Many thanks!! — That's great Rob, thanks. To be able to reduce the number of alert sounds was the next thing I was going to ask about. Hope you have a great Christmas!

Thanks — Rob, thanks for your efforts with this. Just wondered - is there any way to turn off the arrows? They make a hell of a mess of the charts. Cheers.

Seasons Greetings — Looks like it's that time of year again when thoughts turn to peace and goodwill. I came across this thread earlier this year and it has really opened my eyes. So a big vote of thanks goes out to all who participate - ...

Charts — See Robdee's excellent chart and analysis above.

Chat et al. — FJ, Just wanted to say that I have been in the chatroom on and off for the last couple of days and really enjoyed the experience. Like many folks (I guess) I can only be there when not doing my day job. Just hoping that the Force ...

Countertrend trade — Hi Vincent, Agree with everything that TIME1300 has said but would just add that if you are looking to take countertrend trades try to take them at a level of support, resistance, moving average or trend line. I don't take ...

OK, so the size of the SL saved you from entry. All part of managing the trade. Just making the point that the trade is still "live" as the price has yet to retrace lower than the signal candle. So it's not a "bad" signal just yet. Edit: Oh well, it ...

Trade should still be open — Perfectly good TC, IMO. However, the bearish candle looks not too good, but if you placed your stop loss below the signal candle then the trade should still be running. I notice the EU is rallying at the moment.

Congratulations — Just wanted to congratulate you on having the most colourful, confusing charts on FF!

Great to see you back! — Hey Palmer, sorry to hear about your girlfriends brother - it's tough when someone close passes on. Hope you are OK and it's great to "see" you back on the thread.

Breakout question — Phillip, Thank you very much for you explanation of trading the breakout. I have a question about the optimum point to enter the trade. You mention that when the breakout occurs on the 4 hour chart that you then switch to ...

No Stop Loss — Just picking up on the recent postings. Obviously every trader has his/her methods but I just want to say that not placing a stop loss at the moment the trade is placed is very dangerous. Just takes a power outage and no stop ...

Big move today — Cable has had a fairly big move up today (3.5 cents+). It's no surprise that it may be losing momentum at around 1.50 which I would think will be a key level.

Watching with interest!! — Hope this works out for you Phillip. I don't like the look of that long upper shadow on the previous candle which falls almost exactly on the upper trendline that I had drawn. Who knows how accurate one can be when ...

Your message is? — Hi, I notice that you have posted your charts twice recently with no commentary. Just wondering what it is you are trying to say to other readers of the thread? Thanks.

Thanks — Thanks for being so honest Phillip. Not many traders own up to bad trades and we all have them (me more than most!). I wasn't trying to pick you up on the trade, I just wanted to understand why you chose the stop losses you did. I ...

Calculation of your stop losses? — Phillip, I don't understand how you calculated your stop losses for this trade. The high of the signal candle was over 100 pips away (which is why I did not take this trade). With a stop loss at the high of ...

Zero break — Phillip may have a technical definition. I tend to look for no more than three bars of MACD above or below the zero line and with little penetration. Not very scientific but don't know if there is a better explanation.

Agree — Yes, same here (and there was a problem with their data feed last week for a period). I have switched to FXDD temporarily and wait to see what happens.

Last Weeks Trades — Thanks once again Phillip. I understand your reasoning and I feel more comfortable with the concept. I just wanted to reinforce your reassurance that there are potential profitable signals from the system by sharing my ...
