{quote} Your system is very simple and effective at the same time. The simpler the system, the easier it is to trade. I like your system and read your advice here. But I use my own trading method and therefore cannot share entry points here. But I learned a lot from your messages, which help me not to forget the basics of trading and again remember the knowledge that is forgotten over time. Thank you Robinhood.

{quote} I used this indicator a few years ago. But I couldn't apply it correctly. In the end, I concluded that it is better to trade against the crowd using this indicator. But sometimes it happened the other way around, when I entered a position, and the interest quickly changed to the opposite. In general, I hope that you will be able to use this indicator correctly. and you will give us advice.

Here are the two examples

USDCAD Short : TSM(R) already showing short based on the maximum number of indicators on H4/D1. Along with this sentiment 60 % Traders are net long so additional confirmation to enter short.

GBPUSD Neutral : TSM(R) was kind of short in previous days but not both H4/D1 aligned. Sentiment shows neutral, better stay away until TSM(R) and Sentiment aligned in one direction. At least potential to place 1.5-2 R setup.

Bottom line - Here are the rules I follow

  1. TSMR H4 clean signal to enter buy or Sell ,
  2. TSMR D1 looks like a Buy or Sell,
  3. Sentiment >60 Buy or Sell .

Note : If Sentiment is Neutral no trade , so we can avoid few losing trades

Just for fun, I thought I would show everyone one of my stock trading methods and how easy it is to trade stocks using it...on a stock that MOVES a lot. Since GameStop stock has been in the news a lot lately, I thought I'd show a 3 minute chart from today of it as an example. Without going into too much detail, when the moving averages are aligned correctly (which they are on the chart below during the downtrend) and when the dots are orange, you sell short. When the dots turn blue (in a downtrend) you exit. The opposite is true for long trades....
Ignored
That's quite interesting - I would certainly be interested in know more (about the dots specifcally). I too have started trading a system where I use a 'rainbow' of moving averages to determine entries and exits (without any oscillators). One key advantage is not having to switch the chart to LTF or HTF's as the MA's tell you enough to determine the short term and long term bias.

Interesting. So am I right to say that other than Neutral, you trade opposite to the dominant sentiment? ie if there is more buying sentiments, you Short instead.

Also, where can I download it? I tried searching the attachments in this thread but couldn't find it.

Edit: Is it this one? https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...timent-for-mt4

Those "dots" are my secret sauce. It's a proprietary indicator so I can't share it. Plus, it only works stocks and not the Forex.

Anytime Mr.RH.

Another example GBPNZD H4 looks like a Long sentiment clearly says Short and TMS(r) looks like short. I wont take long trade unless sentiment changes or TSM(r) changes to Long.

Yes your understanding is correct.

Here is the link to download https://fxssi.com/fxssi-sentiment-lite-mt4

For H4/D1 trading this free lite version is sufficient. If you are trading lower time frame like scalping these data may not be accurate.

USDCAD Short turned very well this morning. TSM(R) already confirming, Sentiment also went extreme, you can see before and after effects. May be a breakout trade USDCAD may go down further.

Couple of people asked how I use the qqe crossing via DM, where I use certain levels (just like above above/below 50 for RSI) so I guess I'll just reply them with this post here instead.

So here it goes: I only use the cross, dont really pay much attention to the color change either. I find it good for 1st entry confirmation, continuation is pretty straight forward and this indicators can be laggy due to the big candle movement's impact on atr calculation. Understand the calculations and observe how it behaves should pay things forward.

For example,

A side note to add, be grateful that the method RH shared, is not mechanical enough to be coded into a mechanical trading software. If it is, other large players would come into the market place and exploit the edge since most of them are running on mechanical basis. Certain level of discretion to recognize market structure will help you do what the program cant.

Trade well and may the pips stay with us.

You are very welcome. I believe trading against the crowd has some edge even with regular indicators. But I strongly believe if we combine with RH's powerful template we can get more confluence. We need to learn how to utilize with these combinations. Keep us posted if you find this is useful, may be after few days or weeks.

Good Luck :-)

Hi everyone! I have been following you for a while and tested a few times this system. I think it's great, but from past experiences, anything is difficult in Forex. These markets are really choppy and can wipe out profits quickly if you enter at the wrong time. I've been using MT4 since ages, so I never had any problems setting up the template and indicators there. RobinHood made things very easy for anyone reading this discussion. But I've been thinking recently to try to migrate these indicators to other platforms and maybe try to automate some signals. All nice in theory, but I'm struggling a lot in finding my way out of how to calculate the Stochastic SMMA Lo/Hi oscillator. Does anyone know what is the mathematical formula behind the iStochastic function in MT4? Let's make this easy first and try to calculate the values in a spreadsheet, starting from a table containing the OHLC candlesticks. Does anyone know how to calculate the oscillator values? I've started from the standard stochastic formula: %K = (CLOSE-LOW(%K))/(HIGH(%K)-LOW(%K))*100, but I'm lost in how to apply this as a SMMA and then what is that Lo/Hi input parameter influence the calculation.
Hope you will find this useful, because if we figure it out, we won't be trapped anymore in MT4.
Thanks!

Hi Tylor,

Are you still using this EA and looking for suggestions, can you able to modify the code with HTF and other settings. I can coordinate with you for the best setup and various combinations. Let me know if you are interested.

No, same as RobinHood who is trading now mainly stocks, I would like to use this system outside MT4, to cover other assets as well. On the other side, let's be honest, MT4 is an old platform, nothing wrong with it, it still does the job perfectly, but for me, it's much easier to monitor charts in TrandingView for example. So to break this task in multiple steps, there are various things which can be done, independent from each other. Personally, I would love to have the indicators and create a template for TradingView. But the main thing would be to understand how to calculate these indicators and generate the arrays of values behind them. From there, it just doesn't matter which programming language you use. Mql4 is not something I personally enjoy, I'm more into python, and I would like to replicate these indicators there. But as I said it would benefit anyone no matter which way you go.
I've been trying to calculate options after options since yesterday trying to figure it out how mt4 calculates the stochastic smma, but nothing so far. First intriguing part is that the first value is calculated on the 18th candle, for the stochastic (14,3,3). Now why is that.... I don't know, but normally it should have been on the 16th, 14 candles to calculate the stochastic and 3 candles (14,15,16) to get the first value sma(3).
