Hello,
COT
Thank you MG for your informations about COT, I believe that we can use these data and make regular profits with only one trade each week and each pair (see this particular system, there may be additional version). For the previous two weeks, I get 1442 pips for gbpchf and 1943 pips for gbpjpy. COT is absolutely one of the indior. However the big month like august was not striking with COT and SL are occasionally quite large (gt;400pips). But it is another strategy.

Note:
The key problems are that there isn't any particular rules about SL, so I've used for half trades the previous Highs and Lows and for the other half the upper/lower trendline /- 10/20/30 pips (the results are rather similar for the 2 periods). The TP suggested by Demark Lines are too far away from the spot, the majority of pairs rarely reaches on these TP. As a result, you may often see open trades with 200, 400, 800up to 1600 pips of profits (such as H4) that totally disapear with time. That a direction of every trade is necessary. The trader has to modify the SL and shut the trades when the return are great. Here I've only set orders, and closed trades once I need to place an order in the opposite direction (too many pairs to make MM).
Expert Advisor
Therefore, if we create an EA, and that I believe that it would be interesting for this trading platform, we should add two options for the SL, an automatic one with X pips over/under that the upper/lower trendline and a guide one with X pips (based on pair's possible ). Also a stop will be critical. Then no TP (in choice only). An EA predicated on this particular indior already exists, it is
http://www.forex-tsd.com/expert-advi...to-trader.html but it was developped having an old variant of Demark lines (2005) and the results are absolutely bad.
No SL, no TP
Also I've discovered that if we just wait the following sign without TP and SL, some pairs generates (for the moment) steady positive or negative returns:
gbpchf 739
xauusd 287
gbpjpy 250
chfjpy 228
eurchf 209
...
eurjpy -288
xagusd -305
eurcad -372
gbpnzd -383
eurnzd -426
euraud -558
gbpaud -937
We can reverse the system for the damaging pairs and also get about 5000 pips for this week end. Of course, no SL no more TP is risky and a single reverse trade of 200-1000 pips (during enormous tendencies ) will erase time and efforts spent on the charts. One week is not enough to know whether it is regular. A backtesting could be interesting to verify.
We can even reverse the system for the demo testing results (-4133 gt; 4133), the identical problem will appear with Max Drawdown overly important and SL overly large.
