"Cool peppers!"

 

Hello!

For those who are "cool".

We do not need (should not) be shaking the air masses of the forum with photoshop-drawn stats, shake them in this thread. Clear signals, such as: EURUSD, buy, SL 200, TP 300, 5:51:49.

If you have any misunderstandings on the forum, you are welcome here. Clarify the relationship here, but very clearly and distinctly - in the form of trading signals.

 

Seconded. A rough list of requirements:

  • Only very clear signals here. No smearing like "the euro is likely to go up today" is allowed. In other words, no forecasts and no discussion of them.
  • It is highly desirable that each signal is traceable to the end, i.e. to the trade closing. This is the responsibility of the author of the signal!
  • If there is no TR, the conditions for closing of the trade should be clearly stated.
  • The SL should always be present.
  • The time of opening/closing of deals - must also be present.

I suggest suppressing the violations of these rules.

If the author and participants do not mind - I propose to moderate a branch with a special zeal to be here only concreteness. It is possible that at the beginning there will be not too many people interested. But for those who are genuinely interested in demonstrating the results of their system, this thread can be very useful.

Why don't we agree on the tabular representation of the "trading cycle" (from opening to full closing of a position)?

Go for it. Otherwise the branch will die quietly.


Let's get started, I guess, for a start !

Since I try to specialise mainly in the commodity and stock market, the signals will be appropriate. I hope that this message is in line with the topic of the thread.

At the moment there is a good long term buying opportunity for the soybean - wheat spread ZSF2(Jan) - ZWZ1(Dec) = 1:1 .

(for Alpari mt4: buy #SF2 - sell #WZ1)

On the chart of multiyear, 5-year and 15-year seasonal trends, - the situation on the spread price line as of Friday morning looks like this (version from the famous English site MRCI):

It's clearly visible that the ZS-ZW spread line is set to move upward seasonally from the first of November. I suppose to hold the spread till November 20-25, and there - we'll see, whether I will close it or "hang" the paired trailing! Assumed "potential" profitable spread line movement, - approximately +80.0+120.0 on grains scale (i.e. total profit - approximately, from +100 to +150 dollars for position size zs-zw=0.1:0.1 ratio).

For detailed daily fundamental reviews of grain instruments (including wheat and beans) go to http://translate.google.ru/translate?hl=ru&sl=en&tl=ru&u=http%3A%2F%2Fcowsandcrops.agricharts.com%2Fmarkets%2Fcommentary.php

(Original: http://cowsandcrops.agricharts.com/markets/commentary.php )

The current situation on the specified spread in MT4 is as follows now (in the indicator window - equity line of spread ZS-ZW):

p/s - I entered on the 2nd of November and now - in a very small total profit!

 
It is not necessary to write everything down in great detail in the terms and conditions. As you know, it is in the details and nuances that all the devils are hidden...
 
I suggest you make this thread an FAQ, and make the next one purely for signals, otherwise it won't be much use - there's already plenty of rubbish here. Also, if a tabular form, give us a studio of what it looks like

I regret to report that the entry - "failed". Contrary to seasonality, a day after the paired entry, soybeans began to fall in price faster than wheat. Some attempt to level off took place in mid-November, but was not successful... The spread (total equity) line went down as well. By the end of next week, I will close my sell position on ZWZ1 wheat (it's on the plus now) and keep buying ZSF2 beans - counting on the pre-New Year's merchandise UP-rally...


 
Mathemat:
Why does SL always have to be present? ))) I don't like this condition )))
 

So far, I can see that absence can occur in the following cases:

1. Star arbitration.

2. Portfolio system (multi-currency).

Suggest other reasonable options.

 

Both statarrage and portfolio systems are not immune to drawdowns. Therefore, they should at least have safety stops as well.

In general, I don't see any risk-free way to trade, which means that there should be stops. Otherwise we may have the situation where the "big shot" will trade 1000 profitable trades without stopping and be beating his chest.

But we know that this is not cool at all...

 

Stop or don't stop, stop or don't stop

♪ it's gonna be morning sooner or later ♪

 
Mathemat:
And SL and TP are more like strategy or MM parameters. In my opinion, they should only be specified for advisory purposes. And speaking of clear signals, I suggest including in the signal term just the symbol name, the type of operation (market or pending order) and the price or time as the conditions for market entry. Otherwise we obtain a hidden strategy imposition.
