Scaling out is exactly what I have been thinking about as the system is already at B/E or better by the time TP1 is hit, so why give up a few extra pips?

My stupid mind then starts asking me questions, like what if you hit TP1 and some of your position is scaled out and the trade goes back to B/E or better? Think of those lost pips you numb nut!

I then went back and re read trading in the zone and my latest tough read reading price charts bar by bar by Al Brooks and these guys advocate a similar approach backed by the fact that the odds are...
Once again.....it is NOT part of the system rules. What I hoped to achieve is to "plant a seed" and hopefully get some traders to take a critical look at the effect of proper trade managent and look for ways to gain a few extra pips out of a trade with the same risk.

If you take a simple spreadsheet and note the max positive pips and max negative pips/trade , you will soon get a picture regarding optimum stop size and what you can do grab a few extra pips per trade. You can use this same information to get a view on whether first entries (first signal when trend change) or re-entries run further.... maybe there is no pattern?

What is the average potential gain on all trades? First signal and re-entries?

You only have to do it for 4-6 weeks on a pair , maybe pick EU to get an idea.

Whatever you do as a trader on your own steam to improve your trading fortunes will have far more value in the end than just waiting for the " latest updates" to the system.

This is not part of the system and i don't trade it it to a T, so apologies if this interferes with your thread Peter. I had to pop on after Gleneagles posted his thoughts and analysis to affirm that the space between my ears is not so empty after all :nerd:

Thanks for your insight Gleaneagles

Don`t be scared to use that space

1. Thanks for the update.
2. Did Gleneagles backtest this system with any Expert Advisor or manually?
If you or Glen have a working EA I will be glad to help with Optimization I am specialized with.
I use a software program very similar to EA.

What you said is right (in general), but I think Peter already made this study, before setting his rules about SL/TP of the pairs to trade with his system...
That's why we are grateful to him for the great effort made..
Don't you think so?

Very glad to see you here .

There have been no addons to the system that i am aware of . The indicators are the same as initially , only i hope that the last main indy , because it combines 3 indyes(3 loops) into 1 indy(1 loop) will be faster . working on offline charts does take a bit of cpu power , and unless you have a supercomputer, if you start testing 10 pairs at the same time , you will block you`re mt4 in no time .
About creating an EA for the system , it has allready been done by dragos , but be my guest to backtest it on 10 minutes...
Backtesting on 5M with adjusted indicators will give you a fairly accurate result as well.

Peter did a great job producing a profitable system and spend a lot of his time (with help from a few traders) backtesting and tweaking.

My question to you would be....it is fair to sit back and expect him to do ALL the hard work ?

Minor issue with the BB MACD -- I see plenty of cases (e.g. in EURJPY) where the value is less than 0.0005 and it's not yellow -- whereas some of the yellow values are 0.005 or more. Haven't dug through the code enough to see why.

I see a potential error in the BB_MACD code:
Inserted Code
   for(int i = 0; i < limit; i++)
       bbMacd[i] = iMA(NULL, 0, FastLen, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, i) - 
                   iMA(NULL, 0, SlowLen, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, i);
                   
         sslHup1[i] = iCustom(NULL,levdr,"",0, 3,i);                                 
         sslHdn1[i] = iCustom(NULL,levdr,"", 0, 4,i);
//----
   for(i = 0; i < limit; i++)
The sslHup1/sslHdn1 lines are not included in the first for loop -- there are no { }s so only the bbMacd line is in the for -- so they're using the value of i after the first for completes. So it's setting sslHup1/sslHdn1[limit]. Is that intended? (And what does it mean to call iCustom with an indicator of "" ??)

Could I request some comments in there? I'm still not sure what code sets the yellow dots...

Does the "FRATELLI" symbol at the end of the chart signify anything important? I loaded the template on 4 charts and only 1 of them shows the symbol.

Don't know about anyone else but I still have issues with the offline chart. Price showing incorrectly but perfect on normal m5 and H1 charts for the same pair.

I wish I could give you an answer.

But I dont know what you talking about..

When it comes to coding I am very limited.

But I am sure that Micky will give you aanswer.
He is in Poland now but will return home shortly.

So please hang on, we will come back to you.

we have forward tested those indys last week, and we did not see any problems.

That does not mean, everything is fine we can missed something.

thanks

Peter

Not at all of course (and I gave my very little help to him @the start of his thread).... But he already did the hard work....

Then experienced and skilled traders like you (extensive backtesting), Deankenny (indicators & forward live testing) & MickyMouse (indicators) helped him (and us all) to fine tune the system...

We can only thank you all for the good work & partecipate in exstensiv forward live testing... eventually pointing out some technical problem or discussing here some doubts wich could arise from real live trading......
What else...?

Thanks Peter - what's your skype name ?

I've set up offline charts before when using constant range bars so I know how to do it. I just think there's something flaky in MT4 offline charting. It's a shame that the best results are on a non standard time frame.
