is this strategy suitable and profitable for both g/j and e/j also? if so, what is the suitable daily range to trade them...
and if there is anything special you need to do to be profitable trading these currency pairs.....
do you use you the 0400-0700 box to trade these currencies?
hi nullfx, this strategy is different type of breaking, I don't use any box at all, I use the pivot lines. Because the concept is diff then this strategy that is why I will not talk about it here in this thread but later on either Genius or I might open a new thread for this when I feel I am confi with it. For now I am still testing and putting up some rules so it would be profitable. I had some great results tonight as well with g/u not so much with the other 2.

no trade for me tonight. for the others it was a great night for both pairs, I am glad it still worked out either way.

My new style would be 13-14 trades per month and 3-4 loosers. and from those winners 80% would be max of profit.

I set my GU pending orders and fell asleep. I woke up with TP1 a +45 pip winner...great! But, I had slept through and missed the retracement that would have been a BE for TP2. Instead, without setting TP2 to BE, I made another +75 pips with TP2.

I knew I could trade better in my sleep than when awake! LOL

Just closed with a profit to the north.

I think you guys taking the 1HR MAs when your unsure about the 15M probably isnt the best idea, you've just got to go for it, because the MAs were along the bottom, but hey thats what I do and we all know every1 trades differently.

Hope you guys get ur trades, im off bak to bed! woohoo!!
Yes, you are rite. I did some backtest of using M15 and H1 TF for the indicator. The result is using M15 is better.
Thank you for that

Fed, I am waiting for your new strategy~Hope you success~
Maybe you can start a new thread for that as I think it can give out some idea for the improvement of the new strategy and not necessary to do a few months test for that first ~
Thank a lot

Going back to the original system; changing the sl point to half the box size instead of the sl being on the other side of the box will reduce losses thus make the system more productive.

The best for me is

0-4 with FXDD broker and

2-5 with Forex.com

No buffer. Just colored ema 200. That's it.

But fed makes me crazy with his last indicator

GE.
genius,

If Forex.com 2-5, then FXDD is 5-8. (genius, pls confirm)
I am using FXDD, and gained 13% in 10 trading days, now.
Just use 0.1 lot size on 10K demo account, GBPJPY, still add buffer.
Will try without buffer, and 200 MA later. (just need to add this to the code)
Use EA to do this (I modified from jason's code, I guess), I go to bed every night.

see picture.

Tonight g/j is bearish but g/u is complicated where the MA 90 is in the mid of the box and MA 200 is at the buttom of the 15min chart but yet it is oposite of the 1hr chart.

hi, is this the automated EA?
Yes, it is, hands free trading.
I am still waiting to see which indicator (MA) to add into the code.

-Will share it to all after it's done, if you all like it. :-)

But, genius has confused me on the box time frame.
I am on FXDD, and FXDD is 3 hours ahead of Forex.com.
So, I have been setup the box at 5-8 FXDD time.

genius said 0-4 FXDD time. ?????

The PSAR on both GJ and GU on both the 15 min and 1H charts is showing short (Sell) bias.

I would tend to favor the PSAR over the 2 MA's as a filter.

For what it's worth, my personal bias is to use no indicators at all, because we are "probability" trading and lagging indicators are nothing more than a history map. Lagging indicators are certainly no crystal ball for future price movement.

Just my 2 cents worth...

I am actually in with g/u but the way the MAs are formed it complicates things. but looking at 4 hr chart, a down trend and then it retraced up and now the price hopefully will fall down.
