Sorry about the problems you are having. I did forget a code snippet which I've now added.

BTW, I'm using iWeb to make the web page (couple code snippets required to share my movie, and of course I forgot one of them, then sharing webpage through making short link name for my website stored on dropbox

You should be able to play by just clicking on the movie, and automatically the best version be chosen to play, depending on your internet connection.

I first clicked on your tiny url and then clicked on the image to download 10.mov.

Hi Athar,

10.3 looks like its going to be a great scalper! And it is so much simpler. I'm following it closely.

Scalping may differ with trend-following in directions and durations, however, and early trend entry gaps may yet exist. Will see if they both deal with trend starts similarly.

Cheers,

PS: If you like scalpers based on market open, you may want to also take a look at an ea by Steve called "Balls to the Wall" based on the European open.

coolncalm wrote:Just a heads-up guys,

Last week, one of the foremost thought-leaders in the online retail forex world whose trend-following system CTS was adapted from, launched a sweet and simple scalping system. Ofcourse, I'm talking about the great, incredible Nanningbob! The system essentially suggests trading in both directions during ranging markets based on daily opens, until a trend breaks out for 10.2a to follow.

Always the adapter who never says no to a good pip-making opportunity, I immediately started following the new system, though I have my reservations about countertrading as many of my early losses came from ranging countertrades that whiplashed or suddenly trended and hit all stoplosses. But as I'll take pro-bias scalp pips anyday (prices oscillate so I'm happy to trade only the pro-bias leg of a swing), I was interested in seeing what could be adapted. To see what was new on offer, I only need to drop the Daily Open (DO) indy on the current CTS template and use the green Daily Pivot.

The system is very simple to follow. On each chart I tested, the scalping system worked wonderfully well for some days, worked both well and not so well for some days (PA whiplashes), didn't work for some days (especially after extreme highs/lows) and didn't trade for some days (when PA did not touch DO).

Please note that these tests are simply aimed at how to make more pips - i.e. adaptation is the objective, not comparison.

I will do further tests but with extreme filters as I suspect that they may offer a way to increase the consistency of the wins. If that turns out to be the case, I hope to suggest some countertrading guidelines here for anyone who may be interested in countertrading.

If you will like to do a similar test on your own, you can get the Daily Open indy from the 10.3 thread. If/when you add it to the CTS template, I'll suggest that you delete the old SMA20 indy as both are used for the placement of entry levels and they both occupy similar spaces (DO is similar to SMA(1.1) on D1 TF) - there's no need to further clutter an already indy-heavy template, yes?

Cheers,
CC

I dare you to force yourself to think of the top 3 indicators in your strategy and chuck out the rest. Less is more IMO. Too many signals and you'll just confuse yourself. Each to their own of course, good luck always!!
