back testing have a look at prorealtime.com and aske them poitely to write you the code for a backtest or if youre programme minded you van write it yourself . It takes minutes after all the very easy programming is done ! :lol:

mcrae actually - like mcraes methods but would like also to know a lot more before I committ to his new system - anyone out there whos bought it yet and is it based on fibs as I expect as mr mcraes a big fan !

goslins smr lines and choppy markets for the record I tend to agree with samirkpatels comments but there is a way around this . Instead of a 50 ma as chick suggests use a 20 or a 13 - this will get you into the trade a lot earlier and whereas the risk has increased somewhat in choppier markets...

goslin smrs and macd it will work on all time frames but I do suggest eod as goslin does in his book . pay particular attention to the m/l line which is your principal guide for future direction. The m/l loine will of course be the slow one while the fast willl be the s/l . Just bring up a...

smr lines and chick goslin you can use a macd or any stochastic indicator 3,10,16- where 3 is sjort term , 10 is medium and 16 is the range which works very well and is close to the smr lines. hope this helps !

actual , perhaps you should trade now for real and see what happens - as im sure you know its a different kettle of fish trading for real as there is emotions involved and its hard to say where exactly you would have got out of this trade in reality . nevertheless its a great trade and you...

would have to agree with ddunne and eddy jo here - macd is a problem - would wait a day or so for more positive signal . Of course one could put on an anticipatory small long here - but as yet no clear signal from macd that this is going in right direction - so ita case of hold horses !

kiwi , forgot to say thanks a very much for your attached thumbnail - which was fascinating and very helpful. Where did you find it ? is there a site ? i think it would be of benefit to find a site that lists the strongly trending markets ! any more views on stocks vs indices vs futures on...

HEY EDDY HOW DID YOU DO WITH THAT VERISON TRADE ? liam

Kiwi , I havent actually switched to a 20 yet as i am still working out the method so to speak - i did find however that if you stayed with a 50 you were missing out on a lot of movement ( thi s can easily be proved by a back test ) and that your triggers would be minimised to an extent . The...

Many thanks for that Ardhill - its a lot clearer now believe it or not . Nevertheless I do have another question which I hope is simpler - is Goslins method better suited to futures and indices rather than stocks - I ask this for a particular reason in relation to yesterdays rise on the dow...

at the rtiskm of going slightly off topic - have just finished goslins book and was very impressed but was slightly confused about the counting back strategy utilised to determine the trend . I use a 20 sma line intsead of a 50 with a 3/10/16 macd - should i be counting back 20 days to...

roberto , at the risk of being stupid what in the name of heaven is atr - is it average true range and how do i calculate it ? and more importantly do you feel it works on stocks as well - given the appropriate criteria ? liam fitzpatrick many thanks

working out a and c points is diificult and the information is only available to members of mbf.com .- but of vourse you would have to join. So you need a bit of guess work and observation . Pivots are of course integral to the system and you can still place excellent trades by keeping...
