Hello friends,

I have finally been gotten around to backtesting this strategy...one problem I am having is the difference between gmt and EST time is not always 6 hours is it? I think day light savings time does change it by one hour? is that true?

Thanks.

Yes thats true.
To complicate it further, Europe and the UK don't go on DST the same time the US does.

to even complicate things further, I just realized that my demo account with MIG doesnt use GMT time...its something else. I will have to do some research i guess. I wish they would just let me change to EST.

None of them use GMT time except Interbank.

If this will help- as i write this it is 23:32 GMT. It is also 7:32PM EDT.

An interesting thing happened when checking the charts today, the long entry I mentioned last week now shows the sentinal NOT in agreement with the long entry. At the time it was close but definitely a long setup but it is now clearly below the line.......just something to be aware of.

Thanks Richo, keep us updated. I personally dont like to trade anything unless its been backtested by me. and i have the timezone issues, so i think when i have time i will just get 1 free month trial of tradestation and test it on that.

Hey guys, while manually backtesting...I realized on the sentinetal indicator, the moving average just stays 0 about 50 bars before current one.

OK so we didnt get a good result, a loss of 2 x 15 pips = 30 pip loss, what a drop and still going.
Unfortunately we dont have a short entry so we wait some more

Hello Kevin, very interesting system. I was in London in 2005 with Rob booker. I would like to write you a private message about the system and some misunderstandings. Perhaps you can answer me some questions !! Thank you very much , kind regards Roger

Well I think I made a mistake on that first call for June I forgot to take the 1st lot off at +50 and move the last to BE, so that result is +50 not -30.
Now we are in the 2nd trade for the month and have closed out 1st half at +50 and moved to BE on last which is +199 at the end of the week
Anyone still follow this system?...I havent heard from Kevin in a while

Well the July NFP is on Friday, Wednesday now, and we have had an exceptional run up .
We have had 2 closed for a total of +100 and one is still open and is currently at +411 as I type this. I will leave it open til 0.00am Friday and close it then
So this month should make up for the loss in May and some
Lets see how July goes
