Darren, you have my vouch for sharing this great strategy!
for countertrend you have to know how S/R cycles work and how to draw proper S/R...and I haven't seen anyone on here come close.

very nice... if i could make a variation, it would be to only step the stop loss when the close was in the direction of the trade.... but great im gonna play with this!!! thanks
Hi Darren,

attached you'll find the modified version of the trailing EA. I posted my request in the "Platform Tech" section and RaptorUK did the modification.
I tested it and it works perfecty!!

The stoploss is now only stepped if the candle close was in the direction of the trade. The feature is also made optional.

Have fun with it!

Hi 60,

Does GKFX support spread betting? I think i need to go down that route for tax purposes.

Thanks,

Great. I was doing demo on FXCM. I think I will now move to GKFX and then see if I can go live with Buy and SELL

Thanks

Sounds really cool bro. I have never used an EA. Tried attaching this to a trade but didn't seems to do anything. It must be that I really don't know how to use it. Could you please lay out the steps of using this EA. Starting with creating a trade. An example graphic would even be better.
I am on demo so there is no hurry. Please reply at your convenience.

Thanks.

watch that mid-night h1 on gold... its when the exchange switches and it can be a bit erratic... see that gap..

other than that, was a loser... gold has been ok this week though, made some nice pippage on it

a) When price closes nearly halfway up the range of the signal bar, it is a lower-probability trade.
b) Despite being below the MA, the trend that preceded the signal bar was not solid.
c) Even if everything had set up perfectly, some trades will not be winners. "That's trading."

Thanks 60. I will definitely keep an eye out for midnight and will try not to trade then. I also find that with GOLD being 5 pip spread is a hard bargain to drive. I am sure you have done well in Gold but, when I look at the 1H chart, I see a lack of trend for the past week making it very difficult to decide a long/short bias.

Thanks California.

So, how much of the range should do we ideally want to get covered in the signal bar to increase the probability of the trade?
Yes, I realise Gold was not a solid trend. Hence, I asked the question to ensure that I wasn't missing any other reasons.
Finally, yes, I do realise that we will have a portion of the trade that are unsuccessful regardless of the method, hence trading. I am just trying to learn how to minimise this possibility.

The more, the better. Backtesting will allow you to become an expert.

ok im a bit confused about the bars you are taking. the rule states that the bar you take should be an engulfing bullish outside or bearish outside bar. some of the entries you take are just bullish or bearish bars. they do not 'engulf'. did i miss something? the question kept nagging at me though im only at the 138 page of the forum. can someone please shed some light here. thanks.
