Nice going Bas.
How's Peet doing?
doing great mate, playing reversals off gap plays, cup and handles, triangles, and breakouts before they break. Glad you're doing well, should see you in the new year. Have a great Xmas, and give my regards to peet and DVD.
Hi Bashir,
I recall the MACD was originally used in the 3min chart to assist you in timing your trade exit (as per the last set of rules). In the chat room you mentioned to put it with the 2min chart because it works best there. Does the MACD on the 2min still serve the same function helping you time your exit?
Maybe you guys dont want to see it but i was so proud this morning because of my trades.
I wanted to share them.:cheesy::innocent:
Thanks to Bashir...
great stuff
Very good stuff sebastian, just keep it up and u will do great
Today was pretty good , there was a little period at theend that was really choppy, dident get chopped up as i put in some new measures to stop me from going short at the bottoms and long at the tops. Will be intersteing to do another week of live testing.
Last week i was up: 1650 ticks.(crazy moves all over the place)
This week : 721 ticks(choppy and difficult week to trade)
Next week : We will see
All trade are done with 2 contracts at the moment.
You all have a wonderfull weekend, and get recharged for the coming week.
With kind regards

I've got a question about a trade that most of you in the chat room made on Thursday. Now, I know what Bashir is going to say ("My auto-system did it, not me!"), but for those of us following the latest posted system here on the forum, what prompted you to take the long @ around 9:45-9:46 or so? Everything looks good except the price is not above the 10 or 30min 10ema. I just want to confirm that this is because the ema line is more than 40 ticks away. Is this correct?
Thanks!
As per the rules to the current system:
"What you need is the following:
1: 1minchart with 10ema + Normal slow stochastics
2: 3minchart with 10ema + Normal slow stochastics+Normal Macd with 12,26,4 settings
3: 10minchart with 10ema+Normal slow stochastics
4: 30minchart with 10ema+Normal slow stochastics
Rules that never can be broken :
1:Always have the 3min on your side and the macd on yourside, it needs to be going up
when thinking long and needs to be going down when short.
2:Always have the 10min on your side ALWAYSSSS
3:And prefer having the 30min on your side, if 30min is on your side then go normal or many contracts. If you its against you, go normal and dont expect the move to have more then 2 trades in it."
Given that you use the MACD on a 2min chart instead of 3min chart now, should we replace the 3min chart with the 2min chart or just add an additional 2min chart with MACD?
Does the MACD on the 2min chart need to be going up to go long as it was required when it was used in the 3min chart together with the 3min stochastis?
I'm kind of curious to see what Bashir says about that myself...
Through my backtesting, I've noticed that if a stochastic is pointing up, even though the lines are just BARELY crossing (but the numbers do show that the %K > %D) it's a go signal for that chart. I've only tested this for the past few weeks, so you may want to make absolutely sure and possibly test it back further to make sure this is always the case (well, almost always, there is always an exception or two!).
Just throwing my 2 cents into a 119 page thread
When i say that the lines are crossed, i want to see them crossed and have some spacing, by spacing i dont have a fixed rule .I just eyeball it, if i have a hard time seeing any spacing i will not take trade, but i clearly see a spacing betwen the lines that ok with me . I dont wait for the lines to be pointing in th direction of my trade. That will make you give away to much of the move, but then again, its all up to how comfy u are with that.And if the lines are flatt and basicly glued to eachother i dont take the trade, just wait for some spacing.
So no clear rules on that, just something i have overtime come to just evaluate as the day progresses.But you can add aditional rules to that if you well comfy that, that would not be a bad idea.
With kind regards

By the way Bashir do you know if Infinity offer a ECN/Direct access service for forex or do they have their own trading platform between you and the Interbank market.
