the key to the mint

how do you attach a chart in the post from metatrader can somebody
explain in point form please thanks

i use the zig zag for a visual most times they are the set up but sometimes there might be a 1 2 3 set up within to get a better price to get in as well as a good stop loss

You need to svae your chart as a picture jpeg, gif on your hard drive. In the forum, click post...write you question or whatever...go to the bottom of the screen you'll see manage attachments, click that button and you will get a browse button that you can search your hard drive. Once you have found the chart click "upload" button and when the chart is finished uploading, click the "submit reply" button and it should post to the forum.

There was another question about how do you find 123 set ups. The best way is to eyeball it using the zig zag as a guide. There are times you may have a slight up or down move and the zig zag indicator doesn't react to it. You can ignore it or if you want you can use the non lag zig zag indicator along with the regular zig zag and it picks up almost all of the up and down moves. I believe T-Wolf uses it that way. At the moment I'm testing them both to see which one I like best. Keep in mind, you can't follow the indicators blindly you still have to look at the chart and watch price action. Realise that the down move that occurs past point 2, in most cases, won't be painted by the zig zag indicator until it has passed point 2, comes to a stop and the candles go the opposite direction. So again, watch price action and use the zig zag indicator as a visual aide.

Hope that helps.

Harold,

Pleaes makes me clear, that day in the trading room you said in the swing trading , the daily trend is not that much important. So do we still need to follow daily signals or concentrate only on 15 min chart?.


Thanks

ozziedave; Dave, I've found an indicator which I use and you might be interested in testing. It's the Gann ZigZag. The only place I've found it is at:

forex-tsd.com indicators- metatrader 4 zigzag indicators post # 3. Like I said I use it for the Mint trades and it seems to work well. good trading & have a great weekend. Bob

forexmad: This is how I see it and maybe harold or someone else will have a different idea. The 15 min chart method of trading the 'mint' can be used as a "stand-alone" method. But, you can eliminate a sizeable number a losing trades by trading with the trend ( I know you've heard that a zillion times before ) and one of the ways to determine the trend is by using the daily charts. There are many other ways but the daily is as good as any. I believe harold also puts the 200 ema on the 15 min charts to provide a "visual" for the trend. Hope this helps. Bob

Here is a short EURCHF trade I took today for +23 pips. We have a 123 setup, H, L, LH. The daily trend is down. Notice the green line and how many touches we have to it (red arrows. This is a support line becomes resistance at point 3.Also note the Fib and we have confluence at the Support Short line (green arrow) which is the 38.2 Fib. Price is rejected by the fib and resistance line and we just wait for the break of point 2. In this case I had so many rejections of the resistance line I just place a sell order at 1.5725. Placed my Take Profit stop @ 1.5702 just before the fib T2 level. I have done 5 trades with this methodology and I've only had 1 loss, but I did trade against the long term daily trend on my loser..my bad.

ozziedave; Dave, I'm not sure you traded against the trend on the eur/chf. I see the longer term trend to be down. But, I could be wrong. Bob

Hi Stitch,

No I didn't trade against the trend on the EURCHf. I tried it on the GBP and lost a few pips taking a short trade. I was just trying to see if I could take a short trade when the trend was retracing as it did on the GBP.

care to share the gain ziz zag indicator?

Hi stitch!
