Hi Ath, Do some back testing first. Not all pairs are very profitable when traded this way and the ones that are will have slightly different stop loss requirements. Also how you enter and exit is important, just trading the break of the level is ...

I mean everything needs to be very smooth, no wavy stochs, no chopping from colour to colour on the heiken ashi candles. Spotting an excellent signal from a good one takes a bit of practise. Try using the trade simulator here url

The latest sp500 trade got stopped out for a small loss. Not too much of a surprise. Everything else ticking over fine.

Hola, Your first question... you look at both. The sma is better if it is sloping one way or the other and the turn occurs in the same direction but you can be less fussy with the daily signal, it is the hourly trend you are looking to trade, the ...

I'm thinking anything could happen so sticking with the plan and just leaving the pendings in place. My risk per trade is low enough to trade all pairs concurrently and accept the losses as they occur.

The "perfect storm" scenario would see them all drawing down at the same time. Remember though that the 1% per trade would be reducing the size of each loser as the drawdown got deeper so the impact would be somewhat less but I understand your ...

It's worth pointing out that the worst it went backwards by was 27%. It is also worth mentioning that it took nearly three years before it broke into substantial profit. Fortunately we are living in volatile times and I seem to have caught a few ...

20 pips might be a bit tight, I'm usng 50. I think the price came to within a few pips of stopping me out the other day but fortunately I am still in it.

It probably will pull back after such a big move but if you just trail behind the ma it will get you out when it gets you out. There's no point trying to predict the future, if you follow the system then overall you will come out on top. You have to ...

I have attempted to put together a portfolio backtest from 2005 to now. It won't be exact because the EA works on 1% per trade and obviously trading all pairs together would lead to more compounding so I believe the result would have actually been ...

This is sort of answered above and I'm not giving stats out just yet but I can say that I am expecting a drawdown of between 20 and 30% and a return of between 20 and 80%.

Hi Guiom, very good questions. I backtested on about 20 years of data and split it into sample and out of sample to test different periods with the same settings. Yes, I tested using 'every tick' setting. I had to use multiple computers to run all ...

Actually, i haven't got a pending on eurusd, I've got euraud and eurnzd with one entry each and a pending each and eurusd is just 2 open trades. Sorry. I'll try and post some charts later.

Why 4 hour/1 hour? They are too close together.

No worries. I think you need to look at the expected drawdown and whether or not you are comfortable with it. I'm expecting a 30% drawdown at some stage and that is my worst case scenario. If you are happy with a 20 to 30% drawdown and your system ...

Audusd and nzdusd stopped out, euraud and eurnzd pulling back, eurusd doing ok. Two entries on eurusd now and another pending in place. I'll wait for a move on audusd and nzdusd, could be a bull run coming?
