I have used the same as for GU, 15M with 1000 SMA. The period was from 5 Jan 2009 to 2 April 2010. Archie

Saintsurfer, Have you tested any other RR, such as 2:1? I think that increasing the RR is quite crucial, but I have tried testing with the EA, but it seems that it's hard to go under TP/SL 100 on GU, and TP 200 seems to high. I got the following, ...

Hi, Thanks for your input. I havenät used smoothed MA's before. Worth looking into. What sort of exit strategies do you use, profit levels? Also, how about SL, do you watch previous high/low or previous candle? Regards Archie

Simple 5 / 8 moving average crossover

Hi, Do you trade the daily TF as well? What differences have you seen between SMA and EMA? I think that since the periods are fairly small, the EMA is more responsive, but trading on larger TF's perhaps the differences are smaller. Archie

Simple 5 / 8 moving average crossover

This is a really simple and effective system. It's a shame that this thread is so quiet. It would be nice to discuss experiences and different approaches. I am watching this thread, so if anyone is trading this system, please feel free to jump in! ...

Simple 5 / 8 moving average crossover

Yes, it was tested on daily, so 10 SMA equals almost 1000 SMA on 15M, which is what I use. I will do some testing for the EMA as well. Since this is more of a long term slow system, perhaps the SMA is better, but we will see. Archie

Saintsurfer, I have been doing some tests regarding the use of MA period. Actually this test perhaps seems pretty useless , but testing is always good for improvement. Perhaps the results are mostly random, but well well... I would appreciate your ...

Hi, Thanks for your input on your tweaks of the system. I wonder what you look for at the Stochs and RSI? Any particular levels, or just the major changes? Have you tested using MACD as well, or do you get the same results with the other two? It has ...

Simple 5 / 8 moving average crossover

Hi, I´ll try posting my charts and results for the 1H as well, when I get some time in front of the computer at home. I wonder how you set your SL? Do you use the opposite high/low and then adjust it to the TM, as per the original rules for the 5M? ...

Hi, I agree with you. I have been trying out this system for some time. I also trade the 1H, because it's easier and has less false brakout. Though stressing, as you said, that good volatility is important. Trading the GU at the moment, and the last ...

Hi, When does a ZigZag-point get fixed, so that it doesn't turn into a new low/high? Is a change only possible on the next bar, or can it shift from one point to highs/lows on bars later on?

SMA? — Saintsurfer & Zebulon I have a question for both of you regarding the SMA. In Saintsurfer's strategy the SMA is set to 10 SMA on the daily TF (or 1000 on 15M), and Zebulon's strategy uses 5 SMA on daily. Right now, using the smaller SMA ...

Paulus, I wonder about SL on larger TF's like 1H. I have tested it on that TF and it seems like it gives good results, provided that you use larger stoplosses. I have used the TM during my tests, and I wonder what your experience is with this line. ...

SMA 1000 on 15M, though looking at SMA 500 as well, to compare them.

The GG-pattern has formed, but price is still below SMA, so no trade for me. Archie

Which TF's have you all had success with? I have watched the 5M, but I think that it whipsaws too many times, if TP/SL aren't kept tight. I have also tried the 15M, but I don't think that it performs better than the 5M. I am also backtesting 1H, and ...

Ok, in that case I don't know why the indicator didn't work. I will try it and get back as soon as I get some time.

Hi, What is your broker time? Since we just changed to DST in Europe, London is no longer on GMT, but instead GMT+1, so you have to set the indicator to 7 (if your broker is on GMT). Regards Archie

Yes, I tried running it on a VPS, but still no action. Do you set all time options to false? Archie

Hi Saintsurfer, Have you had any success with the EA so far? I have tried it, but it doesn't place any trades at all, and I don't get any error messages, so I cannot figure out what's wrong with it. Appreciate any help. Regards Archie
