To all who think this is a good idea, your more than welcome to download this excel sheet and copy the conditional formatting and to those who care less... don't download it

I made the cells change color when they either become a greater value than the cells above or a less value than the cells below. Green cells mean the pair moved up and red cells mean the pair moved down.
If you want to copy the formatting to another spreadsheet you can copy and paste special. I made other modifications to the data feeds so the entire spreadsheet might not work properly for most of you. If you copy the conditional formatting make sure the row numbers line up otherwise it will be all messed up. Column letter does not matter.

I also moved the profit to the left side and the pair to the right. This makes it easier to sort... you can highlight the entire block for each date, go to the data tab and sort z to a, one simple click.

Find the most recent placement of ccy. There are a lot of trading opportunities as you can see how jumbled the placement are. I will leave it to you to find your favorite pair to trade. But there is plenty just look at the left column and see how they are being group. BTW the Oanda demo of last week is still on-going and it is now i think +800 pips and the pairs are still in thier journey to settle to theri spot. That was last week this one, consider this as a new positioning like you havent seen the last Friday trade that we have.

Think of this thread as a science class, on your first day your not let lose with all the volatile liquids, you start with a bottle of water and your facinated with the gas burner and the movment of the fluid, you watch in amazment as it changes from one state to another, after a while you start to understand a little and can start to experiment in the safe enviroment of the lab (Demo account), some will become OK some will be GOOD and some will EXCELL - this is us now all of us, some will only trade the IA 14pairs because they are easier to see and other will excell and just see it the way it is. a $50,000 demo account is a very safe place to blow things up - have some fund with it.
Nicely put MPP...

The 2protectaccount not only locked your profit but also protect you from to much loses. If you are babysetting your trade this EA is not required but if you are leaving your trade it is important that it is on all the time. Also It guards your account for sudden spike that we dont know broker might throw once in a while.
This is something folks should always keep in mind...

I'm not completely up on this, but I do know there a paper clip in the upper right corner of this and I think every other thread that shows attachments, files may be there. Just a thought.

I've been studying "Tandem Pairs" and "Jumper Pairs" are they one in the same?

I thought the "Jumper Pairs" are any that deviate from the opening price and "Tandem Pairs" are the ones that repel and follow each other? I also could have sworn that I read somwhere that Trader 101 said he doesn't trade "Tandem Pairs" during ranging periods but "Jumper Pairs" can be traded either way. I'm just looking for clarification.

if you are really looking and reading all the post in the previous thread, i will believe you. How many people are being bothered because you are lazy to look and read and have the guts to say "Not anyplace to be found". This file is not mine and i am not putting it in page1.

ok so 4hrs ago i had all the buy's at the top and all the sell's at the bottom, this may be part of a retracement on previous weeks trends

but i have just seen the first pair move down EG and first pair move up EChf (IBFX)

initially i went long on 14pairs, but believe this to be wrong as i should now be looking for the pairs to start moving in the opposite direction (i didn't wait many hours for the pairs to settle)

was it a sell on EG and EChf?

time will tell, trend change or retracement?

The Orest indic is playing -75 - 0 - 75 on the bottom total our profitcalc is showing NONE most of time meaning it is a ranging market. The ccy moves are also narrow. All trend following system is not going to work at this market. Us is being warned by profit calc and Orest Indic, meaning it is saying we have to stay in the sideline. However we have options to continue trading the Jump pairs technique. Remember no 14 pairs plays at this moment. I was able to get a decent 400 pips around midnight but thats it.

I have been reading across threads and i have made a consensus that it is not about how good the system is it has to do with your entry. Some are complaining because reports keep coming that others are making +profit and the rest also of the same broker are reporting -profit. They are trading same pairs same direction. It has to do with the entry time then. I think the same is happening to those that are follwoing the Basket Trading System (T101 System). I have a entry system that keeps me having good timing in the entry. I am trying to put it in words and visual aid to help other traders to avoid this problem. On my trades, to date i have only made 3 trades (14 straight) one was last night which ended up 410 pips and this morning that ended up 210 pips and not the third one is now 150 pips just open 11:00 est. The difficulty of relaying my entry technique is that it has a lot of discretionary basis and the like that may confuse a new trader. I will try to put these into words and will post it here.
