The Koala had a W O N D E R F U L week
i hope all have gained quite a number of pips.
All the circle areas are signals that garnered at least 100 pips or so if you had proper stop loses and trailing stop loses.
The smiley signal was the best ! Woah
However, my observations remain that during quick moving markets like this week, it is important to check the M5 for sharp movements that are retracing.
We do not want to enter at extremes.
Do rate my humble thread if you like the system.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post. I will try my very best to help!
If you have constructive criticisms, you are most welcome too
I hope next week will be an even better one.
Cheers ~ ~
p/s the extra MA is an EMA. i am trying out as suggested by folks how the 200 EMA will help thanks for suggestions. you know who u r !

This week presented with a few small opportunities and 2 major ones.
Folks who grabbed the major ones, i am sure you are partying right?
2 observations, the 200EMA seems to affect the PA at times. Take a close look. It did function as a S / R at times and the closing for the week was right around there.
Thanks for this wonderful suggestion. You know who you are
The next observation i made was trades taken when Koala is diverging may end up a losing one as a retracement may come.
Right now, a perfect parallel Koala seems like the best chance.
Have not been hearing from the regular folks. Are you all still around?
Hope to hear from more folks.
Cheers.

There was 1 good trade this week identified by the Koala.
That trade ( circled ) below will result in at least 100 pips gain
Did you catch it?
On a side note, i noticed that pivots are rather predictive sometimes. Look at the last day on my chart and how it plays with the pivot...
Furthermore, i find m30 increasingly lagged. May go back to M15 roots. Will research on this the coming week.
Have not been hearing much these days. Regulars are you still around

Okay, I think it's time you stepped it up a notch and begin to track some entry/exits.
Just for the sake of evaluating the method. Of course everyone's mileage will vary,
but just to get an idea what it's worth. When looking at in black and white,
over a nice stretch of time, I think such a compilation will have value.
This is especially true for those who might take one look at 3 moving averages
and a picture of a koala bear and go,"..hey, I don't do MA's..no thanks".
Even I'm not a big fan of MA's in and of themselves. However, the way your method is constructed
and if you spend some time with it, it can be and does have value because
I've seen it work.
It's up to each operator how to implement the strategy. Everyone will get different results I'm sure.
But back to results. Again, I'm just suggesting compiling some data on how the strategy performed over time.
I'd volunteer, but my time is rather limited lately and such tasks tend to
cut into my beer drinking and screwing around time at FF.
