Have to see what happens either get stopped out or we wont.
You know this is a good post! We have commited to the trade on the Daily timeframe, set our stop loss and now whatever happens happens. Some will win some will lose but we should not worry about what happens during the daily candle.

Sit back relax and check again tonight when the candle closes.

Hi Ash and all others,

do you close all of your trades at the end of the week? Or do you just leave them run?

Thanks,
M.

I just noticed that the PSAR dot is coincidentally the same as my SL, so this question is kind of moot, BUT... generally if the PSAR or AO changes against the trade before the SL is hit should we close all positions?

Thanks!

Thanks for that Steve. Nvwine agrees with you but Ron, the author, clearly stated earlier in this thread it will definitely work in both modes so I'm leaving it alone until he changes his opinion.
Ron, is it possible nvwine and Steve are correct? The EA has been standing by for four days with no trades. Tick mode is false. BTW, he's (the EA now has a sex!) monitoring 12 pairs.

If stop loss or take profit hasn't been hit leave them open.

The problem would be in the order criteria, not the EachTickMode function. I'm still going through the order entry. Something isn't matching up.

The short on the chf/jpy not looking good at the moment.
it looks more like a strong long.
I normally don’t like trading against the trend like we did with the chfjpy pair. However, when I looked at the charts for this pair I saw that the last 2-3 times this pair reached its high or made a new high it headed South. All the other indicators I check, including the ones for this system, pointed to it going South as well. I must admit though, I don’t pay attention to news when I’m testing a system. I still haven’t given up hope on this trade.

The second half of the my USDCAD trade has stopped out at breakeven. The first half hit its profit target yesterday. So far my record with this system is 1 win (or a half win since the second lot was a breakeven).

Whatever happens on Sunday or Monday is not going to change the Friday candle in anyway.

The price could move for you or against you between Friday and Monday and will only affect your entry point but your stop would not change so I would be inclined to say place your order immediately after the Friday close.

i think usually there is some retracement on the last candle and if going short on USDJPY the swap is actually against you. just some thoughts

Guys you needn't worry about CHF/JPY. This should hit our TP before our SL. I am very confident about this trade, the resistance is too strong.

just be aware, price action on the USD pairs could get choppy the beginning of the week as we have a FOMC statement on Wed afternoon (1:15 pm Eastern).

I personally let the market re-open and then make a decision.

Correct.

Because this is a Second Strength Trade, it means our stop would be placed at the swing high. This is also a strong resistance point, as can be seen in the picture. Excellent setup.

You can either enter on Friday night or at market open. That's something which I haven't accounted for officially.

No, there is only one trade, because:

a) The SL wasn't hit.
b) The second "trade" you talk about couldn't occur since the Stochs weren't crossing up.

Ash,

Did you take swing Low into account, which was three bars away from the entry for the first Long trade? if so, then yes, it did not hit the SL.

I am asking to be sure that SL was not the difference of Low and close of the previous bar to go long. Otherwise, SL would have been hit.

Thanks

Never mind Ash. I found answer to my own question as per post 120.

Ash,

The first solid week of trading in a long time - thanks Ash for a great system. I used it live exclusively this week starting Tuesday and closed everything out just before close. Did my best to follow your rules, but still made some stupid noobie moves. All in all 275 pips booked!!!!!!!!
