The Hodgepodge Trading System

I forgot one important detail....

The EA will only monitor trades it has initiated, if you manually open trades you will have to set a SL & TP and close out manually.
It would be nice (hint, hint) to have the trade manager monitor all trades. I'm not a programer so I have no clue as to how that is done.

{quote} Lot, SL, TP, BE etc. are all adjustable to your own preference. Everything you need to start trading is in the zip file in the first post.
I have (deliberately) refused to post too much of my discoveries on the settings.

The reason is very simple; my desire is that we do this collaboratively, by trying different settings (on Demo Accounts) and posting/discussing them here so we can develop the "best settings" for the various currency pairs.

Unfortunately, this is not happening.

I will hasten to say thanks to the couple who have been posting their Charts and/or results. Please feel free to PM on any matter. that is pertinent to this thread/system.

Cheers.

Trade from yesterday and still running.

Opened a trade after a pull back.
(My chart might look a bit different than yours)
and from what it looks like I might have another pull back trade in the near future

how many trades a week do you guys usually get with the system?
Look at post # 340.
That is just in one 4 hour period, but the trades lasted much longer.... some are still going

Edit:
One 24 hour period

EURCAD just opened a trade. H4 chart
It hasn't quite crossed the 5 SMA +3 .
I think the trade will do OK ... but I will watch it until it clears the hurdle.
ADR on this pair is 141 and I put a TS at 50

G'day paulkeys

Yes the chart does hide a few bars when price is going short, sometimes. Just zoom in a little.
The number on the lower left is your pip count, positive or negative.
The 5 & 8 EMA is hiden , it is your Higher TF Trend direction. It determines when to close or open trades when in alignment with the H4 Trigger TF.

wow I'm getting into this. those fluctuating numbers came from the pipsometer, so I changed it to the left corner of chart, I assume it tells me how many pips in profit I am... cool

Paulkeys,

Honestly, I just look at the charts from time to time and smile. This HP EA does (manages) all the trades.... you can almost say it's a "set and forget" trading system.
Only thing I do is add trades on pull backs. The Manual trades I do have to monitor.
Those I set at first with a 50 pip TS and reset it once the trades hit 60 pips to 155 TS

5 minutes to U.S. Crude Oil Inventories. If you have SL set close to price, not good.

Hi Paulkeys:

5EMA x 8 EMA represents the status of the "cross" between the 5 period Exponential Moving Average and the 8 period Exponential Moving Average.

When 5EMA is above (or has crossed above) the 8EMA (on your chosen higher timeframes) we look for BUY Signals only. When 5EMA is below (or has crossed below) the 8EMA (on your chosen higher timeframes) we take SELL Signals only.

Here is some pretty good good reading for you.

but remember "one size does not fit all"
Some do well in 4 hr TF while others are terrible in 1 - 4 hr TF's and better at 5 - 15 minute TF.
Explore each pair and list how they perform in the different TF
(hint)
Zoom out as far as you can on the chart and look and figure out which pair does what
