Hey Noon.




I`ve been profitable with BZ --- http://csbueno57.mt4stats.com/

Not all trading methods/systems fit all personalities. I.E. I have friend that trade BZ with GBPJPY, and he is very succesful; personaly I just cant cope with that pair using BZ.

Carlos

Since there is a little talk about EAs in this thread, I will comment about it.

After some optimization (wich tells us what input is the best for profit), I get those results in H1 (GU) :

- BZ pips = 10 pips
- SL = 7 pips
- Trailing of 8 pips is better than TP
- Best BZ hours are at the markets opening (7 and 8 for GU)

Comment?

More details about "trailing".

Is it - to wait until price move 8 pips in your direction,
and then - move both target and stop by N pips?
What is N then?

Or it is something else?

A perfect system does not exist. If you think you have one, please post it.

It's not my forum.

I don't mind you saying the BuyZone is not profitable for you.

The question is why?
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TRADE, IT'S HOW YOU TRADE IT!

Just a normal trailing stop, once the trade is profitable by 8 pips minimum.

THE RAT always turns left.

If you are a GREEN RAT, then you always trade long.

If you are a SHORT RAT, then you always trade short.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU TRADE, IT'S HOW YOU TRADE IT!

Hi Carlos,



Can I ask you if you trade like a green rat with this strategy or you take sell and buy signals?

Cheers

Francisco
