{quote} If you were looking to add an ma, then have a look at using what is quite possibly the best box-breakout method out there, Claudia's or DZ get a bye, lol. Since beginning of April. {image} {image} {image} It looks like it may have missed some, got some and did it keep you out of enough bad trades to make it worthwhile? You'd need to check. However, if it does look like it works - and you'd have to assume that the author - forexhard - would have considered an ma as an option (tbh I can't remember, it's been a while since I read the thread)...
Well put together Lem, you are a good heart and like others here a true Gent. The knowledge here and lesson's of how to look at the market are Gold Nuggets to learn from, not only showing the way but also how to. Just had to say.

T 08-40
Cable, 00-00 break. I have 2 counters running, currently minus 15 ( forget the 17 range).
08-00 15 minute range break, low broke for 5%. Trades kept separate.
hopefully get the news out of the way and we can trade looking for the adr off the 00-00 range.
Trade well.

Hi all,

Just an idea, trade half of your usual lot on Fridays and NFP/FOMC days.
Buy low, sell high.

Good input.
Sometimes, I trade half a lot on normal break and the other half off a retrace trade. ( sometimes it does not retrace though).

Definately, I did post earlier about 00. I think on FF.
But it will move one way or the other and in the future it will be just another candle/s...

EA - here's summary for the week on AJ which is where it all started six months back. The spread sheet might take some figuring out as I created it.

No trades (NT) happen if the min/max of range are acceptable but it continues to trade within the range.

Wednesday would have been + 15 but min range was set at 10 so NT.

Settings shown are for next week and have been adjusted based on this weeks results. These settings would have produced + 38.5.

So, concentrating just on AJ again having come full circle. It's the only one consistently profitable - but settings need changing daily/weekly. Back to stats.

This will all be automated and I'm 90% there with specification. New programmer is waiting in the side lines.

Thanks for your detailed insights, Claudia. I have always thought that specialization might smooth out the DD phases long term. We already see that in manual daytrading. However, what happened to the mailman (EG)?

Update on server: still not ready. Some updates running overnight, but could take more time. My IT skills are limited. Will get there somehow ...
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Hm, remember some problems where the MT4 on the server did not take the trade. Do you think running lappy overnight is enough? It worked on demo when I ran it several months ago, so why not. If the server fails I might just save cost lol Do you still skip monday and start tuesday to friday?

Yep that's usually down to spreads being high.

Should be fine on laptop. I ran it on pc overnight for months.

I wish I was clever like you young peeps.
But I have just managed to clean my old laptop that was running slowly and presenting black screens when entering searches etc. Found a section on my laptop to re-install Windows and bit the bullet and pressed the button. A day later I have a clean PC that runs smoothly. This is now my dedicated trade machine. My IMac is for arty things etc. For new guys just off demo maybe the Micro Futures via the likes of AMP Futures ( Europe) and MT5 would serve to get their feet wet. Volume was good on them for a new product:
Re the Pc - Mrs T is impressed - and I am amazed at my minor accomplishment with my role in the Pc's resurrection !!
No trading today and -it's raining so no T jobs in the garden

( IG -Web- works okay on IMac for spread-betting albeit it grumbles about "Load" now and again )

Enjoy your weekend
