Quick update on the TMA/MA cross stuff. I decided to close a lot of the trades I had open today. The simple reason is that the D1 TMA slope direction had changed significantly on many pairs that had multiple trades open. I said right from the start that trade exits might be tricky and I think this clear direction change might be the best bet as an exit trigger. The bottom line being that if the D1 TMA slope turns back round we can jump back in.
I have been procrastinating about this for a few days and should have made the decision earlier. I have been a little bit too preoccupied with getting huge pip baskets, after the great start, rather than aiming for secured profits above all else. Some of this I made a conscious decision to use it as a learning curve but then I think I went too far.
Anyway - you will see from below that although the results are pretty good the equity given back is something that needs to be worked on!
For info - all trades were < 1% risk, most significantly less.
EDIT: As explained before - custom start date set at the time of starting this method.
EDIT2:
Doing a lot of editing here but I should say that I kind of expect pairs that were strongly trending like AUDCAD to turn back in to the trend and when/if they do I will jump back in. I think taking profits off the table makes sense until I have much more confidence that price will behave as I expect it to.
