DislikedIs there a reason why you chose 50 pips? Have you tested it on a lower time frame like 1hr and 30 mins to see whether you'll get taken out at the start. GBP/JPY is quite volatile and can move 50 pips back and forth easily.Ignored

DislikedI'll attach some I just did for my system. It uses the same basic idea as Ace's (Sunday 4hr break out), but I take profit based off the ATR (similar to Phils's babypips thread).
Anyway, attached at bt results for both 08 and 09, with and without trading weeks where there were "High Impact" FOMC events (as per the FF calendar).
Of course, you can take the actual profits with a grain of salt compared to Ace's, but by the looks of it not trading those weeks may help.Ignored
DislikedExcellent and thank you.
I am a retired person and would like to do some testing and produce the kind of report you have done. I need help. How do I do? If you can give me links to the site/software/manual or book it will be very helpful.
Thank you again responding to my earlier request.Ignored

DislikedYour backtesting is quite encouraging Donno... Although an EA would be great, I think your 1TP trailing stop can be set manually. The only issue is that that either all stages will trail by 1TP + 20 pips or all Trailing Stops be 1 TP. Of course, you can also change the settings after the Break even threshold is met.

DislikedHi Guys,
However based on my analysis, if apply some variations to trade managements such as:
- Move SL to BE + 20 pips once 1X TP is reached;
- Move SL to 1X when price reach 2X;
- Move SL to 3X when price reach 4x and let profit run to week end
These change the results as follows:
2009: 6,729 pips so far
2008: 8,006 pips
2007: 7,737 pips

DislikedHi Guys,
Attached is an excel spreasheet of my detail backtesting, also include variations of the strategy such as re-entry. I think the trade management changes can only managed by an EA or script as it will take too much effort to sit in front of the PC all day long, any suggestions?
