{quote} Hi Straasha, Thank you for your work and contribution! I understand you’re busy, but would it be possible to add the M30 timeframe to RH_RSO_MTF v0.6.ex4? When trading, we usually look at one higher TF, but according to RH it should be 4–5 times higher, so M30 might be more appropriate for M5. Regards,
Hi,
Yes, but I am never far
Here is version 0.8 to test.

I’m just curious has anyone actually traded this strategy successfully on low time frames? I feel like the system lacks some filters and confluence for lower timeframes but performs better on higher timeframes. I took allot of time going through Roscearms posts but no offense, I’ve been a little suspicious of his results lol.

This is in NO WAY a jab to this trading system and I know this has helped many traders. I’ve been reading this thread off and on for ages. But I’m genuinely curious about low timeframe performance if anyone can chime in.

is the blue line of the RSOR a "better" roadmap?

Actually, I use both at the same time on the same chart now. However, the settings for the "RoadMap" that I use varies depending on the instrument and the time frame that I am trading.

For example, sometimes I use the 34 EMA to create the RoadMap, or sometimes I use the 18 or the 21. Or, I sometimes use something like this:

*21 EMA, close
24 EMA, high
18 EMA, low

* Or this:

13 EMA, close
21 EMA, close
34 EMA, close

* Or this:

21 EMA, close
34 EMA, close
55 EMA, close

* I realize that using the above 3 EMA's are not the typical way to "create" the RoadMap but I have been using some version of the "RoadMap" ever since I created it back in the late 90's so I can "SEE" what the 3 different ma's settings are telling me in much the same way as the "traditional" RoadMap configurations tell me.

Also, if you "really study" the RSOR for many, many hours, you should eventually come to truly value what the 3 lines that comprise the RSOR are telling you.

For example, you could take trades ONLY based off of the location of the dark blue RSI line. Notice how the the blue line in the chart below shows you numerous Continuation trades on the chart.

The RSOR indicator is the last indicator that I would ever give up now, and I could easily make mostly profitable trades by using ONLY it, and in the numerous different ways that I now use it.

Hello fellow traders,
I need clarification on the stop loss placement method when using the Trading Made Simple system (RobinHood/Uncle R method).
According to the classic rules, for long trades the stop should be placed "just below the low of the 2nd candle back behind the bar you entered on."
However, the system template uses Heiken Ashi candles, where Open, High, Low, and Close are mathematically calculated/averaged values, not actual market prices.
The contradiction:

  1. If I place the stop based on the HA candle's Low, the actual market price could be completely different, causing the stop to trigger incorrectly (either too early or too late)
  2. If I switch to normal Japanese Candlesticks just to calculate the stop level, I lose the visual trend clarity that HA provides

How do you solve this issue?

  1. Do you switch to Japanese Candlesticks only to identify the actual Low for stop calculation, then switch back to HA?
  2. Do you use the ATR method (2×ATR) instead of the "2 candles back" rule?
  3. Do you use a dual overlay (HA + normal candles with transparency on the same chart)?
  4. Do you look at the price scale on the right to find the actual real price Low, ignoring the HA calculated values?
  5. Other solution?

Please share how you technically implement this in MT4/MT5/TradingView when trading this system on Heiken Ashi charts.
P.S. If using the ATR method, what multiplier do you use for H4 and Daily charts? (1×ATR, 1.5×ATR, 2×ATR?)

It would take quite of bit of time to answer all of these questions properly, and then the answers may not matter so much now as I first posted the initial methods almost 7 years ago and "things" in the thread have evolved a lot since then - which is exactly what I hoped would happen.

I don't know how deep into the thread that you have read, but based off of the questions you asked, I can only assume that you have not read but so far in as of yet.

I would highly suggest that you read the whole thread so that you can see how things actually evolved throughout the thread, otherwise I would suggest that you start reading at about page 400.

If after reading everything, you still have questions, I/we will be happy to answer them.

Good luck!

Hi RH,

May I ask what the main reason was for switching from the RHO Pro Triple Threat method to the one using RSO / RSOR ?
Which one is better (easier but still effective) for new traders?

The thread is quite long with great information and steady progress, but I guess it can be challenging for newcomers to read and analyze everything. It might be helpful if you could somehow highlight the main pros and cons for each: the post #, the Triple Threat (TT) and RSO methods.


Regards,

Here's what happened...

I created the Triple Threat because initially I was using only one RHO on a chart, but then I added a 2nd one, and then a 3rd one, each with different settings, AND then I added the RSO. So that's 4 lower windows which basically took up about 1/2 of the chart which I did not like, so I slowly started to remove them until I was down to only using the RSO, and then that evolved to the RSOR.

The reason for the switch is simple. I like the RSOR better than any other indicator that I have ever used for trading. Because, when you fully understand all of the different things that it shows/tells you, it can be crazy good.

As far as comparing the pros and cons for each indicator/template, that would be excessively time consuming for me to research and do it properly, but I would say use whichever of the indicators or combination of indicators that you feel the most comfortable with.

Personally for me, I now usually only use one lower window, and it contains the RSOR.
