Hi Edward,

I cannot watch market during those mentioned timings. is it possible to get an automated sytem for the same setup. so that it does the work on its own.
Thanks

Hi Shawn,
Thank you for sharing your trading approach and results.
Eventually, one really needs to believe in the system he is trading. These are the roots of trading discipline.

Hi Aariff,

Sure, there is no impossible things for a good programmer. But I'm not the one of them, unfortunately.

Has anyone tested this strategy for a year or more ( backtest ). Also is there an EA for this.
Please advise. Thanks.

backtest from 2005.1.1 to 2009.9.20. Backtest quality 90%.

Untrigged orders are deleted at 12:00 pm, i.e. 4 hours after placing the pending orders at 8:00am in the morning.

Backtest GBPJPY strategy

As I cannot guarantee the EA for the backtest is full correct, I post the results here. If someone noticed that the orders don't match this strategy, please let me know so that I can correct my EA.

Also the initial stop loss in this EA is 100 pips. But as soon as the orders are filled, the stop loss are immediately changed to the previous hours highs or lows. So I don't think the initial 100 pips stop loss has any influences on the final results.
