    thanks for owerwhelming response. Will research options above. I should probably make myself clearer.

    I am expecting AUDJPY to be trending up. So, I predict trending environment and will take only BUY signals. Any TF system should do ok if such environment present.

    I do not have time to execute every trade but will make system say 10/50 MA going in around close of bar. I know these times prices are manipulated so do not want exactly to enter 22:00 but 21:53, or 22:01, or similar. As I remember, such simple systems are provided as a sample for free on platforms. I will just modify it slightly.

    I do not need system itself, if that is such a big deal. Just platform where this can be easily done. Some backtest abilities even better to ensure logic correct.

    Futures account no good as AUDJPY has no futures and using FX broker just makes it easier.

    Looks like my CFD broker IG has it. MT4 on virtual private server. One can access by mobile devices also. Hope they have some default systems that i will slightly modify.

    Will allocate amount of cash and split in 5 bullets and go from there. If I am right about trending, 5 should suffice.

    thanks everyone.

    15 minutes, TooLA?? You want the truth or a polite answer ??Rick Godwin said you dont get anything from 15 minutes except a ticket out. Sure i may use a 15 minute or less for a entry/exit , BUT NOT a main signal- that is what monthly charts are for.........Cant help you much with F X , but even Don Bright [Bright Daytrading Co] did NOT like FX also, too unregulated he warned.
    Keep on with your trend study, you may find something in stocks, silver[cash] or ETFs .....Good question

    i have main signal = AUDJPY weekly bar closes above TL, which is now around 84.80. Expecting 8000 or thereabout to hold. My prediction is for very strong trending market UP once TL broken. I would think any trending system should do ok if prediction turns out right.

    Preparing in anticipation. 15 min does appear short, I agree. Will have to do more research in strong trending markets. Also, there will be other markets playing this game in sync.

    ToLA;
    I like weather forecasts, forecasts[plans probabilities....]; but + trend following,+ trend study,+ trend measure can be much better than that. Wisdom is profitable to direct; NOT a prediction

    so what do you suggest is better way ? I have no money left to add to straight (no stop) position, only can start trading system (s) with stops. No good with TF systems and do not have time to follow real time.

    This is my prediction, once TL broken. Example chinese market where i got similar setup. Market strongly trending, however I need stops.

    I already started exiting gold positions at very low rate, so have cash ready for redeploy.
