DislikedStrategies can be improved so I modified the strategy in post #40 as follows: 1. I will not initiate a buy until the halftrend indicator produces an arrow and/or the FxBay MACD histogram is above the zero line. {file} {image}Ignored
I actually applied the template live today on EURUSD 2.5 bricks but found out that the half trend was horribly repainting.
The remedy was simply to use the regular half trend indicator but reduced to 1 instead of 2.
What I found was that everytime the MA 3 crosses 4, there's a close above or below the half trend sometimes the bars breach the half trend.
I had been working on the lower brick size approach before now so I applied a filter that I found so reliable, the OBO Trend bars and they smoothed out "fakeys" a bit.
It's not entirely loss free but it's the ideal for small brick size, if your daily target is 10 pips you only need to capture 4 bricks net of commissions.
My current template is more conservative ( filtering with default MACD settings) but not completely loss free. Losses should not exceed 7.5 pips that is 3 bricks which is a lot less than 30 if you trade with 10 pips
Let it turn and find your entry.
