DislikedI found it quite hard to read your chart.
It does take a bit of patience and practice to get the hang of this system and nothing beats watching it in real time and demo trading.
Here is my chart of the current BAT trade on GBPUSD on ALPARI data.
See how the blue line waits an hour before it starts to form?Ignored
DislikedI'm on IBFX also, and my blue bat line is @ 1.9607. using the settings per the instructions.
TA says Alpari shows 1.9576.
We're going to quite different entry and exit points, it seems.
Or would it be beneficial to open a demo with Alpari and trade from that?Ignored
DislikedI just set everything up on the Alpari demo server. The Alpari chart is showing the blue bat line @ 1.9605- only a one pip difference from IBFX.
I'm on the GPBUSD 1 HOUR chart... ATR=5, Factor= 4.0.
What have I done wrong?Ignored
DislikedFF resized it. here is the full picture: http://piccolo.burti.lv/journal_img/...sentiment6.gif
I know it is wrong as the SL would have been too big.Ignored
DislikedThanks TA for the reply,
The re-entry idea sounds interesting, it could blow a massive hole in your pipbank if it then fails again though. An example on the 21/12/2006 would have resulted in an approx. 328 pip loss, plus losing 18pips X no. lots we re-entered with, before receiving an opposite entry signal. This is perhaps a bad time of the year to be looking at. And I guess also that it is a small loss compared to the massive gain we would get by being in that long trade you posted.The re entry is just an idea we have been tossing around for a while...this situation does not occur that often therefore we had not formalised a rule. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Please don't think I'm criticizing BAT at all, I think it looks great.Ignored
DislikedTA, thank you so much for your time and efforts in this thread, much appreciated!
IBFX feed here also as they are GMT 00:00 and i like that as i'm at the charts at London Open ...and it lines up with 08:00 on the charts : ) and trading off the FXSolutions trade station as my accounts are w/them.
In the long run i would not think the few pips would matter.

DislikedTrading on another platform really is fine it ...is just that when ppl are trying to match their trades and entries with ours that they must realise this is impossible if they are on a different data feed.
btw
Thank you Thom!!!Ignored
DislikedBTW, is anyone in the last long entry?
I really want to stick to the pure system, but my feeling is the bulls are running out of steam, and want to put on a tp. Maybe its just my emotions playing with me again.
Whats the general concensus? TA?Ignored
DislikedI have just tested this using 3 Lots bought/sold at the Bat Line rather than adding them with any Fib Retracement and took profits at the 161, 216 and as Aphid does at the next Bat Fly-By.
Results for Feb +756pips ( am I wrong? )
Results for March 06 were a staggering 1441pips ( please check ) The Bat results by comparison were +482 ( please double check )
Also if the price retraced back to the original buy/sell after making it to the 161 the lots were closed out without taking a loss. If they did not make the 161 then a loss was booked as per Ahpids intial posts.
Hi Aphid did you ever test this way? If so did it not work out long term?
Am I just doing it wrong?Ignored

DislikedI just did April 06 now and reckon I come up 439 pips for the 3 lot buy/sell and +270pips for the Pure Bat. Am I close to the mark Aphid with your actual results for March and April? And if anyone is checking my effort, am I wrong?
It really catches the big runs, would I have the staying power to hang on? Based on my past efforts, I would say definately not. I would have been so excited to see 50pips I would have bailed.Ignored
