of your basket ...

I am using the MPBM multi-purpose EA someone kindly posted a zillion pages ago to manage my first trade. It came with an excellent PDF instruction document.. unfortunately the How To document doesnt really match the EA params. It's confusing and I ...

This is a wonderful thread. Thanks for FxH for keeping it on topic and focused too, from this wonderfully simple concept there's many ways to trade it. I did have a basic question... is there is a simple indicator or tip to identify consolidation ...

You don't do things the easy way So, you work out what the average pip value is x 12 (in cash) and then when the _basket_ reaches that profit level you close the basket? You have very creative solutions. What are you finding is your average trade ...

Interesting work Fortiron. With unweighted lots did you find it took longer to close out in proft then balanced lots? Unweighted may have bigger drawdown implications too, did you see this as a big problem? Wow, excellent job doing some ...

How long have you been testing Fortiron? i wonder if this can be properly backtested?

I have traded baskets live before (with small lot sizes) but included JPY pairs with poor money management so my account took a hammering. Good entries are key as you want to see the pairs out of correlation (eg. if all three in the basket are ...

Fortiron, what do you do about lot sizing with your pairs? I assume you uses a basket like EURUSD GBPUSD EURGBP
- r2997790 replied May 11, 2012
Excellent. Thank you for sharing this. My first piece of advice is to avoid JPY pairs as the BOJ interventions can cause problems with these types of methods and/or delay closing the basket in my experience. As others have mentioned are you trying ...

Interesting. Thank you for sharing. So to confirm -- You have a basket of three correlated pairs? You have a fast and slow MA on each [what period setting do you use?] You wait till both MAs on each chart is moving in the same direction. Then take a ...

Ok, maybe I am being slow here... but with the hedge, one side has a fixed win (BOM: Lose $95, win $5) and the hedge has unlimited loss potential (correct)? So, if there IS a touch, you lose 95 one side, and need the Spot trade to move $95 (to win ...
- r2997790 replied May 3, 2012
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing this. Can you explain, by using an example, the hedge trade timing and outcome? For example: The BOM trade expires (24 hours later) and it loses, at what point do you hedge, and what stops both the BOM trade ...

Like some others this concept frustrates me as I _almost_ understand it, but when I trade it demo I've yet to master it. One thing that I don't understand someone could hopefully answer for me.. long AUDUSD 1 lot.. I understand the rollover is nice ...
