I have a couple of questions, if you don't mind. 1. I assume you are going short in the above example. Wouldn't you set a "sell stop" order 15 pips under the open, rather than a limit order? 2. By having a "target price of 18 pips south of it", do ...

15 pip trigger system - I've "got it" too

That looks good, Automan. What rules are you using? Thank you.

TD Trendline System

It's a loser. Martingales are one of the biggest mistakes of new traders. There is a thread like this every week or so. Martingales do not work, in the long run. They are based upon a logical fallacy. They were mathematically debunked centuries ago.

Martingale Baggio Method

Question: On the EUR/USD trade, the entrance requirements were met two bars before you indicate with the vertical line. Why would you have waited? Thanks

X50 - M5 trend following

Something else you might want to consider: Why mess with those high-spread pairs? If you're looking for 20 to 40 pips, the spread on some of the pairs you trade is 25% of your goal. That's a huge handicap and it will show on your bottom line over ...

Did you account for the spread in your test results? Thanks

I cannot follow you to save my life. I wish I could. A few posts ago you wrote: Now you say you used the 30M to determine overbought and to signal trade entrance. I know TD trendlines and I can't see the logic you used to draw yours. The TD line you ...

I just can't follow you about the SK and/or trendline. Can you post a chart? Thanks

COT Weekly Trading Strategy

Can you clarify this a little? Stochastics- Are you saying that stochastic must be overbought or oversold on one of the time frames? That's what it appears you are saying. Also the SK. On the USD/JPY we are presently at the bottom of a downtrend. ...

Thank you, Steve. This is extremely interesting. I don't doubt, in the least, that your trend indicators are better than mine were. I threw mine out as a first stab to be improved upon. I've used TD lines for years. I've found them to be highly ...

TD Trendline System

Automan, Thanks for the info. I stopped tracking this around Christmas. I use IBFX and they closed down and opened at odd times during the holidays. The charts were chopped up and messy and I thought not too meaningful. I need to go back and survey ...

TD Trendline System

I'm sure you are correct. This may be too much trouble, but backtesting the parameters you have arrived at using 15M data, with lower TF data (5M or 1M) might reveal any major discrepancies in the results. In my opinion, what you have already done, ...

High & Low 8 Hours (GBP/JPY)

ilinar, Great work! I have a question. You indicated that you used 15M data. Scrolling back through 15M charts, I find it impossible, on many days, to determine whether a trade was triggered or not. On GU, a 15M bar can have a range of 20 or 30 ...

High & Low 8 Hours (GBP/JPY)

I meant non commercials rather than commercials. Otherwise what I said was correct. They were long the yen. That means the yen should decrease. If the yen decreases, then the USD/JPY will go up. If there was a JPY/USD, it would go down. We trade the ...

COT Weekly Trading Strategy

EUR/USD should be bearish. USD/JPY should be bullish. Commercials are long the Yen vs the Dollar. That means the yen should go down. If the yen decreases in value, the USD/JPY will go up.
