First of all thank you smilee89 for sharing your system. I am currently trying it out. I just came across this setup GBP/JYP. The trade would end up with a loss of 75 pips (the purple line down). Can you give me your opinion. Should we take into consideration when the pair is within a ranging market and watch whether is it a fake breakout? Thanks. {image}
You did right.
fortunately, I missed it.

Hi smilee89,

Did you leave 0.5 trade size on @ your examples? Or did you close them completely at once @ 20 pips profit?

I mostly close all at 20, since I don't have it automatically, but sometimes I divide the trade to 2 X 0.5 lot.

Aren't you in any way bothered by the fact that you're risking a whole lot more than your possible gain?

I am!
This is the reason why I ask for an EA.
It will give me the option to backtest it for a long time.

Ok, so the reason you want the ea is so that you can figure out a profitable sl / ratio?

Hey smilee89,

Do you enter immediate if the next Heiken ashi bar is higher/ lower than the 'first bar that closes outside engulfing bar'? This happens when the previous bar closing high and continue to move higher next bar.

What pairs do you trade. Im testing (demon acc) on 13 pairs and in trade for 5 pairs and sell stop pending for 3 pairs.

Yes, but not just it.
I want to figure out the TP for each pair, maybe using other SL or trailing it.
Much more to come, but it needs to be with an EA.

The EA is in work, i still fighting some bugs, but it looks promising

In that Test the 2 loss trades wouldnt be according to the rules, its an error...

I am testing this strategy and looks good , but i have an idea . Why not open position with the close of the candle out side the formation than wait for the break of the high part of the candle . I think this would be better ,

Hello,

I am looking into this thread and starting to catch up on it... I MIGHT be able to code this EA.

The system sounds pretty decent from what I have read and I could obviously add on my own touches as well.

I'm not an excellent programmer, but I might be able to get it done. It would definitely take some time though.
