With that being said, this cloud system seems to really make excellent trades. And using it, I would never let a 10 pip winner turn into a loss anyway as that's 2-3 of my regular trades right there anyway. But that's my issue with it is because there will be losses and I need to figure out a way to let myself let the winning trades keep going. Because it seems that often, there is a cloud cross, then retrace (with candles still on the trade trigger side of the cloud), then it continues forward. So the T3MA seems to keep you in for those, but it...
I am right with you bro! i use the QuickTrailing EA to 1) scale out of 50% of my position after 10 pips and b) move the stop to break even +2 after 10 pips and c) trail the remaining 50% 8 pips after every 21 pip move.

Doing this allows me to always collect some profits and catch a few runners here and there. Protect your inventory.

Hi Sissi,

Was this a cloud breakout trade? On my chart it doesn't look like the cloud has been crossed, but that's 8,24,48 settings.

Maybe someone can learn from my mistakes...

Should have never exited this trade - I got out with a few pennies but had I followed my rules it was a 30 pipper.

You cannot loose with this system-- even with small loss (flase signal)
Looking at your last charts it seems you are using 9.26.52 parameters

Is it true?

Not much difference stick with the 8 24 48 -- or as you like see which suits you

There is so many setting they all works-- there will be loss in all of them-- play around with it and see which work best for your trading style-- I am not hiding anything

Just started trading this on demo last couple of days but really been getting chewed up and spat out.

I'm using 15pip range bars and finding it's sometimes more than 30 pips to the other side cloud breakout for SL. Stop losses have been hit many times so it's been difficult to get back my losses with the couple wins I've had.

Are people still using the idea of setting stop loss at other side of cloud for a reverse breakout or are people using tighter stops?

Anyway, I will post some charts when I get home this evening.

Thanks for the system, visual backtesting, it looks really good. I suspect my issues are down to my own TP / SL techniques.

Thanks!

I am personally testing out different sl levels because for my MM comfort. I usually use 30pip stop. Unfortunately I haven't been on the winning end at the end of a week yet, but that could also be because I can't seem to allow the winners to keep going. It does look like the other side is still the best option, but if your MM doesn't allow that, test other levels to see what works best for you. Just a suggestion.
