Morning Pippo,
If I'd had the bird dogs loaded on the charts, I don't think I would have placed the AJ trade.....It sure doesn't look good now....GJ is still wandering...
Last chicken house to set up today, grandson in to help with that and do some grass cutting for me.....starting to dry out alittle...
I may kill the AJ trade when I come back in for lunch

Mornin' whip, Yes, I think it's a good idea to close A/J...Yesterday's candle left two dogs pointing up....Thinking about it, it just looks best/safest to enter with and not trade/hold against 2/3 majority. At times there will be conflicting signals, as in the G/J close above Red down TL, with dogs still pointing down....At times trend will resume after the dogs have taken us out, with the SL not having been seriously challenged. Sometimes it will cost us pips, but on balance(looking back over several years of manual back testing on H4, and one year on D1 over several pairs), it will save us pips. Probably best to trust the dogs...Don't know why I ever took them off of my charts. I like the 1,2,3 ratio we are using. FTLR, closed several more trades today. Two had been at L2 and were closed at b/e. A third was closed at profit.....EDIT=====IBFX showing A/J D1 2/3 dogs down after yesterday's close, MBT only 1/3. Always a wrinkle somewhere......Always liked IBFX's daily candle start time....

Here we go again....G/J D1. If today's candle closes below down TL, will place an order to Sell a few pips below L of candle at .50 standard position size, in this case, 1% of acct. balance. Will fill to completion a few pips below the L of April 16....If it gets there...G/J H4 order already standing...at L of 08:00 GMT candle....minus a few pips. EDIT======Have just pulled G/J H4 pending...Will rethink H4 trade at close of 08:00 GMT candle tomorrow.

FTLR H1 has been trading very well...Currently G/J B at L2, and a U/Chf near TP.

My FTLR is the same, working on a Cable trade ATM....And the good thing is your version and my version are very different and trading on 2 different TF's...Great piece of software....

Well, I've gone and done it again...Unloaded on my feet with both barrels of my Beretta......Set my G/J H4 entry at 126.69, instead of 126.89(3 pips lower than L of 08:00 GMT close)...Absentminded!!!!!!

Looks like E/U, and A/U shorts may be entering a consolidation phase...Tireless, and highly efficient, these Spinoni. Watching them closely. ......BOJ chatter sent Yen soaring??????

You should see what my feet look like!! And I don't have anything as good as a Beretta

Morning whip, I will be closing all trades at noon today except for the E/U perma short. Will widen the stop on this one...YY at 2.33 Kv. If you have only the G/J D1 short open, you could hold it on spec, but I would widen stop placement to Kv 2.33.

Morning Pippo,
Baby chicks in and settled, so it's food, water and heat now and watch them grow.....First re-till of the garden yesterday and still a little wet, but not bad....Will have to do it again before planting...

EDIT==== Be careful a small hurricane headed up your way.....

The 30 in. plastic lattice fence I put around my newly planted garden every year is a non negotiable matter, according to the rabbits. The birds are another thing. There is just something about the leaf of a seedling fluttering in the breeze that fills them with desire...About to put a spike in the center of my plot and tether the neighbors cat to it, or better yet, one of these Red Tailed hereabout. If I can catch one......Replaced 1/2 dozen plants already. However,"All's well that ends well." Some for me. Some for the birds. EDIT======G/J H4 short marching in place.....
