Hi Goose. I'll look at ticks tomorrow. You can't get them as a backrest, I don't think.only real time

No. Just where it's positioned in relation. I tend to be wary if the price meanders between tbe 2 ma's however if it just kicks through and gives a signal as in your pic, I would take it. If it did it after a period of consolidation I'd be more ...

Looks quite handy. Thanks

I've spent a few hours comparing my original template as described in post#1 and that using Keltner channels. My conclusion is that, although the Keltner channels throw up one or two more opportunities when used alongside the Bollinger bands and ...

If you read through the thread you'll see I don't really give much weight to ratios. I've found myself a system that gives such a high win rate that all ratios would do is bog me down worrying that I need to win X. My stops go at the previous swing ...

You'd need to change the period setting to 25 to match into the template we have

Yes ,you're right. I'll have a bit of looking back on the charts over the weekend and see which is most effective. Absolutely won't be changing the essence of the system though, as its too profitable to really mess about with.

Hi I'm usually at my computer by 07.30 French time, as there is often a nice little trade to be had as the banks automated systems adjust before European open. There is more often than not a decent trade around London open. There seems to be a flat ...

I'd noticed that. It's the same system. I think maybe it just gives up a few more opportunities without affecting the integrity of the principle strategy?

I've just had a look at this. This is partly due to a suggestion "lifespirit" sent me by message. I've replaced the bbs with Keltner channel atr 140 as suggested.(I've set period as 25) (ReDeflect mentioned them also earlier in the thread) However, ...

EU giving up a lot of trades today. Good stuff

Cheers! That's handy

Thanks for sharing. That first UJ trade was an easy 10 pips. It filled all the criteria. Even the TP was handed on a plate. As for the M15 resistance, price had broken above, ,retraced and gave an entry signal with valid PA right on the previous ...

And talking of improvements, if any of you are experimenting with this ,I can highly recommend the add on that abokwaik coded on post #122 Makes life a lot easier.

Thank you and very diplomatic of you. But honestly, there's no need.This strategy works for me and my approach. All I have done is chuck it out there for people to have a play with. If anyone feels they can improve it to suit their style of trading, ...

Hi Tried that. Only when you try bare PA scalping do you realise how many false patterns get thrown up, pinbars, inside/outside closes, shooting stars, hanging man, etc! PA is important but you need a datum point for it to take place at, whether ...

Thanks. To be honest, although its not a complicated system, it did take a while to refine it, and, using smoothed averages is pretty important to this strategy. If you compare it to a chart with say, emas, you'll see what I mean. A lot of ...

Interesting. I used to trade crude a lot, but not scalping. Got fed up of the manipulation in the end. Of course that's not an issue for a scalper

I'm with IC markets now and so far I'm quite happy with them.Good value for money. Mind you, I spent 8 years with Oanda so that's not difficult ! I've been playing about with this strategy for a while tweaking the bb and MA settings. Once I was ...

First one fine ( was filled 9 bars later creating demand) 10 bars later another was created, yet to be filled. Second one, not at all ( maybe on lower tf ?) Third one fine. Hope that helps
