Here it is:

The CCFp-Diff_[v1.03_current] is EXACTLY the same except that it compare the current CCFp values with the previous CCFp values instead of the 2 previous bars.

I removed everything about the trades suggestions.

Thanks FeruFX for your kindness ....

At 00:00 time today all 4 Time Frames matched for nzd/jpy, aud/jpy and aud/chf producing over 300 pips. When 4 TFs agree it works great.

cjd can u elaborate which 4TF's you're referring to.


......oops found the answer, I really should read all the posts in order

Here's another suggestion that used to work great for the Ozfx system, the system had a 100 pip SL but if you were out about -60 pips there was very little chance of your trade turning around so at this point if you exited the trade and went the opposite way there was a high probability you'd make a profit or at the very least make up for your loss and breakeven.

The problem of using a fixed SL with this system is that its very hard to come up with a common fixed pip stop value, there are so many currency pairs and some are more volatile than others, oftentimes I've noticed you're out by more than 60-70 pips a certain pair and then it turns around and goes your way. If you use a fixed SL I think you should select your pairs judiciously.

Another alternative would perhaps be to use a fixed time stop, say two hours after the 4hr candle. ...... if after two hours the trade hasn't gone your way get out and reverse irrespective of the number of pips you've lost. This is based on the assumption that when trading the 4h time frame the trade hasn't gone your way for the first two hours its unlikely to do so for the next two hours so it might be a good idea to reverse.

Any thoughts on this?

qz10cq,

Thank you for your strategy. I will have a try.

BTW, what is the account & lot size you use for your trades?
I'm using 3000 and .1, .15, .23 for lots. I just closed my 1 hr trades manually this morning (est) with a -75 because my daily trades (4) closed with a +200 for a net of +125. You guys looking at MTF should open this signal bars indicators which in parameters can be toggled to give info back to monthly.

Here's a couple more indicators from the Steinz thread (year ago) which was all about MTF that will go back to monthly also. Maybe these along with FF's can be used.

Here's whats been working for me. I attach FF's latest indicator to 1 hr with trade level 2. I then attach Xaron's seq 1.2 EA which is a semi-martingale (believe me I know martingale's do not work) accord to the direction of FF's indicater.

My first trade is in the direction of FF's indicator, if it goes against me and I'm -40 pips (you can set your own reverse point) the ea opens a trade going the other way and if that reverse again the ea opens one more trade going in the orginal direction.

I have it set to 3 trades only and then your out of that trade. My stop is set to -40 and my tp is set to +1000. I then attach and equitytakeprofit ea set to 50 per trade which means if FF's 1 hr indicator gives me 4 trades then I set it to +200, if I take 3 of his trades then it's set to +150.

The EA never reaches it's take profit but if the basket (let's say 4 trades) reaches +200 in equity then all trades are closed. If you open Xaron's ea you will be amazed at what you can do with it, from breakouts to timed entry and more, he has his sequence set for 24 reverses before you would lose a ton of pips.

You have to zero out all those reverses in parameters or figure out how many reverses fits your style. I usually use a 7 long sequence of .1, .15, .23, .34, .51, .77, 1.15....these #'s are set uo for 1 to 2 sl/tp, meaning if you have a 40 stop and reverse then you have an 80 tp. Xaron's is pre set to 10 reverse and 40 tp and 24 sequences long. I'm up around 2400 since Sunday night with several losses. Enough from me, if there's interest I will continue. Her's some good attachments.
Hello all,

This is my first post in this forum. I am a 62 year old trader... trading stocks and options for about 15 years untill 2004 and switched completely to forex in 2005......

I have been awaiting admittance for a couple of days and noticed today that I may go ahead.

Having followed this thread and the previous one right from the beginning..... I'm glad to see that there still is enough enthusiasm here to continue and finetune.

I agree with FerruFX that this is what has to be done. Somewhere this weekend ...... when trading has stopped..... I'll contribute my view on entry and exit for this system.... for actually you can do this trick (only?)much safer when right at the beginning of a starting trend......

We have seen enough evidence that in a choppy or sideways market losses are cumulative and huge.... which even made some people believe that reversing sells and buys would be the solution......

qz10cq.......In the meantime I'd love to have a glance at your ways trading this system...... Would you be so kind providing us a screenshot and template and the other stuff that is needed to set it all up the right way?

THX. John

Hi John, I'm a senior citizen myself (61). Never figured out how to attach screen shots but would walk you thru any questions you have. The heart of this system is seq.1.2 ea and the equitytakeprofit ea which I've been playing with for the last 6 months trying to get the right system, FF's indicator along with trenchaser psar has been a good trigger for me lately but lets see what happens in a month. I will continue to update everyone here but there dosen't seem to be much interest so lets not clog up this thread. Just pm me and I'll answer anything I can.


