ICC Forex System testing

caught the 100 on £¥ but missed it on €¥ - brokers too busy & it slipped back too far

got it that time!

yen crosses still printing some very big 5m candles... entries need to have the right timing in these sort of conditions

€$ stopped out at -10 during the ever-deadly teabreak

another short signal in £¥ and my first today in cable there but I'm quitting while I'm ahead in these conditions

EOD Pip Report:

Not as mental as yesterday, but these results are still being hugely distorted by some major volatility, at least by recent standards. A good morning was threatened by tripping over the US market opening, but then got reprieved by another couple of centuries.
It's going to be boring when normality resumes!

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 rejected through timing (e.g. lunchtime, or just before a major economic data announcement) or through poor personal judgment.

Decent morning, useless afternoon. Interesting that the system didn't give me any sell signals on €$ or €¥ p.m.... by eye, there was only one real down-move at 14:50 but they covered alot of ground nonetheless. Sometimes they'll fit in well with your system, sometimes they won't - can't win 'em all.

Note to self:
Judgment calls don't work as well as the system works.
That's why you came up with a system, dullard!
