{quote} LOL - No I "monitor" those markets - all I'm doing is searching for absolute picture perfect set-ups - on the daily TF they only show up once in a while, so you have to delve lower TF's

{quote} Hi I am always willing to learn done a Go Compare ? {image}
Yeah - on your chart - I've put a pink dot on the picture perfect trades I'd of taken - Now I only trade between 8am and 4.30pm, so if any occurred out of those hours, they would not have been taken, but marked as an example of what I would of done on that chart period

The down trend at 4pmish - I'd of taken the short, as price moved back to the 10 SMA - but that was at 4.30pm when i clocked off, so I didn't take the trade

I'm always intrigued by new methods to trade

PS - I don't use all those Indicators for every trade - the Stoch is just there because I like to see it, I don't use it all all to trade with - The 14RSI same, I can read it for trends and a few other things it does

{quote} Had a play with your Indicators This is what I have come up with ? much easier on MY eye {image}
You can make most Indicators do the same thing as they are all derived from price action - just the maths inside that alters

I just keep is as simple for my brain as possible - I'm totally not tech savvy at all and my trading comp software systems are pretty basic and limited in what I can do with them etc

The main thing is using them under the right conditions and you'll get the results - trade them willy nilly and you'll lose a packet

I like catching pullbacks/lows/turns etc - so you can use these with pullbacks, retracements to % levels, harmonic patterns at the turning points etc

Then again you can just trade the price when it hits those points and do without the Indicators, but I like them as my safety blanket

Last one as I'm very conscious we're hijacking this thread

The DAILY TF 2RSI was <25% and the 15RSI >40% (This usually signals some sort of bounce in price) - you can look at the pattern on the daily which was sort of sideways trading range yo-yoing off lows - I'm not bothered about the pattern on the daily, as long as the pattern on the lower time-frame shows bullishness AND the SMA's are 10>20 and there's a meaningful pullback to the SMA's along with 2RSI<25%

I choose to trail a 2 bar trailing stop of the low on this trade - entry, stop and exit shown on chart

This was a picture perfect trade that did as expected

Listen mate
In my opinion there is too much lets just say ( un interesting posts on threads) so if I judge my posts carry
NO Interest in 24 hours
I delete them
as not to clutter the thread with rubbish
After all, it does not take much effort to give a like or say a thank you
for a question answered or an indicator sent
to me its just good manners and shows its worthwhile posting and supporting a thread
This is not aimed directly at you but just in general how I feel

atm
18 indicator downloads, 1 thank you and as yet no posts showing the use of them
Unbelievable
