Quick question H1H1 do you use stochastics at all to determinie overbot oversold conditions when going for an IB. I have seen the stochs are good in a ranging market for determining or help determine the strength of the IB but in a trending market they can be decieving

If you read this, you may get confused. Entrys are 3 pips above and below to keep you out of headfakes.

Ranger, The only reason I use Stochs is to look for divergence, particularly on the Daily and the 4 Hr. When I see it I will show you what I mean.

LOL.... Perfect Example of 30 Min hidden divergence on the Swissy, and of course it went down.

I wanted to thank you for your patience and willingness to share your system, especially for us newbies

I too was having trouble displaying the pivot points on my charts but I figured out why. It defaults to the daily tf only so you have to change that in order to see them on the 30m tf.

Thanks again,

Ed

Hi all,

I have modified a dibs indi to show all inside bar.
Initially set to show only on TF M30.

Good Luck.

Lubo.
Thanks for sharing your indi Lubo however the trigger lines are drawing from the IB and not from the previous bar as H1H1 recommends. I know the dibs triggers from the IB on daily tf, can it be modified? Good indi for alerting IB's though, thanks again

Finally caught one. Looking back 25 hours ago there was a much larger drop, so I took this one to the downside also, justifying it by how far it had moved up over the day. Like a rubber band snapping back...

This mess of candles say this pair is going long for a bit.

Jim
(GBPUSD)

I have been chasing this pair (down) for over 24 hours now (not continuously watching the screen you understand...).

I was not truly using the IB system, although it did start out as an IB. I figured it for a short, using the daily chart, and traded it on that basis, though got my timing wrong. It's been almost in profit at least once, but is against me as we speak. I think it will eventually come good, but is hardly one of my better trades *sigh*.


Watching and learning (hopefully).


Regards,
M.

So many IB are setting up right now that I do not know which one to ride...E/U, G/U, G/Y...
Hope HH doesn't mind me chiming in on this--I posted part of it in another thread:

Sometimes you'll get several IB's in a session and you need to compare them. I know my account won't bear taking them all on an active session. I look at:

A) price up or down on the day (or as we call it here, The Trend of The Moment)
b) How far has each signalled pair moved during the session (I want the one moving the most)
c) What is the risk? (One of the most appealing aspects of this is low risk) Sometimes the Geppy bars are so long that you can't get a tight entry.
d) Since we're looking to take part off quickly, I consider the spread when comparing setups. I want to cover my risk by taking part off as quickly as possible.
e) What is the potential? Which pairs are ready to bump into resistance and which ones have room. With HH's method we're always aware of the smoothed 89 close and Daily Trendline.

If there are only a few setups I'm not quite as critical, but the more there are, the harder I compare. There are enough good setups that they don't need to be tweaked, e.g. That's almost an IB, or, I'm going long 'cuz it's almost up on the day, etc.

Hope this helps.

Well put Billflet,

I have been there lately taking the good IB'S but also the ones I say to myself, hmm close enough its only a tick or to outside so it seems good.... I was usually wrong!! So it helps to clarify that and yes there are enough setups in a given 24 hr period to trade. Anyways the words I live by now is the less amount of trades you make the more money you will make. It forces you to take the highest probability setups. Which since I am of a scalping mentality I feel sometimes if I dont trade every wiggle or every setup I am missing out. But after I do trade I say dam, I should have waited becuase now I lost money and then I get apprehensive for the real setup and sometimes not take it. So be patient and clearly identify your setup. Even if the setups good but the risk reward is not there dont take it. Do what makes you comfortable when your following the rules. The more I follow the rules the less stressful I am and the more I make. Good trading to all
