the above is all good but if you want to swap system you would need more than 6 months of results and trading in fx. Anybody using any type of basic trend following system would have cleaned up in the last few months! if you have a longer testing period people can see how your model might have...

I wish i could have a £ for everytime somebody said "oh that doesn't seem to work on Metatrader4 can you fix it so it does!"

Hello Chaps, I have been trading 5 years now the 1st 3 years doing the european STIR yield curve for a London prop house and the last 2 years fx for a small fund. I spent most of 2007 living and trading in Shanghai so i have some knowledge of China and the markets out there. I have read through...

to shadowNinja Sounds like a good strategy but what do you do if your selected pair isn,'t in a medium term trend for a few weeks? Do you look at other pairs? Seems to me if you favour this particluar type of set up it ultimately doesn't matter what the product is whether its jelly beans or...
