Good morning Nb 1.0 thread! This is my first post on this forum, though I've been reading many threads in the past months, especially those by nanninbob.

I'd like to thank Bob for all the work he has put into his systems and his extraordinary generosity to share them with the public! I am happy that I can follow the development of this new system from the very beginning. I've used a customized version of the NB 6.1 with good success, and I'll keep an eye on this one as well.

What I like about the new system is that there are defined stop loss levels, making the calculation of money risked in the trade a lot easier for me. Plus, since we're buying the dips of the trend, the next move is most likely longer than the retrace before (used by counter trend trading) since we're following the direction of the trend -> higher high.

I'll give it a shot on demo and see if I can integrate it with my lifestyle. Some trading windows seem to open and close within a few hours, hope that I can catch enough of them :-)

BTW, to me this looks like a system that is destined to be mostly automated (I don't trust fully automated systems) due to the clearly defined trading rules.

Thanks again Bob and a happy, healthy and prosperous year to everybody on the thread!

Here is a 5x5 MA warnig cross. I have set it up so it should warn you a little early. I had to use the 1MA crossing the 5MA on different settings to approximate the bid crossing the 5MA but it is not going to be quite the same. You can test it out. It will ring, post an arrow and give a message screen. You then can decide if you like the trade. Let me know if it is too early or too late and I can adjust it. You will get signals going both ways so good luck.

I have an entry EURUSD LONG. but now at -11.4 pips. if i look at the 5 min chart i see higher lows and mybe could have an earlier entry. i will follow an MTF approach with the trend-based system. another test i will do is to put RWB on the chart again and trade both trend- and counter-trend.
both system could give good entries end exits

if trend system gives an entry then counter-trend system should be give the trendexit and an countertrend entry.

you know at every timeframes are trends. if in 1h you see a correction in price in this correction is also a trend but in a lower TF.

maybe we will see.

i attach a chart with my trade for journaling.

@nanningbob: are you willing to journal your trades like in the countertrend version?

Here is the eur/gbp trade I missed today. I see some of you picked it up. Good show. Sitting at +39 now bring you SL up or use the close EA see both pics. The Second pic is your close EA. The Blue line now becomes your take profit line and your SL line. This is a pic on the 30M chart for the TP line the tan pic is a 1H for trade entrance 30M for trade exit and it is greenish.
Hi Bob
When you decide to change the TF ie to 30 min for the TP/SL EA ,do you decide that , based on the Strength , Weakness of the Currency Pair only (momentum)
So less strength, smaller timeframe
Do you look at other timeframes to decide what TF to use for your EA
ie looking at the overall trend strength on H4 to see if it is worth keeping open for a longer period or do you accept the smaller gains knowing that you will have lot of opportunities
I would just like to know how you choose your TP Strategy as this is always my stumbling block (Getting to greedy for example and leaving it open when I should have closed it a long time ago )
Thanks for a great system

This is the descretionary part of trading. Today is a bank holiday in many countries so I dont expect price to move that much today. So any profit that hits the board i want to protect quickly. If it was Tuesday or Wednesday I might give it more room. I find mentally pocketing profits on a consistent basis does a lot of good to my condfidence. The GU hit my 50 pip SL I set, it may or may not run more today. All I know is I have a 50 pip profit in the bank and two more trades on the board. I hate to see a nice 70 pip profit trade move back to 0 pips and stop out on BE settings. I always like to make sure every winning trade makes a profit if I can. Even if its two pips. The bottom line is this too many trader gurus show 100, 200, 300 pip profits and they are not the norm. 40-80 is more likely. Do I miss pips a lot? yup but I dont lose my profit either. That is why I wrote that money management with this system so people will have reasonable expectations. 50 pips a day as an average is a reasonable and attainable goal. 5 years of that and your a millionaire. Trading dimes for crying out loud. Once people get out of their unrealistic expectations then they can start to make money. I knew a guy who had 7000 dollars and wanted to make a FT living from it in Forex. His expectations were unreasonable and he pushed the buttons too hard. Took him less than two months to lose it. If he would have traded 50 cent lots instead he would still be in the ballgame.

Bob,

For the EURUSD trade, I did not take that.
I thought you mentioned, if 5 SMMA is too far away from the bottom ATR band/green line, that is a no trade.

Did I misunderstood?

I was going by trade #12 & #13 example in your doc.

Thanks,
Kumar

Yes but I dont want to start until next week. Want to get some practice in and get the bulk of the teaching out of the way. I will set something up that can get me on and off the screen quickly. I am not multi level trading so reporting should be much easier.

The trades only will not exist if you dont take them. If they are taken the results would be the same because the trade is not dependent on the TMA for entrance or exit. The entrance and exit are based on MA lines and they dont change. Dont understand why this is not fully comprehended????????????? You are entering off of a rally/dip back into the trend. Once you grasp this the TMA position arguments become irrelevant. However, it is a great guide into when to turn on the EA so you dont turn it on too early. Something I found out in testing the...
Got your meaning. you quantify "buy dip and sell rally" with your 240M, TMA stuff, great finding.

PS: I am in the trade of E/G and A/CAD. Looks good so far.

CADJPY looked good to me too. Price and the 5MA are all in the right area.

Bob,
Does the EA only work on the currently open chart/window?

I had the EA set on the EUR/GBP last night but it was a no trade. So I am wondering if it is because it was not the active chart

Just closed the eur/gbp for 53 pips profit, eur/usd currently at 33 pips in profit with SL at breakeven.

Astonishing results for this time of year, for I would not normally consider trading for another week at least...

Cheers,

Pete

ps. just closed out the e/u for 31 p.prof, time to hit the sack!

Just missed by about 5 pips a 100 pip profit on GU last night & now it has gone back up to leave me with a 20 pip profit. Hit 50 pip on EG. Both of these manual trades on my live account.

As everyone has already said, great new system, Bob. Also my preferred method of trading following the current trend after a pullback. Not sure about the complaints about the TMA line. Something has to be used.
