DislikedSorry I misunderstood your question earlier. We stripped some of the bells and whistles out of the indicators so they would use less memory. Here is a version that does have the warning for breaking the upper and lower bands. I also set the numbers to match the slop of this system. The bands were made tight so that price would go outside of the bands warn you and then you take the trade as it comes back in. Never developed the lower TF trading with this system. The 2.23 was the last date it was adjusted.Ignored
DislikedA trick I've been using is to have the auto-trade EA set on all the pairs but only trading .01 lots. So the robot will take a (miniscule) trade and then I can have a look to see where it has entered and decide to take the trade or not with full lot sizes. It's kind of like an alert system.Ignored

DislikedHi Jemook,
On what TF you set EA. I think it's kind of risky just before big news release isn't it.
PS. The idea is nice anywayIgnored
QuoteDislikedThere is no way in the world that an EA can come better than within hailing distance of Bob's skill as a trader. What it does do brilliantly is: monitor the markets all day round; remove the human emotion element from trading. Let's see how close we can drag NB to being as good as its system designer.
DislikedMake sure you use 10.2 5.1 MA SELL ANY TF SHFM 5.11
Note the bold 5.1 this is the BLUE MA. The 5.3 and 5.5 are used if you want to trigger off the 2 other MA's.Ignored
DislikedNot to argue but I also like fundamental rebalancing and being on the correct side of the market. Your system puts us there, keeps you there, and allows to get out and back in to the main move. I love how well your system puts one on the correct side. At he end of he move he small loss to what is earned is a cost of doing business. I truly was not criticizing yor system. I think it is great. I agree and think this may end up being a larger rebalancing of currency than 2008 and 2010.Ignored

DislikedIt missed my TP by 2 pips so I lost a bunch of pips, closed at 37 manually. Would have had over 75. Sometimes I wonder about brokers but cant prove that one . I almost always manually close trades because TP too often seemed to just get missed.Ignored

DislikedI dont know if you have a 5 digit or 4 digit broker. If it is 5 digit that is very cheap and is 1.3-1.5 spread. If it is a 4 digit of 13-15 pips you will see these on some exotic pairs like gbp/nzd but that is not normal for standard pairs.
I dont consider spreads. I just enter when it seems appropriate. IBFX has good spreads and to me the difference between 2.2 and 3.5 is not worth fighting over.Ignored
