Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Question: Would there be value in trying to maximize winning cycles by trailing the market as long as it will yield profits instead of closing and starting a set of trades in the opposite direction?

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016And if you start a cycle and this looks good but it turns out to be a long cycle and this eventually turns unfavorable, then that would be a good time to consider a higher Q value.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Yes! One mistake I made early on was thinking that a higher Q would result in less but better signals. This is not the case as illustrated above. I experimented with M5 chars with Q as high as 750. Even there, DD can happen.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016It you start with higher Q values, it will take longer for trades to open if at all. If a cycle does open, it may be of higher range.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016I'm thinking there has to be more to it. The EA allows for one Q value for open and a separate one for closing. I have not tested that but it would seem to make sense to enter the desired values there. Perhaps there is a level of discretion ...

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Good morning.. Here is my guess from your previous comments. There may be more to it. A: Q goes higher to force positive outcomes. Open with low Q + close with High Q == positive trades

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016Enjoy the next cycle. I will be calling it a night for now. I have been up since the last London open. But not tonight! Tonight I sleep and I will be back for the next Asian session. I cannot thank you enough for your all of your guidance ...

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016Next time: I will wait and not rush to get in. Thank you for a great first trading session! I will be here every Asian session from now on. Of course, had I waited another few minutes I would have gotten that Q!

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016Roger that on the fibs/pivot. I too will be looking to close upon opposite Q box. What indicator are you using for your pivot points and support/resistance? I have SS_SupportResistance_v07.3 and PivotLinesINTERBANKv2.

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016image Ouch! That's some spread! I've spaced my entries about 20 pips away from each other. A 0.01 lot trade of GBP/JPY with a 300 pip stop loss = $30 or 1.3% of my account. Thats not too bad.

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016Got it. I am entering manually until I am comfortable with the EA. I believe I was one hour early as I was going by FF Tokyo open. In my hurry not to miss the open, I did enter short at 133.095 for 0.01 lots. Monitoring it for now.