I just pm'd Xaron, Trenchaser and Ronald Raygun about this thread. These are some key people and along with FerruFx the talent would be here. There are a ton of great minds here already.

This kind of sums up what FF's indicators are doinf for us. This is from http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=109599


The easiest way to see the composition of a cross currency is to observe the underlying currencies. If you opened three charts side by side on your screen, say the GBPUSD, USDCHF and the cross GBPCHF, and made them bold, large candlesticks on the 1 MINUTE chart, you can observe the tick by tick nature of the moves. The cross currency pair is nothing except the relationship of the strength between the underlying two pairs. Basically, the cross is nothing more than an algorithm of the relationship between the underlying pairs. The cross does not move on it's own accord, as in a standard supply and demand relationship (like contracts in the Futures markets traded on an exchange). Rather it moves in a dance in step with the underlying currencies.

There are 9 possibilities of correlation (in the Strength-Weakness relationship), but before I list them, I must state that an understanding of the BASE currency (the FIRST pair listed in a currency combination) and the DIRECTION of the candles is an absolute MUST to understand strength and weakness. Strength is occurring in the BASE currency and is demonstrated by a candle moving UP. The opposite is true, as well, going down. This can cause some confusion when one sees the USD getting stronger against one currency and at the same time get weaker against the other (this is what happens when the GBPUSD moves more than say, the USDCHF. When the USD gets equally stronger against both the GBP and the CHF at the same time, the GBPCHF stays FLAT. It can be a bit confusing to fully grasp this when trading strength and weakness, but like anything, practice sharpens the skill. Taking 30 full minutes of fully observing this at a busy time in the market, will make the relationship with the cross clear. I's a good exercise for newer cross traders.

Example: GBPUSD candles moving up STRONG and USDCHF candles moving UP STRONG = GBPCHF moving up STRONG (Actually this means that the USD is getting weak against the GBP and at the same time the USD is getting strong against the CHF) Interpret: Candles on BOTH GBPUSD and USDCHF are moving up together strong = STRONG move up on GBPCHF (but, at almost 1.7:1 ratio!! GBPJPY doing this is almost a 2:1 ratio!)

The 9 Strength-Weakness Correlation positions:

1. GBP/USD Up and USD/CHF Up - Cross will move UP STRONG (Primary trade objective moves)
2. GBP/USD Down and USD/CHF Down - Cross will move DOWN STRONG (Primary trade objective moves)
3. GBP/USD Up and USD/CHF Down equally - Cross will REMAIN FLAT (Don’t trade these moves)
4. GBP/USD Down and USD/CHF Up equally - Cross will REMAIN FLAT (Don’t trade these moves)
5. GBP/USD Up and USD/CHF FLAT - Cross will move UP MODERATELY (Can bring decent profits)
6. GBP/USD FLAT and USD/CHF Up - Cross will move UP MODERATELY (Can bring decent profits)
7. GBP/USD Down and USD/CHF FLAT - Cross will move DOWN MODERATELY (Can bring decent profits)
8. GBP/USD FLAT and USD/CHF Down - Cross will move DOWN MODERATELY (Can bring decent profits)
9. GBP/USD FLAT and USD/CHF FLAT - Cross will remain FLAT (Market is undecided – leave alone)

Correlation trading like this is actually a type of Triangular Arbitrage, where we are exploiting the ineffieciencies of the market (completely legal and respectable) and knowing these 9 possibilities brings about a greater awareness of looking at two currencies and getting enough valid information to trade a third / cross currency.

Most people think that the crosses move on their own accord, with separate support and resistance, etc. like the underlying currencies. The crosses hit S and R when the underlying currencies do, not on their own! But it truly looks like the crosses are moving on their own accord a chart! This is the biggest understanding about crosses. If you sell this info, give me a nickle, OK?

I hope this articulates a few points of your discussion in this thread.

Keep your powder dry, Cheers!

Yes generally it takes few seconds but max very few minutes to update all pairs involved in the calculation. When all pairs have received their own first fresh tick for the new bar, the show will start!

Hi FerruFX - can you do me up a version of your indy that does what the CCfp indy does and put the values of currency changings in the Data Window? Having trouble with the original indy being used with an EA, so if you could output the values from your indy to the Data Window then I'll try again.

Thank you

If you want make an EA, the simpliest way is to use the original CCFp. My indicator doesn't have any buffer.

If you can code an EA, you are able to mod the CCFp for IBFX. Right?

OK here's attached my personal IBFXm compatible version.
