Artmon, don't you just love these triple digit pips?
Some of the "better" pairs have triple digit gains with very little "work". Hopefully, after my little test, we can see which currencies are worth trading and which are worth discarding.

G'day all,

The results for week 1 for both methods are below. While the TP levels will differ for both methods, where 1 method exited via a trailing stop I exited both.

Week 2

Fozzy EA
GBPJPY Long: +103
NZDUSD Short: -76
EURJPY Long: +127
GBPCHF Long: +105
USDCHF Long: -134
USDJPY Long: -112
USDCAD Long: 0
EURAUD Short: +40
CHFJPY Short: -74
EURGBP Short: +52 (both lots still open)
TOTAL: +21 pips

Fozzy Original
GBPJPYLong: +101
NZDUSD Short: -76
EURJPY Long: +107

USDCHF Long: -180
USDJPY Long: -166
USDCAD Long: +69 (TP1 taken & 1 lot still open)
EURAUD Short: -166
CHFJPY Short: -98
EURGBP Short: +52 (TP1 of original method taken & 1 lot still open)
TOTAL: -212 pips

Not a good followup to the first week, but there's a few things we can take out of this. Firstly, it would appear that the ATR stop loss method dramatically reduces your losses, when compared to the original method. There hasn't yet been a trade where the EA SL was hit but not the orignal method SL, so from this point on I will use the ATR SL method for both. The only difference between the 2 methods will be the TP's.

Secondly, it also appears that booking some profits early (in this case 40 pips) and moving SL to BE, we avoid the occassions where the price does not reach our fib TP level and then reverses.

And, finally, some of the more obscure pairs do not seem to respond well with this system. That's an easy fix. We just dump them from our list of pairs to watch. However, for the duration of the forward test I will keep them just to show that they do not work.

Cheers,

G'day all,

No new trades today so I thought I'd take this opportunity to reiterate the 2 methods I have going:

1. Fozzy EA
2. Fozzy with fib TP's

For both these systems I will let the EA initiate the trade, I will use the SL calculated by the EA as the SL for both. However, I will introduce 3 TP levels instead of the 2 currently used by the EA. That means 3 lot positions instead of 2. TP's will be at 40 pips, 80 pips and 130 pips. Trailing stop will remain as is. TP's for system 2 will be governed by the Vegas daily fib levels.

Cheers,
Art...

Hmmm...maybe 3 lots wasn't such a good idea as no trade has yet to hit the 2nd TP, let alone the 3rd. Alternatively, maybe we need a larger trailing stop than 25 pips. I might experiment with this next week.

I am closing all open positions now as I will be away until Tuesday.

Cheers,
