Hello Bernie, everyone,
The original system this morning:
7:30 - placed a long 10X at 1.2560 - triggered at 7:40+; 7:45 - news from Europe that I did not know about, spread went to 10 and hit me out of a TP trade. :mad: Exit at SL -9.9;
After that, the spread was “difficult”
, 3pips, 5pips, for, pretty much, the all morning. I did not want to trade with those spreads, quit and came back at 11:30 to check what was going on, the spread was finally 0.9, so:
11:40 - 10X long at 1.2550 - exit at TP +12.9.
I never expected news from EU at 7:45am. Should have known better.
+3 for the morning; +58.8 March.
hi all,
i did not trade and was not around for the 8:00 am trade. i had to take the second part of my stress test. i did come back for the 3:00 and 7:00 trades and am just now getting around to wrriting them up. I HAVE HAD ONE OF THOSE WEEKS. today’s trades:
3:30 short, .6372
3:40 exit, .6360 +12 +14
7:15 long, 6384
7:25 exit, .6400, +16 +30
march total, +105
2:00 - +42
8:00 - +9
3:00 - +19
2:00 - +72 -39 not factored into march total
see you at 2:00

hi all,
information has come to me that it may have been major european banks that were manipulating the spreads yesterday morning. supposedly, they did not want any reindeer playing in any reindeer games! the 2:00 am trade:
2:07 short, .6448
2:10 exit, .6434, +14
march total, +119
2:00 +56
8:00 +9
3:00 +19
7:00 +72 -39 in march log
see you at 8:00 am,

hi all,
i have come to the end of a long, busy, frustrating, week. however, i just looked at my weekly gain and you will not believe how much better it made me feel. a weekly +130 pips can certainly have that affect on a body. my hourly figures are also skewed for the week because i haven’t been able to trade in all of the times slots for the week. as such, the +19 at 3:00 pm is the weakest slot. there is absolutely nothing wrong with a +19 pips, anytime. finally, though i may start hanging around for a second trade during the 8:00 am time slot, jobs friday is not the day to start. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE. i am taking my 11 pips for the morning and we shall see you later. the trade:
8:35 entered order short, expecting a pull back from a large move above the upper starc line. .6426
8:35 short, .6426
8:37 exit, .6415, move to one minute chart, exited on close of the 8:36 candle. +11 +25
march total, +130
2:00 +56
8:00 +20
3:00 +19
7:00 +72 - 39 (not in march log)

Hello Bernie, everyone,
The original goji system’s morning:
9:40 - 10X long at 1.2735 - exit at TP +12.9.
+12.9 for the day, +71.7 March.
I decided to quit after one trade, I do not want to spoil the nice number and my mood until Monday:D
Have a great weekend.
Bernie, this is what I’m thinking.
Yours 130 pips is definitely terrific.
But.
Keeping in mind the ratio between your results and my results when trading the ORIGINAL system, I’m pretty sure you would have had at least +700 pips for the March by now if you had traded the original one:D:D
hi all,
chasing, thank you the compliment. right now, i am enjoying the a/u, though you never know. we went to daylight savigs time over the weekend. i think europe follows suit but in two weeks. anyway, i took a trade at 1:00 am, thinking this was the new 2:00 am. i may have all of that incorrect, however, the trade was a good one. the morning’s trades:
1:00 short, .6415
2:00 exit, .6400 +15
8:30 short, .6353
8:40 exit, .6336, +17, +32
i will be back at 3:00 pm

Hello Bernie, everyone,
Bernie, where are you? I hope everything is OK.
The original system this morning:
7:50 - 10X short at 1.2585 - exit at +4;
8:30 - 10X short at 1.2580 - exit at SL -9.9;
8:40 - not exactly by the system, rather a “gut feeling” short again at 1.2580 - exit at TP +12.9;
9:25 - 10X long at 1.2575 - exit at TP +12.9;
9:35 - 10X long at 1.26 - exit at +11.
Again, I got a number that I do not want to make worse, so I quit until tomorrow.
+30.9 for the morning; +102.6 March.
hi all,
chasing, thank you for your concern and kudos on your continued success. in the last week i have had my annual stress test. it’s a two day event. unfortunaely, my father also developed pneumonia. he’s 91 and today he is even having a feeding tube inserted. to top it all off, i have come down with a cold. this is why i did not trade all time slots and some of my reports were very tardy last week. hopefully, things will settle down soon. the afternoon’s trade:
3:10 short, .6329
3:25 exit, .6315 +14, +46
march total, +176
2:00 +71
8:00 +37
3:00 +33
7:00 +72 (-39)
back at 7:00 pm

hi all,

7:40 long, .6335
7:50 exit, .6338, +3, +49
march total, +179

Hello Bernie, everyone,
Bernie, you get well, man!
Today and yesterday both were tough for me and the original Goji system.
Two days combined +4, March total +106.6.
The good part is that as far as I remember, I usually finished days like these at ~-40 to -50 each:D. Looks like I am getting better:confused:
Best of luck everyone.
As I have been reading your earlies post on the Goji System I find that I will try this out. I know you have occasionally added to your system, can you post a up to date version?
hi all,
i’m back. i am still not 100%, but i am feeling considerable better. one thing for sure, next year i am scheduling my annual stress test for late april, after cold and flu season. this is two years in a row that within 48 hrs. after the conclusion of the tests i have come down with my only two illnesses of the last two years. stay out of hospitals, that’s where all of the sick people are!
presswood, i will respond shortly, if not over the weekend. the morning’s trade:
9:25 long, .6460
9:35 exit, .6472, +12
march total, +191, in a recent post i made a mistake on the march total, i must have been ill!
2:00 +71
8:00 +49
3:00 +33
7:00 +72 (-39)
see you at 3:00 pm

Hello Bernie, everyone,
It was unfavourable morning for the original system again, I got an early TP and a SL loser, after which 5min candles went crazy and I quit.
+3.0 for the day, +109.6 March.
hi all,
ok, here’s one of those times i wish i could show you a picture.
present set up:
five minute charts
two starcs:
this should give you five lines on your chart. the middle one is the 7 sma, which is actually very close to the 8 ema we used on the e/u. i have been looking at this for the e/u and it appears to hold up also.
here are the revised rules:
MAINTAIN A TIGHT STOP LOSS OF 10 TO 12 PIPS
& 4. repeat the process except now for the second line from the top and the second line from the bottom. these two will get you into far more trades than one and two. use the top line for your S/L on shorts, bottom line for S/L on longs.
use the mid line as we have in the past and like the examples above. i am back to just a close above, for longs, and a close below for shorts.
for TP, i am using +23. however, i use the lines of the starc to give me an idea of when to exit the trade.
today’s trade, and i will talk you through:
i know there will probably be questions. if feeling better next week, i may over lap two charts, a/u, and e/u and enter which ever signals first.
march total, +209
2:00 +71
8:00 +49
3:00 +51
7:00 +72 (-39)

Thanks for the clarity and hope you feel well.
