5 January 2010... No, the method doesn't always win. Here is a loser that occured just yesterday. Under inspection, in this case TSF Mavin got us into a sell position a bit too early. The market corrected, easily taking out the stop loss. But you ...

Here's another example from 7 December 2009. This is another case where the original order following the first fully qualified bar never triggered. A bit later we see that another fully qualified bar forms with a better entry price. We say "better" ...

Chart from tonight, 6 January 2010. Pretty straight forward trade today.

Why did I put TAD... I meant TSF Mavin... Must be cause I was typing on my phone. Anyway, ANOTHER WINNER tonight! Wasn't actually at the computer but it seems to have been sometime since the top of this hour. I'll probably post a chart in ...

TAD Mavin signaled a buy at 146.96 at the close of the 2:30 GMT bar. The order executed shortly after. I am now waiting the follow through.

I like the simplicity. Do you have any results to post with this? How many trades in an average day. Percent wins. Percentage profits earned. Any recommendations on trade size? Have you been doing this for awhile (forward testing), or have you only ...

I have not tried it on other pairs. I believe it is likely that SOME settings will work with SOME pairs, but THESE settings are a reasonable start for GJ. I have had a cursory look at some other pairs with these settings and was not impressed. I'm ...

As originally stated... BUY orders are placed at 1 pip above the fully qualified bar PLUS Spread. This way the order should fill when the bid price (which is reflected on the MT4 platform by default) reaches one pip above the previous qualified bar ...

Headed off to my day job now. I'll be checking at odd intervals through the day, but posting is tough for me. I'll be putting up more charts over the next day or so. As for Monday's (Today's) loss... I'll be posting about that too. I had a strange ...

18 December 2009 -- This is a very good one to show what can happen. The first fully qualified bar doesn't execute before an improved qualified bar (both of these were sells by the way) formed. I placed my original order. I moved it for the first ...

I see you lurkers out there... No problem. But soon I'll be leaving for work and won't be able to answer questions for a few hours. My time is very limited for trading, let alone posting to this thread... But I'll try.... The wife gets jealous of ...

17 December 2009.... Almost stopped out, but survived to go on to a win.

TSF Mavin

Please note, my placement of the buy stop line shows where they bid price will be when I get filled. My actually entry price would be that bid price plus the spread (which is the ASK price). So for IBFX it is currently running 5 or 6 pips on my demo ...

Here is the winning chart from 15 December.

I've seen MANY times that re-entering would have worked. But quite a few where it would not. I have time of day issues for markets relative to my local time. London open is my bed time, roughly. So, it has been best for me to focus on just the first ...

Thanks for your interest. I have only been testing it on the 30 Minute GJ. I have looked quickly at some other pairs long ago, but the settings I'm working with don't seem well optimised for other pairs, and certainly not my take profit and stop ...

Okay, I messed up... That was a 1 hour chart. Interesting how it worked out there too... Oh well... I'm just focused on the 30 minute chart for now, so here is the real 14 December 2009 30Minute chart.

TSF Mavin

Picture is worth a thousand words, right? Okay, here is a sample from 14 December. In fact, every trade that week was a winner, and they illustrate the different ways that a winner can look, so I'll be posting those. And, for the record, tonight's ...
