hello,

Download from Alpari or Alpari-US as well. Their demo's do not expire unless you do not use them for a certain number of days.

Regards,
Jeff

Just download the platform from interbank fx website...

I think they last for 3 months (the demo accounts) but after that you can just make a new one and transfer all your templates and indicators etc to the new platform.

The indicators and templates all posted here are for MT4... Once you create your account let me know and I will show you how to set it up.

Itr's not complicated

Hello, can you give me the latest EA you developed for this system?
I'm trying something different using the CoG and I want to see how your system works.

Thank you!

That's true, the demo account has unlimited time.
Only that, to enter trade at least with US$100 per trade (minimum)...

I am using This for my Real Account (after confident with this system). This one, I can open 4 type of accounts (smallest, small, big & biggest)....

Not promoting, but I can enter trade with only US$1.00... that's the best...

Hi All,

I am new to this thread and system as of this week. I set up my charts and watched for 3 days.
I made my 1st trade, using this system, yesterday am, short on the JPY/USD. I TP at +50 pips. I continued to fall over night for another 60 pips. Oh well, I'm happy with +50
I entered GBP/USD this morning and TP at another +50 because it stalled out at the daily R1.
I'm using a live acct. with a small lot until I become more confident in this system, but 2 trades in 2 days for +100 pips is a good start.
It's too bad that endroute has left the thread for some reason, but I'd like to see it continue so that we can learn from each other.

By the way, can someone tell me how to post my chart's.

Thanks

Hi RVD,
I am also agree that this system can be really profitable if we trade the setup. Thanks to Endroute to bring up this system , & the others who makes it better (with the 'no-repainting' JB COG Indy).

Be confident but not to be too confident, until you the rules applied accordingly. Only with this system, I gain profits continuously on 15 trades..

Even though Endroute is not here (we always hope he'll be here soon), the others can also discuss & give their ideas regarding this COG & EMA (5 & 13) System.

Hey RVD

Welcome to the thread - To post charts right click on your chart and go to "save picture as" then save it somewhere (you can delete it after you post it if you want)

THen when you are writing a reply to the thread just click on the little paper clip icon in the toolbar (next to the smiley face) and it will take you to the attachments screen...

THen click "browse" and find where you saved your chart - Once you find your chart click "ok"

And then "Upload" - Do this as many times as you want to add more charts and when you are done you can close the attachments box and when you submit your post the chart will appear under what you wrote.

Hope this helps

Hi All,

I saw setup on EUR/AUD 1Hr, to go long (buy).
Candle closed below Gold Line, EMA already crossed Up (between green-gold) & CoG are trending Up (for filtering).

I entered on price 1.6468. (with 70pips SL & 15 pips TS, & 20 pips TP)


BUT take note that this pair has biggest spread....

GOOD LUCK...

A post last month from endroute says...
"Scratch nice work this is cool. There may be some more optimum settings that can be applied to the cog. As for me no trades this week I am on vacation, and most of all no trades on nfp days, no system can keep you from killing yourself on these days."

So no trading this Friday! I'd like to have all my positions closed out by COB Thursday.

I'm trading the 4H charts on about 10 pairs. All are doing well, except for one trade which I took on the daily charts which went against me. I'm waiting for it to come back up (this is on AUD/JPY btw). The hourly charts are too time intensive for me, and on the dailies you can wait forever for a valid setup. I think picking the correct timeframe based on your availability to check the market is important.

Is endroute back from vacation yet?? His last several posts on trading psychology were very good.
Disregard all prognostications.

Hi,
I am just getting familiar with this system. Based on the rules, it looks like there are two good setups on this 1h chart. The first is a sell and the second is a buy. The sell looks really good, the buy looks so-so.

Can anyone advise on if I am reading MA/COG right?

Hi Jerz,
Happy to see that you can get familiarize with this system. The COG you are using is the original version of COG from Endroute (thanks to him), and hope you realize that it is repaints by itself.
Here, I give another revised COG which doesn't repaints (I forgot who edited it)... thanks to him too.

Good luck guys....

Yes they are both valid signals Jerz although the buy looks like the MA's crossed a little late.

As antuque said it's the original COG so those 2 signals may not have actually been there for the taking at the time. Get the new JB COG going and compare the two and you will see what I mean.

Yeah, I see what you mean... with the JB COG neither one appear as a valid signal.

That leaves me wondering... does that mean a lot of lost trade opportunities or just safer trades... hmmm. I imagine the later.

Here is a chart to compare the two COG's.

Not necesarily lost trade opportunities - Just different ones I guess. You can look back over the charts with the JB COG to see how many. Just one point you may already know but BOTH the COGS will give the same signals in REAL time. It's just the past that makes a liar out of the original COG

It was scratch by the way who made the non repaint COG
