Correlations come and go or persist over a long time if country relations persist. Certainly major pairs (USD, EUR, JPY, GBP) will continue to affect each other on a regular basis. Certain currency pairs are closely related, even correlated, at ...
Why such strong correlation of pairs?

Yes, I agree with your point: it would be nice to have the 2 pip stop loss from the start, but perhaps Zen Leow's new version is the next best thing because it narrows the stop if it at all trades in your direction.

Yes, I used 2 pips for the entry Pip Distance. StopLoss at 5. I kept most of the settings at default. I did change the "Add_Spread to StopLoss" to true (instead of false).

This is in response to a post from a long time ago, but I've been recently digging into the subject and came across this site which has a lot of interesting articles (at least to me). Maybe it is of use to someone: url url

I agree. I like his statement, "All markets have a tendency to trend beyond random" which contradicts the random walk theory to an extent. There will always be disputes between 'Is the market random or not random?', but I think acrary's take on the ...

Acrary — Good thread and interesting discussion here, especially relating to Acrary at ET. I hadn't read his stuff until recently, but I found his last post on a thread from 5 years ago ("System Development with Acrary") particularly ...

Holy Grail — Holy Grail seems to be the most used term on Forex Factory. Anyone disagree? I am also impressed with the EA and really appreciate Ronald's efforts. Thank you, Ronald. That said, I am also reminded of his words from an earlier ...

Yes, I know it's supposed to perform better with more bars but it worked for week 1 so I kept it the same. I'd be interested to hear of other people's results over the past weeks if they have them.

This week's results — This is what the EA did for me this week. The EA only traded on Tuesday (9/7) of this week but it did very well, making 305 pips ($305) in that time period. It took the rest of the week off. I kept the settings the same ...

Optimization — Ronald, I don't know if this was already covered, but do you reapply the EA to the chart on a periodic basis (perhaps weekly) so the system will recalibrate or do you just do that once? I guess what I'm asking is does the EA ...

I wanted to use more bars but was having some trouble loading additional bars; I ended up with just about 5,000. I just used the default StopLoss and TakeProfit. Both were 200. This was using the stevegee58 version.

Good post. I agree. Trading is a probabilities game, and making your trading as systematic as possible is key. You need to have definite rules for entry/exit and stick to those rules. I think it's also important to remember that anything can happen ...

Thanks — Bytebodger, Great bar counting concept for identifying existing trends and reversal points! Trend is something that is easy to define in retrospect--harder in real time. But your method appears to be a simple and effective way to ...
