Thanks Monaco, I would like to test the ATR to give me an idea of how it could work with my system or not as the case may be. On my broker's charts the ATR just shows at the bottom of the screen and not within the chart. The standard setting is 20 ...

Hey Monaco Interesting suggestion - 200 SMA seems to be something I hear about a fair bit. I see on GU for example, I would only have placed long trades since about mid April 06. Someone else mentioned ATR as well for staying in the trend. It's a ...

Since posting, I've looked at the other 12 pairs my broker offers & there is nothing there meeting the criteria. Therefore I'll pass - it's only if I had a free position and there is a trade staring me in the face so it may not be that often it ...

Hi Tiki, Before I start, great signature you have there OK, yes Isotonic is someone whose opinion I respect very much, despite him looking like a chimp (oh, I thought everyone had a real piccy for their avatar ) Being a trend based system, ...

You are right of course - I'm trying not to dwell on it but it's the first time I've been in this position trading live & it will be useful in the future to look back at how I coped with such a situation & how I may have handled it better. Every ...

Wow! That was a post and a half A lot of what you say is how I feel - I jumped from one system to another until I thought I better come up with one of my own that I fully understand lol. Analysis paralysis - you're right, a simple system is ...

Thanks Some great comments here. As far as a 'new version' is concerned it wouldn't be new as such because the system actually works OK on every pair I've looked at - some better than others obviously. The thought about adding another ...

Haha, That's what I'm really concerned about - screwing it up Not in the sense of failing but more in the sense of not staying true to what has proved to be successful in the past. I'm convinced it will work long term because markets do trend ...

Yes, There's so much to think about - I guess if I can make a better fist of the ranges then I really will have found something! My other thought was not to necessarily restrict myself to 5 pairs. For example, once I'm in a trade at break even or in ...

Hehe, Just got up this morning to find my trades getting stopped out one by one lol so I wasn't a happy chappy. Anyhow, work is now over & the world seems a better place UJ is currently up 180 pips - can lock in 116 tonight so all is not lost by ...

Thanks, Your comments are really appreciated I've been looking at maybe changing one of the pairs (possibly USDCAD) to either AUDCAD or EURCAD as on backtesting they both perfom better. That's no guarantee of course that this will be the ...

OK, my GU long has now been stopped out for minus 39 pips lol. Let's see if it bounces right off my s/l at ends up in the 9600's or whether my s/l has saved me further losses. For anyone reading this must be great fun lol - I see the views are going ...

Just noticed on closed trades I'm down 1005 pips this month! Wow, I can't see a month in the last two years that would have been worse than this. Well, should have some on my UJ trade to help me out.

Steviet's Live Trades!

Oh deep joy. EU & UCHF stopped out for minus 38 & minus 47 pips. GU looking vulnerable too. Only UJ currently up over 160 pips but getting far too many losers and my patience is wearing very thin. Must stay positive but I must admit it's getting ...

OK, been another 'interesting' day lol. Two trades still on........... GBPUSD long from 1.9516 (s/l 1.9477 guarantees minus 39 pips) USDJPY long from 119.57 (s/l 119.62 guarantees plus 5 pips) On GU we have had 3 consecutive days of higher highs & ...

Hi Rick, SRDC was a thread here in FF by a guy called 'Orange Roshan' or something like that but I believe he and his followers have moved on. Sorry to hear about your UJ trade - this market can be very annoying at times but that's why we love it ...

This is a very interesting post and it may be taking a slight tangent from the original question but here goes : You may or may not have been referring to my journal as an example but you have posted in it. Anyhow, as you know my method is a daily ...

Honest answers please! Are you successful trading on Forex or not?

Great, thanks - I need to study the crosses to get a better feel for the currency

Don't mind at all - times like these I need as many comforting words as possible lol. Yup, December I made 447 pips in GU but this doesn't really reflect because I closed a 761 pip trade early Dec carried over from November. The rest of December I ...
