Hi Steve,

When trading this system, we are suppose to scan six pairs- Kevin recommended -eurusd, gbpusd, eurjpy, audusd, usdchf, usdcad. Once the EA is to your liking, is there any way we can have it scan the six pairs to look for the next trade? How about the ability to take multiple trades if another setup occurs? Now that would be sweet, especially if two MOM trades just occured!!

I know were just in the early stages here, just thought I would put it out there for future consideration.

Thanks,

Dan

You mean scan all Six pairs from ONE chart window?
or do you mean simply trade all six pairs?

Because as far as I know its simply a matter of adding the EA to each pair on its own chart, so you can already do what you ask.

Ok, I have been dealing with EA's for just a little bit now. If its that easy, which I didnt realize you could put the same EA on six different charts, thought it wouldnt work right, then I guess there is a script that keeps the EA from overtrading, etc...Looks like I have more reading to do.

Thanks,

Dan

EA should have triggered a short on this last aggressive move, but nothing happened.

.... I have a general question for you,
I saw your trading room picture posted,
What do you use to connect 3 monitors to one computer?

Do you have 2 VGA ports & HDMI or do you just use a desktop extender?

And, out of curiosity, how has manual demo trading gone this week? I started well, then tailed off in the middle and gave back all my gains plus a few. I finished more strongly and finished with the account about 5% down.

I hope to improve next week. If I cannot make successful manual trades, the EA is not going to get very far.

Hi Steve,
I've been trading K manually all week at the start of the Tokyo session and I'm with you it hasn't set the world on fire.....Survived a complete indi change over after your post of the updated versions.......Didn't seem to change the performance much at all.......One thing I did was to shut off the auto alert....That thing is about a bar to late for my taste and I did better jumping in at the line....
I have a pretty good idea what the system is now and I'm about ready for the EA.....Will give it a go next week.....

Have a great weekend

As it happens, in my manual trading, yes. For the purpose of manual or ea trading, it doesn't matter. All variants of TMA give the same reading now. Differences emerge when looking backwards in time. Given that for TMA purposes, K does not look backwards in time, these differences are irrelevant.

Steve,

Thanks for the work, hope we can have some fun with this.

I didnt trade much this week, had a couple of winners and some losers caused by something painting over what was done- mainly the stochs...I know that it doesnt matter with the EA because it doesnt look back. Im learning.

Its hard for me to trade in the most opportune times- 12:00 A.M EST to 4:00 P.M. becasue of work. This is why im interested in the EA- an EA.

TMA True and Ultra Stoch are good if your trading manual- they only paint once, lol.

Now time to read the first post.

Thanks Again,

Dan

Excited to try out the MOM strategy this week.

I usually wouldn't ask the following question but I don't have access to my computer today.

Does K take into account the slope of the TMA Main line when checking for long/short MOM setups?

Just referring to simpleguys MOM strategy summary in post 1.

Nice one. No it doesn't. Does it need to?

Good question. I guess we'll find out after a week of testing.

EDIT: Actually I think it is needed because if we are looking at a long MOM setup, the price has to first break/hit the lower TMA line.

When it does so, the TMA might go flat or start setting up for a short MOM setup.

Another concern I have is that it may be hard to code the TMA slope properly.
Like how many bars do we use to calc the slope?

Maybe your single/slowkey MA trend detection code can be used to do this?
