Yes, I agree. I am not using any of the time frames in HA as a filter. I find them to be too inconsistent. I am ignoring the HA indicator in my conditions.

Yes, I understand you perfectly. Thanks.

But that would be optimizing for the result you want. I´m against optimizing trading systems.

Eval, I believe what you are saying about the Trendline Indicator, but I have looked at many charts and the evidence tells me time after time that the trades would have been more profitable without it. Here is a good example. On the EURUSD daily ...

Symphonie Trader System

I agree. My system kept me out of trouble also. In fact 2008 and 2009 were two of the most profitable years I´ve ever had. It all boils down to truly believing in your system 100% and being disciplined to follow it.

I don´t know what to tell you. I´m placing the lines as I place the trades. Maybe our broker feeds are different...? Here is the updated chart.

There is no Holy Grail — For those of you that are new to trading or still learning the ropes, I want to say that there is no such thing as a perfect system or an infallible one. The market is alive and changing just like you and I are. What ...

On Trade 5 I really didn´t wait for the Red bar to close because PA was at R3 and my regular system was yelling at me to get out so I did, but I shouldn´t even tell you that because it is very important to let the bar close.

For those of you that don´t understand what we´re doing, here are the steps involved in each trade: Trade 1: I started my day a little before. I alresdy had a Short Spike from much earlier. I waited for the close of the first MA Cross bar and ...

Looking at the chart I posted you can clearly see how much better Heiken Ashi bars are at showing the trend and the duration of the impulse.

Here it is. I´m on my 5th trade now. A short.

Hey, I´m also skeptical. I´m trading just 2 lots. Much less than my usual. It´s healthy to be a coward.

Important observation: Sometimes like for example right now, the bar has not closed but it is repainting 2 bars of the MA Cross red. I would still recommend not to go short until the bar closes, even though you see 2 or 3 red bars.
