Chinook's EUR/USD (E/$)Mumblings

I have been looking for automated strategies for some time now, and allthough I still think it's possible, I have since taken the signals I used as early input and started using them myself.
There is this little variable called x which seems to put all my automated systems into a loss for now, but I can clearly see and many times control it with my hands - just not with my brain.

For now I put my trust in my index-finger, but am always looking for the brainchild to start working on it's own.

I guess you got your target now, 1.34+ was the 30+ ticks you were looking for - and the quick pullback was there like you said. But then typing on ET can cause some missed opportunities.

At least the volumes have started to dwindle.

No, I'm still trailing this. What I meant by 30 ticks is the potential sudden cascade of stops. I set my target little bit below 1.3430 for now. That's just in case we have sudden upwards pulse.

It takes a while to convert ideas into code--well at least for me. I'm hoping that if I can automate it, it'll cut down my overtrading impulses. In my case, automation would be taking signals from TS and manually executing trades. The full "real" automation should come later on. But I don't trust Tradestation at this time for it.
 
I'm still trailing this madness. I even scaled in at 26 and exited that part at 41.

Edit: I again added at 27. I think this'll pop 50. I have a partial target at 54.
 
anyone remember seeing on the net a chart about euro value as of 10 years ago? i saw this and i know euro did not exist but i remember seeing it now i don't know if i'm crazy. if you know there is a reward for the answer

In December of '94, the high would have been 1.2491. Go out a few months to July of 95, the high would have been 1.3822.

Hehe:) Well it hit 54 (oops even 59 now) but I tweaked the target ended up getting out at 50.
 
Well, I needed this run up after all of the chip chop I got into earlier. Old Chinook would have exited long at 1.3399 and then start shorting full blast over 1.3400 :) Lessons like this have been learned very hard way many times...

Data from before the introduction of the euro is composed of the different currencies participating in the single currency (D-Mark, French Franc, etc). So it is the virtual EUR/USD rate.
 
Chinook - you mention backtesting systems using TradeStation. How much is TradeStation to purchase/a month in fees? Where do I get it? Is the software easy to operate?
