DislikedMy swing setup has worked itself out of trouble. However, I got myself a new phone and could not remember the password to this particular account so went into my broker profile and changed it to allow access on the mobile. Of course I forgot to change it in the actual platform so no trades were being opened / closed until I realised what I had done this morning. Still pretty good result for the week regardless. {image}Ignored
Hi Everyone,
Swing trades below but not working to well at present. Wed-Thurs saw 3 baskets closed, 1 profit and two in loss. Need to play with SL settings and may have had them a little low, only had $125, might need to give it a bit more room to breathe. Maybe ATR SL per pair might be the way to go. More testing required I think.
Thur-Current, Down in the red again but has had its ups and downs. Doesn't seem to be a lot of movement at present but will see what tonight brings.
Will load up some lower time frame scalping tests over the weekend ready for next week.
Thanks, Matt.

{quote} Thanks good idea will try this also for next week's trials
UPDATE: the Swing(2,2,24) test has just terminated on the EL (22:20 Syd Time)
see how it makes quick runs into the green, just the sort of behavior that is good for scalping, compared with today's Swing (2,2,48), which is all red so far:

I had a user error on my testing today, I forgot to turn on the 24 hour session, so no new trades were made through the NY session giving false results. So I closed them down manually, here is what I have, although cannot read much into them.
PS: I'll correct this next week by having my Tokyo, London and NY sessions all open automatically, then if I forget to turn on 24hour session only a few hours will be disabled.

My SWGex no addons setup has worked itself out of trouble and then some. Actually amazed at how well this works given the repaints.
It's been closing trades in profit on opposite direction for most of the week. Currently in some DD but nothing outrageous and still well up for the week.
If Gene's latest iteration is better than this setup then I think we should all be happy.
Will set that up next week once the market is open.

{quote} Hi Pip Poppy, Very nice results and I see you are on a Live account ..... nice work. Mine hasn't been fearing so well but I have a feeling I have been running my total basket SL to tight. Mine was set to $125 and then $150 for 0.10Lot but I see you are running $400+ for 0.05Lot and recovered more than nicely so I think ill trying giving it a bit more breathing room. Matt.
The screenshot shows a live account but it is actually a non-expiring demo - I'll go live when the time is right.
For that setup I actually use 250 / 500 TP / SL however I activated the buttons after the DB started taking trades, hence the odd figures.
$150 for a 0.1 setup is way too tight and is likely to get hit very early on. You need to give your trades room to breathe, especially the Swing setup as it can take some time for the price to turn after a signal.
I have manually closed all trades and have now setup the latest Cycle TS 0.05 lotsize, no addons.
Attached are the SWGex setup stats - a lot of those 'losses' were trades that I closed down this morning that were in open DD.
