If I need to write a program and 90% of the function is string parsing, then I'll use perl. Everything else, I'll use python, because code that is actually legible by yourself and others, 2 months after you wrote it, is IMPORTANT. Python is for ...

So far, I should have made money, but didn't because of some confusing mistakes with big spreads.. (ug). If I wait for the close of the bar, it might be FAR away in the 4H chart world.. But I "might" have to.. It seems that the appearance and ...

Minor Update — So, I started to trade 19 pairs!! A few things that were unexpected: First, some of the pairs had a 9~10 pip spread!! I originally thought a -13pip stop would be enough, but with a 9 pip spread, that only gave you a 4 pip ...

I have myself saying "UpTrend" or "DownTrend" on the alerts, but the software doesn't allow me to export that portion, and absolute paths related, and so I guess if you use my system, then you will have to record yourself saying "Uptrend" or ...

Slight change to Rich's WMA attached. I added just the multiplier I use, so that way, his profits line always shows up correctly (in terms of pips) regardless if you are trading pairs which are 1.xxxx or 100.xx. I'm one of those evolutionary snails, ...

4Hours puts you into the realm of "long term investing" (well, in forex sense anyways). So you do it like investments. I trail the stop @ -21 pips.. So not bad at all... You would enter a trade on the signal, and just sit back and relax.

The reason to keep a pip a pip, is so you can scale easily. If you say "I want to make 100 pips today". Then you take the Lot size and the currency pair out of the equation. If you said "I want to make $1000 today" That'd be what.. I don't know, 119 ...

Great question! Well, I think about everything in pips.. It just makes life easier. The reason is, you don't know if a pip is worth $1 or $10 or $9.63. And frankly, I don't care.. "Pip Hording" is the name of the game ;-) If you hord enough, who ...

Creative Tracking.. — I didn't realize it until last night, but trying to track 19 different currency pairs is not an easy task. :-( So I made a special spreadsheet for this very task.. The Spreadsheet looks somewhat complex, but is actually ...

Graphical example of ATR Trailing stop + absolute stop — First image, the ATR Trailing stop only. It works well, but trailing stop established at initial entry IMHO is too expensive. Note on that big section, the initial trailing stop would ...

Rich, I like what you've done with the place ;-) I will go get some breakfast, finish a proposal, and the work on OCC some more. I will post screenshots of 2 versions, so it all makes sense about the stops..
