Just a place for me to post thought's, set up's and charts. After a good run but not satisfied with the set up and signals. I adapted and am very happy with this set up.


* NOTE* Opening up my journal to see how It goes and get some input from others. If you get off topic, cause trouble or start posting completely different set ups. I'll add you to my ignore list and you won't be able to post after that. Sorry but I'm going to try and still keep it on topic and controlled as much as possible.

*Final set up posted below*

*You may need to changed the Times around in the Market Zones to get everything aligned with you broker(or times you wish to trade). Times are set for myself

4pm-6pm PST 1 hour before threw 1 hour after JPY market open
10pm-2am PST 2 hours before threw 2 hours after London market open
6am-11am PST 1/2 hour after normal USD news threw 11am PST*

Was doing pretty good on the 1 hour and 4 hour, but I'm to hyper to sit for hours waiting on a entry signal and had a lot of trouble holding trades on those time frames....So I went back to my 1st love...Scalping the 1 min charts, in and out 10 to 30 pips at a time. I find it keeps me much more focused on my charts and I have been doing very very well with this set up. This is my own version of CD's FX Prime set up. Thanks CD for everything. I added the stoch to be able to keep re-entering a move. I moved here to my journal to find a little peace. This is not a set up for new traders, I will not be answering any questions on how to load mt4, install indicators etc. over time I will be posting my rules and misc. thoughts on how I trade this, but If your going to look and load my set up...up. Work out a few rules for yourself. I will also be posting a few charts and trades as I get time too.

I have been following the FXPrime thread, and had learned a lot from you. I am new to forex, arround 2 month only, and studying and learning a lot.

Id like to understand better your setup and also how do you use the Stosch indi in this setup.

BTW Id like to learn hogjer TF systems, so if you can recomend me any one that had worked for you Id be glad. I think that Newbies like me should start with higher TF while we get experience in scalping.

Congratulations for you results on this system.

results lol, yea last night was great. I banked over 500 pips, I didn't think the good trades would ever stop. The stoch on my set up is for me to get back in to a move and keep hitting it after a good CD set up. Humm higher time frames, James16 thread, auslanco's, bobokus, jacko's all great and if you read them all you will be a better trader for it. I have my own 4 hour and 1 hour set up. But will not be posting it, want to focus on the 1min. I'm making to many pips and having fun trading the 1 min. Good luck

This is what I have been trading and am doing very well with. I will be working on a set up and explanation of everything PDF this weekend and also a PDF on the big dog candles used and what they tell you. Also a PDF on the trading rules. Just wanted to post it in case anybody wanted to look it over. I use this set up to trade on the 1min and 5m charts. But it can be used on any time frame.

sorted out how to get indicator showing for the past...some one is laughing at me. ...lol.

Well, it's 3 long trades I took last Thursday. a beauty to me.

1. wait for trend (possible trend)
2. Looking for signal (CCI 0 break)
3. Entry at CCI 100 break where's enough power

lol this is the only trade...I MEAN only Trade that robin takes, he waits for this set up, takes it over and over and Because I do trade live with robin and he calls these trades live, I can tell you he has 200 to 400 pip days when markets moving and runs between 90% and even a few days 100% with this exact trade. over and over and over, he trades 1 set up, with exact rules.

it's ture, only trade 1 set up..only this one, very conservative way of trading.

well, as told by F4, scalping is scalping, so im happy with small sl and small tp..

Today was an adventure in air travel....2 inches of snow in Vancouver caused 2 hour delay and I missed connecting flight. Some quality time with daughter...so all is not lost.

Randy candles on my chart now....is interesting for sure. Too bad they chased the guy what was posting that trading metholodogy. He had lots of value to add.

Just closed +15 trade.

Cheers
