Hi ozy007
E/U if you look on the daily you could have got in around the 22/2
@ 1.4831 and then in again on the 4h chart @ 1.5268

Also the U/J Daily then 4h

Will you be using Icy's original exit rules and exit on an opposite PSAR dot, or do you try and limit the 'give back' with a trendline break or similar?

Sad to say, I wait for reversal dot for the following reasons.

1) I don't watch the market the whole time so adjusting my stop every 4 hours is ideal. I can actually sleep on my positions comfortably.
2) I want it to be as mechanical as possible with no judgment involved (except for entry I guess).

I'm not after spectacular gains. I guess that's part of my personality. Anyway, all my positions are now 100% winning because the PSAR is already past the entry point. Some traders will feel bad because it has retraced significantly from the highs (and lows) already. But I'm still in.

In on the EU, AU and UJ short right now. Did not get in on the CAD long as the stop seemed to be too big on a large up candle. I tend to stay away from entries where there are long candles. They seem to be prone to whipsaws.

I have similar positions and I am long AUD/USD since 11th March.

I am currently doing some tests this month: IcyCloud vs. Plain PSAR

So far IcyCloud has better batting average than standard PSAR.
Although basic PSAR has potential for more gains, the whipsaws are eating up profits most of the time. This gives me more confidence on IcyCloud's BB filter... (consistent gains at acceptable risk-reward ratio).
