Jayf19 - Good post. No not blurry, very deliberate and it will work. I suspect you may add a second pair sooner though. :-)

Hi Splurge - Sedona is quite right but it also helps if you go into Tools > Options > Objects and tick >Select object with single mouse click, well I find that easier anyway, and then as Sedona says.

Hmmm - I must admit, I have played with the time period and I appreciate your longer sample point of view but I would question, in this rapidly changing world, if the volatility, or maybe more correctly, the short term breakouts we pick up from a CZ ...

No, doesn't quite work like that. If you are using the indicator, it is designed to optimize somewhat going forward but looking back it will only use the current settings, no optimization effect. You should see this clearly in the box sizes going ...

Yeah, that's pretty much my view also Armacon. I do though take it one step further. Number 1 priority is to get a high reliability account going at best gain but highest win % rate and then alongside that run a higher risk, more pips, Martingaled ...

Hi Pipper, that is interesting on the 4 hr bar. May I ask how many pairs you are trading and what is the DD % likely accross them. Darn, I didn't register it looking at the chart but you are not Martingaling are you ?

A litre of Scotch will do that to you. :-) Sorry pal, hope you get better fast.

Yeah ! I think January 2 before I do anything more. I will keep tabs on SSBO to see what happens in these few very light days but hey, we do need to take a break.

Not in the way you say but see PM.

Ah, OK, well let's just put it down to mis-perceptions on both our parts. As we say in Australia - Let's just stick to our day jobs. :-)

[quote=Turveyd;6319350] Yeah, well my name is not Rupert Murdoch but we could just about swap places.

[quote=Turveyd;6319216] Yep. My wife is 25 years younger and so my accounts are all corporate - and wholly legal in jurisdictions that do not heavily tax. My home country taxes nearly 50 % but I am wholly legal there also. I don't want legal ...

Sorry, my comment was general and I thought that was clear. I was speaking directly to capital preservation which is applicable to everyone. I don't understand your reference to Mexico. I am not American. I posted at 8:04 on Sunday morning which is ...

Hi FXH, I don't want to belabour the point but there is one clear scenario for loosing your entire account. SSBO or any other. In my direct experience : Refco, FXLQ and PFG. I had funds in two of them. FXLQ I got back maybe a year or two later, ...

Sure. I grant you that under SSBO correctly traded. I was thinking purely from a capital preservation point of view. Especially because every one who reads this thread does not give great thought to MM. and everyone will not trade SSBO correctly or ...

Interesting post Awol. . . . . . and isn't compounding a beautiful thing ? :-) Maybe give some thought to a much earlier post I made about withdrawing your original capital so that even if you blow the account, you have lost nothing.

Most serious participants in here will tell you to read post 1. The others will ignore such a question.

Very nice start to the holidays. :-)

That's exactly right. At THIS moment I am not using the box buffer but rather closed bars outside. On EJ my win rate is 77.8 % I see other posts using the buffer and yet with similar result despite quite different settings. You must use what works ...
