Latest update of KAS TRTS system - win some loss some - getting better.

300508 11:57pm (GMT+8)

It has been long that I have not come out with a new idea of Set and Forget system to be tested.

Idea came out just now- Based on the KAS COMBI signal, if UC and EC is Red (BBS) for example at the time I open the chart - then I will immediately placed a SELL UC, SELL EC and SELL EU - no SL no TP.

But, at 20 pip negative from the SELL entry, place 3 pending orders BUY for all pairs.

The concept is :

a) Mostly UC and EC will move almost congruently most of the time, so it is most likely that both will move in the same direction up or down.

b) The reason why I dont place EU the other direction is because, this is a Set and Forget system, and price can get anywhere if not monitored - so by putting EU with the same direction of UC- it act some kind of hedge.

c) Now, the pending orders at the reverse direction is the 'key' thing - which is at 20pip away from the entry point - this would mean that, the Worst Case Scenario will be - if all pending orders got hit, we will have loss around 60 pip, so close it.

d) The Best Case Scenario will be if only pair got hit in another direction.

e) The Medium case scenario will be if 2 pairs got hit in another direction - but still we can get near to break even in this case.


First test - SELL UC, EC and EU. Set pending buy orders at 20pip away from the SELL Entry.

Read somewhere from someone - looks like a good Set and Forget System to be tested :

I have been trading by hedging EUR/USD nad USD/CHF. It is true that the pairs are very closely related (as shown by the correlation data. However the slight difference in correlation leads to a volatility.
It is this diff which i trade...
Method: BUY 1 unit EUR/USD
Buy 1 unit USD/CHF
With only 2 units traded on oanda the monetary value is negligible. What i am looking for is a positive or negative difference in pip value.
i.e. EUR/USD = -245 pips
USD/CHF = +145 pips
(If his was perfectlly correlated then pip values shoud be exact opposites) IT IS THIS VARIANCE WHICH I RELY ON TO MAKE PIPS.
When the difference reaches a negative/positive value of 100 pips. i place larger positions on BUYING both pairs and waiting for this variance to return to normal (i.e. correlated). By doing this i make the 100 pips profit
If the initial 2 unit BUY trade results in:
EUR/USD = +176
USD/CHF = -74
In order to make money as the charts correlate again, both pairs need to be SOLD and 100 pips are taken...
I dont know if i have explained this well. I have been making consistant profits with a small outlay ($100.00) for the past 8 months. The beauty of this system is that i am not trying to predict the trend of the chart, all i do is wait for deviations away from perfect corellation and take profits on its return. As this is a totally mechanical system, anyone with programming knowledge (NOT ME!!!!!) can back test this and pls post yr results.
I would be very interested in the input of experienced traders as i am making profits but i dont know if i am just lucky......Regards

020608 7:50am (GMT+8)

Placed a BUY EU, BUY UC and BUY EC - based on KAS COMBI signals both UC and EC is going up.

Set pending order SELL for all 3 pairs at -20 pip away from BUY entry price.

Will see what happen today.

020608 5:30pm (GMT+8)

All 3 pairs hit the SELL - closed it with -78 pip loss.

020608 5:31pm (GMT+8)

Based on KAS TRTS system - placed BUY GJ, BUY UJ and SELL GU just now.

020608 6:08pm (GMT+8)

Closed the trade with 11 pip profit.

020608 6:12pm (GMT+8)

Based on KAS TRTS system, have placed another BUY GJ, BUY UJ and SELL GU just now.

020608 6:26pm (GMT+8)

Just to highlight that the KAS TRTS system - on the BUY GJ, BUY UJ and SELL GU signals - the signal is VALIDATED even STRONGER if there are signals to BUY EC, BUY UC and SELL EU - as attached.

020608 9:32pm (GMT+8)

Anyhow, the price went the other way around - close with -54 pip loss. Something got to be done with this TRTS formula.

I missed one day writing in this journal - I was actually trading with KAS COMBI Trading system that I put up in Trading System forum and trying to find coder for EA.

Will continue writing here - at least once a day.

040608 12:44am (GMT+8)

Using KAS TRTS system v030608, placed a SELL EC, SELL UC and BUY EU just now.

040608 1:04am (GMT+8)

Closed all position with 8 pip profit just now.

040608 2:33am (GMT+8)

Entry SELL GJ at 205.98 just now based on KAS COMBI.

040608 2:46am (GMT+8)

Something to consider. Perform SELL GU, SELL EU and SELL UC and SELL UJ, just now.

That should be the 'Hedge' that I am tested, let see whether the trade can be profitable or not.

040608 3:10am (GMT+8)

Have closed the KAS COMBI trade with -15 pip loss.

In the meantime, the floating loss of the 4 pair SELLs just now has a drawdown of -46 pips right now.

I observe that the reason would be :

GJ and EC is going up.

Because :

SELL GU * EU * UC * UJ = SELL GJ and SELL EC.

If both GJ and EC going up, that's why we have drawdown.

060608 12:40am (GMT+8)

The 4 pairs 'hedge' trade yesterday was closed with 69 pip profit.

050608 12:51am (GMT+8)

Testing new indicator - called MTF BBS - Multitimeframe Bollinger Band Stops.

BUY GJ at 205.05 just now -

after price makes big move, it will range, then the BBS act as Good Support and Resistance -
