{quote} Thank you for sharing One question: What do you mean with "Keltner Channels 30 : 1.5 : Exponential"? I think Keltner Channel with period 30 and k value of 1.5 right? And expotential MA mode. Can you recomment or even share a MT4 Keltner Channel indicator with this input possibillities? Because in the one I have I can only change the period. Thank you

here you go. you can set it close to Jenx BB settings, or whatever you prefer.

In my opinion, due to the spread, even in a small spread pair UJ, TP should be not more than 5 pips in order to get a consistent positive result in 1 min TF.

{quote} Nice,Thanks. Just placed Keltner(30) over my template and seems to provide a nice filter for when price rides the bands and confirms the one time bounces also. However,it does just strike me as not much different to adding high/low ma's to the bb ma. As I'm a slightly aggressive trader, I tend to look for good value entries outside the bands. Of course, theres no wrong or right way. Very interesting.Cheers
Ignored
I use the Keltner to find the meat in the middle and wait for the market to bite at it. It's just a visual aid. More trades; less profit. Waiting for re-entry reduces the risk of buying into a runaway down-swing(or it's equally dastardly sell/up-swing twin). I think it allows me to use more leverage than I would otherwise. I don't do too well if I risk 50+% on just the BB. I don't really use stoplosses because of the win-rate. I basically sacrifice all that extra room that would be between the Keltner and the BB as a way to offset buying into a bad swing that's really a surprise breakout/reversal. The longer it stays outside the Keltner without re-entry(with the obvious exception of false spikes); the safer it is when it finally comes in. The market can do what it wants everywhere else but the channel is my safe-space.

I coded an EA with the current rules, and it's certainly not profitable. One problem is that waterfalls in the adverse direction will kill any profit. Setting a stop-loss don't help either. So if you're profitable in the long run, please share the additional rules based on "psychology".

I donīt understand why people come hear, arenīt willing or arenīt able (I donīt know maybe both?) and than asking such questions and bother threat starter to proove something. I really dont understand.

1. Jenx wrote a view times, that he not trades all signals, but filters trades with support and resistance and PA (He also mentioned which method he uses to find supp and demand) - thanks therefore Jenx! It helped me a lot to find better resistance and supports areas!

2. No strategy can be traded mechanically without eyes and brain and than be longterm profitable! No system.

Sorry, but please read the threat. And have a little bit of decency.

As I said from the beginning, I don't believe any EA has ever been profitable in the long run.
Like I say, its all about subjectivity and discretion. Not buying into resistance , overbought conditions, news etc.
It's about cherry picking the trades.
Yesterday I had 5 trades, today 2.
Sure, there have been dozens of opportunities but I chose the ones I was happy with.
If I make 15 pips in a day, that's fine. If I make 50, better.
If I want to go into the hills walking for the day, I won't trade at all.
Greed will kill an account every time.
This strategy allows trading in conditions exactly the OPPOSITE to which you are creating with your EA.
That's almost my point.
Cheers

For example, I have a small personal rule.
I never take 2 consecutive trade opportunities.
No reason why not, and more often than not the second would be just as profitable, if not more so, than the first.
But it just stops me over trading. More often than not, if I take 12/15 pips , I'll go off and do something else for that session.
That's just my particular "rule of thumb"
There's no right or wrong way. Just whatever suits your personality and lifestyle.
Good luck everyone and remember there's more to life than forex.

I doubt you'll get a reply as I have "ignored" him, which I think prevents him/her from commenting.
I did ask them politely earlier in the thread, but as they say "Haters will be haters"

Not entirely true. There is one system that I've come across that could be coded into an EA and is long-term profitable. Took me a little while to figure out what it's edge was(so that I could utilize it to improve my own system) and the strategy is sound... it actually accounts very well for that 'holy-grail' people can't seem to find. Is it perfect all the time? No... but it does have positive expectancy.

That's precisely why I won't share it.

Jenx , first of all congratulations for your simple , clear and profitable system.

EAs are the ruin of a trading system.
It's the same old story : a guy post a system that work well , obviously in manual .
The rules are clear and simple and the system, usually, is profitable.
At that time comes someone who says: " Hey bro ! This is a nice system, why do not we make an EA ? "
Here is the beginning of the end : the EA works sometimes yes and sometimes not , then guys change the rules which are no longer neither clear nor simple.
All give advices : maximum confusion.
The spirit of original - manual - system is lost .
End of the story.
Moral : Manual strategy with strict respect for the rules : all OK. Manual strategy transformed into EA : all KO.

The dreams of riches grow stale and kill a traders account(that mentality obscures the reasoning necessary to become profitable). I'm here for the same reason someone joins a bowling league or a book club; I enjoy playing the game and I enjoy the discussions.

If you knew how to cheat... why wouldn't you just play the game for the joy of playing it?
