The7 Trading System

You dont have to enter every single signal. Be creative. Watch other factors like support and resistance levels for confirmation. Watch the wick size if you like.

Hey everybody - looks interesting - I am currently trading a 10 EMA Day system - however in ranging periods its really hard.

My question:

Do you exit as soon has the price closes out of the 5 EMA (high or low) at the opposite direction of your trade?

So lets say:
You entered short - do you exit the trade as soon as price closes above 5 EMA High?

I have few buddies who like to exit when the price touches the other side of the channel, not me..I always like to ride...It is up to you.
If this is not beautiful, I dont know what is...

Well, better let it not be up to what you "like". Better use the method that gets you more profit.

Candle may touch -> 255% annual profit
Candle must not touch -> 212% annual profit

. Stop Loss is high/low from last candle.

Lets start rolling...
hi THE7!Hello THE7! What do you mean " last candle '' for SL? It is an signal candle, which was closed in the channel, or a candle by it previous? Thanks.[/quote]


THE7, thank you a lot for sharing your system. Good work.
Could you clarify the question above. Thank you!

In the past. Tweaking the parameters for best performance in the past too much almost ensures worse performance in the future. Make a little experiment - select any system you like and optimize it on a reasonably large period of historical data in order to get the best possible result. Then select another reasonably large period and run a test with the optimized settings. I'd be very surprised if you get the same results.
That said, ever thought that maybe being up to what you like is the method that gets you more profit?
This is interesting..... Looking at a weekly using the 5ema H/L looks AMAZING. Can someone run a backtest on the EA using a weekly chart? This might have some legs...

This might work really well in equities also.... Intersted to see the backtest results using the weekly with the same rules.

Hopefully someone better at coding, EA's, etc. then me can figure out how to run that test.

Thanks
very nicely done
cheers

That's right, but the results are not "in the past". They are from a walk forward analysis. Otherwise they would be rather meaningless.

The Walk Forward Optimization method I'm using is explained here: http://zorro-trader.com/manual/en/training.htm

The system loses about 900 pips/year on weekly bars with the 3 tested assets.

Have to agree. I've been running through my charts and nzdusd seems to be one of the best for the system. Ready to go short on this one.

Yep short it is NU is already very high and the trend is shifting so looks like a nice entry for short!
Early in the trade LONGS - GBPJPY, AUDJPY, CADJPY, EURJPY, EURUSD, EURGBP

Early in the trade SHORTS - GBPCHF, NZDUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD

Might be missing a few but it looks like all of these could be opened today following the rules of the system.
I don't think its a short on UC. Blue bar...

True, I forgot about the bar rule.

Just running through a few pairs and I see a number that have gone upwards of 200 pips in our favour before turning round and hitting full stop loss before opposite signal appears , may be we should be thinking of going to breakeven when up about 100 pips or so, I think I would struggle to get my head round this if I was up that amount only to see it turn into a loss, what do you guys think?

Then you have entries and exits nearly every day, because nearly every candle closes inside the channel. Why is it, do you think, that so many people are having difficulty understanding what you are doing? Is it all of us? Why not clarify? Such as, if candle exits the channel to the downside, when it comes back up and closes inside the channel I go long. Something like that? Anything? Just "if candle closes inside the channel I enter the trade" tells us nothing about direction; which way did the candle enter the channel from? Which way did you...
Very simple and straight-forward system...and, of course, I like it! If GREEN candle opens outside 5 ema hi-lo channel, and closes inside 5 ema hi-lo channel...GO LONG. (with both feet if candle is a pin bar, bullish engulfing, etc) If RED candle, vice-versa (no, that's not Italian)!

Finally, a system I can sink my teeth (upper plate anyways) into! I'm in!!
Dreamliner it's in the 1st post. OP is not saying that we just close inside the candle. The candle must 1st open outside the channel and close inside. Pretty simple imo.
