G'day all,

Last week got back on track with a total for the week of +202 pips.

I will be away for the next 3 weeks so I won't be trading.

Cheers,

G'day all,

I'll be running the forward test on all the pairs available to me through the MetaTrader demo account - 15 currency pairs. I'll let the EA signal the trades and then I'll manually adjust the SL/TP's for the non-EA test. The original Fozzy method will use the Vegas fibs as TP's.

The following trades were signalled today:

Fozzy EA
AUDUSD Long @ 0.7699
SL @ 0.7662
TP1 @ 0.7702
TP2 @ 0.7829

USDJPY Short @ 117.83
SL @ 118.39
TP1 @ 117.43
TP2 @ 116.53

Fozzy Original
AUSUSD Long @ 0.7699

TP2 @ 0.7780

USDJPY Short @ 117.83

G'day all,

The following trade was triggered:

Fozzy EA
EURUSD Long @ 1.2849
SL @ 1.2802
TP1 @ 1.2889
TP2 @ 1.2979

Fozzy Original
EURUSD Long @ 1.2849
SL @ 1.2795
TP1 @ 1.2895
TP2 @ 1.2975

On closer inspection you can see the BB's tightening in anticipation of a breakout. If you zoom the chart out you'll notice that at it's current level the breakout will be to the downside. In anticipation of this, I will exit ALL positions should the price my TP1 of 1.2895.

I decided to exit at 1.2892 as I'm not confident of this trade going much further.

USDJPY hit TP2 and was closed for both methods.

AUDUSD was stagnating and the fact that it's at high level for the aussie I decided to close out the remaining trade at 0.7735.

Summary:
Fozzy EA - USDJPY: 39 + 130 = +169 pips
Fozzy EA - AUDUSD: 40 + 36 = +76 pips

USDCAD Short @1.1421
SL @ 1.1492 (H of 2 bars ago)
TP1 @ 1.1355

Both these trades are above the Vegas tunnel. When the prices are like this I prefer to exit ALL positions as they approach the tunnel, that is, at TP1 of the original method. I will do that here also.

Although the predicted breakout happened, it would've been in my favour (price is currently @ 1.3064 - highest since April 2005). But, you have to have a plan in place for such events. You win some, you lose some.

G'day Cool,

art are you trading fozzy now? you seem to have started the journal with sidus ... or do you have both systems?
In post #82 I explained what I will be testing. Basically, I'm testing both the Fozzy EA and the Fozzy Original with fib TP's.

I have stopped testing the Bago method because I can no longer watch the charts every hour.

Also, I just kept the same thread going as it really is just a continuation of my trading journey.
