I decided to test the D1 after eyeballing a few charts.
My visual backtesting of GBPJPY was false, one needs to take the CLOSE of the signal candle [1st after cross] where I took the open.
Last week thursday I started, waiting for a cross. I closed 2 in loss already, and reversed these;
AUDCAD -43
CADCHF -78
To get a startingpoint, I took 2% SL @ 2*ADR20.
So for a pair with ADR20 = 100, my SL is 200pips and lotsize is 0.10 for a $10.000 account
So for a pair with ADR20 = 200, my SL is 400pips and lotsize is 0.05 for a $10.000 account
etc.
For any pair, 1*ADR equals 1% of accountbalance using this kind of lotsizing.
Here are the open trades at this point;
My tradingchart I set up like this;
I changed the colour of the background of the Super CSS to RED and LIME in order to see at one glance if a cross happened during the day. When the current bar is of a different colour, then a cross happened and I need to close and/ or enter a trade.
I don't need all charts open, I just drag and drop from the marketview right after rollover, which takes less than 5 minutes to do.
I will keep you all updated.

A question on the AUDUSD Buy, I am seeing that only today, Monday 5-Sept-16, is the is green on the CSS, but today candle not yet closed.
Friday closed was still red on CSS, maybe different broker?
Thanks, John

I think it can depend on the broker, what is the timezone of the broker (server side)?Gertje » Mon Sep 05, 2016 2:50 pm wrote:Could be, I'm with Global Prime....The_Snowman » Mon Sep 05, 2016 1:13 pm wrote:A question on the AUDUSD Buy, I am seeing that only today, Monday 5-Sept-16, is the is green on the CSS, but today candle not yet closed.

Because if they differ then we have different content in the candles... And then this can happen.

Forex is not governed in price in that every bank can charge its own rates and prices. So brokers around the world and banks can have slightly different prices and quotes. Also when the candle starts can be determined by what part of the world it comes from. For example 1H charts start on the hour throughout the world but 4H and daily candles can all have different start and ending times. Some can start at 0 GMT or +2 GMT or +5 GMT like my Oanda. I am sure Asian brokers like GP have their own start times so it can vary from broker to broker and bank to bank. However, price itself can has some variations but not fluctuate too far off of the median.
One of the reasons candlestick trading is tricky is the candlesticks from different TF and and broker start times vary giving you various styles of candles even though price maybe similar or doesnt vary that much throughout the world.

This is too easy, set the CCS to Daily, watch the 4 hour for any type of price action, say a Fractal break, collect pips, really?
