Gertje, I am thrilled to read about your success.

I have not kept up with your exploits apart from reading your posts briefly. My post 1 refers to this post http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 96#p157896

Is it still relevant?

Hi,Steve,

Basically, yes.
It is the way I have the EA set up.

Just a small update.
The experimental demo has had a MC last week, it couldn’t cope with the DD I stupidly created.

The fully automated demo on the other hand is doing extremely well, with the following last three weeks;
19-2: 4,05%
26-2: 2,02%
5-3: 4,29% till now

My life cent-account is hanging on for dear life, I managed to close several pairs last 2 weeks with no substancial loss. My gut tells me tomorrow will be kill/ be killled as most of the remaining pairs are at the good side of the sixth, and are supposed to return in the next couple of day’s/ weeks.
BUT we’ve all thought that before........

I will keep you updated.

It is interesting how you are avoiding yen pairs :!!:

Well.....
Actually, it is not on purpose.
Most of the yen-pairs are halfway between the sixth, and not tradeble.
Others were not entered by the EA, some have just finished their TP.

Hi Gertje :hi:

Does your fully auto account also use the same 10 buffer pips as your 3 set files?

I'm analysing my POS trades and their position on the charts and I think 10 pip distance on 4H is too close for comfort

Often 10 pips will take us into a trade and we will keep riding the 6th

Nope, it uses 5 pips...

It might keep riding the 6th, but on H4 it WILL go “the right way” in the end.
It might take some time, as i’m learning on my cent-account right now.
I have seen 90% DD, already gave up on the account, but it recovered to 45% DD at the moment.
Still 9 pairs to close right now.......

Look at the open trades right now, JPY making it’s move.....
The longer I trade this, the more i’m convinced that the movements are on purpose, due to people on the other side of the screen.

Do you remember Scooby-doo from our FF and very early SHF days? He was (or at least claimed to be and I have not reason to doubt this) a retired and very rich former big bank trader?

He taught us that BOJ would manipulate the markets at about 1.00 AM London time if it needed cash to finance the purchase of oil.

That was a decade ago and who knows what BOJ might be getting up to these days. What we do know is that we do not want to be on the wrong side when a central bank intervenes - remember the Swissy that I quote early in all of my threads these days?

Good to see you on the right side.
