Note: Deposits and withdrawals can take place which does not effect the gain reported, other than trade size and interest earned. COMMENTARY: Welcome to "Golden Arches". This is a test. Please stay tuned for the new thread 02/13/07. I wanted to improve avg. trade price and increase the carry over the weekend, with this positive differential and the favorable Daily CR. The trade is scheduled at a "get out" target of 1 pip. Next week a Hedge, will be considered if the trade remains open, to get the time needed for the magnetic affect that only a "golden arch", may bring..
re: cr indicator Hey guys Attached is the revised cr indicator (cr_v1d) as previously discussed. Maybe in future we could keep the indicator filename constant and change only the contents+header...just a thought. For my own risk management planning, I will compile some stats on each pair to determine what percentage of time do prices stay inside the inner yellow channel (-38.2 to +38.2). Cheers from Melbourne, Australia
Ah yes..."zoning the arch"... Please share if you can....this would save a lot of time.. Michael B. P.S. Your work is all downloaded in MT4 and saved on the flash memory as it represents what I will be offering as the download in the intro to the new thread, with yuor permission naturally. Michael B.

ENTRY LONG Entry: USD/HKD Long Trade Decision Criteria met: CR 4hr at -38.2 band in a long arch. Daily CR= Long. Both arches strong and time left. No DeMarker sig in either the 4hr. or the daily.

ATR + optimal rounding) Units: 9,957 (one entry at 3.551% of max units available, according to current basket NAV at a max of 25:1 leverage) Stop: This serves as a partial hedge to NZD/USD.

COMMENTARY: Welcome to "Golden Arches". This is a test. Please stay tuned for the new thread 02/13/07. This weekend trade served many purposes. First, it introduces the beginning to a partial hedge to the Long NZD/USD. Second, it had a lower band signal in the 4 hr CR in the correct direction (it has a recent history of "band respect"). Thirdly, it has a positive interest differential for some weekend income. I am nearing my 10:1 leverage max and start to get uncomfortable at anything above it, but I can go above it on average in's, next week...we shall see.
Most MT4 brokers are really bad. The best I've seen if you are wanting to execute trades through MT4 is www.UGMFX.com Good Luck everyone! Edit: I beleive they are registed with NFA and CFTC, and their swap/rollover is about as fair as I have seen in the retail area. I have attached a screen shot of their rollover rates for today.
BTW- Those rollover rates above show the PIPS (some show it as a %) that will be applied to your account everyday for those positions.
