{quote} True there are lots of instruments to trade but that still means you have to be able to identify when a trend has begun quite often by the time you identify a trend it is too late most times what appears to be the beginning of a trend is not - the fact is the market is good at fooling the inexperienced.go to any chart and try to identify the beginning of a trend and whatever criteria you use will provide just as many false signals as good ones
The question is: how often?

Hi,

Today I have grabbed 24 pips from trading counter trend.

H4: The trend was down

H1: CCI was below -100. When fractal appeared I switched to M15

M15: CCI was below -100. I went LONG when the slope changed to blue and trended upward and confirmed by MACD>0, Stoch was trending up and AO was below zero and increased its momentum.

Hi,

There is a set up to go LONG counter trend on GBPUSD. But I did not enter a trade because it was close to the US new releases at 8:15 am ET.

H4: The trend was down.

H1: CCI was below -100. The fractal appeared then I switched to M15

M15: CCI was below -100. The slope changed to blue and was trending up, Macd > 0, Stochastic was trending up and AO was below the zero then increased its momentum. The signal was valid. Because of the major US new releases 8:15 am ET the signal was cancelled.

Hi Sai
Happy new year and as usual pls keep your thread alive.

As I am time poor and at times I do not have the patience you have to watch the charts.

I am thinking of writing an EA based on your rules.

So to clarify

H4 must be all red or all blue on the attached indicator and the bar must be complete ...

When the next 4H bar is forming you have
4 x 1 Hour bars to monitor the CCI inducator to monitor.

Within the 4 hours if the CCI indicatot is -100/+100 you would then

Switch to 15 minute indicator following your rules to take the trade.

So far am I 80% correct

hi, look at post 66, theres an EA from me, based on the rules!
I installed the EA on a demo account in mid November 2017. To date, it is up over 19%. I tried another account and changed the stop loss and targets to tighter limits but it has not done as well.

  • Jan 13, 2018 8:01am Jan 13, 2018 8:01am
Which pairs are you trading? Only GBPUSD? If so, i think 19% are ok!?

i backtested some different settings, but the settings from sriloba works at best.

sriloba add some other trigger to trade, but these are not yet implemented in the EA. Only till Post 66!

if there is interest, I could also extend it.

where is @Sriloba at the moment!??

Hi guys,

Sriloba uses H4 to determine the trend.

Up trend = 5/10 ema cross up and confirmed by macd > 0 + stochastic cross up
Down trend = 5/10 ema cross down and confirmed by macd < 0 + stochastic cross down

H1: Wait for retracement. Sriloba uses CCI OB/OS to identify the price pull back
Up trend: CCI must be below -100
Down trend: CCI must be above 100

Then go to M15 to enter a trade

The system is easy to understand. I will test the system on Monday.

Thanks Sriloba.
Today is tested. But tomorrow will be bright.
