Just scroll a few posts back (starting here #2327), I explain (roughly) what I’m doing. But basically, I’m testing 28 pairs (see post where I list them) on the 1H timeframe. I use no filters for entries except for trades being taken on the 3rd bar. Lot sizes are 0.1 and max number of trades per pair is set to 6. For exits, I simply apply a trailing stop (the 4th option in the ea at the bottom – not sure it works, I had to do it manually so far) and the trailing stops are each pair’s ADR (Average Daily Range) divided by 2. Every Sunday, I check all the pair’s ADR’s and adjust accordingly. Stop losses are each pair’s ADR. The ea version I'm using is "bouncingpipeaMpower42".


I had a rough start 2 weeks ago as I had put an entry filter (I can’t remember which one) which caused trades to be entered then almost immediately exited or exited on the next bar because a new arrow appeared (or something). So now, without this filter, the “bad” trades are kept (up to 6) and the new entries simply act as price “averagers”.

Of course money management would need to be taken into consideration – I wouldn’t trade like this live – don’t forget I’m in the initial phases of testing, so I’ll adjust as I go along. But apart from the initial drawdown (which I explained a few posts ago), this system is really impressive. As I type, here is where I stand:

Initial capital: 5000.00
Current balance: 8658.00
Equity 9475.00
Margin: 1595.00
Free margin: 7880.00
Margin level: 594.04%
Open trades:817.00

Hope this helps,
Ms_Mel,

yes this helps a lot. Thank you for your work and explanation. Additional questions i have. You said stoplosses are each pairs ADR. for the 'bad' trades too?
for example: you get your entry signal and open position. then after 6 bars you get a new entry signal (no alert candle i mean) you hold the first position till stoploss or did you take all the eventually 6 'bad' positions till positive price average? is there an indic for price average?

second question: do you count the alert candle as the first candle for confirmation or the very new candle after close of the alert candle? what i mean is, is the 3rd or 4th candle the entry? sorry for bad english.

We trade very similar i found out. What i try to improve is the exit target. i don't know if i should take the reversed signal of only a new zig zag leg or a new arrow or both for exit. I found out if you hold the (6) trades until a new signal appear and it would be a 'bad' signal you automaticlly hedge the new (bad) positions until you reach the 6th available position or trailingstop occurs. i hope you understand what i mean. and my math is right.
Trailing stop some people say it will be not profitable in the long - term. what do you think about it, cause you use it?

regards PriNova

Hello bigbear3391,

I want really to thank you for this threat since its the first strategy I used and mad me money.
Yesterday I entered the market using your bouncing system with the following results:
Long GBPUSD TP = 603.36$ (95pips);
Short USDJPY TP = 579.52 $ (97pips);
Long EURUSD still open = now up 432.49$ (68pips);
Short USDCHF still open = now up 416.15$ (67pips);
Long NZDUSD still open = now down 184.45 (-29pips).
Total: 1847.07$ (298 pips)

Very nice results for my first trades, I used 1 lot for each trade but my brokers pips are much thighter than other brokers (I think I have to change my broker)

I waiting for more signals now.
BigBear, this threat is really huge, I could not read it all, but you asked for an EA for this system, is there any EA for this system??
If yes please attach it if you can.
Thank you very much

Hi PriNova,
thx for the EA....I have never tried to work with an EA, this time I will give it try. I dont know anything about EA, I just know how to attach it.
Did you tried it, if yes how where the results?
Can it be backtested?
How does it work, like TP, SL?
When and how does it enter(when the 30min, 60min and 240min give the signal or just by the 30 and 60)??
To let the EA function do I have just to attach it without changing any setting??
I think till now my questions are enough, hope you`ll help me

by the way....are you from Germany, if yes I am too??

Kind Regards
Mohama Agha

Hello hamoudi,

no i never tried it. i only downloaded it and explored the code. yes, it can be used for backtests. for what i know is, that the EA can be used esspecially in the 60min timeframe. but don't ask me too much. i don't know it. i manual trading this strategy with slidely different rules.

and yes, i'm from germany. nice to meet you.



hallo hamoudi,

bis jetzt hab ich's noch nicht ausprobiert. ich habe es mir nur zum durchforsten des codes runtergeladen. ja, es kann fr backtest genutzt werden. soweit ich weiss, dass der EA hauptschlich im 60min Zeitrahmen benutzt wird. aber frag' mich nicht zu viel. Ich weiss es nicht. Ich handle diese Strategie mit leicht vernderten regeln manuell.

Regards PriNova

hello all,
All my trades are now winners...I am really happy to wake up today morning and discover that are my trades are winners.
Prinova, thx for your help, but the system must confirm the 3 graphs (30,60and 240min) toget a buy or sell signal.
So I think it can not be autotraded, I am not sure about my info., Ive never used an EA but I am just thinking logically.
Forex11, can you please help me with my questions I asked before??
--Did you tried it, if yes how where the results?

Sorry but I havent tried to use the EA. And you know its a little funny too, because when bigbear and myself started this thread, that is what we wanted to get accomplished. There has been a few EA,s created but like I said I personally have not used them.
