Hello! I would like to congratulate you on your achievements. Additionally, if you don't mind, I would like to ask you a few questions that I hope you can share so I can improve and refer to:
- I want to ask which products, currency pairs, or commodities you trade?
- What time of day do you usually trade?
- What is your main time frame for entering trades?
I appreciate you taking the time to share. Thank you in advance!

Hi Straasha,
Thanks for the reply, creating that list, is a problem, Wordens platform may be one way to go, however, they have just created a new version, which I don't have yet , but will send some info after downloading their new system and explored some possibilities.

Looking forward to the new developments.

As a matter of interest what platform are you using now.

Bedtime here again, enjoy the weekend and of course, the new work.

is the slope of the short stoch a thing for you?

Only that it's pointing in the direction that I want to trade in when I enter.

i have noticed that most of the times when im waiting for the long stoch to cross above 70, the short one is already going down while the long is still going up, so i just ways until it crosses back to a key level and go long (viceversa for short)

That does happen, but I just wait until the shorter Stoch realigns back into the direction of the longer Stoch to enter, BUT also, I don't just blindly follow the RSO, I always use it in conjunction with other indicators that are providing information that aligns with the RSO (if they do) as it gives me more confidence that the trade is likely to go in the direction that the RSO is implying.

but sometimes, like in the image, the momentum is clearly there, big bars, and both stochs are going up pretty fast and almost together. a conservative entry would be the long stoch crossing lvl 70, but my confidence is still not there since the H1 at that time was still at lvl50.

Personally, I don't ever worry about that.

thoughts on this scenario? im just trying to find out the more "aggressive" ways to work with the RSO.

I am probably in a different situation than most of the traders here as I have a watchlist of over 6,000 stocks available for me to trade, and now by having the RSO watchlist that enables me to very quickly identify, and to only trade those stocks that fit my best criteria which makes it easier for me than having a much smaller selection like with the Forex. This is a stock that I day traded today. Easy, peasey.

Thank you heaps @Jonhathan123. I am sure others can replicate similar performance if they put in the reps.

I want to ask which products, currency pairs, or commodities you trade? -
I mainly trade XAU, NAS, EUR, BTC but I am also now trading futures but mainly concentrate on NQ & Gold futures.

What time of day do you usually trade? -
I do not have any set time to trade. I just go into the charts when the alerts trigger or when I have time from work and look for trades. I can only trade Asian session and first half of London. Plenty of setups during this time to make money.

What is your main time frame for entering trades?
Mostly 5mins for the CFD pairs and 2mins for Futures.

Hope that helps.
Find a strategy that works consistently and then trading becomes easy.

First and foremost, you need...

1. You NEED a successful trading mentor to coach you and:

a. To help you figure out what "type" of trader you are going to be: a scalper, day trader, swing, investor, etc.
b. To teach you WHAT to trade
c. To teach you HOW to trade
d. To teach you WHEN to trade
d. To teach you WHY you are consistently winning or WHY you are consistently losing
e. And then guide you along your journey until the mentor is no longer needed

These are the two best and simplest RSO entry rules: Long Entries I want the blue line to be above the 50 zone and pointing up and the orange line to be (or go) below the 55 then cross above the 55. Short Entries I want the blue line to be below the 50 zone and pointing down and the orange line to be (or go) above the 45 then cross below the 45.

Update v0.9
Quoting SwingMan
New Version "smTMMS-RobinHood DB_v2.2"
Dear Robinhood / Straasha / Other Senior members,

First of all, I want to thank you Straasha for continuously improving the RSO indicators /EA and for dedicating so much of your time to developing and releasing updated versions so generously on the forum. Your selfless contribution is deeply appreciated.

The Trading Made Simple (r) thread by Robinhood has always been one of my favorites, and I remain very interested in it. However, as a self proclaimed Lazy Trader with several health challenges, it’s difficult for me to manage too much information at once. For the time being, I am focusing mainly on the
Golden Cross Trading Idea.

I have a great respect for Robinhood, who has shared his ideas, patiently answers queries from beginners and continues to guide traders with kindness and generosity on a daily basis.

The same goes for George aka SwingMan, who has transformed Robinhood's ideas into excellent indicators and even released their source code
(RHO-Pro-6.mq4 & smTMMS Oscillator_v7.4.mq4) Therse are just the few of his latest versions on this thread.

With my very limited experience of less than a year, I have rarely seen experienced programmers/coders openly share their code so freely on the forum, as George has done.

When I studied this thread a few months back, especially the posts by Robinhood and George, I noticed that George has already developed and shared a Dashboard EA here New Version smTMMS-RobinHood DB_v2.2

It might be possible for him to enhance it further by adding RSO and other filters, EMA etc by adding few wingdings codes in the grid cells.
Risk management, and order management can also be requested.

George has previoulsy created Dashboard EAs for his own strategies as well as for others, and extending this approach could be extremely helpful for the Trading Made Simple (r) community led by Robinhood.

The real beauty of a dashboard is that it helps to quickly shortlist pairs, instead of manually monitoring all 28 charts. Having all the relevant information neatly displayed in a single chart would save time and make trading decisions more efficient.

These are just my observations and a humble suggestion, if Robinhood and other interested members request George for these enhancement ideas (health and time permitted), perhaps George could turn them into a wonderful Dashboard EA or enahnce the existing one by integrating these features to make life more easier for LAZY TRADERS.

@emmanel7788
Thank you for your comments / feedback. To clarify, when I called myself a Lazy Trader, it was in the same lighthearted sense that George (SwingMan) himself often used several times in his posts that he loved helping lazy traders. It was not meant as an excuse to sit idle or expect George / others to work for me, but rather to acknowledge that I prefer to focus more on trading ideas than on coding as its not my area of expertise.

I fully understand your point about learning MQL4/5 with the help of AI tools like Grok, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, Proximity etc (my AI list....) And yes, for someone who already has programming knowledge, AI can be an incredible accelerator, they can use it to refine their logic, debug faster, and take their skills to the next level. But for someone without a prior coding/ programming / forex knowledge, AI is not a magic solution. It can generate pieces of code, but often with errors, inefficiencies, or logic gaps. Without a solid foundation, you won’t even know if the code is reliable or if it’s silently mismanaging trades.

It’s like handing advanced machinery to someone with no training. They may be able to push a few buttons and get it moving, but they won’t really know how to operate it safely or efficiently. In trading, that lack of understanding can lead to real financial losses (As you code yourself, so you can better undertand consequences of a single wrong parameter in a line of code)

That is why I strongly believe some work is best left to professionals. There is a big difference between coding and efficiently coding, and that efficiency comes from years of experience, not just from AI prompts. Experienced coders like George not only build robust and efficient tools but also design them with safety, practicality, and years of experience behind every line of code. That cannot be replicated just by trial and error with AI.

So, my suggestion about enhancing the Dashboard EA by George was never about waiting lazily for someone else to do the work. It was about recognizing the proven value that professionals like George bring to the entire community and such an enhancement could be a real asset for the Trading Made Simple (r) community.

And please know, I truly respect you as a senior member. Your consistent contributions in the BigE's (RIP) thread "Trading Made Simple" have kept it alive, otherwise it might have been inactive long ago. Your posts in other threads also often help new members and keep the discussions active and valuable. For that, I am genuinely grateful.
