turtlefan replied Jun 26, 2008Makes sense. So if Friday is an inside day, do you open up a trade for Monday based on Friday's prices? Thanks, Scott

turtlefan replied Jun 26, 2008Looks like no trades again for the next day as there are no inside bars on the majors. Scott

turtlefan replied Jun 26, 2008I have to agree with Lucidlamp. The instructions on what to do when a stoploss is hit are contradictory. In one sentence you mention that the 2nd attempt MIGHT be in the same direction as the first. In a sentence at the end of your post, you say try ...

turtlefan replied Jun 26, 2008#1) That's a good point. I hadn't noticed that. The IB should really be judged at 8 PM ET (IBFX's new bar). What do you say, Poliforex? #2) Using Poliforex's one example, the EUR/USD trade from yesterday, it appears he is taking the high and low of ...

turtlefan replied Jun 26, 2008Sounds good. And besides, if you are able to capture 30-100 pips on each trade, you don't need to be trading every day. By the four majors, I assume you mean EU, UJ, GU, and UC? Would you consider adding GJ? Looking over the last couple weeks, it ...

turtlefan replied Jun 26, 2008That's what I did on a USD/CHF trade this morning. First one went against me about 30-35 pips, so I took a second position (not doubling, just one lot again). Now it only needs to come up halfway between my positions to get to BE. We'll see... Scott

turtlefan replied Jun 25, 2008Poliforex, do you trade this live or just on demo? How successful have you been with it (win/loss ratio)? Lastly, how often do you get setups on the four majors? Seems like it might be kind of rare, but if the win rate is high enough, it might be ...

turtlefan replied Jun 25, 2008So just take the Hi minus Low from previous bar (including shadows) and add that total to your current entry price to get your take profit level? Thanks, Scott

turtlefan replied Jun 25, 2008Hi. Thanks for sharing. Will take a look. Can you clarify what you mean for the second lot when you say, "take profit at the same amount of previous day pips."? Thanks, Scott

turtlefan replied Jun 25, 2008Hi, Collectchix. Nice system and thanks for sharing! I think I will try it on a demo for a week or two. One question. Like some others, I am a bit fuzzy on how the EMA (fib) levels are playing into the trading decisions. If I understand your ...

turtlefan replied Jun 20, 2008Tazmaan, I would be willing to set the EA up on some other pairs and test it. If I may ask, how many pips are you getting per day/week, on average, from the EUR/USD pair? Scott

turtlefan replied Jun 18, 2008Crom, all that you say rings true. I fully accept losses as part of playing the game. No problems there. And I don't recall anyone claiming this system was the holy grail. But the thing some of us are trying to figure out is how some on here claim ...

turtlefan replied Jun 18, 2008I would be VERY interested to know how you did this. My EA, which was programmed to trade using endroute's original rules, lost every trade it took yesterday. And I believe it took every possible signal (there were four or five, I think). Can you ...

turtlefan replied Jun 17, 2008Dani, From the very first post of this thread, endroute states: "I typically do not set stop losses unless I am going to be away for a while, if I do I only set them at 20 - 50 pips depending on the pair I am trading, gbp/jpy gets 50 the rest 20."" ...

turtlefan replied Jun 17, 2008Greetings. 1) Yes, repainting occurs, and I have experienced it. I think endroute's response to that has been that it doesn't really matter so much. The COG is used to get you into the trade at a good point. From that point on it doesn't really ...
