It looks like it needs a filter/buffer zone before taking the signal to avoid whipsaws, but maybe the 1 period open ema and 1 period close might fulfill that purpose.

Might be good to compare the performance of the two. Is there a preferred currency or least preferred currency this works on, as this was the specificied case with the Tunnels, per documentation.

No preferred currency that I know of.
I jotted down the notes last year when I was at a seminar.
I don't use it.

Why did you choose not to use it or get around to it? Trades to infrequently for your trading style?

I trade near support and resistance.
The river and the tunnel trade in the middle of my trading range.
I apologize when I gave you the range for the EURO in my last post.
I gave you the range for the futures.
I went long at 1.2840 when it pulled back.
I'll sell some near 1.2872 and trail my stop on the rest.

Hope it works out for you! How many contracts do you trade regularly with each trade? Since you are always playing S/R, you can easily keep it consistent OR perhaps depending on the number of tests to S/R, you size your positions differently?

Also, what interval chart did you use to make this entry? The sixty minute you provided earlier? I notice that TRO's 200 day bar high is also just above your 1.2804 line. Did you see a bullflag just prior to entry? On a 100 tick bar chart with Darvas box I noticed, the top of which was 1.281, there was what looks like a bullish flag pole followed bya bearish candle (flag)?

Ali,

These are my rules.

I trade between 2-3 futures contracts depending on how big the area of support or resistance is and how close it is to fresh support or resistance.
This trade was 2 contracts since the top of the range was only 32 pips away.
I only trade the first test of support or resistance.
That is the highest odds, lowest risk trade.
In order to trade with the trend, I pass on shorts if what I am trading is in an uptrend which limits the number of trades I take many times.

The disadvantages are.

I have to be in front of the computer in order to trade because I can't find anyone who can code an automated strategy based on my method.

I need to watch the markets around the clock because of reason number 1.

My stop is at 1.2858 on my other contract so I can do some work around the house.

Bye

Talk to you later then---enjoy the 4th tomorrow!

Afterwards, when you are back online, perhaps you can tell me how do you find the futures currency contracts? What are the risk/rewards, outside of your unfortunate experience with bankruptcy of your forex company/account, compared with Forex?

Until next time, then, stay away from too many burgers and dogs!

The bull flag breakout is on the 5 minute chart at 1.2839 on the Euro future. I use the 5 minute for entry.
