Well folks I may call it a day. 50% up this week, so I'm overall happy with that. I was almost at 3X what I started this month but last 2 days weren't as flash.
Still, I'm happy with the progress..... it seems it's not a fluke! LOL Always more to learn, but clearly I must continue whatever it is I'm doing that's producing these results.

I've been reading this as well : The Answer
A bit esoteric, but still.... you create what you focus on.

Have a great weekend all!

Green pips to all next week!

] mike, litechild,vlady1974 i want to thank you guys again, i finally got another aha moment. I now understand what you guys have been saying and doing. I wonder why i didn't figure that's out on my own earlier. I guess it's my personality of not wanting to apply every ones method but mine. I just made a startling discovery while doing my weekly reviews of my trading this week and trying to simplify application of my new method and then it dropped while looking at GBPCAD AND GBPNZD DAILY CHART AND CSM. I remember mike saying he only trades the strongest vs the weakest pairs, vlady1974 says he only trades with the trend, litechild told me to use csm only for setups. Even then it didn't become real to me until just now as i type..

List all gbp usd jpy vs eur cad nzd pairs. Trading the strongest vs the weakest pairs as mike said is the easiest money maker. Only trade counter trend with pairs having little relative strength difference. As a matter of fact never take counter trend trades on pairs with huge relative strong difference. That's a suicide mission. It's like shorting gbp cad that's suicide

Vlad your returns are amazing. May I ask what sort of money management you're using and how many % of your account is 100 pips worth. Would like to grow my account faster but without much risk though

Faded into to the USDCAD low. Close +21 on UCAD but still have one open from 12958.

I shorted EUR but closed at -8 after viewing its volatility and price structure.
Long EURUSD @ 10830 and 10851

Made a mistake early this morning meaning to long UCAD but I selected ECAD -7

Short AUDNZD @ 11196. This is underwater and I may pull the plug and wait for a better confirmation setup.

Hey Mike, I saw alot of CHF signals this morning on MADASH but I didn't take them.
There was a new version that I downloaded and I used the 10 day ATR setting as a signal filter.... So I didn't get many signals today.
I may turn this back to the default settings.

how does the ATR filter work? I use the dashboard for a specific purpose. I find that as with many indicators and Eas developed in FF, people tend to keep piling on and adding stuff instead of absorbing the information and picture being generated.
Reason for my trade....look at the weekly and daily charts....I got a valid long signal on my 30 min setup...

Yeah, I changed back to default settings. I think it was a way to reduce the volume of signals. Have to agree with you on the "feature" creep.
 
In terms of CHF, yeah I can see further downside to CHF (deliberate looks like). Pity IGIndex puts in a £450 deposit requirement on CHF trades. Must have been a precaution after that USD spike that obliterated a few brokerages. My account is a Spreadbet not an FX account, which probably explains why.
