Short Term FX System

S

Dear All,

I intend to post all FX trades in advance for a new sht term FX system. This has worked very well in back testing and live testing and will be shortly offered by a leading CTA as a new Managed account.

The purpose of my posting here is:-
1) To ensure that I have not missed any glaringly obvious points that will come back to bite me later.
2) The usual suspects will of course pick the system to pieces thus ensuring part 1 is covered from all angles.

best regards,
 
The basics....System is intraday trading 3 currency pairs (at the moment) $/Yen, $/SF & €/$. These 3 pairs are then split into AM & PM giving a total of 6 instruments.
Each instrument is treated as an individual. All analysis performed by the model has specific parameters for each instrument, hence the stop on $/SF AM is different to that of $/SF PM etc etc....
The model produces 3 signals buy/sell/flat. The stop loss and stop profit are dictated as a percentage of the opening level.
The time of entry and exit (if not stopped either side) is especially important. These are not random figures I came up with but the result of years of data analysis.
All stop profit/loss figures are what I term 'fully blind'. That is to say I take the best performing parameters form the last 1/4 and apply them to the next. Thus the current stop loss/profit levels are the ones that worked the best on the markets of last 1/4. Not necessarily the ones we were using though!!!

The system will produce a signal for each instrument each morning, the system is intraday only with no overnight positions.

bon chance
