You are right to an extent but it would be better if you were trading the hourly in the same direction as the daily. This move down could still be seen as a pullback in a daily uptrend. Of course there is nothing to stop nzdusd from just dropping ...

It varies from instrument to instrument but is between 25 and 45% on testing. It's worth mentioning that I don't trade the standard 20/20 system and have slightly different rules for adding trades and placing stops.

I think this thread is completely irresponsible. There's not a mention anywhere of not marrying a position. This could easily lead to a long term drawdown and who knows, maybe even a blown account?

Dating Tips for Traders

I don't think you will find a 'reputable' broker who will do that. You could look at some of the spread betting companies like IG Index (or whatever they call themselves now) as I believe they do something like that but then you're not in the realms ...

Looks ok but would taking trend into account improve things? Also is there a way you could add to winning trades?

No, you keep taking hourly signals until the 100 sma is breached. You don't really need to look at the daily after it has given a signal. It is all about following the 100 sma on the hourly.

Just so the higher timeframe ma isn't moving about during the day, it stays fixed until the next candle opens whereas the close price will vary all day. Sypder is right, it doesn't make much difference to this system.

Quick and Dirty EOD

I don't move to break even so much anymore, I just let the ea trail behind the 100 sma by 20 pips but set it to close if the price closes the other side of the ma.

Technically yes but you really want to take one trade at a time, get each trade in turn to break even and then start looking for another trade. The only time you would want to overlap your trades is when you get a very clear pullback and turn very ...

Trend following system results

In the original method I would sometimes take a trade even if the price had breached the 100 sma, for instance if there was a turn at some obvious support/resistance. With the new method I never trade against the 100 sma. Just wait for a daily ...

It's not about being greedy or otherwise, it's about your winners being big enough to pay for your losers. Finding trend trades on weekly charts will incur lots of losses and so your winners need to be as large as possible. Try backtesting your idea ...

You won't. Wait until the hourly is moving in the same direction as the daily.
