This system seems to be dangerous in the period from May to August 2011, even with the 15 bars for the trading range ?

doarisu, for you -0.66% is dangerous for your account?

If you compare with results from September 2011 to date, this means nothing.

Zebulon.

Thank you very much for this interesting strategy.

I'm following your thread a few days ago and today I made my first entry in EURUSD at 1.30878 with SL at 1.31878. Attached image.

I don't take previous orders in EURUSD because I didn't the strategy?

Is correct my entry at this point?

Thank you very much.
Yes it's correct if you mean entry long at 1.31878

The enemy is the range, but we can avoid a part of it.
But i don't understand why you have losses with more than 120 pips, impossible with the strategy...

You can see on this chart we enter short the 1st november at the open of this candle at 1.3814.
Why ? Because the candle before closed more than 100 pips from the EMA 50.
Hi Zebulon! I have a question. If we will assume someone only starts to trade on your strategy, and he still doesn't have open trades, whether that will be a sufficient condition for opening of the first trade the first closing of the previous candle more than 100 pips from EMA50 or it is necessary to take history in attention and enter only after the previous trade on backtest has been closed on SL?. Thanks.

As you can see, if i have missed the first entry (candle close 100 pips from 50 EMA), i would take the 2d entry when price touch 50 EMA.
I prefer jump in the train even if i didn't take it at the beginning.

good and simple system. i usually trade yen pairs on lower TF's. but i might give this a look. i usually define the trend by looking for stochastics 14 hitting 80/20 instead of an arbitrary pip value

one thing i might look at with this is defining my entries on a lower TF and being more aggressive. throw up a RSI 7 and keep a lookout for a 50 cross. then use 1 hour TF with CCI and DMI to go with the 4 hour trend.

how much back testing and trading have you done for this system? sorry if u covered that already

good suggest, perhaps you can open your own thread (once done, let me know) incorporating zeb's concept... so that this thread won't be mixing up with other indicators... that possible could confuse the original trading method to other traders.

i'm too lazy to start my own thread. this seems like a good way to stick a dart on a trend though.

true.... Please, let's try to understand and use the main idea..... if anyone has any suggestion, can share with the thread owner by PM or can start new thread... in this way.... it'll remain clean, at least for the newbies like me....

2 mida-touches on the 2nd n 3rd entries!
unbelievable!
cant imaging how you do that!
right spot, right timing!

question:
you dont seem to consider the candlestick formation, like both entries were made even thou they were bear candles?
or shall one wait for bull candles to form as in this case a uptrend?

thanks for your time.
cheers

The numbers represent the net difference . The stops are in correspondence of the horizontal lines .

Hi Zebulon,
Have you hit S/L in any pair?? I've got hit.... in all three pairs.... in two pairs for seemingly my fault or not following the rule properly and in one pair seemingly following the rule properly.... and in all three pairs, after hitting S/L price again moved in the duration of my position.... EU- two positions still on rally.... one position- the entry one... got hit for my fault..... GU-- got hit and no position is open now.... EJ pair is my most loosing pair.... lost 200 pips in 2 positions...... my entry wasn't 100% accurate though....

Are all the three pairs (you're using for this strategy) still in a trend?? specially eu and gu??
