NFP System - Backtest data provided

Here is the GBP/USD one with 6pct risk of equity MM.
Maximum DD is 30 %.
Starting equity 10.000.
End equity after 7 years is 80.000 which equals to a yearly compounding rate of little over 30 %.
If I reduce the spread to 4 instead of 8, the ending equity is 130.000.

I think I am going to add MM based on volatility, as the movements gets erratic as of mid 2008

Ever just used the Sentinel indi?

That's why I came to this thread in the first place. It used an idea that I had, but my indicator didn't update correctly. Kevin made a version that does update correctly. So even if not used for this strategy, that indicator is a custom USD index (since you only trade the pairs that have 1.0 in inputs, and if you make a pair 0 in inputs, it's gains are not being tracked, so don't trade it).

This means when Sentinel is going up, simultaneously sell EURUSD,GBPUSD,AUDUSD, and buy USDCHF,USDCAD,USDJPY (assuming all are set to 1 in inputs). When Sentinel is going down, simultaneously buy EURUSD,GBPUSD,AUDUSD, and sell USDCHF,USDCAD,USDJPY (assuming all are set to 1 in inputs).

Draw trendlines and horizontal support and resistance lines on the Sentinel, and trade it that way.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi Disbellj,

how would you determine if the sentinel goes up ?
- Sentinel crossing MA
- short MA crosses long MA
- MACD cross

Well, right now I'm trying to add 3LZZ Semafors indicator to the Sentinel, and trade all 6 currencies like I trade one with the Semafors. Until then, I draw trendlines like taught here:

...along with horizontal support and resistance (where the Semafors would be if they were on the Sentinel).

Spot FX brokers do not like news traders and consider them "toxic" because they use some sort of arbitrage in pricing between the feeds.
what do you guys think of it?. I have a friend who consistently win with nes release and they cancel all of his winnings from news releases
