BP, You do know the EMAs are 5 & 13 not 5 & 8, right? Scott

Yep, both EURUSD and AUDUSD just triggered BUYS on the 1H. Scott

Yes. My EA took a GBP/JPY trade about 3AM ET but it immediately reversed because of some inflation news from the Bank of England (-42 pips there). I also am in a EUR/CHF trade right now that is profitable (currently up about 30). My EA took that one ...

Not quite yet. At the last 1H candle close, the 5 was still a hair under the 13. Scott

Roselyn: Yes, this is a good setup. Wait for candle to close after cross, though. Scott

Maybe we need to build in a filter to avoid taking trades and/or placing protective stops around news times for various currencies. Scott

Dani, I use one that I created last week. It is still a work in progress, but the basics seem to work well. It opens and closes trades without issue. Scott

Well, this trade didn't end up too great. After being up around 50 pips initially, I ended up losing 54 (that includes the spread). I am still wondering if a trailing stop is a good thing to implement. I would have gotten out with at least a few ...

Wait for candle close, Luca. Scott

Dani, yes, the candle needs to close. Scott

BP, Do you see the COG indicator listed under "Custom Indicators" in your Navigator window? Scott

1H TF. I think a large spread becomes less of an issue on the 1H and higher timeframes. As endroute says, we're looking for the bigger moves here. Scott

First trade of the week — Guys, We just got a valid signal (I believe) on the EURCAD pair. Correct me if I am wrong, endroute. I just bought it, so we'll see how the trade goes. I've attached the chart at the time of entry. Scott

Today — Endroute, If you can, please post any trades you are taking as they occur. Am I correct in saying there have been no valid trades on the 1H TF as yet today? The EURGBP had a cross, but now that the COG has repainted, none of the bars ...

Noone suggested that we couldn't "take this information in" or that people should be scared to share their ideas. Those are strawmen. Hey, I welcome new ideas and even variations of this method. I would love to hear Roselyn talk more about her ...

No problem. Thanks for the response. Scott

EMA 25-50 Trading System (Detailed)

Amen! — I was thinking the exact same thing, Dani. Out of respect for endroute and his original system, if people are going to be adding a bunch of indicators and other stuff, they need to start a new thread because at that point it becomes a ...

Whoa... you just took a very simple system and made it complicated. Just how much better results are you getting with it? Scott

The art of Trading MAs

Well, the only reason I asked was because the very first couple of posts of this thread (the original system) clearly stated the signal is the crossing of the EMA 50. Thanks, Scott

EMA 25-50 Trading System (Detailed)

If you don't mind my asking, how did you fare this past week, endroute (wins vs. losses, net pips, and did you trade mainly 1H or 4H or a combination)? Also, can you quantify how many bars back you will allow for a cross of the upper/lower green COG ...
