I agree when you say about S/R switchover. But I dont think that is good to ignore GUPPYs because thay are base of this system. This is than some other system. But than we can add Fib and others thing. And than start another thread......dont think that is good idea. Sorry just my thought.
Yes - I agree, certainly on this thread... don't want to confuse things further !

Hi to all. This has become my primary system.
thanks to all the contributors, i hope i can become one.

Does anyone have issues getting the attached EA's to work. i can load all of them but i get the "X".

im thrilled i have found a truly profitable system, but it does suit the F/T trader, able to watch for hours. has anyone adapted an EA to SMS us to a possible trade?

thanks

ALTEZZA, it looks not bad to me . i just missed it looking at other pairs. the regulars around here could say the guppy is not contracted and the slope is against us. a nice 30+ pip drop tho...

sorry, last post for a bit...

im struggling to find the post which states the best pairs to trade?

E/U good, G/U too volatile, A/U bad?

If you have "x" when you attach any EA that means that you must click EXPERT ADVISOR, look where I put arrow. Then you will have you EA acctivated. After that if you have EA without smile go in EA properties and click" allow live trading" and you will have smile on your attached EA. If you want to have alert on your mobile phone when valid signal occur go in tools, options, find E-mail and fill it with your data. Press test to see if you get SMS.
Look on my attachment which pair are the best for this system.

Right. It helps me to alert me when valid signal occur. I do not use any EA for autotrade, I dont like that.

Like everyone else I have my ups and downs. Thanks for the compliment, as well. One of these days, hopefully, we will be good enough where one trade is profit enough for a week.

In the meantime. Tonight is a perfect example of when you don't like the system. So far it hasn't produced any valid signals yet you see pairs moving. It is painful, but... it is important not to get antsy and stay with the system.

Well Verto I like that waiting for a good signal, especially if price is in small range. After that it will be good signal and big move or ride. These days market is in indecision where to go. That is why we have all those range market and candles with big shadows...Right now is maybe EUR/USD preparing to produce good signal....

what options do you have to use to just see the signals activated by the EA but dont allow it to make the actual trade? i want to take the decision myself.

It isn't a "trading ea" in other words... it doesn't open/close/ or even mess with any open trades. Enabling "live trading" just actives the eas functions. Since the ea isn't actually a trader as long you are downloading SignalTrendfollower + Snapshot then you are golden.

thx man. i downloaded signal v3 , what does the snapshot do and can someone plz attach it? i cant find it. so what options do i have to allow for the EA really trade for me? or it depends on the EA and this on isn't meant to tarde?
another thing, how do i cancel the alerts of the EMA cross? it is really annoying and i dont even think it is needed for this system.
BTW, isn't it a long signal on eur/usd 5 mins ago?

To cancel alerts = goto mt4 chart, right click and goto the indicator list then find the EMA crossover signal, double click to open and turn the Sound on to false, I'll attach the Ea Pilatus and I use. Yes and I'm in the trade... lets see how it goes.

Anyone in the eur/usd trade to go long 25 mins ago & and just stopped out.
Also the JPY going short but again not going anywhere?

I would like to know what I have done wrong?

Nothing as far as the E/U is concerned... It was a valid signal. Systems don't win 100% of the time.

i didnt take this one but if SL is under previous law in 1.4201. entry was 1.4222 with spread it should be 25 pips sl , a nice r/r ratio here.
