[QUOTE=“Detective;717384”]Hi fellas, Been looking for my first strategy to backtest and this looks like it. I’ll be jumping in and helping starting tomorrow morning! Thanks for all of your hard work, and of course to FP for his creating the method.[/QUOTE]
Hi Detective
Welcome and thank you. FP had a solid strategy with only the filtering, SL and TP needing refinement in my view
Great to have another join us, most welcome! We all have been hard at work to try and “perfect” this strategy. FP made a great strategy! Can’t wait to hear your results detective!
For me I’d only take these trades if it was hitting major support or resistance and has found support or resistance in that area for the past couple of days. But i still don’t like counter trend trading, but like Snipes says, it still can be rewarding for sure!

Agree about counter trading. If u backtest u will see that even just 2-3 bars give us tons. Thus is the addition of other filters including price action etc
Entering
AudCad short
Double cross, price below 200, fib used 7th as base then swinging low at the 12th, bounce around 61.8 Fib which seems like a resistance too.
S/L at .96300 (Fib 50)
T/P 0.95500
Considering/monitoring
AudNzd looks similiar setup but with fib 17/7/2015 and 29/7/15. Issue is that price above 200. The big drop to 1.0900 last month is tempting…
EurCad short looks tempting but above 200 and EurChf seems a bit late to go short now.
EurGbp might have a little left in it too but again might be late now
EurUsd look short too… Some pips left there too i think
NzdJpy for long but price below 200
With many ranging think best to just review
Gents,
looking at 4 eur pairs that all seems to have reached a fib retracement level and will all be going long soon once the emas cross. The 4 pairs are eurjpy, eurusd, eurnzd and eurcad. Could be another 48hrs before we get a good signal though.
Im with ya on the AUDNZD and EURUSD
The EURGBP like you said it could have some left in it
NZDJPY is counter so i stay away
EURCAd same as NZDJPY
AUDCAD does look tempting, but it is in a strong range, so it could be risky, but it was coming from near the top of the range so, looks like you could be in luck with that.
EURUSD i think I’m going to enter now it closed below the 200 EMA on the 4H chart for my chart and is finding resistance there.

[QUOTE=“jayboii478;717511”]I just took the EURAUD long too about the same entry. I agree with what you said above. But my TP is 1.5200 and my SL is 1.4950 Good luck Jason[/QUOTE]
Mow we cooking. With most pairs ranging I lock in some profit and then trail stop. No sense in hoping for big moves as i don’t see many opportunities.
My stop got it so have EurAud still. Just saw now that the cross was not there yet (lesson,zoom in )
[QUOTE=“jayboii478;717582”] That’s funny, I was watching on my mobile phone and that’s why i entered same thing here, cross was not fully done! Lesson learned there haha.[/QUOTE]
Hahahhhh really? But im still in it.
Strange thing happened. Last week when i started with the cross. I went short
14th EurUsd @ 1.11365
13th EurChf @1.08490
Using my ipad. Had it off and switched on now…
EURCHF does look nice!
I’m out on the EURAUD i took breakeven so no win no lose.
I’m looking at the GBPNZD for a long with 1 and 4 cross. It touched the 50% fib 2 days in a row without closing below it.
