Some of my thoughts + Trading System

szymon · March 27, 2007, 8:49pm

Hi Effi,
I joined this thread couple of weeks ago and I learned so much from it thanks to you. However I learned mostly from the charts you posted. I don’t see you posting them anymore. It would be great to have opportunity to read your analyssis along with charts “live”. Therfore if you could post some more of your “live” comments and charts I would appreciate that.
Thanks,
Szymon

Hey Szymon!

Thanks for showing your appreciation!!!
I know i don’t post charts anymore, i just haven’t had the availiblity to do so, since i’m resigning from my current job and things are very tight during the day.

I will have a lot more time once i start my new job, since i wil be going to work in the afternoon, so lots of trading time in the morning.

I am sure i will be able to get back to doing what i was before.

I will be posting an update to my system here very soon, which i think will be very beneficial for a lot of traders here.

Regards,
E. Lang

Thanks for posting this.
Looks great on MT I like also the time counter
For what time frame is recomanded and what pair of currency ?
I guess is a 4H but could it work for 5 min too ?

still can’t find the answer…

I strongly recommend that you trade using a time fram of 30 Minutes or over using this system, anything below that will produce extremely volatile and misleading signals.

Trade it preferably on: GBP/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, EUR/USD

Hi Mr. Lang…I noticed in your Zip file you still talk about the 5, 10, 20 and 50 EMA’s but just a couple of days ago mentioned know we’ll use no Stoch/RSI and the MA’s are now 6EMA and 13SMA…

I just want to make sure I am on the right path and wonder why the change in EMA’s though they are very similar?

Thank you…Joe

Hello there,

I might have made things more complicated that needed when creating the tutorial for that system.

I am writing a new one now which will be easy for ebsolutely everyone to implement.

I will be posting it soon, it will be based on the same system we made 800 pips with in just a few trades.

E. Lang

Hi elang,

Could you please attach your system indicators and MT4 Template? As I have difficulty to set it.

Hi Elang,

Sorry if Im covering old ground here, but I simply dont have time to read all of what has become a voluminous (and very useful) thread.

I have a few questions. Firstly, what is your typical weekly pip haul with this system? Secondly, what drawdowns are typical? Thirdly, whats your win/loss ratio?

Seems very promising, thanks in advance.

Hey Effi. I’d like to ask for something, I hope it’s not a big trouble.
since this thread is like the biggest thread in the world, it’s quite hard to follow all of the development your system has been going through.
is it okay if I asked you to write down your system again after all the tweaking and adjusting so that I don’t have to go through 28 pages to do it myself?
I know it might be a big thing to ask, but I’d really appreaciate it and I’m sure others will too.

thanks in advance.

Parsush.

elang:

For those of you who are still reading I would like to share my key trading system with you.
It is very simple and is based on the same slow / fast MA crossover method detailed in the School section of BabyPips.

First of all you will need to set up your charts so do the following:

Open up a new Chart / EUR/USD or GBP/USD for example.

Set a 5 E-MA (Colour White)

Set a 10 E-MA (Colour Red)

Set a 20 E-MA (Colour Green)

Set a 50 E-MA (Colour Blue)

Set a MACD with: 5,10,10

Set an RSI with: 10

Set a slow Stochastics with: 10.3.3

That�s it.
Trade on preferable H1 / H4 and D1

Lets see it in the works.

Profit Range: 20 to +300 Pips per trade

It is extremely easy to follow:
Entry Criteria:

When the white 5 EMA crosses the Red 10 EMA AND: the following requiremets are met:

RSI has broken over or below 50 (long / short)

MACD should be over or below 0 (long / short)

Stochastics are not in an oversold or overbought zone or they have just broken out of an oversold or overbought zone

Exit Criteria:

When the price crosses the 5 and 10 EMA and RSI is breaking 50

Comments:

In a good trend or short term move the EMAs will line up in this manner from bottom to top (bullish) / reverse for bears

EMA 50
EMA 20
EMA 10
EMA 5

By the time the price breaks 50 EMA you should have long closed your position. Its a matter of a little practice and getting use to and you will be able to determine an optimal exit point based on the crossover on par with the indicators.

The key in trading is to loose all emotion. The best way to do it is to have a mechanical trading system.

For me this is it.

Regards,
E. Lang

E. Lang, is this the only system you use on a daily basis? Thanks for the post. A lot of cold truth in what you had to say about trading the Forex!
