Disliked{quote} Hi Peppaer Very interesting strategy. But tell me - if you only use H4, then how is it that your trades are spread out over the whole day? Personally I allways trade at bar close, it seems that you don't??Ignored
Disliked{quote} Hi Steve, The pdf you attached shows reversal APBs and Consolidating APBs depending on the colour of bodies and wicks. I downloaded your version, I also have a couple of other versions of Synergy but all including yours show bodies and wicks as the same colour. Any chance you can modify the Synergy indi based on pdf (to be able to show the five variations - pdf page 2 - first paragraph)? Regards, BlackeagleIgnored
Disliked{quote} Hi RiskFighter! Yes, I use H4 only and I am doing scalping. Regardless if it is the bar close or not. It is actually the set-up that really works for me though it is kind of weird LOL. I tried M15 and scalp but it didn't work for me I had negatives so I went back to H4 and followed my original plan. Regards, PeppaerIgnored

DislikedR4M-SynergyAPB This indicator is a winner -- one of the best. Synergy APB (Average Price Bar) was developed by Dean Malone -- it is a variation of the Heiken Ashi indicator. My version adds arrow signals at the transitions between bullish and bearish trends. Heiken Ashi (and Synergy APB) is pure PA (price action) -- i.e. no algebra, no moving averages, no function or API calls to built-in or custom functions. Very simple, efficient and fast -- comparing bars. This indicator does not repaint. The signals are excellent. It can be traded stand-alone...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Please Your Indi R4M-SynergyAPB generate buffer signal 0/1, 4/5 ??Ignored
Disliked{quote} Sent you a DM. Please favor me with your indies and template. I want my chart to be a replica of yours. I mean the template and indies for your discretionary trading systemIgnored
Disliked{quote} That's to lazy! Use the TMA that R4M has provided. Smoothed Heiken Ashi attached. Then you have the main parts. Make your own template that works for you. The template I had set up look different today and that is how it is. I keep developing and find what works. You should do the same. Use the "Save template" function in the menu on MetaTrader everytime you find some nice to add. You will be rewarded by having made your own setup, because you will be able to develop it further. For instance the fantastic setup that Peppaer has made - It...Ignored
DislikedBy the way, I use the mLaden TMA for entry signal. The timeframe is M15. Then the idea is to exit somewhere at the opposite TMA line. I follow the trade using smoothed Heiken Ashi.{image} I should investigate H4. As Robot says somewhere: -- when trading H4 you don't need long runners. You only need to be on the correct side of price direction to win 50-60 Pips. So most of my trades don't last longer than 2 H4 bars before I exit. And since I trade 28 pairs, then Pips can add up quickly.Ignored
Disliked{quote} As I wrote in Post 157, I would test the TMA strategy starting monday this week. The idea was to trade everytime the close price exeeded the boundary of the TMA, because it allways seems to start a redirection of the trend. It does not work!!! The recalculation of the TMA, which is ongoing constantly, often removes the signals. So if you had a signal as described above, then it is not unusual that the recalculation decides something else and you find yourself in a loosing trade and the signal that started the trade are not there anymore....Ignored
Disliked{quote} @RiskFighter -- as has been commented-on earlier in this thread and in others, the centered TMA can repaint. The degree of repainting is affected by how dramatically the price moves. When the price trends gradually, then repainting is almost negligible. But when price jumps then repainting is more significant. If it were simply a matter of trading the reverse direction when price pokes its nose about / below the ADR bands then we'd all be quatrillionaires. In my trading I do not use centered TMA for signals -- again, as posted earlier in...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yes, but (for newbies) price returning to equilibrium could be at much higher or lower price points then what the expectation is ....so we never know the timing of that return.Ignored

Disliked{quote} I know that. But some people keep saying that it is not really a big problem. Then I of cause have to try it. And my results should be presented to others. That is why we are here. Maybe I should point out your post 46: In the screenshot below I've overlayed a centered TMA. This now opens up the possibility of reversal trading -- i.e. when an extreme price extends its nose above / below the ADR band, then you trade away. Checkout the purple and blue dots -- it doesn't get much simpler than this... Well, that was exactly what I did By the...Ignored
Disliked{quote} @RiskFighter... 1. If you check more carefully the author does claim that it repaints -- at times. If the interpolation uses more recent data and then goes back in time to redraw markings on the chart, then it repaints. I've aready addressed repainting earlier in this thread -- I get tired of repeating myself. 2. It's an excellent indicator -- but indicators provide clues, they do not push the BUY / SELL button. It is up to you and your brain to synthesize clues to make a decision whether to press the BUY / SELL button. Yes -- I referred...Ignored
Disliked{quote} @RiskFighter -- I forgot to mention that an equally critical decision in your discretionary trading -- in addition to whether or not to press the BUY / SELL button -- is Stop Loss. And that includes (a) whether or not to use a Stop Loss, and (b) if so, where it should be set. You could have in your hands the best indicator ever conceived that generates accurate signals, but if your Stop Loss is too tight or too loose you'll be doomed to failure. Stop Loss is a very discretionary aspect of discretionary trading -- there's no correct answer....Ignored
Disliked{quote} Well - I don't like to be treated like a child, I have been in this business for many years. I do things different from you but I have succes. And I do push buttons in my robots. It works. And I use stop loss, but in a very different and effective way. Because I have the fantacy to find new ways. I don't have to steal indicators from mLaden and give it my name and show to the world that I am the greatest. That is pathetic. I see in your profile that you ignore 122 - ONEHUNDREDANDTWENTYTWO!!!! profiles. That is of cause because you are special....Ignored
