Hi, Ron. Below you say "EMA 25". I thought EMA 50 was the signal. Or did that change? Thanks, Scott

EMA 25-50 Trading System (Detailed)

Dani, you must be thinking of someone else's EA as I have not posted mine yet. Cheers, Scott

Well said, Crom. I agree 100%. No system is perfect. This one seems to win much more than it loses. Given that and the fact that the wins are usually much bigger than the losses, trading the plan with discipline is all that is necessary. I just ...

And a good opinion, I think. I share your views. I'm just trying to feel this system out and was just wondering out loud if those "rules" should be added to the system. Endroute has been trading this a lot longer than any of the rest of us ...

No worries, man.

I don't trust the backtesting. Better just to keep an eye on it going forward. Looking at the same chart this morning (in real time), I see the top green line has moved up quite a bit more so that the bars in question now are sitting under the ...

Sorry, endroute, but you're wrong on that. The price DID close above the upper green line. I would never have entered it otherwise. Those COG lines shifted over the next two hours on the chart. Surely you realize that they do that (repaint). Scott

Hi, Skygod. Yes, my COG settings are correct. I doublechecked them, in fact, after that trade. You have to remember that the COG indicator repaints as time goes by. If you had looked at your chart back when the 5 EMA actually crossed down over the ...

Good trade gone bad — Ok, here is a EURJPY short trade I took today on a demo account. It is hard to tell from the screenshot, but the candles had moved above the top green line prior to the EMA cross. I entered on the finished candle after ...

Awesome. Thanks.

The art of Trading MAs

No, no. I understand that fully. I just wanted to see if you saw any setups today on any of your pairs to make sure that I am seeing (or not seeing) the same things you are and thus properly trading the system. Cheers, Scott

The art of Trading MAs

Thanks, endroute. I have learned the same thing. By the way, speaking of opportunities, did you see any today? I wasn't glued to my terminal, but I sure didn't notice any proper setups on my end. Now you are trading two currencies that I am not, so ...

Endroute, I also have been reading this thread with great interest and really wanted to comment a couple times, but I have been in "FF purgatory" the last two weeks. I inadvertently mentioned a commercial Forex product in a response to another ...

A couple more questions for Paulus (if he is still around) or anyone else that might know... 1) Can there be any dojis between the signal bar and the entry bar and the signal still be valid? I am assuming not. 2) As far as a take profit, I know it ...

5 Min Keltner System

Thanks for the clarification, Paulus. Have a great trip. I guess the rest of us will use this time to practice your method... Scott

5 Min Keltner System

Hi, Paulus. A couple questions when you get a chance... 1) Regarding your #4 rule for going long (stoch normal ticks up at the same time as an up bar), does it matter if that stoch rises above 20 when it ticks up on this bar? Is that still a valid ...

5 Min Keltner System

Paulus, I agree 100%. One problem for me now is that I work full-time during the day here (8:00 to 17:00 ET), though I am usually able to loosely monitor a trading system such as yours. I'm thinking an EA for your method would be ideal. I just ...

5 Min Keltner System

Paulus, Congrats on the system. Looks like it is coming along quite well! And thank you for all the clear, annotated charts. They really do help. I just wanted to ask one thing. Where did the signal line on the 5,3,2 stoch go to? One minute it was ...

Fry, if you get time, you might post an occasional summary of your results (perhaps weekly?). Thanks, Scott

Daily Breakout Any Pair

Fry, This is indeed similar to a couple other systems here on FF, but it is slightly different. So plow ahead and let's see what becomes of it. I like these breakout type systems. Any particular reason for the 15-minute TF, by the way? Did you test ...
