Thanks Spitfire. I'm not a programmer but I will try and play with it some and maybe I'll get lucky.

Breakout + Spread!! Sure!!!

Here is an EA that uses Slope Direction Line along with the breakout box. I have never been able to get the time set so that it is the same as the time on the charts for some reason. Maybe someone can look at it and make it work better.

I just tried back testing EUR/JPY and saving the lowest cost position did cause a problem with the averaging. Another question on the attached chart. The first arrow was a second buy in point and also the high. Price dropped 200 pips but recovered ...

The grid hedge - the core version

hayseed — I have never studied any grids before but I like systems that do not use indicators so this one caught my attention. I also like systems I can test with spreadsheets and history. You have given me some ideas to get started with so I ...

The grid hedge - the core version

Once you have 9 positions open it takes a move of between 400 to 420 pips on your best entry to break even. After that you would make 1 pip for each pip it moves in the right direction.

The grid hedge - the core version

Here is a spreadsheet using FXDD history. It appears that FXDD's day starts 2 hours earlier than your brokers and the spread is 2 pips. For the test I made first entry + or - 10 pips from the Open price. From 1/2/2007 - 4/1/2008 total loss -1704 ...

Is this a good sell signal or should the Stoch be turning down from a higher point

Breakout + Spread!! Sure!!!

Great results. Can you tell us which indicators you were using and now far back you tested

Breakout + Spread!! Sure!!!

We might be using different Breakout Indicators. Using Breakout-EAGLE_indicator (attached)when I set it for 5:00 to 8:00 on a 1hr TF it actually measures from 6:00 till 8:59. When I change to 5 min it mearures from 5:05 till 8:05. On the EURO ...

The reason I asked about time was because the box high low prices change quite a bit when changing from 1 hr to 5 min. TF's and I had not seen your later posts with the explication as to how you used them.

What time do you have your box set for? Looks like it might be 1 hour different than most of us have been using.

WHTenn — I trade large lots so I am only taking 25 pips which is very easy to obtain.[/quote] Do you use 25 pip target for all pairs? Do you use Stops and if so how big? Do you close trades good or bad at any certain time if target not reached?
