New profitable System - Sidus

I'm not sure you can backtest a system like this. When you look back over the charts, you'll see several crosses that appear to be entry and exit points. These crosses followed through to some degree and usually produce winning trades. What you won't see, however, is when a cross occurred, then quickly reversed. When you look back on this event, it will not show that the lines ever crossed at all. When backtesting, you will not record this as an entry because you will not see a cross.

I'm not saying that this isn't a good system with a lot of potential. I'm just wondering if there is a way to accurately backtest it.

Anyway, I appreciate all the info on this thread. If I'm wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me.

I have not looked through this whole thread, but does any body care to share their results using this system? How have you been doing?

Poor Sidus.His system has been well and truly hijacked and bastardised. Remember "Keep it simple"?

Hi guys,

Great thread, I have one question, with the ma's crossing, is it considered a cross once they have crossed by the smallest amount, or do they have to cross by a certain size, not sure if you get what I mean, if anyone does, please let me know.

Thanks

I have been thinking about looking at the ATR as opposed to slope when 5 crosses 12. The reason is, as the slope of 5 decreases so does ATR. For example I was thinking if ATR (of last 4 bars) is < 'some number' then the signal is not (yet) strong enough. What do you all think?

I’m not very wise on what that whole thing means but looking at your results. There was a lot of buying, but nothing ever sold to even realize the p/l except for gbp/usd. But it still said -300. It sort of confuses me. Is something not configured correctly? I don’t understand the program 100% but are the tickets being closed? Or are new orders being created? I thought I would throw my 2 cents in and see if someone can clarify it for me.

BTW www.freewebs.com/liquid11 I’m still working on her. I just want to create something easier for new guys to the thread so they don’t have to read through everything. It’s got a lot going for it. I was giving a suggestion to update the p/l for pairs traded. Maybe someone hardcore about the Sidus method could shoot me their trades for the week, once a week, with times opened, closed, price opened, price closed, p/l. I don’t want to ask too much though, a simple "I made 100 pips this week in 4 trades" will even work for me.

I have monitored this thread for about a good while now and I must say that due credit must be served to each and everyone of you for you sustained forward efforts, however take a notion of caution with your efforts Now to find the super exact entry and exit points with the hair triggered foot of a professional drag racer. A good system is just that a good system! It will serve as a strong sail in a high wind and as a sturdy crib for a bouncy baby. Get the point. The current method you are all pouring over has been in morphing creation for a good year now as it has traces back to the strategyfx forum.. Nothing is new under the sun only reborn again in fresh new minds. The one hour tunnel foundation is holding it's own. The enhanced versions to accellerate the trading opportunites are fine and dandy. Remember it's all about perception... This is your individualized personal Holy grail!! I see the system works you each see it. Spend more time watching it in action within each currencies individual habitat, let that be your tuning fork for the trades.

renasdad, stricko108,

I haven't looked at the ATR yet. I'll check into that. As for < 'some number' what I think you should do is normalize the ATR value. When you normalize the value of an indicator it compares the current indicator value to the value over some period. This gives you a value from 0 to 1, or 0 to 100. This allows you to compare the indicator to itself, and get a better view of where it "came from." I find this to be most useful as long as you're sample periods don't get to long.

Thoughts?

when the 5 ema crosses 12 from below it signals a buy but what if the RSI has been hovering above 60 for the past few hours? is it still a good signal?
