Hey Tiki

I'm trying to understand your method. I just noticed you took 2 longs on euro even though price has continued to drop. Are you placing longs based on the levels you have away from the 5 EMA?

So... when price reaches the 1st level under the 5 EMA, you take a long and target 50 pips, if it continues and hits 2nd level another long targeting another 50 pips and again for the 3rd. Do I have that right?

Thought I would post this because your method definitely deserves merit. I placed a 5 EMA on my euro daily chart and placed levels 144 and 233 on either side (although personally I don't even think it's necessary to have them there), similar to the Vegas Wealth Builder but different in how it's traded.

If you trade this with the major trend, you could clean up big time. I've indicated certain candles where the body AND wick isn't touching the 5 EMA (this is where I would go long and trade towards the 5 EMA).

They're fibonacci numbers.

55+89 = 144
89+144 = 233
144+233 = 377 (this would be your next fibonacci number)

When you place a moving average onto your charts, next to the "parameters" tab, there is a "levels" tab. Click on that and add the levels you want. ie. 144 and -144, 233 and -233.

I don't think it's really necessary to add them though, you just need to know what the major trend is and have the 5 EMA by it's own. The fib levels do nothing. No point really putting it there if it serves no purpose.

I see that tiki seems to let the price reach a second line before he decides it is far enough away from the 5ema, also when is the best time to enter the trade? is it at close of candle in my case 12.00 midnite in uk?

To be honest I have no idea how Tiki trades it and it's best you ask him instead. I was curious earlier about how he traded it because I noticed he took two long positions on euro so I thought maybe it had to do with his levels.

If I were to trade it based on the charts I showed, yes you'd enter on the close. Keep in mind I haven't tested this out at all but what I'm seeing is interesting. I'd probably trail price as well maybe 100 pips or something I dunno just to cover myself.

Have no idea, I was trying to figure them out earlier. He's the one that came up with this concept so he's probably the one to ask plus I don't want to hijack his journal

The first two trades this morning I took because I was in a hurry to get out the door to work... we will see what happens with those trades... I am not so happy about those.. this is what happens when one is in a hurry... and not thinking well... but overall.... these is still a good chance for them...

The second two I took becuase I came back a few monutes later and found price a million miles even further away.... at that point.... my principle thought is that the daily bar is now at or exceeding its average daily range... and that will strongly suggest to me that price will begin coming back to the 5 ema soon...

Now it is later in the afternoon... and price is turning back towards the 5.... but things were obviously very dicy today in Britain.... and news says those strike probelms may go on.... which makes me wonder if EUR price will continue down....

This is why TT5 trades are demo still... lets see where I can blow it... but for now these trades in my comfort zone and I would still feel fine about them if they were live trades....

It is all similar to vagas.... those fib lines are fine too.... I only use my indicator to remind how far price is away from the 5 ema... after that I might use PA to decide when to trade..... or I might just ask my cat....

I have never been good at trading with the trend... and have always had trouble even getting on a trend.... so finally I decided I would just trade towards the 5 ema when price gets far away from it.... that's it... I pay no attention to the trend.... the trend was never much of a friend to me... if anything, over these years.. the trend seems to be my mortal enemy... I seem to be one of those who always need to buck the trend.. so I had to find a way to do that and still get my pips..........

I know you don't do the 4 hour timeframe but even this is interesting. Some of these aren't even PA setups either. It seems it works best when there is a crazy extreme move like we had today although it'll be interesting to see if there's a pullback on euro. I took an experimental trade both on euro and aussie for fun and both are in profit. What's kinda cool too is you can get away with really tight stops.

This method probably will do well on the euraud because that pair is very erratic and doesn't have much of a trend either. hmmm

Still seems like a good one Tiki
I am testing using the fibo channels given to me by Zoopy, maybe waiting till any part of the day not just at close and if price goes away from 5 to say between 1st and 2nd fib, I will take trade then back to 5, will test for a bit and let people know
respect

Oh my... have you all seen the very nice weekly Pin Bar on AUD/USD....???

And the very COOL divergence that goes along with it... !!!!!!

I don't know about these weekly trades like this... do I have the patience for it to work out...??? It is very tempting this time... looks very nice to go all the way down to the 62 ema...

I really want EUR to go back up... so I have decided to draw a convenient trend line to keep price from going down any lower....
