Yes, THANKS Xaron.... Tom, always interested in entries... What time to you look to enter, and are your S/R levels by "eye" or do you use an indicator? If so, which one!! Thanks.....

Hi Xaron.... can you clarify your 5m entry concept? I checked the thread you referenced earlier, which is pretty dang complicated... looks like you just use the 3 ma, but do you use a simple cross? or all the variaus slope criterea in the thread... ...

Hi Marek! I think we have a mutual friend!! Yea, very easy. It will trade .01 just fine... if your account does, of course. And you can change both the progression lot sizes and number of trades just by editing that input. Just type in new numbers, ...

Xaron.... YES it WILL HAPPEN... (7gmt bust...) .and did.... Friday, with a 7gmt start time, ran all 24 losses, and actually a few more just tracking it!! Default settings 10/40, 30pBE etc... all 24 losses... So we now have it documented!! It will ...

OK, there is the answer!! You closed at level 4. I started one hour later and ran all 24 losses... that is both good and bad! Good because 6gmt has been consistently winning, but so has 7gmt until today... Bad, because it proves that even one hour ...

Yea, Mer, kind of a bummer! Settings are default, 10SL, 40TP, using your 30 breakeven etc... starting at 7gmt... (I thought 7gmt was an hour before Frankfurt??? if not, my miscalc....) What is your gmt start time, and do you change for ...

WOW!!! My EU just ran it's 24 trade sequence this morning for a complete losing sequence?? 7gmt timed entry, 24 losses... go figure?? 6gmt entry would have won on the first or second entry, depending on buy/sell .....

Sort of the same for me... timed entry... 7gmt... I use a 16 trade progression that yields 20p per day on the EU, for every $5000 in account. Then for the remaining 8 trades, it yields breakeven. This reduces the ultimate risked amount, figuring ...

This is a version of Arbitrage trading.... taking advantage of minor inconsistencies in the market. Trading the EURCHF eliminates the inconsistencies, hence the "edge". The edge to this method is the historical correlation, and the inconsistency ...

Hi Max, I can get you started..... But frankly, I am a bit hesitant to start down this road... as I have on a few occasions, and have simply managed to arouse the passions of fervant anti-Martingale folks.. (again, I don't trade Martingale, I trade ...

Well, you certainly can't get hurt by any system if you don't trade it. So, if that is your inclination, then don't read further.... But "Martingale" is not the only approach. I have traded progressive lot systems for a couple years now. Not ...

Well, the only thing certain about FX is that you can't be certain. Hit the 24 losses a certainty? Maybe. Maybe not. We don't know! But we all CAN agree that we don't want to be the one that hits it!! So.... this is why MER is continually reminding ...

Question on times.... couple of you said you hit the EU first time today, took me 9 trades, with one breakeven in there.... You also mentioned you started at GMT-1... what time is that? Up to now, we have been starting at 7gmt (I think?), so did you ...

Both my EU and UJ trades had a breakeven move, which functioned perfectly. I have not yet had a breakeven stopout to test the re-entry function..... This system simply can not be backtested with MT4... due to the time component. I have worked with a ...
