Hi Bs

No, I don't have a problem with that. Sorry, I cannot help you.

Hi Guys

I've been using a different platform and gradually moving across to MT4.

The only thing is my old system had a pivot indi that would automatically draw in the pivot, S1,S2,R1 and R2 everyday.

Is this possible with MT4 or do you need to get them and draw them yourself? I have just been learning/testing off the original MA's and angle, but found these level v helpful.

Thanks

Hi Tony

Great - Phillip taught us well and I am so glad that there are members that listen to him.

I started with about (following) 7 pairs, then I decided to follow only 4 pairs. Then I decided to drop the $JPY as well. Now I am down to only my favourite 3 pairs and loving every minute of it. I don't even look at the other pairs.
Hi Willem,

First thanks for your 2 candle setup re-teaching yesterday.
Another question for my curiosity about your dropping usdjpy from your watch list. Are there enough chances in eurusd, gbpusd and eurjpy? Or is this your favorite or othere reasons?
Thanks.

On page 1, under bullet 5 you'll find the links to posts where the indicators are posted. You need to work through and study all the links on page 1 to make a success of this system. That is why I summarised the last part of this thread. It takes hard work to succeed in this system.

More than enough changes to trade. If you follow too many pairs, you'll miss out on nice setups and random will take you out (phillip's famous advice on the 4h MACD system). And it did happen to me on several occations. That is why I decided to drop the $jpy as well. Nowadays I am much more successful and making more pips in trading just my 3 pairs.

Hi Willem,
That is one excellent advice to me. One time one thing. Yes , there are enough chances to trade in the 3 pairs.
But in my thought, eurjpy is more volatile than usdjpy, why do you choose volatile eurjpy but not stable usdjpy in the 5 min system? I think that for 10+spread sl, maybe we should choose more stable pairs for this small SL.
What is your idea?

A very good question - my first reason is that I got burned too many times on the $JPY. In the beginning I've struggle to read this pair.

Secondly, the EUR is my stable pair, Cable is a bit more volatile but manageable. Then there is EY - my favourite pair. I know she is very volatile but with a spread of only 4pips, it is manageable. The GBPJPY has a spread of 8pips is on my platform and I cannot really read that pair. Because of the volatility of the EY, if your entry is spot on - she will give you 10pips very easily. It is also easier to get out near break even if she turns against you. Which was not always possible on $JPY. Also, I just like her wave-like movements as well as the bounces off the support and resistance levels as well as the moving averages.

So I decided to have a stable pair, one that's a little ball more volatile and then a very nice volatile pair. And nice mix of pairs to keep you on your toes.

Thanks Golfer,

I have added the Pivot line, but there doesn't seem to be any Support & Resistance indis in bullet 5. I'd be grateful for guidance from you or someone outthere.

Hi Willem,

Great! I got it. I will try to find and be familiar with my favorite pairs.
Willem, you eurjpy spread is too large, why do you try to change to ECN platform or Oanda(I use it) ? Just one suggestion for short-term trading.

Hi Aih

At this stage, I am very cautious about brokers because I was a victim of Refco - luckily, I just had a mini account with them.

I've looked at Oanda andtheir spread looks good. However, I am not familiar with ECN platform.

I do need a broker with a MT4 trading platform.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks and sorry to be a pain, but I have entered the Multipivot indicator, which gives me one dotted yellow line for the pivot, but I am also looking for the daily S1, S2, R1 and R2 levels. Are these available as a custom indicator?

Also, can anyone tell where to get the FF News indicator that was posted earlier on the thread. Would save me wading through every page.

Cheers

Hi F

No problem - I had the same problem. it is the indicator with all the pivot levels. You just needs to change the colours of the lines. I think that indicator is created for a chart with a black background. You also need to set the mid pivot point to "true" to get the M0-5 lines on the chart.

OK, one and done...

On the EURUSD the 5min came back into the zone so I started watching the 1min. I'm only looking at the ADX on the 1min, not the MACD or the mavg's. The vertical line on the 1min is where price came into the zone on the 5min...

Now the 1min ADX and the DMI+ tick down with the DMI- ticking up, enter with two lots there. The 5min chart was still 'valid' for an entry. Price was hitting Golfer's 50SMA resistance line as well and came back down.

6 on one lot and 4 on the second for 10 pips..

It looks like we took the same trade. But, you never know what price is going to do once your in. It may run and it may turn around and take you out. I go in with two lots and as soon as I hit 5 pips on one, I'm out. I'll monitor the second. If it creeps back to b/e I'm out of it as well. If it runs my way, then I adjust the stop and milk it for what I can. Smaller timeframe = smaller pip target and never lose any of the initial 5 pips that are banked already. This has worked out very well for me. I just don't like to give anything back...

Lot's of work to do today, back later this afternoon.

Peace out everyone!

hey palmer,

sorry if i missed it, but what is you initial stop loss? and is it the same for both lots? since your are eliminating the first lot with 5 pips and let the second run, it could be you are also a bit straighter with your sl on the first lot...

thx in advance
