Eagle,

Don't know if you were directing this to Harold, but, if you have good weekly/monthly performance you must be doing the system correctly from the mental approach, as well as money management. Its good to see success!

autaret,

Bravo on the data collection into excel!

I like the changes you made from the last one; color coding and easy one page print out.

This data is very valuable in supporting one's trader psychology and technical indicator readings interpretation when applying it towards the mint methdology.

I will continue to look forward to seeing this weekly, if you continue to do so publically. if not, please send it to me via PM. As more weeks of data are generated into your format, i think it will provide great value in $management decisions.

Your Fellow Minter,

T4L

Hi H,

1.) Let's say both EMA's are exactly the same value at the close of a daily or hourly candle, this means no signal, correct?

2.) Let's say a pair is short on the dailies. It signals short on the first hourly candle, and you take the short. Sometime later, the stochs reverse, and the trade fails. Then, still later on that day, the stochs change again, signaling short. Do you take the second short trade?

Thanks H!

if you enter a trade and stochs change at the close of candle close trade we only look at daily the night before to determine the next day trade we dont look at them during the day. a very strange night signals were very mixed and then there was yen strengthened un fortunatley the bus left my station to early but a shuttle bus came a little later i was able to bag 30 als o if both emas are the same and the other 2 indicators are crossed you can make a call look at chart and see if there is a trend forming

what i think eagle is referring to is taking these trades on longer term from the monthly or weekly i think only problem taking monthly signals what longer time frame do you look at for trend direction? maber weekly from monthly only prolem is you would need deep pockets

when doing analysis it might help to see the whole picture as an indicator. yes we use 2 lagging indicators on the daily to get trend direction and we use 3 of them to activate trades. here are 2 charts one with what a perfect setup looks like one not so perfect we use everything the market has to say not to over analyze the market but using these clues to confirm the direction of the daily trend and to see if this is the right time to enter like today we did have signals at 600 on gbpjpy and eurjpy but audjpy was going long so i chose to stay out but here are a few little tips that might help when the picture is a little fuzzy the price action is always the main indicator anyway

Bro Harold,


Its sad to see you go but all I can say is this, "May Allah reward you for all of your efforts, which you did without asking for any favours from anyone..." You were being one of the most honest people I have come across on these forums.


I have learnt a lot from your advice and help. Take care Harold and have fun in life. We'll be in touch via emails - but once in a while :-)

Regards

thank you harold for the great help you gave to me and all others in this thread.
it changed my trading from heavy overtrading and having a lot of stress watching the screen for hours to a relaxed kind of trading.
archiving only a little pips but constantly is the key for me to be sucessfull.
put in the trade after you made your analysis, set TP and SL ... and do something different from trading thats what i have learned from you.
so again, thank you and farewell

Harold,
I totally understand you wanting to spend more time with family and less time on the computer. You had mentioned before about not always being here but I had assumed it would have been awhile down the road still.

To be honest, I feel like I've lost a friend. I would like to thank you for all you have done on here and for all the information you have given me. You were my mentor in the forex.
