I forgot to mention that the results are based on a 10k account with taking 1% risk on each trade.......

I have started to back-test this strategy unfortunately with bad results .. i stopped actually doing it i just did from Jan. 2006 till 31 Dec 2008 .. with bad results i thought maybe it because the market has changed because the strategy was submitted by Cocky-monster in the summer of 2010 so i tested 2011 as well but still the same....
I wished Cocky-monster would be around or if he reads this he could verify because either i have understood something wrong or he made his point not clear i really dont know maybe i am not seeing something clear...
I Got it like this for going long!!
1.Price action above 55 EMA
2.EMA 5-9 crossover above 18 EMA
3.Macd Histogram above the 0 Line
4.Macd bullish crossover
If all these conditions are met enter right at the next bar ..well here are the results for Daily time frame for Euro USD
2006 - 500 USD (8 trades in total)
2007 + 200 USD (4 trades in total)
2008 - 300 USD (6 trades in total)
2011 till may (breakeven)(3 trades so far)
But while i was back testing this system i found something really great which cocky-monster has left me ..( (that's why i am sure that cocky-monster either wrote it in a way where i got it wrong or i didn't get it )
The EMA cross!! It is really strong somebody else has mentioned it before .. And i like the idea of double your risk profit ..
If anybody has any idea please write it down ...
If anybody is willing to help me in a Team to back-test strategy together so its less work if we share it in a group and a few brains think better than just one .. please feel free to contact me under [email protected]
Sincerely
Winny
PS: I haven't tried it on 4 hour time frame maybe it works there ...
i justed tested in many pairs tht only 5 and 20 ema crossover is enough to get massive profit,sometimes it gives false signals in sideways but its nothing in compared to massive profit.use only 4 hour time frame
Needs to be tested :)
Looks like nice, i will taste it.
I have one question: what is about accuracy of this strategy ?
