Really tough markets for 10.x the last 2 weeks - my account has been steadily declining ouch! Still up for the month so not too perturbed just yet. Hopefully we can catch on to a few good setups soon.

Yeah I took at look at your fxbook and saw that. I noticed it myself as well. It's too bad, since 2 weeks ago is exactly the time I first started demo'ing 10.x

I guess in one way it helps me to really teach me to be picky with trades. On the other hand it's a little bit demotivating to use 10.x like this.

just wondering, do you guys BE your trade or simply let it ride?

Agreed that this is a tough time for 10.x, and thats exactly why most EA fails.

i don't think there is a EA at this point that is capable of detecting trending and ranging markets and adjust the trading strategy accordingly

Agreed, these ranging markets are tough; my account has been on a downhill slide also. But sooner or later they will end and we have the tools to take advantage of that (thank you Jemook).

Don't forget I'm still getting used to trading this system :) I've only been trading it for just over a month now. I've actually been looking forward to getting into a bit of DD because no system goes up in a straight line and I need a string of losses to see where the faults may life.

Great point, if some good information comes out of these market conditions that could be applied to the rule set the system would only be that much more effective.

It might be good during this time to look at 10.3 is a daily trading patten that Bob created for ranging markets. But I believe he mentioned that if a pair is ranging go find some other pair to play

Back then when I was still learning and the market was ranging I remember I used mptm with be at 10,2 and jumping 30. Though I get some stop outs. Those that ran really ran. It worked and added to my profits in those tough times. Even now thoughi don't trade this system. I do be my riskier trades


Note: be = break even

Another strategy for times like this is to look at PA and buy/sell in the pins based upon price action. I have been picking up a few pilot positions as they will move sooner or later. This is off topic so please delete if it's too far off topic.

is 10.2 the one with the AO & RSI? or was that 10.4.. what was 10.2? :)

10.5 is CSS, RSI and weekly/daily pivots

10.4 is AO, RSI and weekly pivots

10.3 is TMA and daily pivots

10.2 is TMA and weekly pivots

For me i just like to keep options open, if its a strong trending situation, 10.x wins hands down, no brainer. for ranging, well whatever suits your cup of tea :)
