I've been trading with the more conservative BASA on H1 ( http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... f=5&t=2759 ) only because I've had lots of work on and TCO needed my attention for trade management/exits, at least how I was trading it. TCO is an excellent EA, but there are different ways to trade it.johnf wrote:Have members stopped using this?

Re: NB 10.6 + TCO Automated 10.6
Last week gained 3.78% not to shabby especially since I only started on Tuesday.
On a side note, try not to trade until US open on Monday, the early trade is bad for this system

Re: NB 10.6 + TCO Automated 10.6
Been lurking for several months and I only started using NB10.6+TCO last week and I'm very happy with it because of it's hybrid flexibility and simplicity.
I'm having the most simple consistent results with settings similar to snowman but with ATR_TP=True, ATR_TP_TF=1440, ATR_TP_Per=30, ATR_TP_Mult=0.5,
ATR_SL=true, ATR_SL_TF=30, ATR_SL_Mult=0.25
BreakEvenStop=true, BreakEvenProfit=35, BreakEven SL=5
Stoch 7,2,2,1,1 with Stoch_OB=80, Stoch_OS=20, Stoch_Confirmation=1
Also using snowmans 20/63 trend settings with MA cross=true
I'm presently looking at tweaking the JumpstopProfit=30 approx ...and then I'll start tweaking my ATR_SL_Mult possibly higher to optimize with the JumpStopProfit.
Thanks TCO, NB and Snowman. I'm looking forward to the addition of a "trading times" filter in TCO.
I'm also running BASA to compare but presently leaning more towards TCO because of the choice of Trend type and signal method depending on conditions. The NB10.6+TCO forum thread is also much more concise for newbie bedside reading compared to BASA....but I'm reading both for self-education.

Re: NB 10.6 + TCO Automated 10.6
Hi dpc161, nice to see that you are still using this Ea. I absolutely agree with you that this is an uncomplicated flexible easy to use ea and can be adjusted at any time to simulate market conditions. I am currently honing in on Bob's 10.6 Edsel but will probably go back to this in the new year and adjust the ea around Bobs 10.6 system. I absolutely haven't forgotten about this ea. Keep it up and let us know on your progress.

dont think like that, when a system is good, luck has little to do with it.
Even if the first two will be losers, if a system wins 90% of trades, it just means that the next 98 you will make lots of pips...
I would wait until January to go live... from my exp december is a miserable month
