Based on those trades posted, if the previous bar was up, he placed an up order. In a trend market, it certainly works, though the profit will limited due to tight profit target.

The problem is: most of the time profit/risk ratio was 1:5 even higher, i.e, you need to win 5 of 6 for break even. I am still curious how it survive during range market, such as GBPUSD in Oct 2007.

Cheers,
Simon
Simon, I learnt something people who are concerned the same way you do, won't make money in forex trading, there is no any strategy that wins all the time, the ratio of win, lose and no trade in trending and ranging days almost brought to me the same result, and for Oct 2007 the result was win=17, lose=5 for GBP/USD, the average of losing trades for each pair every month is 2-3, do you think that there is a strategy on earth that brings 100% profit all the time, never and we won't find it, coz if we find it we won't find people who clean WC's and others who sweap streets, I'm convinced with my strategy, maybe the SL is sometimes very high, but usually when SL is very high, it brings profit, most of the loses came when there is a small SL, coz as I mentioned SL is being placed on critical levels, I don't like strategies that place 30 pips or 50 pips fixed SL on any trade they enter, coz this is nonesense, and I ask myself based on what these 30 or 50 pips, SL from my point of view must be placed on levels that if reached or broken, that they will give reversal move, well if 30 and 50 pips meet this level, well there is no problem to place them, even if I place a 20 pips SL, but on the otherside my risk/ratio looks scary but I'm convinced with it

Pino,
I really like your system (especially your results) I am having trouble with the size of the SL though, I am trading a couple of your picks live right now (MICRO lots ($.10 a pip)) as your entries agree with the pb's showing on both Cable and Euro/USD.

I wish us both much success!!!

I wish you success, yes you are right regarding the SL, sometimes it's very high but I've explained why, on the otherside I'm working on this issue now.

It seems like the GBP/JPY and the EUR/JPY do better than the other two overall. Why is that? My focus has been on the EUR/USD but with this system that pair doesn't do the best. Is there any way to tweak this system or use another one that is great for EUR/USD. I usually trade for short amounts of time.

Big loss, but this was my fault, I wanted to try placing lower SL, so it was easily hit, I've learnt from my mistake, either to place the correct SL without lowering it as I did today or not trade and not to be affected by other people's thoughts, coz this will be a break to my strategy, I'm convinced from what happened today coz I learnt from it.

Yes GBP/JPY has the best result among the other pairs.
