The reason we were looking for shorts on that day is because the low of the 6am - 7am hour had been broken. As per Paulus original rules if the lows (or highs) are broken then you then look for a valid signal in that direction.
Hope that helps.

i have been using 2 hrs before the 7 am hour for bias, it seems to work better...will let you know after a few more weeks testing.

Hi Strada -- I have the 7am no bias trade as 7.08 and therefore a loser.Can you explain where I've gone wrong , would be much appreciated ?

No, you're not wrong, it's just my particular strategy.
If price immediately reverses against the signal price I won't enter the trade unless price comes back to the signal price and also shows a little bit of improvement. Hope that clarifies.

Crystal clear. I am aware of your variation on entry as I have read the thread however I wasen't aware that the results you provide were also based on that same variation. Many thanks for the reply and your time.

appreciate your time

@ anthm: trade times monday - 7am No Bias ~ 7.00am; 8am No Bias ~ 8.04; 7am + 8am Bias ~ 9.46.

@klw: the trades I show on here include those I personally do (which are underlined) so yes they have to be read according to my own trading rules, sorry if that hasn't been made clear.

Thanks again for posting results
Strada could you please explain why the 8.13 candle would not have been your 8am non bias signal? Instead you took 8.24 candle
regards

Hi Ant, there was a signal at 8.10 then 8.13 both of which reversed away from signal price so didn't use them, there was another change from dark red to red at 8.16 which I considered but after the 2 previous failed attempts and being 6minutes on from initial signal decided against. The 8.24 was the next signal and although price initially reversed it came back on the 8.26 bar and improved on the 8.24 close so Ok for entry.

Hi Strada,

Many thanks for posting the latest results. It seams that taking all four types of trades listed above (perhaps 1% per trade) would help to make profit at the end of each week. Will have to go through your spreadhseet to check this based on the previous results.

Hi Lana, a quick check through the first 2 "Combinations" shows 6 losing days in the last 6 weeks, but haven't worked out the accumulated gain on that so if you do manage to check it out please let us know.
I did at one stage consider "stop at win" using up to 3 trades but didn't find any advantage over using up to 2 trades.
rgds, strada.

thanks again , this is a good idea , perseverance pays!

i still work on the Ratio4 and Ratio2 50% each, for the TP

for all, please make your own stats with your ideas, or at least continue the stats yourself on excel, thats how i do, including all the precise entries prices!

to my view, the good SL is from 5 to 8

ALSO, i can share more with people who can help me to fix an EA with Moving Average, i got a version but seems no trade. a simple way i would like define cross MM with 3 TP levels and go back to BE.

the results should be good as it works manulay, just have to check if its really the same

it works manually good, but im newbie into EA. i want give a chance for EA but not a lot as many work bad for so many reasons. MP me for those who have a bit programtion abiliites

cheers
