Thanks for your response PipCruiser.

Another question. I see that a perfect 15 Min strategy buy signal lined up right at the end of the london session on friday. Would you folks have taken that or would you be wary of holding a trade like this over the weekend? Does the weekend time off "invalidate" the signal?

I see that if I had taken it I would have hit both TPs by now, but that doesn't necessarily mean I should have done.....
I see a long trade signal near the end of the trading week on Friday. There are no specific guidelines against keeping trades during the weekend. This is an area where you use your own discretion.

Likewise, some choose to not trade on Friday, some choose to only trade during certain hours, and some won't trade just before a news release. These are things you need to make up your own mind about, hopefully during demo testing.

Personally, I didn't trade GJ last Friday because price had been consolidating in a tight range for a couple days. I wanted to see price trending upward again first.

Another question.....

I'm having trouble ascertaining the daily pivots allowing for daylight saving times. I've read most everything on all auslanco threads regarding the pivots and i've been setting the london daily pivot time to 8 at 8am GMT. My broker is on GMT. Then I change it to 13 at 1600 GMT and 00 at midnight GMT. It seems from the threads that most people keep the london pivot line until 1600 when they go to the NY one, hence the slight delay in switching over to the NY pivot.

But according to forexfactory the london session started at 7am gmt this morning, which would be 8am local time in London (daylight savings).

The difference between 8 and 7 is only a handful of pips but it would be nice to know it's right.

PipCruiser, I followed the link from the other thread so I know I'm on the right track. It's just a question of whether the start of the London session follows local London time in the summer or whether it follows GMT, effectively pulling those traders out of bed an hour earlier....

My daily pivot value is 212.07 today for London session (starting at 8). Can anyone confirm this?


Thanks again for your help

How are you doing, Kenu?

You've probably figured out by now that the QQE5 and QQE60 refer to QQE smoothing factors of 5 and 60.

You may have also figured out that the 1hr/4hr is quite a bit different than the 15 minute strategy, and doesn't require as many indicators. I see you've already been linked to an FF thread for the 15min:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=45076

Here's one that mainly covers the 1hr/4hr:

Here's another that's for MT4 indicators:

You've touched on what I think is the biggest problem with this strategy. The daily pivots and the way they're recalculated for each session. It would be a lot less trouble if it wasn't for daylight savings time (and multiple brokers, and multiple trading platforms).

You're in the UK and they switched to daylight savings time recently. While on standard time your clocks were in sync with GMT; but with daylight savings time you are now 1 hour ahead of GMT. Since you're using MT4 and your broker is on GMT time, give this a try:

For London session change the pivot at 08:00 (8AM) UK time, but use 7 for the DayStartHour setting. This way you'll be changing the pivot at the actual start time of the session, and you'll use the correct GMT time for the settings.

For NY session change the pivot at 16:00 (4PM) UK time, and use 12 for the setting. For Tokyo session change the pivot at 23:00 (11PM) UK time, and use 24 for the setting. NY is on daylight savings time, but Tokyo is not.

I think this will get things squared away for you. But it will change again when the UK and US switch back to standard time.

Lately I've been using the 15min 100sma moving average instead of the session daily pivots. The 30min 50sma would also work, as would the 1hr 25sma. All of these are basically 1 day price averages, much like daily pivots. I make sure price is on the correct side of them before taking a trade.

For TP targets I've been using the standard daily pivots, a fixed number of pips, a likely area of S/R using fibs, a major moving average, or a price area on the chart that shows historical S/R. If the trade isn't taken during prime hours, I usually treat it as a scalp and reduce the pip target and risk.

P.S. - Lately I've been doing without the LSR (level stop reverse indicator) as well. I also wonder why we need both the 1hr 100sma and the Daily 5sma in the strategy. The 1hr 100sma is basically a 4 day price average, and the Daily 5sma is a 5 day price average. Maybe one of these would suffice.

Again, thank you PipCruiser for your help and time. I really do appreciate it.

I had a good long look at pivot points overnight and came to the same conclusions as you, so it was nice to have my findings confirmed when I woke up.

ForexFactory has session start times on its homepage so I used that. As you suggested I am setting at 8am UK time (BST) to 7, and at 4pm BST to 12. The only difference I found to what you posted was that Tokyo still seems to start at midnight GMT according to FF, so I set the pivot to 00 at 1am BST. I'm usually not trading then so it's less use to me.

It takes a little getting used to but it's clear to me know. So thanks....

A thought on the 1H 100SMA and Daily 5SMA....

Whilst it's true that they both are averages covering the same period, one averages the closing price at the end of each hour thus reflecting a bit more of the daily noise and variations, whilst one only averages the daily closing price. As such I think they can be useful together. A wild spike that lasted more than an hour and less than a day would be reflected in the 1H 100SMA and not the D 5SMA.

The principle I pciked up from your post was to know why each indicator is used in the strategy rather than just treating them as meaningless lines that cast out signals like runes. The QQEs are harder to get my head round but the SMAs I cna grasp.

