I've discovered the TudorGirl indy and mastertrend is all I need to enter a trade, maybe not even MasterTrend but gives a warm and fuzzy feeling.

The attached chart is all I am needed to make hundreds of pips a few hours before NY open.....

Hi All

Steve is right. As I said in post #81 where I posted the indy....

"Please find my bar indy attached. Nothing to adjust - everything is set to Paulus' optimised settings. I tried others but it fails. If you want an absolute MINIMAL install, you ONLY need this indy. The TrendMagic, BB MACD, LRSI etc are all inside. But it is kinda nice to see the indy's on the chart as well."

Please don't load down the charts with other stuff. It is too confusing/conflicting. It is nice to keep MagicTrend just cause its pretty, but ALL YOU NEED is the "TudorGirl" indy. All the other indicators are coded inside this one.

BTW, it is quite trivial to add alerts etc. I have written other indicators that:

- email me every hour with my trade status so I can log in from anywhere and see how I'm doing,

- email me when the colour changes and

- optionally, send me a SMS text to my phone via an SMS gateway I cooked up.

So once we have collectively decided how the rules work for ENTRY, EXIT, STOPLOSS, TARGET PROFIT, etc, we could put them all inside the indy, then basically trade from the beach!!

Anne

PS. I have actually traded from the beach before using my SMS system! I can just call my broker in London who puts the trade on my account. When I get home it shows up in the MT terminal window.

Hey guys
Nice looking and easy system you guys have here. As I see you are wondering about the SL and how to find a good way to have visual reference where to put it. For that I would recoment LabTrend indicator I use it now for some time and with great success. Btw I use it on 1 min.
Anne do you still have the back test results you did for 27 months? if yes is it possible to have them in excel format I would like to put it int a test in my frinds MM.

All,

I am trading 3 pairs. Here's my setup (posted as a zip to keep the hi res of the image) of the GJ H4.

The TG indy says it all but the MagicTrend looks so nice I keep it on the chart for sentimental reasons!

I don't think I've ever had a really profitable week since I started trading. But this week I am up over 1100 pips. I only do 0.1 lot on a £10K live account but the account is up 11% in a week. What can I say...

The attached chart is all I am needed to make hundreds of pips a few hours before NY open. Then market went into chop and I lost some trades but wins were far greater. I'm impressed with only small losses when the 1m signals against my trade and I close; then reenter with 1m signals again in agreement with 5m and 1h signal.

Steve
Steve,

Good work to all on this... seems very simple and effective. Was curious on exactly how you traded this today with the multitime frames. If you wouldn't mind sharing on the following:

1 hr indie red/blue and 5 min indie red/blue - do you enter your initial position on the 5 min, or drop to the 1min?

If you go to the 1min, usually it will be matching the 2 higher TFs. Do you then wait for a reverse to the opposite color and then back again to enter?

You indicated that you use the 1min to exit a position - is this when the indie goes to yellow, or do you wait for a complete color change? (red to blue, etc)

Thanks in advance, and again, good work to all.

Forgive me if this has already been answered...

.....

2) Do Trendmagic, BB_MACD or Laguerre repaint?

Many thanks!
Bob
A very belated answer to Bobcat's question....

BB MACD and Laguerre don't repaint. BUT TrendMagic DOES REPAINT!!!

See the attached (again zipped to preserve the hi-res image so you can see all the detail). I used an M1 chart as it is very obvious here.

If you look in detail at the code, the indy reserves the option to go back and retrospectively change its last bar. So it looks better on a historical chart that it behaves in forward trading. Be warned!

BUT.... In my "TudorGirl" indy, I have fixed this problem. My indy does NOT repaint. So while you can keep the original TrendMagic indy for comfort, please be aware of this problem.

yes, I notice TrendMaster repaints but your indy doesn't. Thank you so much!

Maelstrom:
I enter when 5m turns in agreement with 1h because 1h doesn't signal but once a day or every couple of days in a good trend and I usually miss it. There's no such thing as time frames anyway. There's only price I've been taught. So I'm reentering the 1h pullback when the 5m turns into agreement with 1h. The 1m can be used to enter if you miss the 5m signal and the 1m is turning into agreement but only if price hasn't moved too far. But I will enter on 5m if I'm there when it signals.

Exits are the hardest part of trading. Where do you want a stoploss close enough so you are glad your out of the trade without a disaster but far enough away so you didn't miss the move back into the winning direction? Its definitely a personal decision. I am still playing with this but am finding exiting when the 1m TRENDMASTER signals against my trade keeps me in a trend a long time and the loses have been smaller than the profits.

I have reentered after closing a trade when the 1m turns back around in agreement with the 5m and 1h . I lose some of the profit with 2 trades instead of holding one with more drawdown but risk is comfortable. How many times have you held a loser till panic set in and closed for a disaster? This may help avoid that. It will take more experience before I know.

Enjoying this method learning together from everyone.

Hi,

do you still trade the original set up on the 5m tf or do you follow the (1m)/5m/1h set up?

Hi
Nice thread. I have been making my trading too complicated and reading this thread has given me ideas + TG's indicator. You can pretty much get the same result as the TM using the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator set to 2,3,5.
Only color the up and down Kumo, trade when above or below the cloud. Is best to use HA candles which some people don't like but each his own.

regards all

pangufx..

I have taken bits of the RH system the biggest problem was you needed a prolonged trend to make pips..it often reversed when the signals was given as this was quite often quite a way into an established trend..

I believe you could make decent money from it though,but the draw down would be uncomfortable
