Yup, though to be fair - if you look at the retrace after the first third of the jump I'd probably tp half way through it and would doubtedly reenter again - because it was like 15 pips from the sma at the lowest point. But retraces like that or ...

EMA/SMA14 5min - sys. in testing

Well, about the 14 periods - I really can't tell you, that was the default and it works. I suppose that if at least a few people test it together maybe we can test it for different amounts of periods, because verifying it statisticly isn't easy - ...

Well geez... nice support people, thanks for all the help to post and image and the concentration in reading and trying to understand.. didn't think this will be hard to get like rocket science (btw, rocket science aint that hard anyway, I know ...

EMA/SMA14 5min - sys. in testing

One week now, and it works great - had it taken longer on the 5min time scale to see how well it works - it's not good at all as far as I'm concerned.

Hi Mike, I think you should strive to develop or find a SYSTEM that wins you pips in the longer term. Weather the system works more or less than it looses and/or weather it wins more per trade then it looses per trade (the reward to risk per trade) ...

Win/loss ratio question

This is probably for larger time frames allright. On 5 min this happens like every half hour or a bit more and most trades are winners IF taken with the right timing of course, while the larger trend doesn't really have effect here and the ...

Sorry I can't, the whole thing with the icons above the message posting window doesn't work for me (on different computers). Don't know why, asked once in the member's area but didn't get an answer. If you know how, let me know too.. It's easy ...

Hi people, This is more of a general system but because I primarily use it on E/U and this pair applies the best, here it is: url

Additions I forgot (don't want to edit the original for those who read it already): - One other parameter that's adjustable by discretion somewhat is the placement of the trade in time, abviously if the next bar opens above the ema after the first ...

EMA/SMA14 5min - sys. in testing

sma14 crossed ema14 on my daily, so maybe a retrace nears.. (I've now started practicing buying second opened bar above ema14 when sma14 is below it with enitial sl put at the sma - all this on the 5min, I believe this may be a good techneque but ...

EURUSD

December is the month when the E/U retraced quite a bit, it's likely it affected other pairs as well. If you're trading longer term like a few trades per month or less then perhaps it's just some bad luck and in the longer term statistic it should ...

NIIIIICE pips Now how about a big retrace to reload all the longs

EURUSD

Yup. Yet that last jump high up was probably triggered by all the bears taken out on the way I figure, so it might still dash up to do that again.. As ussual, life's tough in FX land..

EURUSD

That's nasty - I'm hungry ! So who bets about the next move ? I say up again soon (a day maybe) to at least retest near 550 and then see.. Either way, entering with smaller leverage now and catching the wave or if it falls then buying the big ...

Oanda sized spreads but bigger leverage ? — Hi, I was wondering if there's a well known and reliable forex broker with spreads as small as Oanda's most of the time AND allowing small deposits (a few hundred $) but that allows higher leverage ? ...

OANDA Discussion

Go to Jacko's House of pleasure and pain in the Journals forum.

"Trend" , how do you actually trace the current trend ?

Hmm.. what's the scare ? To me this looks like the PERFECT time to buy. Ride this baby back to 549..

EURUSD

Exactly, of course they and other brokers offer 1:1 leverage. Those higher leverages are just the maximum. Just buy/sell the same amount you deposit. And btw, although Oanda declares it has 50:1 leverage you can't trade E/U on a leverage of even 30 ...
