Dani,

What Pairs you trading most...?

I am trading with GBP/JPY, GBP/CAD, GBP/AUD, GBP/NZD and EU/JPY

Love COG so much...

Hi KOD,

I have taken so much from this and other forums, its time I give a little back.

As I read back through this thread and realized almost everyone here is going through the same thing I went through when I first started, I was directionless, trying any new system that looked like it might make me the next George Soros. I was so focused on finding "the system" that I never stayed with one thing for very long, it was kind of like dating before I met my wife. I painted my screens with indicators, I tried lots of different timeframes, etc. I didn't make any money doing this, but I did learn a lot. At some point I had an epihany and actually started putting the things I had learned to work for me, I started being consistent, I gained more confidence, and I started trading without fear.
The goal is to help you all get to where I am know. We will not be abondoning the COG or the MAs. In subsequent Posts I will go over:

-picking your time frames and the trading with the trend, not your normal look at the daily chart and trade in that direction trend trading. Hint you can make money on all the timeframes.
-Money management - it's not the same old 2% thing that get thrown around, this is money management and leverage for the real world.
-Picking your entry points. And a couple of really good approaches (3 to be exact), with the COG/MA approach being 1 of them. A good trader always has a couple of well tested system in his/her back pocket.
-Exits
-Let the trading begin, with all 3 of these systems. The key is to trade the systems as they were designed, if you want to make changes to them great, but I don't want to hear about it at least on this thread. Our goal is to consistently trade systems we know work and not to keep adding new indis to keep us out of the bad trades, there will be bad trades where you will loose a few pips. Just a fact of life.

You don't want a ton of signals, you just want good signals. It looks like what KingofDinar is doing is veryifying the trend using the stochastics, a great approach, and something I will cover in a lot of detail as I love stochastics, especially multitimeframe/period stochastics.

Hi friends.
I'm glad the thread is back on track, and endroute's return is a major part of it.
It could be nice if someone volunteers to put down a summary of the method + FAQ + setup for newbies in the thread, so each time we see a "reoccurring" question we can send them to read the manual.
