there was a >120pip impulse move in eur/usd, aud/usd and cable since london open, followed by a flag. this is uptrend and it's likely to continue.. the market is not mechanical. don't go against obvious MOMENTUM even if the flashlights tell you. if ...

And please believe me, it has nothing to do with time or the usual slight differences in broker feeds.. it's the concept in itself. As long as the alpha (and sometimes omega) of any trade is an extreme spike, trades will always be incoherent between ...

hi, thanks for the chart. i for myself don't let the system tell me the direction, i know the direction i want to trade in advance (overall price action, usd sentiment, recent SR, highs/lows... generally recent past - of course i can be wrong) and ...

cheers and keep the pc shut .. i'm sure we can elaborate on it but this is insufficient input.. RJ is right, we need context. looking forward to your charts later, gl

I had PMs disabled from the very start.. i don't like background chit-chat.. but gave it a try: I vouched 4 people in this thread and Eval was the very first, i gave my reasons - see bottom of this post, then RJ and Jack Herer since i knew them from ...

i don't think so... especially not those trading for a living. RJ summed it up very nicely and even dimwit me can grasp the point: He treats it as a business and that's the way to go. I'm still in a freaky phase when i'm drinking, eating and almost ...

hi interesting question, i'm eager on replies. I'd like to tell you my goals but i can't.. firstly i'm not a pro (fulltime traders apparently use them), secondly i can understand the merit of having a loss limit per day/session (mkt conditions, ...

yes, i see.. i have the last ES at 17:05gmt yesterday. i'm thinking about taking any, even non-extreme spike for valid in these situations (= bye bye 100% mechanics). there was a long entry in eu signaled just ahead of frankie open.. ...

Symphonie Trader System

..and that's why i struggle hard to follow the rules to the point. i woke up and saw this.. took it as you see, with a 10.6pip stop (sometimes i put the stop just above m15 bar). but there was no extreme spike. hard to follow this rule when the ...

Symphonie Trader System

well, combined exactly with the 'in the long run' condition, that's the problem with any EA.. anything i have seen (including dissected commercial EAs) was curve-fitted, mostly with absurd R:R ratio. Optimization is one of the pitfalls - i can make ...

Symphonie Trader System

excellent post, many thanks for that. it's true, at least to some extent. I think another psyche-related aspect (this time with rating our trades) is to pinpoint our failures (=if i did it mechanically, it would be ok) and take the successful ...

thanks for the input JJ, nice trade. in M1/M5, the system loves yoyo if the chop is wide enough; cable was a pip machine today. the key is: don't stay in trades, bag your 20-40 pips and trust the next signal. But we are 'programmed' to anticipate a ...

hi, started to work on it yesterday, it takes some time. i hope to post everything by Mon/Tue next week as i will do the most during this weekend, no news until then thx for patience. Eval, 200 PAGES, 3000 posts and the system is still the same ...

hey ttaro27! I apologize!!!!! I thought you want to modify the cycle indy into histogram sorry! search the forum for a CCI histogram, the trendline colour is 63-period CCI And thanks for finding the bug! corrected, please ...

Symphonie Trader System

at the same place you are now, i didn't make anything, just spamming here sorry but no.. doesn't make sense, it's not a trend indy but a zigzag thingy. below: 2012 could be fun! what will happen with the euro?

Sorry JJ but i will disappoint you, too much effort for little usefulness (imo). However I do respect you might have a use for it, plotting lower TF data on higher TF always (at least with mt4) results in data loss and is awkward to deal with. i ...

Symphonie Trader System

excellent in these conditions market doesn't favor m15 recently - look at poor daily ranges. i think there could be a rule - if the 5-day average is below (example, don't know) 140, trade M5.. if it's above, go M15. the ADR was around ...

yes it's clear now, and it will be simple to do. i will use my routines for SL/risk (it's a bit tricky - you must respect the value of the pip - it's not the same for every symbol) so half the thing already done. well, this will be a bit ...
