I saw EUR/CHF 1Hr TF still have valid setup for Short. EMA still crossed Down & the price (the candle) still above the Top Green.

I went short at 1.6115.

Good Luck & T.A.Y.O.R.

a little contribution for the multi chart users. You can increase your chart speed by
1.going to tools in tool bar
2. then options
3. then charts
4.then reduce max bars in history and chart

Great little addition, your charts will run much smoother. Good Trading.

try trailing your entry with a SL.........

Also use a longer TF......

And get rid of the COG, it really doesn't make your trades any more reliable.

It is still reliable... the trade which I closed just now, came back to the entry price... & still going down.
Only me that too afraid to lose... The setup was there, entry was good, & I should have stayed in the trade.

So, just now, I shorted again at 1.6108.

Good Luck to me...

That's normal on the first time you use this COG.
You can just scroll back to the earlier time (scroll to the left), then you will get back the normal chart....

EURUSD was the best looking one today so I went short a couple of times and getting some small pips here and there.

I have one bad trade and lost -23.

I re-enter short again.

Always use pending order. you will get better entry.

Hector this has alredy been explained a few times in the thread but here are the instructions:

1 - Find the COG indicator on the first page of this thread.

2 - Click on it and select "save"- ou need to save it into your MT4 platform indicators folder...To do this follow step 3

3- When it asks where you want to save it select "My computer" then "hard drive" then find "program files" in there you will find yout MT4 platform folder - mine is "interbank fx"- double click on the folder.

4 - In your MT4 folder double click on the folder "experts" and then open the folder called "indicators"

5 - This is the folder you need to save the COG in it should have all your indicators so once you are in here click "Save"

6 - Close your MT4 platform and re open it - the COG will be in the custom indicators list.

Hope this helps.
