Its been the same for me for this week and last week so in all for the last 2 weeks I'm pretty much b/e. Its been frustrating because some positions have been in really good profit but they've turned against me and taken b/e stops for the 1st and 2nd positions. I've stuck with only the 2 positions up to now until i get a sense of confidence about what I'm doing. My trade management is letting me down since I have been doing it manually. I've been unable to run the ITM EA because i tend to hibernate my machine and pack it away when not at my desk rendering the EA useless (as far as I understand). Does anyone know of a way around this?
Hi CJ, if your budget allows, having a VPS (virtual private server) is a great addition to your trading setup. It means your Empty4 platform is constantly on and frees up your own computer/laptop. Just a thought.

Cheers
Thanks Pips400 - I will look into it. If anyone can recommend a broker for this then please let me know. I'll post something in the Dummy thread about it so as not to undermine the point of this thread. Cheers.

Try adding 5 of 10 pips to your initial trade, instead of set to break even...so BE plus 5 or 10..

Anyway, i would have thought that given the nature of the pivot, the distance between first second and third trade is some distance, so you can alway put you stop for first trade very close to entry of second, third etc...so if you get to a second trade you really should always make something....

Without your charts showing entry and exits, it's a little hard to offer anymore advice..

I always add pips to my breakeven anyway to allow for slippage with my crims...

USDJPY +5 closed whiplash
AUDCAD +26 and still going
GBPCHF +55 closed

Great System as always NB

edit: AUDCAD closed +50...AO turned red. Best to take the pips and look to re-enter next week. Not bad for first 3 trades on system. Would have had more if i had watched the USDJPY more closely. Darn sleep kicked in. :)

All trades closed for the weekend. On to the next week! Enjoy all. Happy Pippin

I know that this way system is very stable and has got very small amount of loses but in the other hand most ot these trades were go for their TP just after (or couple of bars after) my close at BE.

Any thoughts about this ?
Same here. I really liked the concept of moving both SLs to BE after entering the second trade. Unfortunately, practically it does not work. This week all my trades were stopped out at BE ...

That's allright, you only need 1 or 2 pairs à week to pul through to get 5-6% gain.
Those BE trades prevent losing money.

I plan to evaluate all last weeks trades this weekend, and see where I can improve. One thing I'll look for is taking profit for #1 trade at the 3th level and let the other 2 roll for eather BE or AO-colour change.

At THE moment I have 11 pairs open with 7% floating profit and am waiting for ITM to close these.
Gertge: For the kind of % results you are mentioning are you using the suggested lot size by the 10.4 indicator in the upper right side of the screen???? 7% for the week and still open??? I would be just happy closing all those trades and waiting for next week.

Most of those trades has been triggered yesterday. All based on 240, RSI2 and a manual trendline (I skip trades where I can't draw a clear & precise trendline)
Happy !

Green Pips ya'll. You too allison, no offense meant.

it's been a crappy week for me.. all the reports being released and end of the month craziness is killing me, so i'm done trading until next week. hopefully things get back to normal again.

green pips to you too !

Allisonmagic,
you can try using this for your news feeds , it should get you out of trouble for impending High Impact Trading News, (the Newsupdater.com) It would also give you the results as in past results thus giving you a bit of Insight as to why you have or Had some Wild swings on some certain pairs,well maybe due to the News but not that it matters really with 10.4 System if we go by the 10.4 meaning of trying to Define TREND but it's good to have a bit of Knowledge.

Happy Trading Y'all,
xrismak ;)

Hi xrismak - could you elaborate? I had a look back but couldn't see what you were referring to.

Thanks,
Dave.

Unfortunately the USD is backing up in response to the income data. Hopefully it will turn around.
