With the US Daylight Savings time change being 2 weeks ahead of London, it gets a bit confusing when trying to calculate sessions...but here is a picture to better ask the question about entries and exits for the 23.6 Fib retracement trades.

Thanks,
Neo

You got the it. Looking for a countertrend trade after the London session ends and same setup goes. Waiting for RC break with stoch agreement to the 23.6% or further. I will use the fib to go to TP at the 38% and sometimes 50%. I jam my stoploss to BE after I am in the profit, plus the spread. So they are what I call a free trade.

Hi Hlass,

Did you post the dashboard indicator earlier or can you tell me what it's called or where to find it?
Quoting agent6488
Search this thread and THV system thread for dashboard. It combines other indicators with a snapshot view of the THV indicators.

Sorry, I wasn't very clear what I meant by "dashboard."
I called "dashboard" the group of indicators you show on most of your posted charts in the upper right corner. It has a mtf grid of lights for ema, str, macd, shows the current price, spread, pips to open, hi to low, daily avg. I've seen it on numerous forums but have not been able to identify it. Was hoping you could tell me. Thanks!

I was answering JR's question. The indicator JR is asking about is not Stratman's dashboard, but just a muti-timeframe indicator available for download in this thread. I think Neo posted it in his template.
Sessions get a bit mixed up when DayLight Savings Time comes around until all who observe it get on the same time set back.

Right now with Europe still on Standard Time, most USA traders are starting an hour earlier.....you have to pay attention to the Natural Up an Down Movement within this 1 hour time difference as London Traders are not going to lunch when we are normally seeing it from our Time perspective. When you look at the Natural Up and Down...you have to factor in that more traders are still in the markets for the 1 hour difference and pay attention to the 30-60 pip swings and where we are in relation to the swing.

This fixes itself once all are on the same Time Difference with DayLight Savings Time.

Thanks carlen68. But this usdchf trade was taken 1 hr before london close. And i think that usdcad was also taken at the same time.
You don't wait until london close?

Yes, I did get in early, but seeing some great moves within the last hour. Waiting for London to catch up with us on the daylight savings time. Also used the Dashboard.

I got a little confused on the daylight saving time myself and took what I thought was a London reversal around 11 am cst but I guess London closes at 12 pm cst...so i got +8 on the reversal and then took a short after 12 pm cst right now took half at +30 and moved to even and now waiting for a free fall if it comes...

Hi carlene68,

Thanks for the great info and post as usual. The caption in your screenshot mentions that you usualyy see one move per day on the US pairs. Do you mean one move per day total, or one move per day per pair?

Keep the great screenshots coming if you have time to post - there are great as I am really looking into this retrace method.

Thanks

One trade per day on the usd pairs. So out of the 7 pairs plus the eurjpy, I will get one perfect countertrend trade.

Yahoo Widgets software has an FXMarketHours widget that I use to keep market open/close times in mind. Good for daylight savings time management.
Free. Doesn't take up main taskbar space.

Hi agent,

Thanks for your suggestions. You are correct that I was asking about the mtf indicator, not Stratman's dashboard.
I should have added I'm looking for the .mq4 instead of the .ex4 so I can modify the display fonts and spacing. I have hi-res display and large font size selected on my monitors. The posted .ex4 versions of the signal bar indicators (at least the ones on FF, TSD, and Neo's zip file) all scrunch the fields together and render it hard to read. I have the indicators in separate single purpose indicators but was hoping to have an all-in-one that took up less space than the combined single purpose ones.
Thanks again.

Best regards,

JR
Hm.
Looks like I've just got the .ex4 as well. Maybe someone knows where they came from or who has the code.

Hey JR, if you're talking about the dashboard-looking indicator called "Signal Bars v8D", the only version of this latest version of the indicator is an ex4. If however you are trying to change the font size of the text...there is an option to make the indicator small or normal, only 2 settings, but one is big and other small.
