well F4 i dont know about you but EA's for SL or TP with Trailing n Close half and stuff like that is not for 1m scalping hehe !!! just an EA or Script to set a certain SL or TP to enforce a certain Rule only

But it will be perfect foor 5min TF's and over not for 1 min to noisy
Don't forget Practice + Patience + Persistence = Profits

I'd just like to say, WOW! You all have a great little community of traders here and hats off to all of you that contribute and put in so much work and effort to build your indicators!
I happened to "stumble" onto this page by accident, and am VERY glad I did!
I've been trading for a very short 1.5 yrs now, so still a noobee!!
Keep up the good work!

Watching from the sidelines,
LD

Also, for current purposes, I'm attaching a pic of today's e/u action onthe M5 chart.
Just want to make sure I'm looking at the right spots for entry on the charts.
Pretty easy to "back test" and see all kinds of woulda, coulda, shoulda's! LOL

Thanks again for any help!

see the black line on the dual cci, part of my entry rules(30 sma). I need a cross of it and the zero line. depending on the set up, either one can happen 1st. so the 2 longs are good. also the best bounce entry(price bounce off the 34/55 guppy's) is when the trend cci is over the 100 level

you missing a few things. starting on 1st entry on left, Trend cci does not support the trade, I only enter longs with a price open above the 10sma, and your below the 2 guppy's also. 2nd entry, I would have waited for a price open below the 10sma and the guppys

here's a 5m jpy chart and a few entries I would be looking to take. I like the 1st double cross, price below daily open, price open below 10sma/ 34/55 guppy's. other green lines are trade able but I like a cleaner bounce trade entry on those. last entry trade able but less than perfect

This Helps TREMENDOUSLY!!, HOwever, just an obersavtion:
The 30SMA is well abovce the "zero" line on the dbl cci?....I'm thinking that you entered here because of the "cross" of this 30SMA and the trend(yellow line) a bit earlier in the game?

Also, for anyone's reference:
I set the "zero line cross" in the parameters to alert.

Thanks Again and HAPPY PIPPIN!

FX4( or any of you that run the same template)
Have you had issues in the past with pivot lines in the template you set up??
I've attached a pic to show you what I mean
There are only a few on there now, but they seem to "grow"!!
as time goes by!
Not sure why they do it on spotgold, but thats the only "pair" it seems to affect?....
I'm sure there's a simple reason, but have yet to find it!!!

hi.
i would like to ask u about the green arrow u have on the chart of ur first post , is it a valid long entry ? i remember it was like we should have the cci green above 0 and the yellow line coming from below 0 and crossing the green cci to have a valid signal.
please if u have a modified version than the original , could u please post your rules.

thanks

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....

G'day F4. Been watching this thread for the past week or so and finding it quite interesting. Seeing that my quest to trade purely off price action doesn't seem to be suited to my artistic brain that demands colour, thought I'd move back to some indicators I was using previously, one of them being CCI. I like your setup, and I'd appreciate it if you could confirm this for me.

Long entry:
Candle above 10sma, but below two guppys.
Yellow CCi line in dual CCi indicator crosses above the 30 sma, and crosses 100. (Is there a preference for the brownish CCi line position?)
If the above is happening, enter a long.

Short entry:
Candle below 10sma, but above two guppys (does it matter what colour they are?).
Yellow CCI line in dual CCI indi corsses below 30 sma, and crosses -100.
If this happens, enter a short.

Exit?? Don't have a clue. A cross of the 10sma? You may have mentioned it but I probably missed it.

My personal stop loss uncle point is 10 pips, which I'm sure is fine trading 1 minute using this strategy.

Many thanks for your time.

With my above question in mind, I presume I would have gone short at the green rectangular box in this pic? I did, and took 8 pips, but I would like to know if it was the right entry for this setup in your mind.

Many thanks.
