Hello Bob, hello everybody,

There is something either I am doing wrong or ... may be I missed something.
However, loading CSS v1.0.7d and CSS v1.0.8 with default settings on the same chart I get different results for slope curves. Please see below pics. May be this issue was discussed in earlier pages but i could not find anything.
I would be most grateful to have an advise if I am doing something wrong.

As always, thanks for help

Armen,

I too have problems displaying CSS 1.0.7d, getting red/green only occasionally, and have goldenrod color mostly.
Can you be kind enough to attach the CSS v 1.0.8, since I have not seen this update. Maybe this update solves my problem !


Thanks,

Athar.

GBP/JPY

OK, I sold the Geppy for a bargain at the 153.80 and put a tight stop above 1.5438.

Sunday night I bought GBP/CAD at the 1.5812 mark with my stop below the 1.5732 mark.

I also sold the EUR/CAD at 1.3464 with stop below 1.3400 area.

I also sold the USD/CHF at .9348 with stop behind the .9470 mark.

All doing fine and pulled profit off of G/C and E/C

Where do you think you went wrong?
Gertje wrote: Easy; over-exposure to the JPY.

At one point I had 50 trades buying against the JPY. That's 0.5 lots on a $2.500 account.
Great when the plan fits, but not so great when the plan falls apart.

Then I made the decision to stay in the GBPJPY and EURJPY trades when both pairs were at BE. Would I have closed, the DD on the remaining pairs was not enough to MC the account.

Finally I decided to keep my profits from last week by not closing everything out when I had the chance. Instead of just my winnings, I now lost 85% of the deposit.
As long as we are sharing true confessions, I had a very similar situation about three weeks ago. I had doubled my account this year and was on top of the world. When my plans fell apart, overnight I lost all my profits for the year.

Gertje, I truly feel your pain. Fortunately, we have Bob to help us through our mistakes and to put into perspective the real issues.

But we are still below MA240.

So breaking above WP line is really buy signal (when we are below 240 line) or maybe breaking below WP line now will be a sell signal (I'm not talking about jpy fundamentals, just about 10.4 rules/booklet) ?

Oh... just to let you know. I'm not going to short the yen.. how it ends you can see one post above LOL

They are different by design.
The first is for the tradingcharts, the second is for the info-page.

Great trades Jim. Looks like you are using swings or S/R for stops as well. Guessing E/C was a buy as stop below, not countertrend, and profitable that way.

Awesome.
