just like the girl I took 20 pips, I actually do trade (levels) but I have not traded e/u for ages. I am currently trading e/j and I really should not be talking lol

Actually,moving average is working..
But, if we use only one indicators is not enough..
There should be 2 or more indicators to make precision moment to open trade...

Never trade when the MAs are flat i.e. horizontal. Coupled with Bollingers one can have a decently profitable system imho

anyway, the chart I posted yesterday this is a what happened....
A = candle closed below 20 ema
B = entry candle
C = this is the level I spoke about, the level was hit so I guess you could of made about 50/60 pips, I only took 20 but I was smashing e/j to bits at the time lol.

that is right what you say providing that is how you trade.. They say that a good trader can use any method and win, this is due to keeping records so you have statistics,odds probabilities to guide you

It appears people are no longer interested in this strategy therefore I won't bother sharing any more updates on our system development. Many thanks for the ones who contributed to this thread. God bless you all.
I just found this thread,and I hope you don't give up on us Shahroor. I am fairly new to trading and to FF and what I have noticed about most of the poster in the thread is a bunch of nay saying I don't now whey the even say stuff if you don't want to believe in the thread just move on and leave the rest of us in peace so we can learn from Shahroor,I don't wont to trade on the five min chart or 15 min etc I want to learn on the higher time frames. I have also been reading trading made simple and eelfranz who started the thread would just ban anyone that strayed away from his topic..
I hope to see you back Shahroor,I got this thread bookmarked,looking forward to seeing updates to this thread topic.

They lagging indicators. Yes they work but do you need a moving average to tell you the price is going up?

I get put off trading following a big move up/down especially on daily. Without trying to sound like one of the idiotic gurus who frequent trading sites with all the talk the talk BUT it is possible for e/u to long to 13180 or short 12820, these levels are a good thing to remember but the main consideration is the inside bars on the daily, I would be tempted to trade the ib breakout aggressively IF I wasn't trading e/j lol. be good

and like I say, go with the big boys. on e/u at the moment on hour chart too we have a series of inside bars also my main one is e/j we have 3 ibs on hour chart and it is edging closer to the 2/20 ema cross so for me that looks promising, lets see what happens

ib = inside bar, I will put a chart in or google it.
2/20 ema I have been trying it out and it is good, I have been trying out the 9/18/30 for 5/6 months and that is good (more pips) I am just waiting for japan market to open in 45 minutes, that is my normal trading and ibs lol

e/j one hour chart, A = the mother bar,,, and B = INSIDE BARS, these 5 inside bars <<<< the range is inside the MOTHER BAR, once the mother bar is broken you should make pips. normally if you have several inside bars together, when it breaks it normally goes very well

I prefer to trade inside bars during the uk and us session, it makes me feel better lol. But if I see lots of clues to where it might go I will follow, be good guys
