Hi guys,

Is there anyone here from the UK using this method? What broker do you use?
I have been demo(ing) on Alpari and Fxcm. Fxcm seems to have better spread but with small capitals you have to use their trading platform. With Alpari I can use MT4 but their spreads aren't the best.

Any suggestions.

I know this is off topic, but trying this EA is what triggered this question.

Thanks,
K

I am from Germany indeed, but I can recommend Pepperstone. They have nice spreads and very fast execution (Razor account).
But if I was in the UK I would trade through a spread betting account due to tax issues.

Can access Oanda? During the NY session I rarely pay more than 1.2 spread for E/$ & $/Y. May 2.5-3 on some crosses but I don't trade them anymore.
edit: you can have a demo and live acct at the same time; they pay interest (not much!) on unused funds too.

On a similar note. I use Mac's. I haven't found a good solution yet for using MT4. I realise that MT4 has a lot of indicators and customisation that could help me in trading but this system looks simple enough to the traded on broker web platforms directly. So a question or your opinions really:

1. Invest in getting a windows machine which allows easy MT 4 access
2. Don't bother with MT4 and use broker platform
3. Use Mac and MT4 (in that case please let me know if you have any knowledge how to get this working successfully).

Thanks for indulging my questions which are not directly related to this system.

Do you guys take signals even when RSI is over bought or over sold. An example attached:

Just realised, OANDA doesn't offer spread betting option. That means that gains are taxable. Wouldn't want to go down that route. But, thanks for the suggestion.

Hi kash,

I do not pay attention to RSI at all...all that matters is price action and proper money management.

Hi Olarian - I have tried to run a strategy test on my MT4 platform - no luck. I am getting a load of the following error messages.

Hi Viv,

the EA I shared is only for trailing the stoploss (exits). You cannot run it through the strategy tester. I always enter manually.

Hi,

Yea, I tried parallels. No problems with that except for the memory and resources used in the background. I do a lot of heavy comput besides trading for my day job. But none the less thank you for the suggestion.

Seems everyone is doing well with BuySell Line trading at the moment. Just closed a GBPJPY trade this morning. 50% off at 2 Risk Reward and the rest came off at just under 5RR.

Not sure if the entry was according to the rules as I drilled down to M15 for an engulfing entry. Price has just crossed, then rejected a weekly resistance and I wanted to make sure it didn't leave the station without me! As it turns out I could still have got an entry on H1, but obviously the RR wouldn't have been quite as good. Entry and exit shown below.

Two other trades still open at the moment, both stops at b/e, so we'll see how they do?
