Here is another example where the PSar would have saved me a big loss. The USDJPY took several Long entries as it did meet the EA criteria however the PSar was definitely in a Short mode. I actually had SL's hit on these Long trades however if I had taken a short trade when the PSar changed to short (see the red vertical line), I would be banking about 580 pips right now. Using the PSar, you could decide to turn off the EA during these possible reversals. Again, just food for thought. DR {image}
Just keep in mind that Captain Hindsight is always right...

I've read a lot of would have / could have / should haves in your most recent posts. If you can successfully trade BEFORE HAND it would be a lot more credible.

Sorry if I offended you. I simply did exactly what you requested. I took one of the demos and showed exactly what the trades would have been. NO hindsight. No subjective analysis. The trades I showed would be the same in forward live testing or backward analysis as the entry and exit is definitive and conclusive.

Again, no insult intended and non taken. I have been in this business way too long to be offended. Markets change and I believe one should be constantly analyzing any process one uses. Even the Holy Grail, if that is what you believe you have. Is it good. Yes. In fact I really like it. Is it perfect? I don't think so.

To put it simply, I would continue to trade your system without changes until I could ensure myself that any additions or changes improved the overall result but I will continue working on it.

Best Regards

DR

100pips, Khaled, Lady Claudia and Erebus and all those who are making loads of pips using this system (which includes me)one question why don't you add some fancy indicators to this system so that we can just all think we are are getting closer to holy grail and our screens would look cool too. Anyway coming back to point I am just joking :-D. Have a great Sunday. :-)

I'm going to make a prediction here. All of these people making all this noise about the sins of testing this system with other indicators and settings because it works so perfectly as-is will within six months from now also be looking to make tweaks because they will have found out by then that it does not work perfectly in all markets. Just wait and see.

Scott,

Certainly I can see that as certain currencies move into consolidation mode, they will be traded less. Current examples would be EUR/CHF and EUR/GBP. As this occurs, other currencies will no doubt trend again, or will undergo volatility.

AUD/NZD has its moments and has been on a rather steady trend run even though the daily ATR is less than stellar. USD/CAD is in a 400pip range and is still not one of the pairs I trade.

With the rather extensive trend runs in play at the moment it would be no surprise if EUR/AUD, etc do take a breather. Also with the BOJ interventions, once they relax their policies you may well see USD/JPY return to its rather narrow range of mid 2012.

Time will tell, although adding indicators may not be the answer - I have yet to see an indicator that will produce results in a tightly ranging market - only Price Action and Supply & Demand will be of any use.

The market will always be dynamic and those who succeed will adapt to the prevailing conditions.

Happy pip hunting

Hi Scott

What you say is right this will have good times and bad times but to me the secret of success long term is not adding indicators and dashboards or whatever it's all down to money management. Have a good week.

Exactly the market will always do basically two things, trend or range. Its human nature to put your own spin on things but instead of tinkering with bits and pieces the answer has been given many times already, if you don't like whats going on switch EA off.

Cheers 100 pips a simply great method.

Hi, its time for a small interim report. As i wrote i started the EA in two MT4s, at Thursday in the middle of the day. One MT4 with Delay 6 the other with Delay 12. Each on 20 pairs and TP SL from the Post 204. At Friday noon Delay 6 had 13 open trades and 1150 Pips plus and Delay 12, 14 open and 1370 pips plus. The peak was in the afternoon with 1300 and 1600 pips plus. At the end of the day, now after Friday closing.. Delay 6 has 38 open trades and is 50 pips in minus Delay 12 has 29 open trades and is 165 pips in plus. I think i will disable...
Hi Toranaga,
You have identified a great thing - the Delay Hour. Lets see for few months which one works best - 4 or 6 or 8 or 12 . .. . . ..

Regards.

Watching the Return per Pair in the Trade Report from the first Page

It seems the only 2 nice performing € Pairs are Eur/Aud and Eur/Nzd (what is nearly the same)
and maybe Eur/Cad if we look at the opened trades and outstanding pips at the moment.

Whats your opinion? Is it so that the € Pairs arent so well performing with this strategy or is is only a
shifted picture after only 5 weeks ea testing and trading this strategy manually could give the same good results with the € pairs also.

Asking that because trying to reduce the Pairs for my manual following..

Edit: he he, watched at 100pipsaday explored, now at khaleds explorer different picture again.
Have to wait some time for better data i think..

It is still early in the forward testing stages but each pair should be evaluated every 3 months.

AUD/JPY, EUR/AUD, and GBP/AUD will probably perform the best out of any and all pairs due to the way they trend...

You need to have two red down arrows for SELL trades.

You need to have two green up arrows for BUY trades.

Anything else and it means that trade criteria is not being met.

I could put the link here, but if you cannot find it, then you really have a problem

And IF you really do have a problem, we are willing to help

BUT basic information is required, there is no mention of what platform you are using Paul72

You could be putting this file into Ninja Trader for all we know

It is like calling a doctor on the phone and telling him you don't feel well, what should I do?

Hi Folks !

Hope you're doing well ;-))

I have reduced the number of pairs to 10 and avoid to trade
groups that are heading in the same direction due to smooth the volatility of my portfolio.

After forward testing for some time I will throw in 5000 USD to let the servant taste the real world....

Cheers
