alllivemind replied Oct 29, 2008Kos, I am trading the 8 hr live with only 4 microlots, but I am long at 1.5523 since the reversal bar 10/27 8:00. More risk, wider stops, but no whipping, I'm still long! In 3 hours I'll move my Stop up under this current bar. I believe we are ...

alllivemind replied Oct 29, 2008Thanks, But where would my long entry be? I thought I understood this system. Which candle would have been the reversal, as the high still has not been broken, and the lower band has not been touched? Thanks Michael

alllivemind replied Oct 29, 2008I was at a meeting and missed that short, so I put in the order rather than short a market that's going up! So I'm still long from 1.6274, and if we set a new high I'll just treat that like a setup bar that it is.

alllivemind replied Oct 29, 2008EJ is going up, by the system I am short. The recent high on the 10/28 20:00 candle has not been broken. My reversal stop is 10 pips above that. Am I doing that right? Any Feedback?

alllivemind replied Oct 29, 2008When I quoted Sterling he was referring to the G/U. My little run is irrelevant to the long term success rate, especially in this current environment of trending systems heaven! We need to wait for a good EA to test a few years.

alllivemind replied Oct 29, 2008Been trading for about a week on E/J, doing quite well, I need to start keeping records but I don't and have no back testing. I use stairstepping, so if I have 10 microlots I raise by 2 if I lose then lower by 2 when I win, so average winner bigger ...

alllivemind replied Oct 28, 2008G/U I am exactly the same. E/J is another story. E/J I have 122.74. I believe you shorted under the last completed candle. It's a better entry than me, if we keep going down, but that candle is not an official setup candle. Michael

alllivemind replied Oct 28, 2008Well, we got whipped around after our big winner, but I hope everyone kept the faith and is well in profits on this current trade. I am up +264 pips and were having just a little pullback. The momentum hints that we may be having a much bigger ...

alllivemind replied Oct 27, 2008Steve, are you using the Alpari or those timeframes? Seems to me that you are. Although you got a much better entry than we did it is not the system. Are you using the Alpari bar of 12:00? That is not a setup bar, as it did not make a lower low. The ...

alllivemind replied Oct 27, 2008Sterling, I do see that we are flat so far for the week, but shouldn't we have a buy order above the last setup bar, (8:00 Alpari)? The high of that bar is 1.5661. For me that order would be 1.5670. edit: I typed in the above, over 50 pips away, ...

alllivemind replied Oct 26, 2008As of this writing, the first bar of the week on Alpari looks like a setup bar. I closes at 7 pm PST and so I believe our first trade of the week will be to go long 5 pips plus spread above the high, which currently is 1.5877. So unless that high is ...

alllivemind replied Oct 24, 2008A few Thoughts..... — I think those who cannot take 3 losing trades in a row are using too high of a contract size, and should reduce. I am only trading this system for two weeks but I will assume that both the losers and the winners are ...

alllivemind replied Oct 24, 2008Well the candle closed so we can move our stop. The last bar is a setup Bar, so our stop goes above it. Mine is: 1.6162. This candle already has a lower low so in 4 hours hopefully it will be even lower and we can move the stop again. M

alllivemind replied Oct 23, 2008...and the current bar is a setup bar, so when it closes in less than 2 hrs the stop will go 5 pips plus spread above it's high.
