FX,

Thats a nice trade setup. I would have done the following which is my standard format for all trades I take. Enter trade and TP 50% at 10 pips, 30% at 20 pips and then set the stop to BE and let the rest ride. In the case of this trade I would have moved my stop uder the support at 2905 once that candle closed as shown in your chart above. Not knwing the future this is exaclty what I did for that trade which started at 1:20 gmt during the Asian session. I have taken your chart and made some changes and have posted it below to illustrate what...
Thank you for your feedback .... right now i'm somewhere between advanced and expert and really appreciate how the force trains your eyes for price action. Thanks again, FX_Discipulo

Robdee,

I tried to use the Updatestops. But it does not showup on chart when I import the EA. Please check or let me know if I made any mistake.
Thanks for all your input.

Kazal - welcome to The Force.

Please follow all instructions in post 2031.

The most common mistake is putting the UpdateStops.mq4 file in the wrong folder.

If 'UpdateStops' does not appear in the Navigator window then there is no way to attach it to your chart.

If you can see it and are trying to attach it then go look at the messages in the Experts tab of the terminal window. This will tell you about any loading errors. RD

I have not been able to enter the chat room. When I try the force.appruv.com link, I end up in a site called CakePHP. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

Today's market showed us another good series of waves for 'Force' surfing.

06:50 buy TL bounce from an existing TL
08:50 sell London's double top reject
10:50 sell TL break (failed)
11:30 sell TL break (success)
12:40 buy 38 fibo bounce
14:10 sell 'prior support now resistance' reject
15:00 sell bear continuation
16:00 buy 79 fibo bounce

Lesson I learned...
Medium targets +20 +40 worked well for countertrend buy trades.
Hoping for a bear runner I didn't close sell trades at +40.
The big runner didn't happen so it would have been more profitable to have used +20 +40 targets for my sell trades after all.

Purpose of the system is to train eyes and mind to understand price action intuitively.

My experience was 4 weeks full time basic signals only on s/r before I understood this purpose.

Hi guys i wondered if someone could help, i am a total novice at this and i am trying to setup my charts to use the Force system. When i set the MACD to 12,26,1 i just get a straight line so i have left it at 12,26,9? I have set my Stochastic to 5,3,3 and EMA 5 to close and open.
Just looking at my charts over the last couple of days i have noticed loads of possible trades when the “EMA close” and “EMA open” cross but some of them cross back again almost straight away resulting in a failed trade. Also i am finding that most of the time when the EMA lines cross up the MACD and Stochastics are going up as well giving a trade signal and the same when they cross down, not sure if this is right or not?
Again i am very new to this so am probably missing something or i have my chart setup incorrectly. Please can anyone point me in the right direction as i really want to give this system a run.
Thanks in advance.
