Trade management was key this week. Could have lost tons but was able to still make a profit.

{quote} Ace's core system as it is in the original post would have destroyed anyone's account who would have been using this system in the years of 2000-2006. For those years, the first 4H bar sets the average of the weekly price, not the high or low. it wasn't until mid/end of week that the prices started moving in one direction or another. Is Ace's system good? Definitely, no questions asked, Could it be improved? Definitely, No questions asked. My revision on this system is expected to have an approximate 4% drawdown which it is currently 8%...
Then, what about Danno's results that improved the results of Ace's system?

I am in the process of developing an EA, indicator and backtest that takes into account all the different ways people on this forum have mentioned that they trade this system. I have been trading this system for some time now and it has been profitable for me. I trade it on the 4h and 1h but have been looking into the 1D and 1W, but will have to do some backtesting to see what type of results I get on the higher timeframes. I should be able to start generating backtests with multiple variables witin 2 weeks.

What you need to look for is genuine consolidation within the allotted time that you are dedicating to the charts. We all know what happens after the market finishes coiling and squishing together like a spring.

This strategy works. Don't make it complicated. Follow the rules exactly as they are set.
To make it work even better, do your analysis so you know where the market is heading. Then you can setup for only one side breakout instead of 2.
Look at my results for the last 1.5 months of trading. Demo.

{quote} The EA inputs are: Risk per trade: % of balance for each trade (buy and sell); Orders price offset in pips: buffer from Hi and Low of the 4H candle; TP: take profit intended as how many times the 4H candle (example: if the 4H candle's body is 50pips and TP is set to 2, the TP will be 100pips). The EA automatically add the spread to the buffer. There isn't any setting about time zone or GMT because MT5 demo server is at the right time zone as described on first post and the EA is just for backtesting purpose. This is a very first version...
Hi alexdepa

kindly Create a MA or Indicator on basis of below rules.

1. BOX Set up remain same
2. But Trade entry should be on Basis of Guppy GMMA
(if fast Exponential Moving averages (5,7,10,12,15,18) crosses slow EMA (30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60) upward we will take buy trade when box upper limit breakout. will ignore the sell trade if box lower limit breakout. Sell Trade is vice versa)
or if EMA 30 is above EMA 60 we will only take buy trade, if EMA 30 is below EMA 60 we will take only sell trade.

Yes some 4 hr boxes are better than others. Depends on the pair and how much you are aiming for in pips and what you do when you are wrong
