Still here antuque... I guess everyone is in the same boat as me and wondering where Endroute is and hoping he will come back to his thread. It would be great to have some input from the master himself!

I am trading demo only at the moment.
But I really like the system and I think I will start trading this system with a small amount of real money and low leverage to test it under real market conditions.

Yeah there was red news at 8:30 GMT for the pound - Can't see the results cause the calander is apparently down but that's prob what caused the reversal

Then Enter Short again at 1.6044 with TS set at 15pips..... Just hit the TS with profit +24 pips...

p/s: All my trades are on real money (but only micro account, leverage 1:200)

Very precise...
I compare with ADX and all the entries coincides but too much precise.

I looks like gonna cross at the blue line... so, IMO not good for going long (buy)...
I think more likely to go down south, due to the COG is heading down....
I will only wait for the EMA cross downward at top green line, & will go Short... Just wait and see....

Ermmm... looks like you are right, because I never compare with other Indy... Only COG, EMA 5 13 (both are from Endroute ), & I added Stoch (14,3,3) to see retracement sign.
I think I will just use these, not to make it to complicated...
Thanks....

Just some info you might already know about the stochastic but I'm bored so I'm gonna write it anyway for people who don't.

From what I've been taught and witnessed myself it's not enough to say that when the stoch is above 80 it's "overbought" or below 20 its "oversold" because most of the time when the market is trending it will stay above/below these levels and keep trending: below 20 = trending down... Above 80 = trending up.

You can only really use it as a reversal sign or signal when it cosses back down from above 80 to below 80 = short.

Or crosses back up from below 20 to above 20 = long

Look back over your charts and see this for yourselves it's a very common occurance. Truth is no one really knows what's overbought or oversold but you can get a good idea of when it's about to turn around!

Just trying to keep this thread educational lol

I think someone requested the Multi time frame Stocastic indicator earlier in the thread. So here it is.

It's handy if you want to see for example the 4hr stoch (change timeframe to 240 minutes (4h hours!)) on the 1 hour chart

Thanks for everyone who is keeping this thread alive and posting their trades steven leo, antuque, and scratch spring to mind!

Enjoy!
