{quote} this chart has 12 26 1 setting for macd you change it because you test diferent values?
Yes boss, trying different settings. The buy/sell arrows come from another macd indi with settings 5,13,1, essentially when the macd zero line crosses.

Hi
Nice ride, but entry seem to be late, entry...as that can tell on stop loss or risk reward...nice to see upcoming news events show on your chart, that is a nice indicator and a handy tool as well. It will be nice if you provide link to that, I have never had that on my chart as I never have much focus in news...but when the news comes up, one must still go to fore factory to see the numbers right? Or does it show on the chart?
Some other project came up and took my attention, so my not be here very often..but they way you analyse the market is nice.
Keep the good flag flying!

Entries are a problem for me as we are in uptrend so the 21 could turned price back up for some more, hence I usually wait till the 21 is crossed.
GA spiked and took out my trailing stop +151 pips. News indi is attached and yes you need the news events actual results. This can be found on FF or another website like investing.com. I get these notifications direct to my mobile in case I am not at my screen.

The golden rule to trade counter trend is to do that at strong support and resistance levels, do that and your issues will vanish...then make sure your risk reward of 1:1 is extracted while you may choose to allow remaining position to run if need be! THAT IS THE CHEAT SHEET OF CONUTER TREND TRADING!

This one looking good too. Must have been some good AUD news somewhere, or was it all the cash that China is ploughing in.

Good targets in white, in blue a good resistance, if it passes easily through it, it tends to come back to test.

Mostly a close over the 21 EMA and a fair gap to some support. Nausting says my entry was late but I need to confirm it is going down even tho the macd gives a sell signal. Trading from the macd alone gets you burnt says Phil and we just use that for confirmation. Us that don’t know PA that well usually end up going in late. A RT can sometimes turn into TC and my last EC short did just that.

Sorry, my English is not very good

I don't understand, what do you mean with "fair gap", Your entry was where I put the blue line?.

Thanks for your attention

My SL was above the swing high so I needed that distance from SL to my entry point and the same again to get my TP for a 1:1 RR. I put my TP somewhere near the 89 SMA (red line) as the best exit point but closed the trade before that when price started struggling for +121 pips which is just over 1:1 RR
Fair gap = enough room for TP

WE WERE SAVED TO SAVE! THE BIG PLAN I have a solid plan to assist the new ones here, your post remind me of it again. But I don't want just few people, I need huge number of beginners so that after our meeting, we will have no one or very few who will still be needing help. The plan is for all new ones to buy a book and a pen and put down whatsoever questions or issues they are having with the 4hour macd strategy, one can also save charts needing further explanations, either my chart of Phillip Nels chart or the chart of anyone in this forum which...
Hello naustingfx, I am interested, please include me

Hidden divergence from bearish continuation.
I really like the annual pivot points, they are the white lines.

I didn't sell it because it didn't pass the entry level, I was very excited about the candle pattern that I didn't see other things.
If I had used the bands I would have seen that it would go up because the market is not volatile.
As it reached the average of 20, now all that remains is to go to the other band or go down, as it is on its side it will probably go up.

EU and GU are correlated currencies.
They are in strong support right now.
The known 0.382 (EU) and 0.764 (GU) which are natural.
Some like the idea of the square root of some fibo, then the levels 88.6% and 78.6% arise.
That if using naturals they would use 0.854 and 0.764.

Ok guys here we go. Trade results for the week on my demo account. We have hit the magic 5R profit for the week and more. In fact it is 6.67R (over 13% with 2% trades) so well happy this week with 3 consecutive weeks of profit. All trades closed apart from a long on Brent which is just consolidating, so will keep an eye on it.
Have a good weekend.

EA trade much the same as the GA. Entry was close over the 8 EMA and pair looked a it maxed out anyways, bit of a gamble I guess.
+170 for 2 trades
