Yan's strategies-tester

Hello all ForexFactory members !

First, forgive me about my poor english... It's not my best side...

I'm going to start a personal journal in which I'll examine 4 differents strategies.
I'm doing it in a journal in order to take it more seriously, more consistently, and to get some feedback in order to hear others idea's.

I'll try to give some details about my 4 systems:

System 1: Trend follow
That system is the most "non rulles system" from all the 4.
I'll try to identify the main trend via 4H graph, adding some daily fundamental staff from some analysts, and then locate good entry-point.
I'll use that system only on the GBP/USD and EUR/JPY or EUR/CHF. That's because I don't want to trade to much correlatives pairs.

System 2: Asia session Breakout
In that system, limit orders will be determined via the High-Low of the Asia-session.
Some filters will use like no trading after to much volatility session, or the high-low is at the end of the session.
I'll try that strategy on the 4 majors, and maybe eliminate some pairs after examin the results.

System 3: Dolly...
No need to details. you can read more at TSD-forum. That system seems to give consistent positive results.
I'll try that strategy on the 4 majors, and maybe eliminate some pairs after examin the results.

System 4: News trading.
Straddle news trading with 2 lots foreach direction. the first lot will have TP which will determine by historical values base on BurgerKing historical charts (At news trading forum)
The second lot will not have TP but manually trailing profit.

Each system will have seperate summary for profit/loss.
All the orders will be given as much as close to realtime, accept news trading that is too much rapid so only the first straddle will be state out.
Any thought, ideas will be welcome !

Good luck 4 all,
Yan.

Well, today I wasn't by the screen at the beggning of the session, so dolly-system and asia-session-system wasn't triggered.

System 4 - News
Going to trade at 14:00 GMT the GBPUSD for the New home sales.
Straddle at 8 pips each side, SL 15 pips, TP for the first lot 25 pips.
Notice that if the first TP doesn't triggered immediately, I remove it and chainging it manually.

Have a great trading day !

are you going long or short? I like the fact you use a variety of factors and systems in your trading even though majority prefer to use only on system and stick to it...however I feel if you take the best out of all systems and combine it, you can make a more profitable and successful system...look forward to following your thread....keep up the good work and your english is just fine!!

Hi,

"Straddle" means setting 2 orders just before the news (I usually setting it 15 seconds before news) - BUY STOP, and SELL STOP. After the news, in case of large movment, one of the orders will be set, and you'll trail it and remove the other one. You can search "news trading" at the "news trading forum" and you'll find that strategy. Just know - It's a pretty risky one!

Yan.
