Hi fellow traders, i think this strategy works well if monitored to be able to make maximum gains. Has any one created its MT4 EA. Will really appreciate a copy. Good Luck to all forex traders.

your strategies can predict the euro/usd.

In MT4 the defaul MACD comes with 1 line.
Try this custom indicator: Good_Macd.mq4

If you follow the rules, there is nothing you could do wrong. The time zone doesn't affect trading results.

Try switching to another strategy: in order to trade well you also need to have confidence in the system you're trading.

Hi Edward,

Parabolic SAR Buy signal - the SAR dot is below the candlesticks.

Great site,
Please how do I know a Parabolic SAR buy/sell signal

Hi Lloyd,

I can think of many ways to re-work it, but what I can't afford nowadays (time-wise) is a long enough testing of the new ideas...

First of all, see if you like:
- 100 WMA instead of 55 SMA. While showing almost identical curves, it does a slightly better job in smoothing out questionable corners.
- try 4 hour charts for a change.

Below is the 4 hour EURUSD in August:

It doesn't look that ugly here, considering that the month of August has tested many strategies to the limit: high volatility combined with an extended trend reversal is tough to capitalize on.

So, what's on the above chart:
1. Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed.mq4
2. MACD_AllcoloredMM2_4.mq4
3. 100WMA.
We use the same idea - trade only in the direction of 100 WMA, MACD red - sell, green - buy. Instead of SAR we'll use Heiken_Ashi.

(Also, another idea, possibly: just test to see if it makes sense to keep this 4 hour chart and use its signals while trading the same old strategy with SAR on 30 min as you used to).

Kind regards,
Edward

Hi Edward.

I would like to ask for a bit of your time if I may?

I have been trading this system cosnsitently for around six months now. Following the rules exaclty as they have been laid out through out the entire board.

I find that some months, particularly August this year. The loss was so great that it seriously puts a huge dent in the previous months profit. almost resulting in a break even situation over two hole months.

What I have also noticed is that in most months there is generally one or two massive trades that net 150 - 300 pips. If you happened to miss any one of those trades, that month would result in a loss. So all of you other trading efforts amount to zero most times.

I trade a 3% risk per trade. My lots sizes are based on the SAR stop. I only trade in agreement with the 55 SMA trend. I only trade when the MACD crosses above or below zero as per the rules. I use the SAR trailing stop for exits and yet I still run a really pointless return after 16 hours a day of chart time.

Is there anything you could think of that I could try to sharpen this system or is there a better system you suggest I try? As mentioned, I watch my charts for an average of 16 hours a day (self employed)so I am not scared of putting in the effort.

I have studied tons of systems and indicators, I have traded this system with extreme discipline yet im still coming up short. I have looked a tons of additional indicators and additional signals I have learnt over the years to try and get a better result form this strategy with minimal success. I always seem to land up a filtering out the good trades with the bad and land up back at square one.

The political climate where I live is touchy and I would really like to start to build up a dollar based safety net if things ever go pear shaped here, So I dont expect to become rich over night or even need to draw any funds right any time soon. I would just like to start seing some possitive growth.

I am not really comfortable with scalping. The 30 min / 1 hr chart is my perfered choice.

Do you possibly have any advice for me as to which direction I could look at?

Regards
Lloyd
