I'm glad to hear I could provide some insight, and congratulations on your profits! I will strongly caution you on one thing when it comes to trading without a stop loss. Remember, if you truly never use a stop loss, you are basically saying "The ...

[quote=tradervic63;4398112] Vic, appreciate your comment on my comment... I may have not used the correct wording when I said "leading" and "lagging". I simply meant that if there is an established "average level of positive correlation" between two ...

Thank you Oc...I haven't even looked in the"trading systems" section of this site in months, primarily because I find nearly all utilize some perversion of price action, and i'm a pure price action trader. However, this strategy holds real merit, ...

Well, there ya go... To the coders out there, besides eliminating the stoch and replacing it with a standard deviation of fluctuation, I think staying out at least 15 - 30 min before major news releases, and staying out until an hour after the news ...

Navk...question for ya....that "bad trade" that drew down 120 pips...was it held over a news release involving one of the currencies? Greg

Exactly! Well...almost exactly! It does depend on how the news comes out. Personally, I'd definately be out 15 min - 1 hour before news, but depending on how it came out, would define when I get back in. If news came out as expected, and it was not ...

I'll chime in on this one, if you don't mind wallstreet... IMHO: trading this strategy during any major news on any pair you are in is about the worst possible thing you could do. here's why: Pairs that are highly correlated for a reason. Although ...

Nah....no relation Tex. I've only known two keiths that I can recall, and neither were traders. I'm sorry to hear that tho... I figured I was the only one who would write a book with each post, and now I know there are two of us who plague the world ...

Thank you Zr... I have been on this board for over 2 years now...but I almost never post. I rarely feel compelled...though this may be changing for me... reading this type of thread reminded me a bit of where I was about 2 years ago, having just got ...

Possibly... i'm not familiar with the TMA indicator, and from what I can tell, it's as you said.... the math itself is just basic calculus, but converting it to code may come in handy from that TMA indicator... still would need a lot of ...

Aright Chris...just for you, since you asked First off, it's already been addressed, but i'll mention it anyway. The E.A. needs to NOT trade around major news announcements. Anything in Red when it comes to the U.S., or anything in red if you are ...

aw shucks, thanks! it seems i have an unfair advantage over you mediator since i am american, though if it wasn't for spell check, i couldn't express my thoughts like me either! As far as letting winners run, I do agree with you, to an extent. Since ...

Ah yes...It seems I wasn't very clear there. your right...Stoch has its limitations...so what I propose is for someone who can code an indy should get rid of the relatively arbitrary stochastic measurement alltogether, and create a new indy that ...

An edit to the post above, regarding issue 2 and 4: Although the system as is does have a stop loss...when the stoch diff is less than 50, close trade. However, a more aggressive capital protection system would provide better capital preservation in ...

Smoky, I totally agree with "the teacher will appear". I remember reading the same 500 ideas over and over in trading books forums, etc. And then one day, it clicked. Started trading breakouts, stopped trading emotionally (mostly anyway), and was ...

Naijafx, your hourly is pretty much in line with mine, I'm just looking to take more aggressive entries. However, since I agree a pullback is likely, I think I will hold off on entries until it breaks above 1.0550, and then retraces to 1.050. After ...

Saxon... I like your longer term analysis, triangle formation really is looking solid on the high TF... but my question is this... what would you have to see form to push you one way or the other? What (if any) changes would you need to see in the ...
