Hello Team Aphid,

I have a question for you. please review attached chart. I was trying to backtest your strategy all the way from 01/2004. now something interesting happend on 9th march 2004. there was a short trade entered.....then trade 2 and 3 were entered....then they all got stopped out....but the red line was still higher and never got breached. so i didnt enter a long trade...and i was stopped out from the short trade too. then the price began a lonnngggg trend on the short side.....so in cases like this would you recommend a short entry? or just stay out?

Hi zalakinc, sorry for the late reply, it's due to weekend. Anyway, there are two alternatives in this case. Either stay out and wait for next signal OR after you stopped out, you can start entering short again at the same fib levels by targeting original entry level for profit taking and enter 1 or 2 lots short at the original entry level not to miss any trade. We are using this strategy as it may be costly to miss a trend like this, because as you know, most of the pips are coming from trend following component of the system.

Check the level of BAT Line, and for buy orders, put a limit order 1 pip above the BAT line and for sell orders, put a limit order 1 pip below BAT line to make sure price hits the BAT line.

On buys, you need to put an order 1 pip + spread above the bat line. Otherwise you'll be entering below the bat line.

I'm sure this is a great system.

I traded it for a couple of weeks and it is a monster to manage- it requires constant attention.

I learned a good lesson from it. Do-ability is more important than profitability.

Good news is if she swims slow enough she should arrive in the southern hemisphere just in time for summer. To keep her mind occupied she can repeat the previous sentence as fast as possible

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to put on this indicator into MetaTrader. Im not familiar with metatrader as I use FXSol usually. Can anyone give me any pointers?

Thanks

go under metatrader folder, experts, indicators...and save it there....then restart metatrader...it should be under indicators...custom indicators....
