Any news about 5 pips eagle system ?
Hi everyone,

Because I had a feeling that this system could work and no one came up with a decent EA, I decided to back-test this strategy by hand.

I tested the pairs, EUR/USD, USD/JPY, AUD/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, EUR/JPY, EUR/CHF, USD/CHF, GBP/JPY and GBP/CHF.

I only tested the first trade of each day and compared 3 Stop Loss placement strategy:
1. 15 pips away from entry;
2. Outside the Box (If long 1 pip below low of box, If short 1 pip above high of box);
3. Above or below High/Low of previous candle.

The results were quite good but far from spectacular. So I decided to filter the trades.

For each pair, on the Daily and Weekly charts I plotted a 200 period Exponential Moving Average.
The filter was as follows:
- Only took Long trades: when price was above the 200 EMA on both charts;
- Only took Short trades: when price was below the 200 EMA on both charts;
- Long and Short trades were taken when price was above the 200 EMA on on chart and below on the other.

The improvement was spectacular, there was an overall improvement of about 51%.

Included is a word doc. with the results.

Comments would be much appreciated!
