Yes, they are quite a bit less volatile -- anything is really. EURJPY has been good too. I've got a demo going with eurusd and usdchf, both long, so both positive swap. And they're negatively correlated, so one hedges the other -- but, just not a ...

This has to be the simplest method I've traded in a long time. Very easy to trade and very easy to monitor. It's very similar to the carry grid EA. I finally downloaded OANDA to see what some of you meant by a lot size of .5% at 50:1. On a 20k ...

That's right, I forgot you were on Oanda. I have to download that to see what kind of position sizing you guys are using.

It's not my approach, it's ftraderx's. But it does sound interesting. I have this ATR indicator. Place on a daily chart, and change the setting to 10 is I think what's he's doing. Edit: Oh, and it means average true range.

Dreamliner, in one of your earlier posts, you mentioned that you were also trading this on 2 other pair. Are you using the same rules for those pairs -- the 200 pip drop, etc?

In this example, isn't your 7725 positon considered a dangler?

Very interesting twist, Ftraderx. I'll give it a try. I think I'll have to download Oanda's platform to see the lot sizes you're using. I have never seen lot sizes described that way, other than in reference to Oanda. What would a 20% position size ...

Peter O, in all your testing, have you determined an optimal lot size per 1k of account value?

Anyone using the advanced buy stop script posted by BigHope? It looks like it works fine except for the lot size. I'm trying to change lot size to .02, but it won't take. It still opens for 2 lots. Any ideas? Yes, I recompile after the change, and ...

Ok, just finished the thread. This has some aspects of the carry grid EA. I'm a little confused on why not to start a new ladder every 200 pips down. Is this correct: Establish a long position with no tp. Place buy stops above in 10 pip steps with ...

For SL, right now I'm just using a prior high or low. On the snapback trades, I'm trying to ride the fast stoch back to the opposite side. It's giving some excellant early entries.

I've been demoing your method a couple days and like it. Nice job. I'm also taking the snapback trades. If long term stoch is down, short on the fast stoch down tick. Reminds me on an old snapback trade I used to use in the futures markets.

Nice, thank you. What do you mean by the lower stoch "takes no further part"? ** Anyone loading this new template and indi, you have to remove the "[1]" in the indicator name.

That's my problem then --there are fewer of these actual signals than I was taking. Sometime tonight can you post a pic of your trades from today?

The bar that closed outside the keltner is two bars before your white vertical line. Are you saying the downbar has to occur within a certain time? edit: Are you saying that if we do NOT have a downbar at the same time stoch ticks down then no trade? ...

Am I reading this trade right? The candle time is 15:05 gmt. We had a close above k line, down candle, stoch ticking down, so enter last few seconds of candle. Price went to midline, stop moved to B/E. Price reversed and took out stop for a scratch ...

You're doing great with this. I've traded futures myself for many years, mostly ES and ER, occasionally YM. I've got to keep trying on your method -- I just don't have it yet. Are you using the opposite end of the keltner as your target?
