Where did everyone go? The topic is very interesting! RobinHood - Thank you so much for the strategy!

Skyfinger - still here. It's a good thread. Maybe too good. One thing that I am doing is using the 4HR chart to get the trend and then using the 5 min to time the entry. I bagged 50 pips this morning. You can use a Weekly trend and enter using the 4HR if you don't have time to scalp the markets.
Without vision, the people will perish.

I trade using this method! I'm fine!

I also use it with the daily and when there is no trade i search for the 4H charts. System is a good one indeed

I also use this with the Daily as well, plus 4 hr and have had good results.
I believe it is a very good system, the best I have used. Just a matter of learning as much about price action as you can, having patience and the HMA cross
is marvellous. I think the TMS Oscillator that Swingman built is fantastic, showing in colour whether the 8 and 14 EMA is above or below the 50 level.
No mistakes this way.

Markets seem very choppy at the moment and I haven't found a decent setup at all this week, so staying on the sidelines for now.

Excuse me, but how do you define a trend, specifically? I am sure everyone have different specific definition of a trend, so I want to make sure. Thank you.
I will do my best!

Doesn't really matter what one's definition of trends is, because here we are flying by instruments.

From the first post:

Crossover Trades:
1. The HMA Line is Lime Green and crosses above the Yellow Line for long trades OR the HMA Line and is Deep Pink and crosses below the Yellow Line for short trades.
2. The candles must have just changed from Dodger Blue/Blue to Red/Maroon for short trades or from Red/Maroon to Dodger Blue/Blue for long trades.
...
Continuation Trades:
- A Continuation Trade is when there has already been a trade in that direction, but you were stopped out OR got out for some other reason and then you get another signal to enter in.
1. You can go long again if a bar turns back to Dodger Blue/Blue after being Red/Maroon or Red/Blue AND the Dodger Blue/Blue bar's close is above the Yellow Line and all other indicators agree.
2. You can go short again if a bar turns back to Red/Maroon after being Dodger Blue/Blue or Red/Blue AND the Red/Maroon bar's close is below the Yellow Line and all other indicators agree.

I had pretty good results trading last week on the lower timeframes during the London and NY sessions.

There were losses as well, but most, if not all, of the losses came during the Asian session.

Used an EA to take profit, using a reducing trailing stop loss.

Hi guys,
I started to use this from yesterday and I've got good results. I usually look for a trade setup on H1 and then I take the trade in the same direction on M15 or M5.

Thanks for the feedback, I have found in the past 2 weeks or so, that due to the choppiness, trends are very "short lived" at the moment. So it makes sense that shorter time frames such as 1 Hour and 15 minutes are still profitable.

My H4 trades often reverse at 30-50 pips mark, stopping me out. So I've taken to using a trailing stop loss on my trades, on top of trading M15 and H1.

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well. I just thought I'd check in and let you guys know that the Corona Virus hasn't taken me out me as of yet!

I have been absent mostly because I started trading stocks much more heavily and I've devoted most of my attention there for the last few months.

I am trading stocks with something vaguely similar as the way I trade the Forex (like the charts below, and I'm doing pretty well).

The system is still working, as it always does and always will.

Personally, I am just viewing the Forex charts in a very slightly different way now as opposed to when I stopped posting a while back, and I am only trading Daily charts these days.

Here are my current Forex trades:

Robinhood, do you no longer use your old set of indicators to trade forex?

They are the same indicators per se, it's just that another member here (SwingMan) combined the numerous indicators I showed in Post #1 into something that is visually much easier to trade. Plus, I have added a MACD line that I have never shown before (until now) because it's a discovery that I made and started using after I last posted here.

BTW, this is how much things can change since I last posted here 21 mins ago.

Ahhh I see, thanks. I'll search the thread for it, I'm just getting started with this strategy and have had stellar results, so thanks for that.
