How do you use stoch exactly?
I have Stoch 5,5,3 on the 15M and 5M , and just look for the general direction - if one of them (particularly 15M) looks like they are turning in the opposite direction of the cci - dictated trend then I stay out. A lot of the philosophy taken from Spud's MTF Stochastics Strategy.
Probably just because its a heavily down-trending day, but there have been 5 +20 signals this morning in the last 4 hours - wish I had taken all of them...

Has anyone analyzed the best times to trade or are the percent profitable about the same throughout the day? Thanks, Lynn

I've been doing ok in the 6AM - 12 PM EST time period. But in this crazy market you have to be very very careful. Have gotten stopped out twice today, but and am now back in profit (barely).

Hi Ib

I like 7am to 11am and 2.30pm to 5pm all uk time..any system relies on volatility we need vol to move the price.

Hope that helps

Hi Paulus, I've been mini trading with real, albeit small dollars. I'm only hitting about 30 percent profitable. Some of the low percentage is due to my entry errors - too early or too late. Anyway, I wondered if you could post some additional days trades - good and bad for me to study and compare to my entries and exits. If you could I'd appreciate it. The principles behind the strategy seems real solid to me. Thanks Lynn

Posting your charts would be much more beneficial for you than asking Paulus to take the time to post his. That way you could get help from any number of traders using this system/strategy in perhaps seeing where your entry points and/or entry/exit times are 'incorrect' (?)

Right now Paulus has an awful lot on his plate, and while I am sure he would love to take the time to help everyone individually, that's not one of his present options .

Hi

Ib Il try but as Flameco says I have alot of personal issues right now things are better but these things take alot of time to resolve and that has to be my priority if I get time today I will post some hope it helps and thanks Flemenco for explaining in case I didnt get to see the post i appreciate it

Iv had allot of email from guys asking if I can look at a system to use just on 1 time frame..I think its so that they can have several swaps open looking for signals ..with 2 time frame i guess its alot more confusing having several charts open,

I went through my old futures systems and as you can guess by my posts I have alot of trading ideas in my head and have looked at most of them some more than others.

One that showed great promise on futures may well work on Forex it works on 1 time frame I will post a chart in a min but wont give out the rules untill I have tested it for a week il do it on eurusd on the 5min time scale.

If it is successful or shows any promise I will post template and chart with rules in FF but under a new thread the link to which I will place here.

It is designed to take advantage of a trend and pick high probability set ups I would imagine you get around 12-15 signals a day

So far today 3 signals

With this Forex Freedom Bars Indicator (which I found on another thread) you can have the 5 - 15 - 30 (I hide the 60M) CCI on one chart.

It saves having to have 2 or more charts up, and is a real benefit for me.

You have to change the values in the various times in the indicator to 8 (or 6 if you prefer)

And yes - I don't have the Stoch on my charts. I also like to have the regular 5M CCI8 showing, even though it IS displayed on the Forex Freedom Indicator!

I had a similar mtf CCI bar indicator, I think I got it from TSD. Anyway, it repainted, and gave false readings. Not saying this one does, but check it just in case.

I have an mtf CCI meter if anyone wants it. It does the job well.

No - this one doesn't repaint. But unlike the CCI8 Histogram the newest bar doesn't form until the previous one closes. That's why I prefer to keep the CCI8 Histogram on my chart. It gives me a better 'heads-up' . But seeing the 15M & 30M CCI is a very valuable visual tool!

Thank you for sharing!
I want to ask 2 questions:

1. Does this edition of CCI repaint?

2. How can I add sound signal to the color-change event?


Thank you!
Just an opinion. Based on research

Paulus, short note to say "thanks". I have followed another one of your treads and am grateful for eveything that you have taught me.

The "Traffic Lights" system is easy to use and the concept behind the method is sound.... looking for a reversal of a "counter trend" back to the main trend. With a little practice on the timing of entries, and correct money management, it IS possible duplicate your success.

Thanks again!
