yes, i understand your point. style comes into play. it is not a setup that i would take at random. i actually was watching something else too for confluence. the 5 min trade setup is something i am experimenting with between 7 am and 9 ish; until ~ nyse open and then after that from ~ before 10 - 11. dont have the exact times worked out yet.
looking to get 1 winner and be done.

i also took a peak at the 30 min for e/j to see qqe, etc.

I followed your suggestion and reinstalled a latest version.
But not solved yet..
Hallo RedA!

Actually cryten waived the use of this concept in recent posts.

First he stated #1017 - in order not to get him wrong I asked #1018 - then cryten came up with this rather prosaic expression

"yeah, indicator is a waste of code "

in #1019 . And so the indicator was dropped out of the list of "things to colour my platform in MT4"

If you still feel like installing it you will find a description in the vecinity of the posts up there.

Best Wishes!

this type of setup - Sell, Sell, Buy (only w/good profit/reduced lot size)

A to B = Sell if u can catch it.
B to C= Retrace
C to D = second chance
beyond D = likely to chop around, consolidate or reverse.

in this case, beyond D made a dbl bottom, but i passed on the long side cuz i missed out on A.

I dont like to play around beyond D without really good profit. lol

really good profit to me means u caught A and C and tried D with reduced lots.

Before I forget it... your charts look just great and your graphicssoftware, wow!
I get the point and it is nice to do on manual trading. (Actually I will give it a try ) I think that this cannot be done by an EA though, as there is no way to let it distinguish between these points.
It is a good way for the small timeframes to squeeze the extra pips if it lines up. But to think about coding it? No way I guess.

But the buying on retracement under defined circumstances on the 75:25 basis may be possible!

Yeaha!

Yupp! I got it now. 30 days trial * 8 computers (changing IP)... . No, in fact, if it is as good as it looks when you are posting, I will buy it. Thanks for the tip.

Hi guys,

I am trading this manually on the 4hr charts. Even though tests show some other timeframes may be more optimal for certain currencies, I assume it is still ok to trade GU, EJ, GJ, UJ, AJ, and CJ on the 4 hr time frame?
Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

Hi Boss Hoss!

The 4H is possibly the (tradeable) timeframe with the least false signals. Also it allows for a life off the computer every now and then. I worked my way out off the 5M to 30M and arrived at 1H now. This seems to be ideal for me and the EAs are performing brilliantly on that TF.
For manual trading the "shorties" are close to scalping with signals. Sounds odd, but it works. And the longer timeframes have the beauty of seeing trades for 100+ pips developing and being closed just by the reverse signal ... or when you just want the pips in your pocket instantly. (Had that happening to me several times.)
You may add NZDJPY to your list. It workes pretty nicely also.

Greetings!

Hi Gnat!

I like the 1H too. Do you use it with indicators? I've been working just with QQE and figuring out TP system for that which could help me bank some more pips. I've few ideas but when they seem to work fine the next trade they're cutting me out from very profitable trade. Maybe just tight SL and multiple lots with TPs and trailing? Any ideas?

- finnfx

ps. I promised more QQE dot2dot-test results few days ago but I haven't post any since. I've to apologize. I'll post them when (if) I find out exit-strategy for QQE on 1H.
If you want to win you need a Finn (an old English saying from the 60's)

Hallo FinnFx!

I am also still in the process of "figuring out". Trailingstops seem to be hit too often in an early stage and make no sense if they are just too large. I arrived at Trailingsstops of 65 at 1H for GBPJPY, for the other JPY-crosses at 55 and at 45 for GBPUSD. It was alright for two days now, but far from being ready for a hot tip here.
Then we have the smaller timeframe discussion for retracement buying to grab extra pips today. Maybe you can have a look and let us know what you think.
I enter on the QQE only at this time with the various robots and manually I try to stick to the concept more closesly and find a good technique for a low entry (which may in the end flow into the EA ... lazy dog that I am).

Looking forward to the test-results, but take you time on that.

Back from work?

I'm new to this thread just this week but have read about the 1st half and the latest 10 pages. Question about Heiken Ashi bars..... is the highest wick and lowest wick on the bar the highest price and lowest price??? I can't find out much about it. I'm trying to determine SL before entry on a trade. I have switched to 15m timeframe because I guess I suck at 5m or something... Back testing looks good and I got into a nice move earlier today on the GJ and EJ. How much screen time do I need to trade this to feel comfortable? Any words of wisdom?
Thanks ahead of time,
N8

Here you have the list #1044.

There is another EA in one of the younger posts with more detailed settings:

#1125 This is by winsteadglenn (or coded for) and I am just setting things up for that on my backup system.

Yeah... sorry!

Cryten updated the first post recently and all indies can be found there. Sorry for missing the point there. Actually I was answering PMs about the EA at the same time. LOL

I will sign off for today... no - I will look into it late again. Have to leave now.
