Lot of chop on the 4H. The Daily would have been great early this year but it's been a mess since August. It looks like it may be widening a bit so perhaps better days are ahead.
That is where you would just park a couple limit orders..... one on each side of the price range and wait for the breakout.....

Might still be a lot of chop coming out of that range like there was going in. But with the recent bullish news on the Kiwi, it may well be setting up to break south.

Just take the highest high and lowest low + a little ... if it gets hit mind your money management and it would be worth taking the shot.
Just a thought. as to you trend following.... I like it... looks close to what I do, I just don't do MACD.

Check your settings. Do you have "equity" or "balance" checked.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course if that doubles again in a few days or week, we would both look the fool..

Well, if you trade a system, you trade it.

If I take profit and run...then what. According to my signals, I should still be in the trade. Should I wait for another signal to enter. Why enter on that new signal if I ignored the fact that I should have stayed in originally.

Once a trend reverses, there will be drawdown before the exit. That's not fun, but inevitable with a trend system. But I am using discretioin with my entries and exits as mentioned before.

Sure, but not much to see. As I mentioned my stops are 300 pips. They should never get hit though.

I assume you know how to use indicators.

Right-click your chart, select 'indicator list', double-click 'positions calculator'. That opens up your settings screen. Make your adjustments.

Check out all those JPY crosses retracing.

Yen is still weak, so might be a good opportunity to add on. I'll be looking to go long if the trends resume and break those previous highs.

If not, then we may be looking at a trend change, but nothing in the news would indicate that yet.

Try going into the options and resetting. When you copy the indi over from one chart to the other it keeps the original settings which obviously don't make much sense on the new chart. Once you do that it should change (for example the "UsdJpy") to the current chart.
Hello Mr. Spyderman
Is it possible that you did not include the position size calculator in your zip file ?
That particular indicator is rather difficult to code and I was wondering if you may have purchased a version
which is not accessible otherwise.

At any rate, I could find nothing in your zip file which suggests a PSC

Please advise

Cheers

Try this one. It may work better for you. One is figured on account equity and the other on account balance. You can set it to figure off of number of pips stoploss or a particular price level.
