Hi Vectieba, I totally agree with Steve..what is impressive is the fact that you had small losses for a big return and more so with open and closed trades...  Keep it up buddy. Cheers Leon |

Hi. I am also prepared to do a 24/5 test next week . What settings would help to get comparable results? Maybe without CSS? And please tell me your pairs. |

Heya Patmontes, Funny that you mention it, was contemplating exactly the same thing as well! Take EURJPY for example: The last HGI signal indicates a RAD pointing downwards. In combination with a quick analysis using CSS: JPY being strong and on the rise. EUR in decline, yet a rather steep bump upwards recently. The overall picture combining both HGI and CSS suggests that chances are that EURJPY may drop even further now it has broken out of that range. Having those buys laid out there could therefore become rather ugly. However, this is exactly the situation that could be avoided thanks to the CSS being brilliantly integrated in HGBnS. Just marvelous  Now, for a slightly more aggressive approach as I'm intending to develop is also based on the fact that markets indeed range and make big moves up and down. Using the Sixths as a tool to time and exploit the mean-reversion principle seems to be a very viable method indeed (once again thanks Charles and Nanningbob!). My approach would be to capture and capitalise such moves rather quickly and therefore engage in more opportunities. This could be done without the use of CSS. Now the situation described above is one of the pitfalls of not using the CSS. If we however - as u already mentioned Patmontes - activate a hedge when Level 3 gets triggered above the blue line without being supported by a HGI signal, then our situation would be covered much better indeed I'd suspect. My primary concern would be to avoid getting tangled in fully activated symmetrical hedges, even though brilliant work has been delivered by Steve and Bruster to cope with one should it occur (see Rinse and Repeat and HGBnG). Yet it is not desirable as chances are that you'll be left with unsymmetrical situations and gaps after the hedging techniques have kicked in. Strict management and regular intervention therefore remain paramount! Now what may be a major key here is that the odds of incidence of a fully activated symmetrical hedge at Level 3 in the top or bottom sixth-segment could be substantially less than say a hedge in the middle of the screen. The market has moved up to a relatively 'extreme' level and should be ready for a retrace sooner or later. In regards to trades triggered by the HGI between the blue and yellow segment, I'd just keep using stop and limit orders. Also will keep Tommaso's sAPBM on to ensure capturing the moves. You might wonder why since this might prematurely cut very good trades short. I've got the basket manager set at 4%. Catching 4% is not too shabby when it happens if we relate it to the 20% p.a. on average that hedgefund managers aim to achieve  Reducing market exposure, having a clean sheet without gaps regularly, going into weekends care-free with no open positions to worry about (as much as I can of course since situations do arise when letting trades open over the weekend is the better alternative). Consistently closing a basket or two this way per week would be utterly amazing and it's the goal I'm personally after.To close off this long (and possibly tedious  ) post, I'd like to exhibit a few quotes which I always hold dear by our esteemed members here on SHF:
Cheers, Aram |

Hi. These are the pairs that I am using and as I said in my previous post I am using OOTB settings. |

Thanks for sharing, if you don't mind, could you please also let us know if you are using CSS and limit orders? Thank you in advance for you reply! |

I am using OOTB settings meaning everything is defaulted and I have not changed anything. CSS and Limit orders are on by defualt, so yes. |

Hi. I am running a test on the same pairs OOTB, but CSS off. We will see how this compares. Thomas |

Hi all, Hi Steve, First of all a big thanks Steve for sharing you programming skills and time! THANKS! I have been away from the forum for a while, but I am all in again.. I was looking for a similar concept as the HGB's Sixths so really enjoying it. I kept it open last Friday and got the big Gold run up, but it could have easily have been a big looser, as Gold usually sells off after the news gets out on a Risk-news event. it was a nice test and really looking forward to see the outcome from a longer test, in all kinds of markets enviroments. I am running it on the 4hr OOTB and here is a link.  Keep smiling, Nicolaas |
