but im too polite a nun to actually say what i reckon to some of the claims claimed
u continue to confuse me Tech ---- u have derived nothing from the last 2 dozen or so posts??
BentRod,
Yes.
I set the format to CSV after selecting the Format tab from within the Full Transaction History Section, then copy and paste the transaction history information into Notepad and save it as '.csv' file.
Then I open it up in excel and copy and append the transactions to the existing transactions in the master excel workbook I have set up for analysing trade activity.
A more detailed explanation below:
From within your Oanda Account
Select Account--->
then select Full Transaction History--->
then select Format Tab
Click on the ----> CSV Radio Button
Then select and copy the list of displayed transactions into Notepad and save the file as a ".csv" file.
This assumes that you have set up the range filter under the Range tab for the transaction period that you are interested in.
Cheers.
do a spreadsheet. 5% returns a day. see what it adds up to in a year.
just answering a question on returns. dont have to read my posts if you dont want to
im none too polite, its the interwebs!
Norm not trying to pick at u but I am just trying to get an idea of how u did the trading u say. what role does the MA play in the method? you take long at over sold off or above the MA reverse for short? I just see so many false hits on the stoch signals. also u use any MM at all? I risk 1% and take profit is set by the current 15min bar range.
you enter and flow with it till it hits ma or stoch signals a reverse?

i too have a calculator .......... its great how theres no losses in this game apparently ..
tip my hat
off to the library to learn how to become a supertrader that makes a gain EVERYDAY
cheers you have given me inspiration
:
i was merely trying to give you a lesson in compounding returns.
don't put the back up,
i am always curious to learn as it adds to my edge.
do u have rules on the 55 MA? stoplosses and take profit orders? how do u determine your exits or is it all gut feel?
I am not into politeness either. so what was the hit rate of winners to losers? I have noticed on a 15 min chart if I have a few hits it can eat right into my weeks winnings. how do u handle mayor draw down on a day or a week?
I have these questions cuz I noticed the amount of false hits that got thrown up.
I see a long building now on your method. on 5 min eur/usd
cheers
wasnt directed at you. sorry.
winning trades to losers? probably about 66 wins 33 losses. i dont keep track of that though. just my balance.
i use 5 minute chart. so cant comment on 15 minute set ups.
i use a fair bit of gut feel and support and resistance. hence the problem transferring the results of my human trading onto computer trading; which was why i was interested in the logic others used to calculate their support and resistance.
there is no long on the eurusd. the MA is down. i can only short.
AUD is a set up i might take however.
the MA is purely to signal the trend. i only will trade with the trend unless i have a very good reason not to.
the recent short on the pound and gold had a flat to slightly up MA but the euro and aussie plummeted and the yen fell off. so i took the shorts when the stoch moved from above to below 80.
there are false signals. no system is perfect. if it doesnt go my way, i get out.
i risk 5% account balance on a trade.
i exit when the market becomes over sold for a short, and over bought for a long (ie when the stoch moves back the opposite to the entry. a long ill look to exit when stoch goes back below 80 from above and a support is broken and vice versa for a short).
glad to help.
i took that AUD short @ 71155. started well. see how it continues.
edit: out at 70095. + A$245
me personally have derived a great deal from the last cupla dozen posts

Hi Stormin,
Just thinking about an EA on this, is your MA55 an EMA or SMA ? To establish the slope concept have you tried an SMA55 channel on high and low with a faster EMA 34?
If 34EMA is above channel Buy only, if within channel then NO trade, if below then Sell only.
Sorry I am not a programmer so I can't help with the creation but I have seen this type of on/off "switch" used in other systems.
Stop loss may be swing point created at time when 5M chart Stoch was OB/OS
