[QUOTE=Daveb;221323]How come I cannot see any of the trading systems posted on babypips? EG I go to a thread and the number 1 post is already talking about how good the system is and how it should be traded. ![:confused: :confused:](https://forums.babypips.com/images/emoji/twitter/confused.png?v=5)

Hi Daveb
I may not understand you correctly, but if you are expecting a mechanical step by step guide to making loadsa money, then this is not what’s on offer.
These things gotta be worked at.
This ‘system’ is just a bunch of moving averages - nothing more, and the poster has ‘discovered’ that by doing what is detailed in the post, that profit is available. The post details exactly how to setup the chart. It specifically states when to enter and exit (as done by the author).
What mean by: "…I cannot see any of the trading systems…"
The post describes the system and also shows a picture. What else can be offered?
Often times the ‘method of trading’ is subjective and open to varying interpretations. eg, I read post 1 and was intrigued, so I go away and plot what was posted and just sit there looking at the chart getting an idea as to how it plays out. What I personally decided on was that yes… there are certain patterns that appear regularly. However - sometimes these patterns cause loss and do not, as it were, conform to expectations! So, one looks at the chart more and attempts to consider if there is a general condition which might highlight these loosers. I find it to be an iterative process - just like a while/for/until loop.
For me, I’ve now learned about GMMA and Guppy and the trail goes on. Had I not seen this thread and got interested in post 1 in the first place, I’d not now be seriously knife and forking ideas/coding for GMMA,Guppy and Hull.
I reckon that there is much to be learned in this thread’s first post and what it [in my case] has done to lead me onto in the week after. I’d just never ever have seen Guppy, GMMA etc. had I not pursued this post 1 and just 'kept beating the cr*p out of the thing - constantly looking for a way to overcome the duds it can signal. I just kept searching and one step led to another…
Best
for interest - unzip the attachment, put the .tpl file into <your MetaTraderInstallDirectory> emplates
eg, mine is: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader - Alpari UK - RUN ON DEMO ONLY emplates
You may want to exit and restart Terminal after doing above.
For a test, get a new chart up, say EURUSD,M15 and now apply this template to the chart… NOTE:to alter chart visually, <F8> will allow you to change [B]Bar Down:[/B] and [B]Bar Up:[/B] so can see price… However, is also good to just [U]look[/U] at the initial template and start to notice stuff.
