I know I said the 2 pairs that I would focus on were GBP/USD, USD/JPY but just to show I am not cherry picking charts to fit in with this system I would like some of you to give me a pair and a time to show examples on just to show you that I’m not cherry picking charts.
This could be something like, EUR/USD, between 24th July - 27th July.
Try and keep it limited to a few days so Im not going throught lots of data.
Anyway; what constitutes an entry and exit? I see MAs mainly and trendlines. What TF chart is used? I guess these questions will be answered in the following installments of the system, look forward to reading more.
Also i understand the buy signal you have in your pic but i dont understand the sell is it not always the blue when it is above you buy and when it is below you sell?
also with the shift in the sma´s is not the buy and sell signal apear mutch later then it shows in a backtest ? 5 periods later or am i whrong here ?
in your picture the red bar #5 indicating a sell, the red sma is crossing above blue not below. Is that a typo? did you mean to say the opposite?
Here is a picture of Feb16 through Feb18 GBP/USD 1H. Between the two vertical black lines.
Seems like there should be some way to avoid it during these ranging periods? Hard to see making anything there.
all three MAs are 5 period so they are an average of the last five bars. So it’s not that it doesn’t appear, just that it averages the last 5, so it’s lagging like all MAs, that’s not necesarily a bad thing. Just have to keep it in mind.
I trade a 1h strat, you have to get good at recognizing when it’s trending and when it’s ranging. When it’s trending the strat is obvious, follow the trend. When it’s ranging, do the bollinger bounce. Two different ways that price can behave so you need two different ways of trading it. And you need to be able to recognize the difference.
I think the best think for me to do is make a video with a few real time trades to show and explain this part of the system so far. This will make it easy to understand and see it in action.
I will do this next week one the markets are open.
well rulimia22 i im verry curious how he makes the trades and hope he will show us how to do it. I had hoped for one of your system but i could not use anyone of them the latest have to many wipsaws. The other one with highs and lows i did not really get and i dont think many did.
