Hi, this interesting thread is getting quiet lately, so please see my observations on EUR/USD from this week. I am just starting with this strategy and these are my thoughts from several past days.
On 1H TF price was spinning around 60 MA and just under 200 MA. What can be seen after the breakout and closed candle outside the channel it can be reasonable to wait for a pullback and if it occurs decide from a little bit better price whether to trade or not. Thanks to that it would be possible to got out with lower loss or BE.
I remember that it was already mentioned in this topic in the past and it looks like this advice is still valid.
Any comments to the below potential trades are much appreciated. Has anyone tried to trade these setups?

Hi . . Re Templates / Indicators : I have added these to MT4 platform OK, but would like to add them to an MT5 platform. (mainly the "Daylight_Aggr. Template" and the "Price_Crosses_5SMMA_High_Low" indicator)

However, repeating the MT4 procedure on MT5 does not seem to work properly (understandably).
Do they need to be re-written for MT5 or am I missing something?

If nothing else, how does one get the two MAs on the Williams %R sub-window (for Daylight Aggr.)
Thanks in advance for any pointers . . .
Hello LauraT and all members.
Thank you for the great trading idea. I've seen and tested a lot of ideas. I don’t want to say they weren't good, they just didn't work well for me. But this daylight strategy is perfect for me. Just wonderful. Very easy and clear.

I read about the daylight scanner, but unfortunately it doesn't work. But luckily I found another scanner. That is a very big help. It gives me an acoustic signal on my mobile phone and also on my laptop. So I don't have to sit in front of the computer so long and clicking from one currency pair to the next one. This scanner is free.
Here on the chart I put 2 MAs in, just to show. (Yellow and Orange). When yellow and orange cross, comes the signal. This 2 MAs are not there when I am trading. You can play with the MAs settings and set it up according to the situation you want to be notified.

Care should be taken on weak market moves, often the price fails to cross the resistance and support levels. So the price goes back.

Please write a comment about it. I think this combination is fantastic. Comes almost close to the Holy Grail.

Hi,

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you find Daylight helpful. And thank you for sharing details of the free indicator - i'm sure people will find it useful.
Haven't posted a Daylight trade in a while but it's been a very good period lately for the aggressive -50 line cross. Here's a Dow trade I closed recently.

Hi Laura, thanks for the thread.

Just a quick question. Do you find the channel more effective than the MA cross or similar on the price?

Hi,

I prefer the channel over the MAs, yes.

What setting have you found the best on 4h tf? Thanks
Quoting LauraT
1. Red MA above Green MA on main chart and daylight exists between them.
Sorry what does 'daylight' mean?

Does it mean the gap between the red and green MA?

Also Laura, may i ask how long have you been trading this strategy for?
