"Hi folks, I am just so excited I could 'sh1t'!"
I couldnt say it better so I copied you Dale. Some people just have a way with words. I don't. I'm finally getting the SI system! I'm not mathmatically inclined at all but after going over it several times I think its starting to sink in. Just wish it didnt take so long to imput all the numbers, don't know how to import data to excel. My emails randontaylor(at)yahoo DOT com if anyone knows how do do this with delta, oanda, or ODL's MT4.
So I've been trading for about 2 months now. I've used the psar and also I've tried candlestick trading. Sticking to these till I get all the calcualtions punched out on the 4 majores for the SI then I'm going to switch to that. How many days previous to the current should I go back? On the one you sent me Dale it's got 80 days, is that about how many I need to have on each of the majores?
I'm currently sitting at a 2 % gain since I started. And I can say I'm only doing that well because of reading about Dales experience with money management. I've had several impulse trades where I've lost anywhere from 5%-10% on my capitol(moved the stops to not get stopped out), and a few gains of 1% that would have been more like 5% if I had let them run. Boy does emotion hammer ya if you let it. I've since really tried to only enter and exit when my system tells me to.
Dale, after reading the psar thread I started a practice account at delta. It'll take a bit to get used to it but I'm trying. The one thing I really wish it had, maybe it does and I just haven't found how to do it, is to show your trades on the charts so you can see where you entered and exited etc. Other than that I think I'll like it better than Oanda.

P.S. Dale, could you include some charts on the SI system to show when to enter on the daily time frame?
