Nice work @40PipsAlan!


First trade of the week:

USDJPY M15

USDJPY M5

Decided to enter on the M5 based on the H1 uptrend.
The control chart was M15 - meaning I would only exit when the oscillator gives an opposite signal - but closed at 2R because I couldn't monitor the trade anymore.

Attach the Signal arrow first then drop the Sigal Histo alert on top of it.

Yep normally it will indicate change of trend - with change in colour - but it not as sensitive and jumpy as other indies.

Before taking a trade I first look at - then look at sotch !

Let me know if it works for you. Drop it on the chart and just get the feel for it.

Wonderful Alan, if you keep chipping away at the market like a wood pecker (like you're doing now), I'm sure you can curve a niche for yourself when you finally go live. Your consistency is admirable.

The age old question of is it ranging or not. I have battled with this one for years and have come to the conclusion that with this system we really need an asset that is trending. i.e lower lows and lower highs. Here's an example in the picture. My moving average 89 SMA gets broken and retested twice. I took the trade on the second retest probably because I missed the first. Trail stop took me out at the bottom of the swing. You will find lots of example like this on the charts any TF. I also use a 200 SMA as the same happens there too and also gives me the trade direction I should be taking. Break of resistance/support and retest.

They all look good to me apart from the top one. USD/CHF looks like a range.
