Those would appear to be buy signals at around November 8th, but the price has to move from inside the channel to the outside in order to be a blue signal. As you can see, it never enters the blue channel, and thus cannot trigger a buy signal. These ...

White and Blue (Yin and Yang?) — Hey Pipette, I think you may be muddling the two signals together too much when they are in fact very seperate. Blue signals require you to solely focus on the blue bollinger band. If the price closes to the ...

A Step Further — I think since the new set ups put you in at a nice spot, one could use 50 pip S/L's and do fairly well. I might just do 70 to be safe. The point is that you can risk less pips and gain more from big swings. I am thinking 3% ...

How I Will Use Stochastics — Hey drayco, You must have read my mind, man. I had thought of using (5,3,3) stoch's to exit only hours before you mention it here. I have made a PDF explaining how I will trade BB on steroids with stoch's. We miss ...

Derek, I've gotten a brief chance to look this over, and it has a lot in common with what I came up with. Instead of using weekly stoch's, I am adjusting the period to be a sort of "sudo-weekly stochastics" The parameters I have chosen are ...

Derek, I've looked into the use of stochastics as a filter, and have put a few indicators into it in order to capture the long-term, and short-term trends. I am very pleased with the results. Just when I thought my method couldn't be better, I think ...

These backtests mean the cumulative results of all three pairs, which is 10,033 pips total. When I get a chance, I will post individual results, but if I forget, feel free to remind me. They are readily available. Hey Hoss, Your S/L will be the most ...

Hey Cheeze, Thanks for taking the time here to post! That's interesting that Bollinger thought of it already. I've done a fair share of research on him and at his site, and never saw much comparable to what I have created. I would be interested in a ...

Thanks man, I hope so, too It looks like I've caught a big one(Long GBP/USD), and for my Long USD/JPY trade I am getting a "White signal" for a short, that is more important than my "blue signal". I will just have to take my loss. Since the price ...

Hey Thom, I think you may have misunderstood me about FIB #'s. I was asking YOU if you'd worked with them(I've never tried fib #'s), and that sounds interesting trying the 2 BB's at fib #'s. If you have the time to share the results you come up with ...

GBP/JPY Loss and Entering USD/JPY Long — Liquidate GBP/JPY @ 236.86 = -381 pips I think something went wrong with my broker data... or I entered my S/L in wrong. I should have lost 300, but lost 381. Ohh well.. I've gotten to the point where ...

Some Replies — Yes, that is correct. I have also thought of moving the stop to the extremes of reversal bars. So, for instance if we get a doji after a LONG run, we would move the stop to that low of that day. It could be any reversal bar, ...

Thanks for posting this Vantage! It looks very promising. I am in 2 short trades EUR/CAD and EUR/AUD testing it out; will let you know how it does for me. I've experimented with Williams %R before, but never thought of the conditions you have. ...

Thanks and Good Luck! — Hey Eben, No orders. Just BUY/SELL near the close of everyday. The reason for this is because with an order, it could be possible that your order gets filled as a "White signal" when in actuality the price leaves the ...

Just an Update — So my Long-term GBP/JPY trade is about 7 pips from its S/L which is going to equal a hefty 300 pip loss or 5%ish. I would consider it a miracle if price went down to help my cause, but no worries; I'm cool with losing during ...

Santa Claus? — To me, 95% failing in forex is like Santa Claus. It's just a way to keep the Christmas spirit. What I mean by this: Forex is RISKY. I know personally when I first started, and heard that 95% of traders fail, I was more cautious. ...
