Caillou,

What do you mean by "Just". You mean wait for the first pullback?

I mean taking crosses and pullbacks or just pullbacks......I have made a quick visual backtest, sometimes you missed some initial good moves but sometimes taking only pullbacks makes you avoid a lot of losses due to ranging periods.

As always, not easy to say what is the best.

Do you have any conclusion about this?

Thank you

Cheers

Yeah I agree. I've definitely held off on entries on some of the ranging pairs until a pullback confirmation. NzdChf is a good example.

On others, like when I got stopped out of the E/J and G/J a couple of weeks ago, I got right back in at the earliest signal.

So, as with most things, you definitely have to use some discretion.

Hi Spyderman

Thanks for your generosity on sharing this simple powerful idea, I hope it continues with lots of other trends.

Just set up a demo and got everything ready to go, probably going to kick of just as the trends change ! Anyhow its long term and we need to jive the system some stress and look at the outcomes.

Can I ask are you able to share the MA trailing stop ?

May the trends never stop

Thanks

Hi Spiderman,

This chart is from AUDCAD Daily, it seems that you dont trade this pair? Could you please confirm that a short has been triggered?

Thank you for sharing a very nice strategy...

If you were trading strictly off of the cross then yes. Some are waiting for the first pullback/continuation to enter, especially on pairs that are coming out of a ranging area.

No, I don't currently have A/C on my radar. It was pretty choppy back in November when I started this and really not setup to trade. I've put it back on my platform but not taking anything on it yet.

Hi Spiderman,
This is from you froma previous post.. : As far as the close...you can see in the attached chart, I use an ea that trails my stop in relation to the 22 MA. Here on Eur/Gbp I have it set to trail the MA by 15 pips. The 22 MA right now is at .8411. The trailing stop is at .8396. As price moves up the stop will too. If price moves against me then it will close the trades.

Is this the way you still make on open trades? I read that you got SL out on GJ and another pair... wondering if you modified the way to put SL since that day.

Thanks for you help again Spiderman,

Mfinab,

Actually at that time I was using a 300 pips trailing stop. That's what took me out of G/J and E/J. Since then I've switched to the trailing MA. Had I been using it at that time the E/J would not have closed. The G/J would have.

I can't suggest anything because I don't trade that low of TF with this. I just don't think you're going to get the trends. Too choppy.
If you can't invest in daily charts, try finding a broker with a micro account that lets you trade $100 positions. At 100:1 leverage you'd only be putting up a dollar for each one.
