i don't use the RADs only normal Candles

i follow F4 Style just my CCI's are 88/22 and testing 77/22

for the Guppys some use 12/25 or 34/55 (i put 33/55 easier to remember lol )

I use the rad but with these settings....I attached my version. I'm looking at it as a fresh hourly open line, used like the daily open line. not only as support/resistance, but in looking back on my chart, it shows the last hours range and direction of market

Hey guys, thanks for all the help. Good to know others take on this hourly line.
I can see how it could be an advantage to have this in the toolbox!
You guys do a great service on here.

Happy Pippin!

Hey Max, got the attachment. Yes, this can't much simpler than that!

Question about your cci's parameters. I notice there's alot of difference between what alot of traders use, ie; 88/22, 79/21, 89/21, etc....

Any particular reason why you're ar 88/22? and the guppys are at 12/25?

thanks for letting me pick your brain btw!

Well like i said i like it simple and that also means simple to remember lol !!

and between 89/24 & 88/22 or 79/24 or 77/22 there is no difference

The settings don't really matter much as max stated. in looking over all the settings a good signal is still signaled with in a bar of each other and 75% of the time good moves are signaled all at the same time with any of those settings. I looked for a fast enough entry CCI and slow enough trend CCI to give good signals while filtering out bad signals well. While not making the entry CCI to messy and fast, but the trend CCI can't be to fast to not signal a trend, but also because of how were using it for scalping, not too slow to take away some of our trend change trades.

Max I wish I could edit the write up you posted on my entries. I wanted to add to it. But I'm to busy/lazy right now to produce my own. I'll get around to it soon, I hope

i can send you my Word document ? if you want ?

i just took a screenshot of the fx50 guide that i re-edited again making it more simple to understand and i just put your settings without the randy candles

for the CCI, i tested 55/22, was giving signals to fast and reversing = false signals so was nt good, and 170/34 wasnt to bad but i find it was to long the take a trade, since im impatient i hate waiting, i like it quicker so i find the settings we have is right in the sweet spot for scalping

hi f4,

thanks for all your experience shared, today i took 2 trades in euro, the first one vertical line which was clean and easy but in the second one long i hesitated to close as the yellow line was crossing back the 30sma, how would you have handled it?, also in a big circle another messy trade, how would you hold them or exit them?

Sorry no trades for me . very busy with my boys and girlfriend...they always come 1st before trading. I'll be back on tonight. I have a new set up that will record my trades as a video, but I haven't figured it out just yet. This may be a nice thing if I can do 2 things at the same time lol.
