the key to the mint

thanks stitch961

andrew

trade setups for 2/29; short: gbp/jpy & gbp/chf (oversold). long: gbp/usd & cad/jpy. no trade for others. i could be wrong so be sure to double check b4 trading.

hi stitch961,

agree with 2days trade mate, but with the cad/jpy isnt the emas crossed over & rsi under 50??on my chart now they are maybe they werent @ start of the day.

cheers andrew

andrewb7, I went back and checked and I still get "long" for the cad/jpy on the daily .( on my charts) That doesn't make your "read" wrong, it's just a little different than mine. I use alpari and their charts are 1 hour earlier than most. My charts were always a little different than harold4x but they seem to work so I'm sticking with them for the time being. That doesn't mean your charts are wrong. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be extra watchful if I trade this pr. Thanks again & good trading. Bob

trade setups for 3/3; looks like all are short with the exception of gbp/usd, which is long. good trading.

Stitch961,

Way to keep the thread alive!

"Patience!"

good day everyone, I'm new to this thread and i have some question about the trading system,
1.When looking out for signals from the daily chart, do i need to consider the stoch as well or the Ema cross and the rsi alone?
2.I find it difficult to download the dinap. stoch provided by Halrod4x on the first page of the post so I'm using the meta4 stoch with the settings changed to 8 3 3 hope it will work for the system?
3. When i downloaded the E.A it didn't execute becos i do not have the dinap.stoch pls can any body pls provide me with a meta4 version of the dinapoli stoch?
Thanks,
Osta.

Yep check the paperclip on the far right corner of your screen... check all of the the downloads and choose http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...2008%2011:19pm

Attach it to your chart...

may the pips be ours.........

Thanks for the hand MykeFX, when i click the download it still give me thesame problem as in the file could not be open with MQLEditor4.file (default) and when i tried using MetaEditor.exe it didnt show up is there any other thing i need to do to download it properly? or is there any other way you can help me,
Thanks,
Osta.

osta, first, let me say I'm basically a "computer dummy" but this may work for you. 1. click on the paper clip icon, top right corner, any page in this thread. 2. save any indicator or expert you want on your charts to "my documents" ( don't open the indicator ). keep "my docs" open & 3. open " my computer" - go to program files; open (click on) meta trader. this should open the drop down menu with the "experts" file. click on experts. now you're ready. 4. Go back to "my documents" an right click on the ea or indicator you want and then right click "copy". left click back to meta trade and "paste" (right click)the ea/ indicator you want into 'experts' for ea or 'indicator' for indicators. 5. you then have to shut down metatrader for the indicator or ea to load to the program. re-open mt & voi-la. There may be a much more simple way and, if there is, I hope someone posts it. But for now; this works for me and I hope it will help you. Have a great day and good trading.

I went to bed at 07:00 after checking for any signals... Got up around 13:00 and took the EUR/USD Signal.. went back to bed and got up to a nice +33. Not bad... I got +33 from the same pair last Friday as well. Good start to the week.

once again time for the trade setups for tomorrow, 3/4. Not much change; Long for the gbp/usd; short for all the rest. I know most aren't trading the eur/cad but I show it as Long , also. Trade well. I know most people who have been here for awhile don't need these setups, I just hope they may be a little help for the people new to the "mint".

For all those Mint Trades,

I have a question for those who have been trading live and demo the Mint for about two months or so. Or at least some time before and some time after the fact Harold and the group decided/agreed (my self included) to remove the Stoch indicator requirement from the daily chart to help determine the daily direction. The quesiton is what is your feedback, results, feelings about not having the stoch indicator compared to when it was applied?

I have mix feelings about it. I'm not sure if this past two weeks being very tough has any releationship to the stoch or if the markets have just been channeling too much. I also wonder if tight sideways markets make it tough to reach that 30pip per trade goal at a high 60% winnng rate and should be reducing it down to 20, 15 or 10pips or simply stay out when experiencing these sideways channels.

This is one change in the Trading Plan lately and attempting to review and pin point a few areas that may need change, improvement, or no change due to being in sideways markets.

The above is just me thinking out loud and brainstroming the recent lack of weekly target goal success and wonder what your own thoughts, opinions, or comments are and willing to add to this reflecting period.

T4L, I would have to say that I like checking the daily charts better w/o the Stochs. To me it's just cleaner and simpler. But, and this is a big but, I have not done any checks to determine which of the two might work better. As to the idea of reducing expected returns in the current market environment I started doing that about 2 weeks ago. I no longer wait for 30 pips, I'm looking to get out when I get 15. I've also cut back on my stops so the risk is about the same, even if the return is less. My number of successful trades is about the same, my return is anow about 60% of what it was , say, a month ago. I just got tired of waiting for 30 pips and seeing the trade turn against me after 15 to 20. It would be interesting to know if harold has scaled back a bit. Anyway, I could be doing this wrong, it's just how I'm doing it. It' good to see you still working with the "key to the mint". Keep it up & Good Trading.

hi guys,

i havent missed using the stochs on the daily,stitch961 i agree with the 15 - 20 pips it is still a profit,i chase less pips than most as i put more lots on each trade so chasing less seems 2 work,thats in my case anyway.

i like to check daily trades 2 c if i am still seeing it correctly,i think we should keep this thread alive,maybe we can post winning /losing trades it helps that we are all on the same wavelength..

cheers andrew.

question for anybody if on a daily chart the ema 5 is above 8 ema & rsi above 50 but is pointing down is it still a long trade??

maybe stupid but thought i would ask

andrew

it seems this is what the version of dinap.stoch the E.A needs to run http://www.forexfactory.com/images/attach/ex4.gif StochasticDiNapoli_v1.ex4 Jan 8, 2008 8:19am 3.1 KB 72 but is not downloading on my system dont know may be i do not have the softwear to open this kind of file, Meta Editor is not opening it, pls is there any one out there who knows where the problem might originate from?
Thanks, great traders!
Osta.

T4L,

I have left the Stoch on the Daily . . . I use it only for helping determine which of the trades to take . . . if there is a buy signal on one pair that is not o/b and a buy signal on another paid that is o/b, then I may choose to either 1) not trade the o/b signal and just trade the other signal; or 2) keep a closer eye on the o/b signal.

My thoughts, AK

osta, Try going into the attachments folder ( the little paperclip icon ) and saving the StochasticDiNapoli v1[1].mq4 indicator to your documents and then copy and paste to metatrader. I don't think that ex4 file is the one that is the actual indicator. I hope this works for you. Give it a try and let me know.
