This will rock the Forex World - new concept.. new idea and its hard to destroy this. I want you the be apart of this journey. My only concern is this might also change some rules in trading Forex. I hope not...cause that really sucks.
Julius

yeah it's pretty powerful to say the least, however I doubt it will change any rules... for the simple reason markets only trend roughly 20% of the time. This is what does most traders in... is knowing when to trade and when not to. I don't think this will change for many it CAN, but comes with experience and work. That is the hardest thing to know in any system / method or other.

It's very easy to make a mistake. The benefit of this system is that if there is any trending the indy / IA will show it to you... but you can see from past thread that people can't understand that timing is just important with this as it is with any method.

What signals you see depend on when the IA or Indy was turned on, started up or whatever. What happens in a head fake, whipsaw?

So while this method is 100% original and very powerful if used properly it still does not negate the human factor of impatience and /or greed.

Greed is that little whisper over your shoulder telling you to hang on, one more pip, one more minute, one more hour etc. If you don't know him yet you will. [I say that to any noob, reading this.]

The Human factor is what keeps the doors open. Not saying that all humans are created equal in regards to forex trading tho'.

I know that a lot of you are having a hard time countin the pips and dollar amount you are making with these method. Most especially when your Profitprotect EA is activated, you keep asking did i make profit in that last trade? and since it is 14 in the basket it is hard to count. I have attaced on post#1 here an xls aheet to count help you count your pips. download it, i t has a macro in it. When you open it will ask you to enable macro, enable it, its not malicious. Ok here is the instruction. After you have save your statement report, you can highllight the portion of wat you want to count copy it then go to the spreadsheets open it. right now there are some entry there remove it carefully all entry left of the vere small column only the rest will be eliminated. Put your cursor at cell C7 then paste waht u copy. Boom there it is, youdont like the apperance ----click Tools >>Macro>>>Macros>> then clik run. Voila it is clean and formated nicely. at the top you can see the amount and the pips of those entries. If this is not happnning you have erase the formula, take 2 download again this time more careful to delete the oriiginal entry then the process continue over and over until u got it right.

Another way to get a count of pips made is to run Crodzilla's T101 system on the same metatrader instance and enter a short/long at the same time you execute a trade. Subtract the spread and note the pips when you exit. It may not be perfect but it will be close. You want the perfect count use Julius' spreadsheet.

Disclaimer: I am not advocating using Crod's program for trading just to count pips.

Oh, erm.. u have added me previously, and I can see u "AWAY" in my msn now, so can i safely assume i'm not the dumbo? Hehehee.

Btw, u mentioned in yr "pointers when trading tandems on Non-IBFX platform", EU & UC tends to come close together, hence trade one pair long, and the other short, depending on the territories they are in. What abt pairs that repel each other eg GU & GJ? I should trade them same directions (either 2 longs or 2 shorts)? Or also 1 long, 1 short? I think it's the latter, but just wanna be sure... Thks!

Trader101,

I have been studying your methods and threads quietly from the sidelines, and would like to become a more visible student.

While I do not have much programming skills, I'd be very willing to assist with testing, and once I fully grasp the intricacies the methods I can offer to help with documentation, if there is such a need.

Regards
Suzette

Hi All!

In my reading of the thread it mentions leaving the IA running. I assume this is the IA in MT4. (sorted trade log in terminal)

Being that the P/L is reset daily at or about the time of the SWAP, what value does leaving it run long term have? OR is there a setting I can't find that prevents it from clearing daily?

On that same topic, it would seem the longer it runs the values to the extreme pairs would become larger values and therefore the pairs slower to change and or in some cases very difficult for a pair in the middle to take it out.

Thanks for the help!

hi julius,

found you here after you closed your other thread. I decided i would follow in silence, and hope that any questions i may have are asked by others.

but since you have decided to proceed on msn , i thought i would have to chirp up in the hope of recieving an invite, when you conduct your meeting.

Oh! by the way, has anybody said "this system looks good"?

We call them the extremes and the slower the middle pairs. Yes they settle like dirt in the water and will oly move if someone shake the bottle strong enough meaning real big trend. Every week you have to make a new one. but keeping the ols one as reference in case someone shakes the bottle hard to make those sediments move.

Here is a kool tool, Forex Control Center, that will allow you to analyze your trades. You have the ability to see performance based on pips, pairs, p/l, etc... The free version only allows you to import one account at a time.

Edit: If anyone needs help setting up the program let me know via PM.

Julius, Could I just request whe n you do set up these MSN Meetings, that you notify people with at least 12 hours notice?
The reason is that some people may be a sleep when you call and would not know until they awoke too late. I just got up. LOL

After blowing through countless demo accounts and one real one using various strategies and EAs this basket trading thing as described by Trader 101 seems to work for me. I have a demo account at FxPro that I started at 100k a short while ago testing different stuff. The balance gradually sank as all my accounts tend to do (was down in the 50s), but my acct balance has today peaked up over 100k again. I will stick to demo trading this method for a good while longer, but for the first time I feel like there's a real method to it and it seems to be working.

Many Thanks to Trader 101 for sharing this with me.
