you can drag and drop the currency name from the list on the left onto the chart. This way you can change the currency on the same chart with the same template.
Actually... I think that a human stop loss is better... as you are able to see each move's limits... When I use a predefined value I get stopped out too early or I lose too much. When I simply use the previous low/high as a stop loss I get stopped out fewer times...
But I am relatively new to...
It's all about the bottom line
The fact is... we are in this for the money... if it is through shortcuts or through long term study... doesn't matter. In the end you want to see your account grow. Simple as that.
Has anyone used this EA?
ZigAndZag_V2 - MQL4 Code Base
Back-testing on the 30 min time frame is giving exceptional results... ignoring the "close at stop" at the end...
I will be testing it live next week on a demo account... just wanted to see if anyone has already tried it...

I don't know.... I created a small account to see if I will actually survive the forex market... so If this fails... I might just stop it altogether....
or maybe I will create another small account and play around more...
I'll make up my mind in four months... or when my account is...
You turn your back for one day.......
Anyway... I must say I am sorry to have offended so many by my 6 months limit... but this is a personal conviction and I am putting it to the test....
like Mr.J-Arthur I have been risking very little amounts of money and occasionally making enough to...
Interesting turn of topic.... I started this thread to get people's input on technical analysis and got something else...
anyway... thanks rols for the strategy...
I have to say... I feel like I walked into a trap :) but to assure you people.. I came into trading with a very good background...
Good to hear... I think 2 years is unrealistic... but.... it is comforting to hear since I have an excuse for not succeeding in my own target time frame... although I think I should be turning things around this month...
I am actually surprised to hear this...
However.. I think I should be able to learn it much faster.... there is a lot of material to learn from and once you actually trade real money you have to learn things way faster...
Anyway... things are looking up... even if today was not a good money...
Two years??? If I am not making profits within six months... then I should not be trading. I think it is just about finding the right way to do things... and technical analysis is not it for me. I have tried back testing many strategies and they do not give consistent results... all depends on...
I have only been trading for about two months... and have been swinging up and down between gains and losses.... mainly because I was trying to find a good strategy using indicators... but it just doesn't work... even the ones that are sold on the market seem to have a 50/50 chance of making...
