      Yep, the brokers obviously differ a little. My high at IBFX is 1.4411, so my buy stop is at 1.4421. A few pips aren't going to make any difference on a daily (or even 4H) system. Scott

      I too would like confirmation on this from one of the veterans of the daily system. It would appear that Tweak #1 comes into play here? So when the current bar closes, we would be placing new orders at the high plus 10 and the low minus 5? Is this ...

      Well, it was my understanding that the Sunday candle was considered to be a part of Friday's candle in the daily system (at least that is what El Dee indicated to me -- or maybe that is just how he trades it?). In any event, too late now. LOL

      Alex, El Dee's daily rules state: 3.6 Another occasional occurrence is that the order is filled, creating the automatic stop loss position, and then the price reverses through the stop loss closing your position. Tweak #1 - in this situation, at the ...

      Yep, I took it based on the HMA, RSI and Trendmaster indicator (which has now reappeared again on my charts, LOL). But I acknowledged in my message that this was "my version" of Mitch's system. I am on demo, so just trying different things at the ...

      Yes, I went long E/U last night as well. Interestingly, when I entered the trade, there was a Trendmaster up arrow on today's bar. When I got up this morning and price has retraced, the arrow is now gone. So whoever said Trendmaster doesn't repaint ...

      Hi there. I took it on my own. At least on my IBFX platform, HMA has turned red, Goldminer is red, and RSI has turned yellow. Currently down quite a bit on it, though (about 85 pips). We'll see if she comes back. Scott

      Mitch, as you well know, you can't expect to win every night or every week or even every month in this game. Hang in there. I think the system is pretty sound... just needs some tweaks on when to get in and out efficiently. Personally, I think it ...

      Sounds good, Mitch. Plus you just had to know that as soon as you began to share your trades publicly, they would take a little bit of a hit, right? That happens to just about all system sharers on FF. But I'm glad to hear that it sounds like your ...

      Hi, Mitch. Thanks for posting your trades. Being more conservative, I have only entered two trades: USDCAD (sell) and EURAUD (sell). Some of the trends of the other pairs look a bit tired, so I figured might be best to wait for confirmation or a new ...

      That is incredible, Mitch. You just entered on the strength of the trends in those pairs or what? Wow. Just be careful with those discretionary trades (the gambling). While you may be on a lucky streak at the moment and able to pull off trades "just ...

    • turtlefan replied Jan 22, 2009

      LOL. I was just rounding up to three on USDCAD. I now see from your reply to paradoxical how you are using the number. Right now USDCAD is sitting at 1.2554, and the ATR (14) is 0.206. So if you entered short, your stoploss would initially be ...