I also try and follow Hakuna's suggestion to load an indicator and go back over the charts seeing what happens when the price crosses it, when a candle forms above or below it, whether the price bounces off it or not. All this helps me to see exit points on my trades easier.

I'll be following your variations on the strategy with interest over the next few days. Hope the market's treating you well at the moment.

Nice post. You are 100% correct about Tokyo session. It's strange how this can be clear and obvious one moment, but confusing again a short while later. LOL.

I tend to agree with you on the 1hr 100sma and the daily 5sma. I'm still using both, at least for now. They're only 20 points apart as I write this, and within the current price range. But that varies with time.

QQE's can take awhile to grasp. Last summer Aus told us to watch them, and get to know their behavior that way. This does work, but it requires some patience and experience. It might be more of a right brain approach to learning than a left. Give it some time and see how things go for you.

Well, right now, I'm putting QQE indicators back into my manual trading in which I'm using crossings of two MAs, 25 MA Linear Weighted Closed, and 13 MA Exponential Closed. I was shown this from a friend of mine, but he only uses these two MAs alone and nothing else, which is fine and all, but I want to see if I am able to filter out some false signals by putting the QQE60 into consideration with its confirmations.

Time to trade: Any time, but best of course during London and NY like most other methods since these two markets is more volatile than others.

Number of signals per day: Usually 1

Risk % per trade: 3-5% (10% if you're really a risk taker)

I'm test trading this method on GJ with the H1 chart.
(You can also test this on other pairs, but please use 25 TP and 25 SL)

With the QQE, I'm using QQE 60.

TP 50, SL 50. 1:1 risk ratio. (if want to be on the safe side, if next support/resistance comes before TP, take that as TP instead minus spread)

When the 13 MA crosses the 25 MA, wait for the 25 MA to point to a direction, down or up, the more slope the 25 MA is pointing, the better, if flat or kind of flat, don't enter even if the QQE 60 confirms.
When the MA crosses, you then look at QQE60 to see if it is also crossed in the same direction, meaning, if MA crossing is pointing to a Buy (13 MA crosses up over the 25 MA), with the 25 MA also pointing in a good up slope direction with its gap between the two MA lines widen (if gap is small, don't enter), is the QQE60 also crossed above the dotted line? if not, trade is not confirm and wait for QQE 60 to cross up and then enter as it crosses, no need to wait for H1 candle to close.

Emergency exit is when QQE 60 crosses the other direction.

That's it; I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible to trade.

If anyone has any thoughts about this, ways to further improve this method, or can test this with me, that would be great.

Thanks

Well, I've been going through different settings to see if there was any way I could have filtered out that bad Sell trade I had the other day.
I decided to add another QQE for confirmation, using QQE with smoothing of 30.

With that setting, it did indeed filter out that trade, as the QQE30 never closed below the dotted line crossed at the time of the confirmation, as it has recrossed back up earlier. To test this to see if it does work, new rule I'll have to write down would be, the QQE30 line must cross the dotted line and stays closed below from a closing of a candle. Usually for a trade to be good where as QQE60 has crossed in the same direction, the QQE30 should have already crossed and stayed in that direction at the time of entrance, if QQE30 isn't, it means it has recrossed the other direction, and chances of a price reversal might still be in place.

I'll test trade this next week and see how it goes. Below is the template with the QQE 30 in place too.

Let me know if any of you have any questions with this method, I'll try my best to answer them here for you. My friend has been trading it with only the MAs alone pretty successfully the past few months, but sometimes he doesn't use SL, but since I'm not too comfortable without using SL, I'm trying to see if using QQEs will help filter out some trades that might have hit the 50 SL, and still get pretty high percentage of winning trades overall. Good luck everyone.

Hello Nobitacu. I also think QQE's can compliment other strategies very well.

A "linear weighted closed" average, huh? I'll have to play around with that. It's also nice to hear about some experiments with QQE smoothing factors. I suspect a lot of potential remains untapped there.

Take care, and have a great week!

Hi PC hehe,

I'm just glad you're posting again. ^^

Yea, I've never played with linear weighted MA before either until my friend showed me these two MA crossing method, but it's been pretty good so far, as long as the rules are followed, the direction and slope of the 25 MA sometime after the crossing and the gap between the two MAs not close to each other when entering.

QQE is a very interesting indicator, and there is a lot more to it then we know, just like how MAs has so many different settings and ways to use it, so does the QQE. If only the person who made the QQE indicator can come and talk to us here about it more, that would be great.

Have you noticed how a QQE with a smoothing factor of 1, has a solid line that's identical to an RSI (relative strength index) indicator set to 14?

Lots of RSI references here. It seems to use 14 for the QQE solid index line, then uses that in a formula to ascertain the "fast" and "slow" line.

Hmmm... you're right, a lot of RSI references in the QQE indicator. So perhaps the QQE are based on different RSI settings, so QQE is more like a costumed RSI? I wonder if there is a newer QQE indicator than the one I have right now? anyone know?
