hi there dani,
you are right on the GU trade, like i said before i kinda like endroute basic idea of MA crossover, because i had use it for quiet a while. so if the crossover signal popout i analize it with my other indi... which is RSI if the price go below level 50 mean it will go down. and the COG wave direction is going down.
i forgot to mention i trade manualy i don't use EA....

To all of you who don't like this system;

please go to the system you like and let the rest of us
concentrate on trading with Endroute's system.

Endroute, thanks for your method. It's working for me.

Regards

Fair enough - But if it's working for you all I was saying was to post your trades and help those that might be struggling.

Hey Lost Angels well done on the trades it's just a little hard to go back and look what you did because of the repainting of the COG - MAybe you or Endroute or anyone else trading this could post some live examples as they're happening and this thread could get back on topic

Cheers

I should have posted the COG settings I use:

bars back = 240
m=4
i=0
ktsd=1
sname=500
believe you used the above for 1hr charts,

How about for 4Hr charts, what are the optimum setting to use? anyone?

also does different currency pairs have different optimum setting?

Hi,
Same settings for 1H & 4H. All pair use the same COG setup.
Use the MA cross indicator for getting early alerts & double check with the rules once you have a crossover.
Have fun.

Hi,
I did about 35 pips on the 4H charts from 1.0132. I was away from the pc so my TP was hit. If I were here, i would have let it go.

Hi guys,

i am a newbie here but has started trading with endroute concept. And wallah.. I've found it suited to me. All the while I am reading in this thread and i think Cindy is looking for a Holy Grail system. Emm.. thru my 2 years involvement in FX, I have not found any so called a Holy Grail system. The problem of trading actually coming from our innerself.

Cheers

Hey folks,

Forgive me if someone has already posted similar rules to the ones below. I read most of the thread and began back testing using the rules below.

Time-frame: 1 Hour

Entry Rules: Price and cross-over (5 & 13 EMA) must take place below (buy) or above (sell) the green COG line.

Stop-loss: 10% of the difference between the upper and lower orange COG lines (+ spread) above (sell) below (buy) the orange COG line.

Exit Rules: exit at opposing orange COG line or when an opposite crossover occurs out with the green COG lines.

Using this very strict entry, stop and exit rules the back-testing on 9 pairs returned no loosing trades and 2029 pips. However, as we all know this is not live forward testing which usually brings lesser results. Again though I feel there is certainly potential with this system. Unfortunately I have no time to day trade at the moment but would be interested to see if anyone else is willing to trade these rules live on a demo.

Hope this helps in some way and please check back through the charts and you will see the straightforward entries. I quickly put together an excel sheet so please feel free to check all the entries.

Good Luck

Foggytrader

Maybe this could help though I found it listed for another indicator (polynomial regression - edit: in fact doing some research seems that COG is a variation of the original named ANG-PR - maybe forum member Ronald Raygun could help you about this):

Quote
m - regression degree;
i - initial bar starting from the end;
kstd - width of the standard deviation channel;
sName - number of the indicator: if 2 and above so please write different numbers.
It is very probable that the variables here have that same significance.
Knowing that, you could take the mq4 version of the indicator and read the math behind involving them so to have a clearer picture.

Yes Endroute please come back - hope my negative posts didn't put you off I would like to apologise I meant no offence! I promise I will keep any negative opinions to myself in the future.

I am watching this thread everyday because this method still interests me.

By the way I found this indicator the other day which may be of some use its a multi time frame MA so you can look at the 5 min MA on a 1 hour chart etc.

Enjoy!

endroute, For your 1hr method, can you post some screen shot examples of the coming trades you made? Pls post a 'before' and 'after'. 'Before' refers you the point you decide to enter a trade.

Hi Cindy & awsl,
I PM him a couple of times with no reply.
I really don't know whats up with him, and its a pity, because he has a lot of experience.
So I think that we should do it ourselves by sticking to the original rules, and study from each other.
