Am currently in AUDUSD short. It just bounced off S1 with vigour. We shall see if it continues down. The entry looked near perfect. Other than that, over the last few days, I've been a bit distracted, and not trading so well.

So there's really no easy and effective way to backtest. I can think of two ways not-so-easy ways. I'll investigate and report back.

Gold! I may not do it this weekend, as, personally, tomorrow I slip into aother decade. But... Would the ol' "F12" simulator be better? Pressing F12 in MT4 advances you one candle to the right. So if you apply the template, turn off autoscrolling, ...

What Xaphod said. But also: You can shift your MT4 directory. Open Windows Explorer (the file manager), find your MT4 directory, and copy it somewhere outside c
rogram Files. I use c:Metatrader. When you start MT4 from there, you will have lost ...Genesis Matrix Trading

VO-Pro is a tool for serious traders, and I don't see serious traders deliberately migrating to tablets. The mouse, keyboard and big screen are just too convenient.

And it raced off without me. I guess I got scared out, more fool me. I tightened up my stop and took the first opportunity to get out at BE. It would have been up 52 pips. Not withstanding that, my initial reasons for taking the trade were not the ...

Well, I'm in EURJPY long. Higher TFs look good, but the more I analyse the trade for this post, the more I think it was not so wise: Pro: up trend (you think?) higher timeframe signals are strong Cons: "high1" in the way might be chasing an already ...

Yeah, me too, but "decided" that was better than losing the screen real estate to having them separate. I recall your push to have us post with a uniform template, but I thought mine was close enough. Happy to stick to a more conforming one. In ...

I took this EU short also, and cut it short just before it hit my SL. Why was this not a HPT? I see: M5 and M15 stochs pointing down matrix all red broken the BRN downtrend opened under MA The only warning (that I missed) is the previous bounce off ...

Wading in late as usual, but it might be worth checking that you have all the indicators that the template requires. I have heard that if one is not present, when the template wants it, or another indicator wants it, then it can slow down. Not sure ...

My money management is always a fixed risk per trade, and I use the incomparable VO-Pro tool for this (Free plug for hanover's awesome tool: check it out at url ) So currently (on demo) I'm risking 1% per trade, and by dragging the order lines, the ...

Slow day indeed. But I got 18 pips from GBPUSD: image And lost 8 pips in a dumb trade on USDCHF. First, I somehow forgot that USDCHF is pretty much EURUSD upside down, and that we had been talking about the massive support under EURUSD 1.2700, ...

A roaring downtrend, of course. However, from memory of our discussion of "what is a trend" from around Oct 5, I had stopped doing that, and was taking it from a much narrower view. Perhaps I had taken this too far?

Hit me with the clue bat — I was doing OK last week, but am struggling this week. I took (amongst others) EURUSD long here. M5 and M15 stochs we nice, and it had bounced off S1. It had even formed a nice (though small) higher low that looked ...

I'm guessing that we all get different tick data, even if we're with the same broker, and probably even if we're off the same server with the same accounts. We're all going to get a subset of the tick data. So my high, low and close are going to be ...
