Bizarre day. 68 pips down at one point, and that messed up my trust in the system, which led to me not taking some entries & exits I should have taken, foregoing some pretty decent returns in sterling as a result.
Some system exits still seem too early, but others are pretty good, so not sure if I should tweak it any more. Probably need to stick with it as it is and see how it responds to differing market conditions now... making sure I actually enter & exit where I'm supposed to.

Key: Vertical line on the left is 8am UK time
Arrows are Entries, Ticks are successful exits, Crosses are unsuccessful exits, Thumbs up & down are signals (and their exit) rejected through timing (e.g. lunchtime, or just before a major economic data announcement) or through poor personal judgment.

suspicious sterling strength before those better-than-expected economic figures...

 

[GMP]

two long signals in € ahead of ZEW survey on the hour - took one, declined the other

Couldn't access T2W for along while this morning, hence lack of posts.
No clear direction at the moment - Canadian central bank has put everything out of kilter with its announcement. I've got Sell Yen signals at the same time as Buy Dollar, but neither are behaving themselves.

 

[GMP]

still getting nowhere... currently selling sterling vs. Euro & dollar

Normality appears to be reasserting itself with $&¥ up, €&£ down, but who's to say for sure...

Applying a filter that keeps me out of sideways markets, but makes for later entries on moves that turn into trends.
The adjustments for €£ clearly aren't working, but those for $¥ look good...although it was a pretty straightforward day on that pair so it's probably not the best guide.
€ pairs still seem trickier than £ pairs on this system..don't understand why that should be, unless it's just sterling in a stronger longterm trend at the moment.
