I tested it and it is really simple and neat strategy. I attached it to my EAS trade charts for additional income
Thanks Hermes

I'm also in at 1.2889.

Generally I try to trade as follows: Trailing the first position on the 50 or 100 sma and trail all addons at the 8 ema. So I've got both worlds, take advantage of the whole move on a trend, but not give to much back on the addons. What do you think?
Talking of Aud/Nzd, I had a position open from last week with Vantage, the spread just jumped from 4 to 19 and closed me out, spread now back down to 7 so the position would still be open.

Pepperstone has a spread of 9.4 on that pair now, usually around 3 or 4 in the UK daytime.

Yes, set it to 8,3,3. Those are just the default settings for the indicator.

Hi Hugh, Sometimes the Enemy of Good is Perfect. I have spent the last couple of weeks reading lots of "stuff", and struggling with computer issues. I always come back to your site. It is the best.
Thanks for your advice. I've been thinking and reading a lot recently and some of the enhancements to the original system have some merit but I'm thinking now it makes sense to just go back to the original system with the dual time frame aspect and trade it. Glad you like the thread.

Looks like a good trade. Remember to get to break even fairly quickly as the hourly stochs are low already. If you get stopped out then the first pullback should be a good trade too.

I've got eurusd 50 pips up and at break even. Waiting for the first pullback to add on. Looks like there's a trendline forming there too. I've put fibonacci on the daily move to see where it could possibly go.

Also got audnzd which I let run overnight with a trailing stop behind an ma and I'm 40 pips up on that now too so got to break even. Nearly got stopped out overnight but shot up a few hours ago.

I'll watch these pairs during the day today and post if anything happens.

I'm also BE on AUD/NZD. Looks like we can do a nice addon on the current candle if stoch is crossing.

One question, Hugh: Do you run your EA on a VPS server or let you running it on your home pc?

Be careful with this audnzd, it looks a bit choppy but may give another entry today.

Just on my home pc or a laptop with mobile broadband if I am travelling, after all it only needs to move the stop once an hour.

I have added on to eurusd. Not the best entry I've ever taken, more of a ma bounce/breakout trade than a system trade but it's at break even now so no worries.

Dear Hugh,

Do you have guidelines for yourself how many times you would add trades to a trade?
To get more profit, not the entry but the exit will make the big difference

Dear Hugh,

Do you have guidelines for yourself how many times you would add trades to a trade?
As many times as it pulls back. This usually means you will lose money on your last trade of the position but on a good long trend you will have hundreds of pips locked in anyway so a 30 pip loser won't be too much of a worry.

It would have been better to wait for the pullback to end, stochs cross, etc. It's bounced off the 200 sma so after the pullback take another trade and if it breaks the 200 sma and closes below it you could add on there.

Stopped at break even on my first add on, I'll wait for a good setup before I add on again.

Yes D1 looks good and I am waiting to add off H1 if Stochastics turn down and HA turn red.

What timeframe did you get the sell signal on?

It is my life interfering again - as I have to go to the office - so I pick my spots with one eye on the clock....

My first purchase after I get those PIPs rolling in will be a tablet or phone with DATA so I can monitor at the office...

If you set yourself up a free 'Logmein' account you can manage your trades at home from the office, I've been doing it for about a week now and it seems to work really well.
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.
