Yes Boca, I agree with you about the differing adx values on oanda vs. metatrader. Oanda's daily candles close at 9 pm local for me, and MT4's at 3 pm local, so there is definitely a difference in price data for each day.
Dale, just for the record, I wanted to confirm with you.. ADXR(14)= Today's ADX(14) + 14 Days ago ADX(14) / 2. This is how it's calculated on page 44 of the book, I just wanted to make sure you are doing it this way as well before I get my spreadsheets set up.
On another note.. I am really getting hammered by gold right now. My long VS trade entered at $945 STILL hasn't hit the sar point, although if it keeps going the way it is now it probably will at the close tomorrow. Good thing the TBP system with gold is "keeping me afloat" for now, as the last two trades have been big winners. The ADX value on gold is pretty low now (around 19 or 20) so I think I am going to stay out of the VS for now, even when I get stop and reversed, unless the adx changes drastically. AUD/JPY is still doing well for me though, I think what I might do is use the VS for entry and a di+/di- cross for exit on the aud/jpy, as over the last year or so just glancing at charts it looks like it would work well. We'll see how it goes though, right now I am going to concentrate on the TBP with several instruments and the SI..
