Hi All,

I see setup to buy at GBP/CHF 1 Hr TF.

The price already reached below gold line. Candle closed below green line, and EMA crossed up (also crossed below the green line).

Enter Buy at price 2.0767.

Yes, the price will be still valid, but as for me, need to see the lower TF to make the entry.... because in 4Hr TF, 1 candle is a big range... that's just from me, not sure about others...
you right, on 1H TF looks to me like good setup for short... EMA's almost cross.. will see..

The markets are getting volatile before the news release tomorrow...good time to stay away. I had three trades stopped out in last night's reversal, 2 for profit and 1 for a loss. I was glad I moved my stops up on the two that were good trades for the week.
Disregard all prognostications.

Yes, IMO that can be a valid entry because it's passing thru gold line. But if I want to enter (buy) that, I will see the 1 Hr also, so that I enter when the price is going up....

Hello all,
At my office I see the price of GBP/CHF has already gone up to +25 pips, so when I went back for lunch, I moved my SL to BE (at my entry time, set SL 40 pips before gone to bed last nite).
& I set my TP at 80 pips. - because this is GBP/CHF quite volatile like GBP/JPY.

Good luck guys & to me too..

Luckily I set the SL at BE... GBP free-fall (still don't know what caused it)
Anyway, tonite I'll stay away from any entry... so much news...

See you next week....

Really interesting system. Has an EA been developed yet? If so, can someone post the download link?

Hello CFII,

We are using EMA5, EMA13, and JB-CoG (Centre of Gravity - non-repaint).
The setting, can be seen in the 1st page of this thread by Endroute (wondering where is he now, we need him as the guru...)
Attached herewith is the JB-COG & the EMA-cross-alert.

Thanks for clarifying that atuque.

The settings on page 1 refer to "SNAME - 500" but i don't see this input on the JB CoG indicator.

The setting for the JB CoG, will be same except the SNAME (which already taken out, to avoid repainting...)

Is it just me, or does the JB COG use a lot of resources? When I apply it to a chart, it takes a minute or more to display on the chart... in the mean time, MT4 hangs until it the indy finishes loading. It's even worse when trying to backtest it in an EA.

Me too having that "long-time-loading", but it is only at the beginning only, right? As for me, not really a problem & I never do any backtesting in any EA.
I just learn and still learning the best setup to enter at the best time.

thanks for the system. looks real promising. Is there an indicator that will alert you to a change in direction of the COG? from bullish to bearish.
