Jem's Uber Basket Trading Thread

[garyfritz]

Shelley, I'm looking a bit closer at your trades.... you said:

All 3 pairs have retraced above/below their respective DP's, so now waiting for the resumption of the trend

All 3 pairs have now crossed the MA and waiting for final trigger to cross back over the daily pivot

So I thought you were waiting for a daily pivot cross to enter. But looking at your Exposure, Tickets indi here, it looks like you entered AUDCHF at about 0.9960, EURAUD at 1.20608, and EURNZD at 1.54695. But those prices are still quite a ways from the DP. Some of them (e.g. EURNZD) are near the top of the pullback. Did you just jump in when you saw the trend resuming?

Im reading trought this thread and placed the indicatores and templates into my Empty4. maby a stupid questin but where should I place the ds.store file (and what does this do?)

Sois,

Forget about those, they are Apple computer leftovers. Just put the .ex4, .mq4 and .tpl files in place.

Paul

Ok thanks

No Gary, check out each post where I attached my charts at each step:

Clear retracement below DP for audchf and above DP for euraud & eurnzd

http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 517#p18517
Trend has resumed here, MA has just been touched/crossed, now waiting for cross of DP to trigger trades

http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 556#p18556
Trigger - price has clearly crossed the DP on all 3 pairs, if anything I was a little late in as price took off in a hurry when I was away from my computer

Buy audchf 0.99773, Sell EURAUD 1.20384, Sell EURNZD 1.54384

This is the trade entry price not the current price

I'm trading fairly conservatively at the moment only watching pairs +/- 0.8 with adaptive TP of 50 pips. The weird thing is the basket closed for approx 100 pips, I was expecting 150 with 3 pairs. These pairs are still on the watch list, but will be interesting to see what they do today and if they set up again or have run out of steam.

Ah, I missed the 3rd post where you hit the triggers. (Thanks for the great documentation BTW!)

The other important thing I missed -- my demo account was on PFG. It continued to send data after my live account went dead, but I hadn't noticed it *also* went dead last night. Whoops. No wonder I didn't see any DP crosses or new trades!!!

Time to set up a new demo account...

You're welcome...I'm lagging a little behind on this thread, so I decided to make my charts as clean as possible so I can get a good handle on the setup/trigger and posting them helps me to think/walkthrough each part of the setup one step at a time.

I've done this before, sometimes it's taken me a day or two to notice

Gary same thing here did not understand what fxozgirl was talking about - my charts were all screwed up ... still are, PFG

My basket reached 367pips last night and has retraced back to 239pips today (Aus morning) and is holding steady. I'm going to follow NB's rules as many of the pairs in the basket still have a D1 ><0.8 +- slope value meaning we should try and let the trade run as it's in a strong trend.

I'm hoping a kick will occur through the volatile periods of the Asian, London and NY opens today....

This interests me, hopefully you will posts your results after you close the basket.

Thank you

You got balls bro. I close my EurAud, EurCad for a combine 132.1pips last night. Sadly decided to let me gbpAud run which now run -40.

Same situation over here Will from 380 back to 260 pips, I still not see any obstacles to reach the Weekly resistances.
Time will tell ....
