I still use the 8x13, under the 200 from the daily down. so on the daily charts price will be below the 200 (most pairs) then keep going down to shorter TF's until the price is above the 200. draw up a fibo on the last wave or swing movement then wait for the price to drop below the 200 and the short zone of the fibo's go for T1 or T2 depending on price action, exit., call it a day or look for another opportunity somewhere else.
so do we forget the 100, and i am assuming in this example trend is short, so this would be reversed for a long trend. the trades are still trading with the trend, correct.

Trading with the daily and intraday trend, not so much as the monthly trend. I normally do not scalp so the rules on scalping with this method is vague. Mostly the 200 and fibo's I guess. still waiting on that E.J scalp, it went the other way right as I was ready to get in, glad I waited.

have you tried the trend wizard yet, here are some of the resulting alerts plus a couple from the BWR 3ma system, close of the hour and ping, ping ping

forget the first GU, thats just the chart i'm running it on the pair is shown just after that, charlie sent me an email yesterday, he's had 24 pairs shown so far and all have been profitable.
still wouldn't trade of the ping alone, but it make finding them easier.

i've got to set up the fib first, and then i'll get back to you, i still think the 8x13 cross will work well on any tf

did you put it in the EA folder (experts) and load it from the ea file from the navigator. my settings are as follows top to bottom

100 50 30 20 1 5 6 t t f t t t t t

it should be on a 1h chart any pair with no other indicators. it will then give you updates every hour, i may drop mine into another profile and just use it at the start of the day and then use the 3ma for day to day trading.

So here are all of Bobokus fibo's so you can add them yourself,
I dont like the indicator so much because I like to draw them manually.

T is target
R is resistanc
S is support

Fairly easy


T5 4.236
T4 2.618
T3 2.382
T2 1.618
T1 1.382
HIGH 1
R1 0.809
LONG 0.618
PIVOT 0.5
SHORT 0.382
S1 0.191
LOW 0
T1 -0.382
T2 -0.618
T3 -1.382
T4 -1.618
T5 -2.382

If you have MT4 Draw a normal fibo on your chart
then click on objects list, select fibo, select edit, go to parameters
and add them in manually. It take a few minutes but its worth it.
Most of the settings are already there you just have to rename them and
add the others.
Use the fibs Luke.

I trade I almost took. This was USCAD, the 8 just crossed the 13 to go short but I waited for the fib conformation, which never happened. Glad I waited.

don't forget to the %$ sign to your labels on your fib's, it shows you the price.

anyway watching AU, looks like another good bounce coming up on the 1h, 4h and daily already long.

i stayed out of the uscad as the ma's were all over the place, daily broke short on the 100 , but 4h is retracing - might be a bounce to resume the short, now that the fed have cut. and this also lines up with the 4h fib short at 1.0065

look how many times the T1 was hit, i even moved the fib down a swing and the T1 became a T2. i should close my EU longs well at least one anyway.

Hiya,
MPP sent me over(Im only on page ten though) and I have to say this looks like something that could fit in well with what Im doing now...my weakness has always been my entries...Im pretty good about cutting losses and holding on to winners so if I can find something that helps me refine my entries I will be well chuffed. Anyway, well done and... I will try not to crack too many dumb blonde jokes when I visit ehhhh, take care, Raz

Hold on to your longs, its still retesting those levels building support, The trend is still pointing up, don't exit until you have clear indication that it may reverse, and since you were not in a scalp and you have been holding awhile I would wait and see if it can go higher.

Entries are hard and this system makes it a little bit easier, unfortunately the exits on this system are a little bit harder as it forces you to stay in through corrections watching your some of your pips disappear, but then you wake up the next morning and you have all of your pips back and even more! This system takes discipline to stay in the long trades but its worth it in pips If you have any questions feel free to ask.

BWR,

I'm using this system, on GFT it still works although I can't upload all the targets you have here. Keep up the good stuff.
