Nothing up at all! Just found the algo's to change quite a lot and discovered the 15min to work well, in particular the TP is normally 1:1 so taking the stop from the SUB to give the TP, it can lead to substantially more points...

Anyway, no worries, keep bagging those points!


How's Krym today anyhow?!

hey guys I really do apologize it's not out yet as promised but pls be patient, I still have some unresolved issues with it and I'm working on it. Testing some things (slippage control, RR re-adjustment etc) require the market to be moving so I'm waiting as well. If you want to speed up my progress, call the Tokyo boys to play some pretty vortex moves; that's all you can do ;-). I'll not post here until it's out and appeal to anyone interested to do the same regarding the ea. I will also PM all those who PM'd me or shown interest with a link...
Tritom,
are you still alive ?
quess we are not supposed to wait any longer for that EA...

I hope you just went for the 10pip profit, you might have just scraped in.http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
I make it about 13pips less 2.2 = 10.8 on my M5 chart,
but the M1 chart had room for 23pips less 2.2 = 20.8
I didn't look for that trade at the time, because I was thinking down trend with the lower swing low

hi marian,

as there's no pair and price info on your chart, it's hard to relate to.
please ensure these are visible on your posted charts in future.

thanks.

Div uses 2B reversals similar to that one.

that's why it is called 2B setup or 'the spring' but not 123 setup
The '2B' reversals are among the most
panic-driven chart patterns and trading setups.... alot different than 123

I do not like a counter trend, but after a lateral movement as a way out of the flat can be traded.

here is yet 1 more reason to trade pullbacks even in a crappy trend like today
hey, this trade was a winner after you entred but then it went into negative. does this happen alot?

i know the new system is TP 15pips but how did you determine the TP in the old system?

madetrader,

read back in the thread: SL is determined by last swing high/low, TP is determined by next level or rather regarding the SL-distance (best using 1:1).
