EDIT) My hat is off to Nicotina for coming up with this strategy. I don't want to make it sound like the system will fail. It could go on for quite some time. But then again, it could go sour any day. All I am saying is, I don't see a logical reason for it to continue working.

I would like to see your backtest from 2001 to 2006.

There is a logical reason for it to continue to work. The first hour after opening in Tokyo, London and NY tend to provide the best liquidity of the day and that is when most heavyweight players try to position their way without having much difficulty for the day. One rule of thumb is when Yen jumps at Tokyo open the chances are it will continue throughout the day and a few more days.

One hour from the Tokyo open, are the times where most liquidity of the market exist. And that is where market makers are busy setting the trend for the session or even the day. Most of the session or daily moves are started either in London open or Tokyo open or NY open. Especially London Open. Other markets are too thin for any good sized traders to make their market views felt.

Hello Again:

Just a quick question regarding the "Set and Forget" function in your EA. What is the purpose of this function.

Thanks in advance.

I have IBFX and i get
229.97
228.58

These will be different for each trader as it is broker and server dependent.

Not the same as the stock market.

The high price @ 1800 GMT looks like a better breakout area also.

No post says use the 1900 candle but that is the candle where the high for the 8 hours was made for today. The low was made during the 0000 candle.

My mistake Sir Larry, I seem to be having the hardest time dealing with this time conversion. I hope I didnt confuse anyone but myself. I think I finally got it squared away.

The backtest is on this thread. Look through it and you will see several backtests done. Backtest trades nearly match forward tests 100%. Broker price feeds won't always match, but it is clear that the system was not always a winner.

Let's not forget spread either.

2005 and 2006 were backtested but I believe they were visual only, not automated backtests. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 were not tested in any capacity.
