Quoting Blackeagle
I just want to make clear that I wasn't either negative or positive on my posts.

I said it was just 10 days of forward testing and its performance cannot be judged.

I said it was a special time of the year.

I said should someone take all the trades mechanically (without any discretion), the results including the spreads would be like that.

My post was just an observation, that's it. But someone talks about autism, the other about naysaying.

Sorry to interrupt.
Good trading to you all,
dont take anything personal, you can tell by the response that some in this thread have a bit of growing up to do, your feedback is welcome as is everyone's.
to resort to name calling or implications when someone knows nothing of the other shows a poor lack of judgment and is that kind of attitude that is simply not needed in a public forum or any forum.

do and say unto others and now back to trading and please refrain from non trading comments...please

this has been a good thread so lets keep it that way

if someone here does not like anothers post then IGNORE it, do not attack them for stating thier opinions.
Don't chase the market, Let the market come to you

first i would like to appoligize to all especially blackeagle i shouldnt have gotten so bent out of shape my main goal was to introduce to you a method by which you could determine the daily trend and trade off of it nothing more and nothing less in fact if you took all the signals today you would have had 5 wins and 3 losses. look if you want to forward test, backtest, sidetest, retest or protest thats really ok with me. there has to be a little discretion in trading with this system there isnt much but there is some. noone should take any signal blindly. here is the reason if we have a signal to go long on eurjpy and a short on gbpjpy dont you see there is a conflict there? my only question is why start testing on dec21 when no one trades on dec 24 25 so really you tested 4 days i started this post in november why not start there/ anyway sorry for my rookie mistakes and my behaviour here are tommorows signals we have a long for eurcad no trade on gbpusd and the rest are short gbpchf and gbpjpy are oversold

Newbie question....I got back from work and noticed on the hourlies that all had giant spikes at 2300 GMT. What is that? Is it rollover related?

Thnx.

crap! that's right! somebody put up a version with the gmail stuff commented out. Mikep's last upload was post 516 on page 35. Here it is again along with the sendmail files needed for emailing the alerts. I don't know about the hesitation and arrows but I compared this file to the one I'm using and they are identical. Remember you have to make sure you check "Allow DLL Imports" on the common tab, manually set the Daily Direction to "up", "down" or " " depending on the daily signal, set the AlertAndMailON to "true" if you want the email and adjust the BeginHour and EndHour for your timezone.

You guys better make sure that your dinapoli indicator is named properly in your EXPERTS/INDICATOR folder.

The dinapoli name used for the alert code was taken from post #510 on page 34.

The dianpoli name on post #1 is INCORRECT.

(If you make a copy of any indicator in the same folder as the original then MS windows will automatically add a number in the name to show it as a copy.)

If even one character in the name is different then what the code is looking for then it will never find it.

If the alert indicator can't find the dinapoli stoch then NO arrows will be drawn and alerts will not be triggered.

Btw, at that particular time, I couldn't compile the original code to run as it was looking for a gmail subcode, so I commented it out, having not been aware of the gmail code provided much much much earlier.
(Having no GMAIL code will not affect the alert or arrow operation what-so-ever. Nor, will it affect the text emailing ability if you have the TOOLS/OPTIONS/EMAIL window properly filled out in your platform.)

I'd be willing to bet this is all the problem is. Mikep's Alert indicator still works GREAT for me on both northfinance and interbankfx.

****** If you want to make a copy of an indicator without having anything added to it's name then RIGHT CLICK and drag it to a DIFFERENT folder. You will get a menu window when you let go of the mouse button that will allow you to copy it there instead of move it.

Harold, no need to apologise and thanks for sharing your strategy. I have started forward testing on Dec 21st, because I haven't seen this thread in November and started to read all posts in mid December and when I finished reading all the posts, I liked your ideas and decided to forward test without using any discretion. The reason I didn't want to apply any discretions is that if your strategy performs well without discretion, then it would perform much better with discretion as you try to eliminate some losers. And I also believe that mechanical trading is easier than discretional trading since trading psychology which comes forward in discretional trading is a difficult thing to cope with.

Regards,

Alright friends, had enough. its time to say thanks to Harold and others who helped here on this post. I have developed an EA for this and more than happy to add anything on Harold;s request. I am right now testing it and seems alright so far.

Features

Daily Direction using Global Variable (hit F3 button and add the following variable with value 1 for UP and 2 foe Down trend. Just change the pair name at the end, see pic, for any pair you like.)

Any display setting for charts but EA will only acts on 1 Hour time frame (all coded), that means you can change view and still be sure that EA wont trigger any orders :-)

Use of trade hours and days.

Sound alert

One trade per bar

Confirmation of cross over in Pip values as well.


let me know if you find any bug or you want to bug me to do anything

u/j still a no go,
I also use BB with this system you will see that it doesnt want to drop below the middle BB (good sup/res) and tend to use the outer BB as a chance of a reversal
Nice to hear someone is using bollinger band. I combine Harolds Ema settings with Bollinger band and Candle stick charts. Still testing on my demo account though, but so far, results have been terriffic. I nickname my technique Bollema Technique and i'm still testing it on all time periods.

First time I contribute to this thread.

I read the whole thread yesterday and demoing the trades today. As of now I am up 1,500 $ on a standard account. This seems very good and reliable. One thing I want to suggest is going for pivots and support/resistance in terms of setting a target price instead of using a set TP of 50 pips. I am attaching a couple of indicators that might be of help.
