... EA is an invaluable tool to assist you in trading ....... Forex is about discipline and sound money management both of which many of us lack.

{quote} its not about speech, it really floods the thread...i asked him to develop and share here. besides, i did many back-testing..some tests didn't even bring any trade. EA is too complicated. no ATR needed there for instance. moreover, I am more than sure people won't trust EA, the wont trade it in real...many are newbies here.
Look up the words - Discretionary, Advisory, Optional

quote "won't trust EA" - The code is there before your eyes.

quote "I am really not happy with some users adding additional stuff on this method and thread takes too much attention on the EA rather than trading etc. "

quote "look Dave...i wont like a situation where you and bunch of guys develop EA based on this method but then not sharing it on this thread. No stealth mode here. As much as this thread is public anything started and developed from it hast be be shared here as well."

Your own words - what gives. I asked you to contact me by email to avoid this stuff but you never did.

Anyway the EA is below and is discretionary, advisory and optional (JPY handled correctly) Please send me a personal email to discuss it because of the above comments. Make sure you look back to Post 293 before emailing me.

{quote} Did PhilippineFX did this with success? It seems easier to say but difficult to do.
The word easy does not appear in any of my posts. This is anything but easy. FX is a difficult skill to master and i am a long way from saying I have.
When i started trading I ground it out with the obligatory 1 to 3 risk reward and never putting 1% of the account at risk. For that i needed to find trades with 45 pips to the upside with a 15 pip SL. For me[and we are all different in this regard] being in a trade long enough to pull this off is far riskier then 3-6 scalps of 2-10 pips.
TK5 has outlined a simple entry system but it is not Mechanical. You need to be able to read the candles and interpret price action as well as support/resistance. Only a lot of chart time will make that a reality. Demo or trade micro lots for as long as that takes. It will come just be patient.
As far as "doubling" goes i have a simple question to pose. How many of you out there have pulled 40-100 pips every 2-3 weeks from this system[or any other system including EA`s]. If the answer is yes then that account doubles with 1 to 2.5 lots traded per $1,000 account balance. I never said it was easy, but it is simple. I am not being flippant when i say this.
This thread and its philosophy is about a mindset. For me a small account with high leverage is an opportunity. For others it is their idea of the road to ruin. That`s ok. We are all different in this regard to one degree or another.
The Question has been posed did i do this with success?? The answer is yes and no. I have doubled my account trading 1-2.5 lots per 1000 on several occasions. Along the way I blew up 3 $200 accounts before my nerves calmed down and it started to work for me. A new mindset takes time to "set". Am i consistent?? The answer is not yet. There have been small draw downs on this last account and some weeks with little gain. But i am committed to becoming more consistent. By anyone's standard I am profitable now. The potential here is staggering. Just open your minds to the possibilities.

This may help the new people on the block, Trend Lines......Lines are color coded with the RSI so that you can see how beneficial the RSI comes into play S/R and FIbs Watch how Price reacted as it moved up to the 50% level stalled,consolidated, then continued to the 61.8 then Resistance and 78.6 retrace to the 61.8 TK's thread is about grabbing 5 , if you were in this for the long haul this is how its done. Keep a keen eye because this stuff repeats itself over and over. {image}
That is spot on and your diagram illustrates that brilliantly. This is a simple system but all these indicators need to be considered and are subjective.

Support/Resistance
Daily Pivot Points
Fibonacci
Divergences
Consolidations

NB. my idea of S/R, pivot point timing, fibs and consolidations may be different from yours

Please do not think for one moment that price/ema cross & long MA and RSI 8 in correct position = 5 pips

To quote tk5's first rule on Post#2 with the relevant section underlined.

1. Enter (right on the second candle opened inside 5ema) Buy trades only if price is over ema200 (either m15 or H1 you choose) and only sell if below ema 200.

Please read the whole thread! The subject of stop loss has been discussed already. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to that (not by tk5's words anyway). I would set it at either the high/low of the previous candle or 10-15 pips. Just my opinion

Tk5 Thanks for sharing, i've made two wins and one loss on a live account and the loss was due to my error jumping in before the bar had set, many thanks

interestingly the two wins were CT, against the 200 ema, perhaps this carries more risk but does it? with a 5 pip TP i'm wondering if the 200 ema has much relevance to this system, is it needed? opinions please.

Hey guys

Any thoughts on this one? Exited at a loss of about -10.5 pips.

I pulled out as it was approaching the top of the turn candle, which is where I had my SL... Not sure if I exited too early, but I'll keep an eye on it over the next hour and see what happens...

I guess you closed too late mate. thats why I emphasize importance of 5 net pips on m15.

You're right. Ive been using a smoothed RSI which has an alert which I like, I thought it was pretty close to the standard RSI, but on closer comparison, it's not really...

Lesson learnt, time to switch back to the standard RSI!
