Weekly round-up:

A special plea: please go to http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 857#p80857 and make a donation to help the people in the Philippines. Even tiny donations add up, especially when matched by an outside agency.

Bob is creating a new 10.6 thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 454#p80454 At the time of writing this, he has not quite finished the opening pages, but most of what you need is already there. His “10.4 A Complete System” thread shows over 250,000 views. The new thread will go even further. Thanks Bob; you are a star.
…......................
I am going to put in a plug for macman's training and mentoring programme http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 2260#p2260 I have not taken part in the programme but this plug is based on my respect for this individual. He speaks rarely at SHF but I take notice when he does. He gains my backing in our Commercial section; this backing is hard to come by. Newbie traders, take a look; there is a 30 day free trial, so you can get a feel for what he is offering.

I asked David (macman) if he wanted me to add anything to the above. Here is his reply:
“Nothing to add really, except to underline that the Guest membership 30 day trial is still completely free with no strings what so ever attached. I can take up to 10 guest members at a time and everybody who wants to try out will eventually get a place. Sometimes there can be a bit of a delay, depending on how many guest places I have available.”


From last week:
“There is a new trade signals service with excellent potential at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =76&t=3217” I have a lot of faith in these guys because The Crew they are recruiting are all members here so SpartanFX is set to become the Official Signals Service of SHF. In return for my support of
SpartanFX, I shall receive free trade signals. If they are good then I will make money and continue to support them. If they turn out to be rubbish, I will lose money.

BASA continues to make progress and a number of us are trading it live – link below. I made 500 pips last week using the EA.

Official SHF broker
Global Prime. Not just the 'Official' broker (cos we all know what a multitude of crimes this can cover) but my broker. I am happy that GP continues to offer the transparent and honest service they advertise at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =52&t=1394 Newbies, you will be labouring under the misapprehension that most so-called 'brokers' really are brokers. They are not, and are out to separate you from your cash. Read about their tricks at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =52&t=1475

EA's under continual development
EA's that show promise will be subject to continual development and the threads that post them will attract continual interest. Here is a list of current ones:

Absolute must-reads remain:
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =38&t=1481 Read Bob's post 1 thoroughly so you know where to start. His latest offering is even more breathtaking than usual. Once you have your head around 10.5, go to Jem's thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 137#p66137 to see how he uses this in a really simple trading system on the H1 chart. You do have to understand the basics though, so don't try to circumvent the basic reading – unless you are an idiot, in which case prepare to lose all your money.

These will build/have built up over the course of time.

• Cowboy IBFX Aussie wankers blocked my live trading account again because I was running an 'old' version' of Empty4 – proving yet again that these bastards are in cahoots with the cowboys at Crapperquotes to separate all of us from our cash. Ok, so I do not really care because this is my tiny play-money account, but I would be cross if I had deposited $50,000 with them. Not that I would be that stupid. Nor should anyone else. Never deposit live cash with these cowboys. That is Cowboy IBFX Aussie, guys.

Weekly round-up:

phil_trade has posted a link to a potential replacement for the rubbish Strategy Tester (aka Crapergy Tester) that ships with Empty4. http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=3309 It would be great if some of you guys could check it out.

New member kenykau has posted a detailed description of his manual trading strategy at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =16&t=3301 I have not read it because I have a lot happening right now, but the level of detail kenykay has included over several initial posts, suggests it might be worthwhile having a look.
….........................
Bob's new 10.6 thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 454#p80454 is fantastic. I have made 575 pips in nine trading days over the last fortnight (I sat out NFP last week) and increased the account balance by 3%. Going there is a must must must.

Old stagers might remember AshFX, initially at FF and subsequently in his own forum ForexMoments.com. He was absent for a while but has re-emerged with a new indi for which he claims is highly accurate. It looks like an easy indi to automate, so go to http://www.forexmoments.com/forums/show ... bmP&t=2220 and register with the site so you can download the indi.

Ehup all

Nothing new this week and it is the start of the Christmas break, so I am not posting my usual thingy.

To those of us who take a break at Christmas, have a great time. Relax. Chill. Try not to think about Forex trading.

To those of us who do not take a break at Christmas, the markets will be asleep for a week at least. Relax. Chill. Try not to think about Forex trading.

Happy Christmas everyone.

FXAW Entropy news for those of you still hesitating about joining. The signals generated by Craig's algorithm are exceptionally good. They are sent to a signals receiver that sits on the trading platform. A single 'slave' EA translates these signals into a form that the trade management EA's ('Tradebot') can recognise and work with.

We have seen baskets of trades going thousands of pips into profit. There is a problem with the tradebot's trailing stop feature that has seen trades fail to close at the right time and the trade move back into loss. The whole package is not yet ready for live account trading, but I am sure it will be soon.

I recommend that those of you still hesitating bite the bullet and join. There is a lot to consider when setting the tradebot loose, and you need to get a feel for how it works, and to calculate your own values for all the inputs.

Ehup Gals and Galesses. The markets are open again and the pulse rushes anew. Good luck to all of you this week.

Mind, if you are not a Global Prime account holder, you might not realise that the markets are open. GP opens with the open in Sydney at the start of the week, and closes with the close of NY at the end of the week. None of this open an hour late and close an hour early bollocks common to The Criminals (i.e. the rest of the so-called 'brokers' who are actually market-makers and worse).

Nothing much new this week, but read my comments about Bob's 10.6 below. I was a tad startled when I worked out how well I have done since the end of November.

We have a new sub-forum. We have been benefiting from Bob's macroeconomic expertise (he claims it is not expertise, but it clearly is) in his 10.6 thread. He wanted a place to discuss economics outside of his forum, so I created the new sub-forum. Read his first thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =79&t=3398

Cheers

I recommend that those of you still hesitating bite the bullet and join. There is a lot to consider when setting the tradebot loose, and you need to get a feel for how it works, and to calculate your own values for all the inputs.

Ehup Guys and Guyesses. The markets are open again and the pulse rushes anew. Good luck to all of you this week. I hope you all do better than I did last week – I took a spanking. Hey ho. We all have bad weeks.

Mind, if you are not a Global Prime account holder, you might not realise that the markets are open. GP opens with the open in Sydney at the start of the week, and closes with the close of NY at the end of the week. None of this open an hour late and close an hour early bollocks common to The Criminals (i.e. the rest of the so-called 'brokers' who are actually market-makers and worse).


Major news event. ABSOLUTE MUST READ AND ACT UPON
Please read http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =15&t=3410 and follow the link in bisk's pm. There is a huge revamp of Empty4 coming, Given the bollocks those dimwits at CrapperQuotes made of the simple version, I dread to think how grim the complicated one is going to be. More information from biskwe about a thread showing what to do in preparation: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=468145 More info also in mop's thread at http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =28&t=3016 – I posted my thread before seeing his.

Ehup one and all.

Good luck coping with the shenanigans that CrapperQuotes are foisting upon us with their latest downgrade of Empty4. Newbies with not a clue why we are so rude about these clowns, you are about to find out. What I hope is that the damn downgrade will fail so spectacularly that even The Clowns will have to withdraw it. This will not happen of course; instead we are in for months of pain whilst they add downgrade after downgrade to try to fix the chaos.

Sadly, despite a golden opportunity to do so, none of the prospective alternative providers of what we actually need have stepped up to the plate. The Protrader fiasco here is a prime example of dimwits missing the boat by such a huge margin that they look ridiculous.

Hey ho. Maybe one day, a platform coder with a firing brain cell will awake to the opportunity in front of him/her. I hope so. We shall see.
