EDIT 21 JULY 2018
Post 1 updated with V4 of each EA. The modification made came from observing two events during the week.
On Monday EURNZD and GBPNZD were in UP trend at start of week. Monday evening the EA opened a buy for each.
Tuesday Morning some news on NZD brought a sharp reversal of magnitude proportion. The EA opened sells on each pair.
There was now one buy and one sell. We needed another signal to indicate the reversal was genuine and thereby add another sell.
The same thing happened thursday but with the USD. EURUSD was in DOWN trend so sell was opened. The President trump said dollar
was to strong and interest rates were not good. Ka boom market reversed with a humongous ginormous volume. A buy was opened.
Confirmation of the Trend reversal was needed to open another buy.
So i have written in a code that hopefully recognises such moves in the market and sends stops . This should help come out of DD quicker.

A lot of people saying LUCK.

personally i think a good trading system real money (no cent account) can be started with
no less than 4.000 eur. But this is my personal opin. Now with esma rules i think with 1.30 leverage
4.000 is no more sufficient. I had leverage 1.500 now 1.30. so i dont know what to do...
perhaps retire all and go home or... change the broker... dont know.

Testing going on fine for MonthlyPivot and SwingCatcher EA's. They have brought in profit for the week. DD never went more than $30.
I am not impressed with the amount of profit though. This is week 1 of testing.
I believe these EA's can stand test of time because they are opening positions based on Monthly pivots or BB20:1.

Below is attached the same EA's but with an additional filter. I have borrowed the Peaky on Steroids Filter from Stevehopwood site.
I will begin testing them two weeks from now. I will not load them to post 1 yet. If anyone is willing please begin testing and let us know
how it goes. The back test look good. Each currency pair has to have the EA on its chart

Let me mention recovery trades.
Recovery trades wait until the market has moved X pips distance from the last trade opened.
X is the distance between the Middle bollinger and the lower bollinger band. Bollinger Band 20: 1
This means distance X is now dynamic
but also takes into consideration that currency pairs volatility. Before i used to have a one size to fit all pairs. Total disaster.

Hi all,
here some fx analysis reports done by banks. attached below.Interesting reading.
What was of particular note to me is that banks use 25 day moving average.
Might change my 20 : 1 daily Bollinger band to 25:1

each trading system has its own rules, before apply others rules inside , it should be careful to check if it is fit for your original system.

True just because banks are using it does not mean I should jump in it without thinking it through as to how it fits in my system
