I'll know more tomorrow (as I'm working from home and can watch the market), but I may have a workable and simple system put together.
Instead of the two LRIs, I'm using four. One for 5,10,20, and 40 periods.
The hangup I was dealing with was looking at all the spreads with the same timeframe.
One of things I'll be testing is what timeframes work best with each spread. At this point I have the following:
Four hours:
EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, and EUR/GBP
One day:
EUR/JPY, USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, USD/CAD, and CAD/JPY
There are exceptions if I am able to watch the market during the day. When that is the case, I'll watch USD/JPY on the two hour chart and USD/CAD on the four hour chart.
I've also changed how I handle stops. I now look at the ATR of the previous period and subtract it from the low if I'm going long or add it to the high if I'm going short. The current exception to this is with EUR/GBP where I use a half ATR.
For the spreads that work better for the intra-day charts I'll still run into the problem when the market moves and I'm not there to act on it. Not sure how I'm going to deal with that.
