Ok Dale, I got the e-mails and I looked over the spreadsheets. My sheets look like yours now, so it appears that everything is correct now. The only thing that is still bugging me is how the ASI values change so much. In the book, the ASI goes back on itself 60 points from the high or low value only 4 or 5 times it seems, while with our data it seems that it happens a lot more frequently However, the system seems to be working great for you, so I'll have to start it myself tonight
I wanted to ask you though, is there any particular reason you are following gbp/usd with the system? One of the sheets you sent me was gbp/usd and I was just wondering if you traded gbp/jpy as well, or if you were just using it as an example. I plan on doing gbp/jpy and gold, but if you think there are better pairs to trade I will take a look at those.
Also, that business about having opposite positions (like long and short gold at the same time) you mentioned earlier was a problem for me initially, but Oanda allows you to open sub-accounts so I can have opposite positions open at the same time. I had my short VS gold trade open yesterday, but the TBP gave me a signal to go long, so when I did this, it closed out my VS trade for a few minutes until I realized what happened. Now I have a sub-account for my VS trades, one for the SI, and one for the TBP.
