hmm

according to my 15 min charts, price went back up to test the open, meaning open-2(BE) should have got taken out
Not saying your wrong, I would like to understand where the difference comes from.

Care to post the chart? I've checked on Alpari and Oanda and both had Open = High. One was 1.23737 and the other 1.23745.

Unless I got the open time wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was 1.5hours ago.

here's my chart from pepperstone

Second m15 candle didn't hit the open, true...but it definately should have taken out open-2pips. Did you survive this because you didn't move the SL to BE too quickly?

Anyway, enjoy your ride down=)

I see what you are saying. I left the BE to after 10 pips+. I see that at just over 3 pips you could have made it. So I did a check and I have the default for one click orders set to 2 pips, which is wrong, should have been 0.8 pips for the trade.

Thanks for pointing it out.

I've tested jrodatus's EA which is found here, and Zen Leow's EA which is found here. jrodatus's EA once took at trade at 8am and then another trade at 8:30; also one time it did not close a trade at -2 pips. Zen Leow's EA has run perfectly over the last 2 months of testing.
Thanks - this is a very helpful post.

I've been using this system for about 5 months. My advice is do not use your no references, only the initial opening.

The market is not random, but there are random events in the market. You may find references valid and patterns, but applied to this system is a task that needs too many variables to be paid attention.

Utilize the system as it is written, and you'll end up making money.

Place the graph in 5 seconds and just watch the opening movements for a few seconds. Open an operation as a function of the initial direction you see it subjectively.

It is not identifying the exact movement. This system is a system based on risk management, but also do an interpretation of the movement, we will have more chances of success.

Use oanda demo platorm and you'll able to see 5 secs.

Lol I'm a fucking rookie but you know, I have invested some effort here and it all paid off.

In case anyone is curious, I currently live in a pension with a pinscher (breed of dog). This has helped me out of the hole. Not only the opening of both markets, but the concept of maximum power in a few pips, and the experience of hours of observation to find the most probable points.

If anyone wants advice, pass hours using this, before it sinks everything and you go out in your helicopter.

Trading these big lots... it's a good feeling. I don't know but ... I don't know many people putting a 6M$ transaction waking up at 8am. I'm afraid to see what's next for me... in a few years. All that is with leverage of course but still. I was watching a tv show showing a 157M$ house the other day, still so far from balling like those people with my 6 digits but I'm happy and very surprised to have taken it to this level. I feels good. And yes I had to say it. Why? cause it feels good. People will say look at him he thinks he's all that! ha! Well I'll reply to you like my sister would reply.. ''He thinks he's all that! -Well you know what? He is!'' Live your dreams! Wake up and live! Make it happen! It's all on you! Anything is possible! Don't just sit there and die! Do something! MAKE IT HAPPEN DREAMMMMMM ON! YOU CAN DO IT ! IT'S YOUR LAST LIFE! IT'S YOU YOU YOU ONLY YOU. GO. GET UP AND DO IT. REJECT IS BETTER THAN REGRETS. LIVE LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST DAY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR LAST DAY IS! ok enought with the drinks

Thanks Tony! That sentence means alot to me.
There's a chick that im interested in but she happens to return back to her country in couple years time.
Thus i basically am not doing anything about it. But now that i've seen what you just said, know what? I must do something abt it.

I don't think i can live with regrets or what ifs! Thank you.
Whether you can or you can't, you are both right.

That my friend, i believe is the secret. I utitlize the concept you just laid out as well, filters out the more probable trades from the less.

One qns though, any period that you will let the price run for? E.g. If 3 mins no strong move will you just wait for the next session to trade?

Thus how many mins will you allow it?
Whether you can or you can't, you are both right.

hi guys...now, i'm quite prepared to wear the dunce hat here, as it's probably some simpleton error i'm overlooking. But am I the only one who can't get zen's EA working? It's not placing any trades and the journal is showing as per the image below.

Lol definitely do something... if you only knew how Tony is also a very good coach in the ladies... I can once recall the last time I saw a girl at my job back in the days. She worked there for only a few weeks and I was so hesitant when it comes to ladies and work. I didn't wanna mix both but for her, I had a plan. I plan to invite her and make her my wife. One of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen in my life. Hypnotizing and rare to me... On a foggy hot day in the summer back then I recall her blurry image and silhouette outside of the glass doors of the high-rise where I was working at... a nice silhouette that got lost in the fog, cause I hesitated. I didn't know at first if it was her. The next Monday after, I learned that she had quit. No contacts. Bosses remained the most confident and private. Colleagues nor her so-called new friends had ever obtained her phone no. Internet researches and many other ways lead to nothing but regret and deep regret. I can still recall it cause I knew how nice this girl was. On another note, I can't say that my life is regret in general because I take what I want and never hesitate. For girls, remember... it just takes a '' Hello '' that's all. I used to find a random girl attractive on the street and just say Hello. That hello took things very far. Once again as the rules to this thread, simplicity wins all the time. Look at advertising. People like simple things, not paragraphs in advertisements. They go for something catchy, simple. Life is complicated cause we make it like that. It's a matter of perspective. Do what works and for that girl, well you have nothing at all to lose ... I think. Unless you already have a wife.

I'd hardly say stupid, after all - look how many you're teaching

I was just testing the ea for curiosity sake. I'm quite content running this manually.

Thanks for all your brilliant work Tony!

No honestly even with other type of scripts on the net, I always thought of myself as a lazy and so primary person to not invent or analyse a script. That has also thought me a lesson when I used to miss the epic wins of the NY and LO after all those party nights back then. But you know what that has also made me stay all these infinite hours in front of the screen and get a real feel of the market. Believe me, I hear it breathe. I even dream about it often. No offence I think that it might be possible to trade with a script but the script will not be a difficult one to code... not that much. Some guys did set up some through the thread but you would have to search and probably perfect it somehow. Use the rules on page no 1, no other.

i can only assume the settings are wrong.

if you would give a screenshot of your EA variables, i'll go through them.
