Will do...I actually didn't see the 1st bar...so the bar I bought it on was what I thought was the 1st bar. Doh!

second that!

this is a mechanical system which appeals to most of its followers i suspect but the moment trades start being reported based on one's individual discretion, then the system has lost its sanctity.

Fair enough!

Perhaps people wouldn't mind just noting if they have differed from Tony's rules when announcing trades! Otherwise I start getting worried that I'm going

Cheers!

Tony,

would you clarify below pls? i was under the impression that you traded in the directon of the 1st 5 sec bar whatever be the bar length.. but looks like you apply some discretion?

Quoting Tony112
yes, initial direction was sell but it was less than 1 pip... it quickly reversed into buy

Well, exactly. Trading in the initial direction was the "strategy". Now with the "yes but" tossed into the mix, it has taken on something different. Ah well, that is how it usually goes in the various trading system threads.

Maybe I´m wrong but I think Tony´s rules are the same: we have to enter in the "Initial Direction", if the first 5s candle is bearish 1 pip and the second 5s candle is bullish 5 pips, the "Initial Direction" for me is bullish.
It´s not so mechanic but, what I do is to wait 1-3 firsts 5s candles to make sure what is the Initial Direction .....

Are you some kind of sheep to blindly follow rules you get set or are you able to use your brain and know that there will always be "yes but's". Before complaining get your stuff straight and get a method up and running you gain consistent profits, than make a thread that is supported by you over a year, then come back and complain.
And if you don't like "yes but's", code yourself a profitable EA and be happy.

I agree with Caillou. I think that the rules are the same. and in 99% of the situations it shouldn't matter. Judging by previous posts most people are in on the profit when there is one. That is all that should matter.

You know what you can do with your attitude. I am sure I don't have to explain that.

If you deciphered my comment to a simplistic "complaining" comment, you are on the wrong side of the fence. Look at any strategy in any of these threads and they all evolve into something different. It's neither good nor bad...it is what it is. That is how people make it their own. That is how people find their own success.

Should I describe a mechanical system for you? Are you saying the Turtles that were profitable were "sheep" because they followed the rules set out in a profitable strategy? Get a grip pal. Learn proper sentence structure and punctuation while you are at it. Btw, I don't need an EA to be profitable and "happy". Thanks for the advice though.

tony, are you saying that you would change the previous trade to a short position instead of long because it began that direction?

Can any of you guys recommend a good broker for this type of trading (besides Oanda) I have other things running so I need MT4.
Right now my broker will not let me put the SL that close and it has a 2 pip spread. So the closest I can put it is 4 or 5 pips down.
