In summary, this is what you must do today now that London has changed their clocks: 1. If your broker KEEPS THEIR SERVER TIME THE SAME: Change your FMT to one hour later 2. If your broker CHANGES THEIR SERVER TIME: a) If they are a UK broker and change their server time today: Do...

In fact I'll post it again now to be sure you get it. Sorry for the duplicate posts coming up! ... I've made this spreadsheet to help people work out their FMT settings and would like to get some feedback to help improve it so that Mark can add it to his web site later. I've made it compatible...

Hi everyone, I've just posted a spreadsheet to help you work out your correct settings - but I changed to a new username (penny-a) and it's waiting for approval by the moderator. If it doesn't get posted soon, I'll post again. cheers Penny

thanks for your help Paris :-) Looking forward to taking some trades with it!

how frustrating! Have you tried running it on a demo account? If you run it on a demo of the same broker plus a demo of a different broker, it may help you find out where the problem is...

yes, that's right - I made 40 pips and I'm a she :-)

thanks for your concern Fabius! I wrote it badly - it was in answer to someone else asking if I'd changed my target and I said "no - 40 pips", but I should have said "no, 40 pips" !!!

just thinking out loud... what if we halved our risk over 2 trades/EAs? Have one running with Mark's strategy number 2: 40/40 with b/e at 24 - no trailing stop And the other with Mark's stratgey number 4: 40/40 with b/e at 24 plus trailing 40 That way, in effect (assuming it goes to 40 pips...

no - 40 pips

yahoo! finally hit target :-)

that's great Roger - thanks for sharing. I agree with you, experience is the key. Though I still believe it is possible to play more like a casino. Have an edge, and just keep doing the same thing over and over. And FMT is perfect for that. I've been setting up Rebellion on 4 hour charts...

Thanks Fabius, I've recently bought Black Dog and the amount of info on the forum is amazing - lots to read through before I try it out. Good to know you use it - what time frame do you prefer? I've never heard of Lindencourt - had a look at their website but it's not available any more unless...

haven't tried that yet, but I don't see why not. I was thinking of doing that too :-) However Mark has found that the best place to move to b/e is at 24, not 35. From Mark's 4 year backtesting, the strategy that appeals to me the most is number 2: Standard rules + SL to BE at 24, and no...

I've just finished reading through all the posts - wow, lots of good stuff! Amazing sharing of ideas and indicators John - I look forward to applying your templates to see what they look like. My first experience with Rebellion resulted in too many losers, plus I was watching too many charts and...
