O.k. many thanks to those who pointed me to the website.

I registered with electrolegal.com and logged in. And when I click on "Chat" (upper left button) it responds with "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria" like it was doing a search.

I set this all up after market closed so maybe the chat connection is shut down for the day? Anyone else run into this?

I think donations are a great idea. We donate to a local PADS center here in Chicago. They feed the homeless in our area and give them a place to sleep. I really like giving to groups that produce tangible results and help people in my community.

Happy holidays to all,
Sandy

This is all brand new Sandy. Plus it is Xmas. The forum is working. I think that we need to give it a few days.

There is also a TK post a few ago saying that there are troubles.

I've been having problems regarding the alert indicator as well. I found that the last setting ArrowPlace in tkpower8_ATM_edition2 was set at 80! This meant on my lil 19 inch tft, the arrows were off the chart even at maximum out zoom on the 1 minute. However setting it to a lower number 5-30, brings them in closer. The only problem is that some arrows are in the right place backtesting, others are 1 to 2 bars out of place. Arrows appear to get easily displaced in my setup too. How are the arrow alerts for everyone else?

Hey deepblue - I've noticed sometimes the arrows get displaced as well at odd times (usually after I compile). Try manually deleteing the indicator and then re-attaching it. That should work.

As for the arrows being 1 or 2 bars out of place - could you post a screen shot (and include the pair, time and date) so I can review it. Thanks!

I wanted to mention one other thing about the alerts.

Please remember that based on TK's rules, potential trades are reviewed in real time, not upon a candle closing. Here's a cut and paste note I sent to TK to describe the situation and answer a few things about real time alerts:

"When you first put the indicator on the chart it goes ahead and looks at the past candles and applies the logic to determine and show proper signals. All past candles are "locked" in place so there is no live, real-time forming issues. Once the indicator is on the chart and quotes start coming in the indicator will look to see if all conditions are met at that extact tick at that point in time. So let's say we are 30 seconds into a new candle and price is moving along and all indicators are indicating a buy execpt the 21SMA. The 21 SMA is currently showing that right now the slope is exactly the same as the previous candle. So now we are 45 seconds into the candle and there is a buy frenzy and price moves up 20 pips. At this point the slope of the 21SMA moves up and all conditions are satisfied at the time of that tick. The alert goes off and an up arrow prints on the screen. Now let's say 100 seconds into our candle the bears take control and drop price 35pips. The 21SMA drops lower than the previous candle and now the candle closes. If you are not at your computer when this happens, you might come back and see that signal and think that the indicator is giving false entries. It's not, it's just reflecting the exact reality during any one tick - just as you would read the info in real time if you were watching all the info coming in tick by tick. It makes it even more confusing when you reload the indicator and that up arrow vanishes."

Hope that helps with any confusion...

Hi. I need help I can't open pdf files from post 1.

I am using Acrobat reader 5.0. And when I try to open or open saved files it gives me message “There was an error opening the document. This viewer cannot decrypt the document.”

Should I look for new version of reader or this is the problem with files itself?
If files corrupted I’d appreciate if someone can reload manuals in his post.

Re-loading the indicator seems to have solved all the issues, thanks for response. No point in showing the errors now because it must have been a fluke occurence of loading things in a wrong order. Thats MT4 for you I guess. Thanks for all your efforts mikep, very much appreciated.

First I hope you all had a great Xmas eve and day. My heads a bit of a mess today but I am tinkering around with the site and just read the last couple of pages here.

About the M3 and M8:

I see some are scepticle and I welcome any thoughts, just to clarify mine though.

M3 = odd number, M2 = even number,
this by itself = entries that the M2 just missed are caught on M3.

M5 will do the same job and works a treat so if you perfer, use M5 and not M3, simple SL will be slightly bigger.

M8 = beta test, never before used, something I started watching recently. I do NOT trade the M8 by itself but I DO feel that candle eating candle represents the overpowering of one color to the other no matter what the timeframe. This for me means that I do not care how many, if any, traders are reacting to the tmeframe because it shimply is showing me who is overpowering who. Finally when all the SMA's line up it usually sets up an amazing trade.

Anyone who wishes to remain with the masses, I highly reccommend M2, M5 and M15 as your 3 timeframes. I used this combo months ago and it is great, I just wanted to speed some trades up which is why I have gone to M2,M3 and M8

With regards to the arrow indicator; MINE IS SETUP FOR A 5 DECIMAL POINT BROKER, you will have to change the "arrow place" variable. Mine is set to 50 for it to be 5 pips, if the arrows are off your chart then you must have a 4 decimal point broker so you will need to remove the extra 0 and make it 5

Finally; I have a free chat room setup, its free so it came with ads, if I notice lots of interest I will pay for a proper one with whiteboard and other features but untill then this will do. The forum works but whenever you need to enter a text field (ie username, password, topic) you must click on the very left edge of the box, I don't know why and cannot figure it out, I have searched the internet but cannot find anyone else who had this problem. I'll keep searching but for now it does work, you just need to be exactly on the left edge of any text field box

I forgot to include the extra period converters in the ED2.zip so that you will have the M3 and M8 available, this is why some of you couldn't find them. My bad, re-dowload the ED2.zip file and then reload your atm-m1-ed2.tpl and everything should now work fine

Surprised only one arrow appeared here

Can you explain why please?

I tried resetting the 8 sma to 15, 20 - not much different...
I thought backing off the threshold would switch on more arrows?

This is being worked on, the new version goes back to simplicity.

There will be no Triple Stoch, just simply an arrow at every candle eats candle when there is a rising/declining 8 and/or 21 sma with angle settings for each.

Not sure why I bothered trying to include the indicators in the first place.

It will not have the 3-5 bar pullback or touching at least the 8sma rules. This should signal you to all likely candle eats candle setups, at which point you use your brain indicator to agree or not.

Another point would be that you do not need these arrows at all if you are watching, I have taken a liking to it for those times I get distracted and miss trades.

Hey TK, I'll be focussing on Ed. 1 for now but I like what you've said here on Ed. 2. Use the "brain indicator". I think using the arrows to "get your attention" is a better use of an indi in a system that uses PA.

btw. do you have that money management page worked up, yet?

Thanks!!!

I made the money management page back when I started forex and was using the H4 timeframe, its based on 70-100pip SL due to the larger timeframe and longer trades I was doing. I will have to rework it based on a maximum 40pip SL which techincally will make the plan less than 66 weeks but the target amount the same. It should end up being the $1million 1 year plan, or pretty close at least.

Anyway that said, give me till next week and I will have it up at my website and the forum.

That sounds perfect to me. No harm in having an arrow to indicate an 'eating' with an optional audible alarm.

The final decision is then the user's.

Excellent.

Hi everyone,

Happy holidays to all of you...

Im having a tech question here. I have placed all indis of 'experienced' profile in the right place, everything works just fine, all bear red arrows displaying correctly.... but I've got NO bull arrow at all !!! I have installed it in 4 diferent crosses and got the same problem. Everything works fine, all the bears are there, but not ONE single bull arrow all over 4 diferent charts.....

Is it possible we didnt have any bull valid signal on eurjpy, gbpusd, eurusd and usdjpy at all ???? I scrool the M2 charts back as far as I can and I see lots of good bear red arrows...but not a single bull....

Anyone have a clue ???

Cheers,
