turtlefan replied Jul 14, 2013Wow, that's a LOT of work there, my friend. Many thanks for sharing your valuable efforts. I think the most encouraging thing about those backtests is that over the entire time frame (is that a year?), ALL were profitable. So it is just a matter of ...

turtlefan replied Jul 11, 2013I would describe them as volatile and disorderly. A lot of chaos. Been a rough week for this method, even for the most conservative of us. Just gotta hang in there during these periods. TF

turtlefan replied Jul 9, 2013I'll be completely honest with you here. For you to have made over 70% on the account in less than 10 days means your lot sizes are way too large to be sustainable. That is a recipe for an account crash and burn. TF

turtlefan replied Jul 8, 2013I've been trading the CloseAfterProfitPct from the first day and have never had an issue with this. Besides, if you are using MACD for your trend indication, THEN USE IT. If it is showing you a sell, then you probably should be selling. If it is in ...

turtlefan replied Jul 7, 2013You've got to be kidding, right? You're way off base here. I would venture that most professional Forex traders trade on the daily timeframe, not the noisy, intraday stuff. Not to mention, it is an easier manner of trading and much less stressful. TF ...

turtlefan replied Jul 6, 2013Claudia, I think Erebus was being "tongue-in-cheek" there. I doubt many of us would be content with 6% per year. So far in testing, many of us have done better than that with this system on a monthly basis. Personally, I'm hoping to net 5-10% per ...

turtlefan replied Jul 5, 2013Hey, on the next release can you add a TDI indicator so we can judge the strength of the current trend? And while you are at it, could you put in an option for RSI with variable periods? Also, I'm thinking a Zigzag indicator might be a nice ...

turtlefan replied Jul 3, 2013Welcome, MeAgain. Good to have you on board. Thanks for sharing your backtests. Very interesting, indeed. I noticed the worst performing pair was EURCHF. That is not a pair that was in 100Pips' original list, and I'm not sure about others here, but ...

turtlefan replied Jul 3, 2013Greetings, S3. Well, it is impossible to answer that question, as it is different for each trade. I am using 0.01 lots per $1,000 in my MINI account. That was as aggressive as I was willing to be with this. The drawdowns would be too much for my ...

turtlefan replied Jun 30, 2013EURGBP can't make up its mind which direction it wants to go. I am going to leave it on my demo but not trade it on the live account. I think my general plan of action going forward will be to leave all pairs on the demo account, and remove the ...

turtlefan replied Jun 30, 2013Due to posting a commercial offer in both his 20/50EMA and 3SS threads, he has been changed to a commercial member and is no longer allowed to post in the non-commercial areas of FF. His 20/50EMA thread is still available in the commercial section, ...

turtlefan replied Jun 30, 2013Hi there, S3. I know exactly where you are coming from, and appreciate your wanting to keep risk in check. I feel much the same. My goal is to average 5-10% per month. I would be tickled pink to get that consistently because I fully understand and ...
