I was setting here going over my live trades and just for the heck of it i went over some of my backtesting just to see how it would have performed over a month to month basis.(minus slippage and commission). And here was my results for april of 06 to january 07.

 

Month , Pips, Wins/Loses , % Wins, %Equity

April , 63 , 6/18 , 33% , 0

May , 882 , 13/20 , 65% , 38%

June, -25 , 6/19 , 31% , -2%

July , 66 , 7/17 , 41% , 8%

August, 329 , 9/16 , 56% , 22%

Sept , -46 , 3/13 , 23%, -8%

Oct , 114 , 6/17 , 35% , 3%

Nov, 36 , 6/15 , 40% , 6%

Dec , -5 , 5/15 , 33% , 0

Jan , 436 , 9/16 , 56% , 22%

 

 

Just to have for reference this is my live results.

 

Month, Pips, Wins/Loses, % Wins, %Equity

 

March , 144 , 4/7 , 57%, 10% (in hindsite looking back 11winners for that month) Started live on March 21

April , 137 , 8/19 , 42% , 10%

May , -133 , 5/17 , 29% , -4%

June , 2 , 1/5 , 20% , -4% (still have 2 weeks left)

 

 

This is harder than i thought it would be,you wouldnt believe how hard it is placing a order and done for the day!! (and im being dead serious) Recently i have slipped and started researching other systems, But i need to stop at least till testing is done. Or at least focus on making this one better.

 

 

MK here was some statistics that I posted earlier in thread.(didnt know if you seen it or not)

For those that have been following my journal, just wanted to say thanks for sticking around and trying to help out.Honestly i never even figured I would get a reply (or any help) I have been keeping this journal for 3 months and have never given any clues to my system, but still there are those that tried to help and i am greatfull to you. So now I will share with you what my whole system revolves around. Time, Time is the only thing that will always stay the same it will never change from the little guys to the big boys they will always have the same routine. Now this doesnt tell me which way price will go,But it does mean it can never stay the same! Maybe some will laugh or some will find value in what i mentioned above, it sounds pretty simple I know but thats basicly what i have been doing.

Hey Pyenner,I have not looked into the great advice that MK has given yet (But im going to ). But this has been the main principal of my whole system for my entries exits are a different story. I always focus on the 1hour bar and thats it. 1 hour before the London open, all the information I need is within that 1 hour period. If it quits working another opertunity will be formed It will always be there, I guess your wondering why ive waited 3 months before telling. Well I guess walter helped me see the light (Thanks walter).

Hey Don, any take on how far this thing could move even if the GBP rate hike is already priced in? The carry trade tension is building and I honestly don't think it will hold much more than a few days if there is bad U.S. data on top of profit taking like we've been seeing the past couple of days. However with an increase we could see new highs correct? I don't know if people are more interested in buying GBP at +.25% and holding, or taking profits on the yen immediately after? It sounds like USD/JPY is leading and the last time the carries "unwound" it was also from some false information on top of China and the Dow selling off wasn't it?

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
