Sorry....I guess I am slow...My question was do you wait for the red or blue dot to appear (change of trend) and put your stop loss under or above its tail?.....Is there a better TF to trade it? Tha'ts all....

As of right now I have a blue dot on my CHFand it crossed over Red tail....I am thinking that means its in BUY mode now...EU has not changed yet....

Sorry...I do respect your help and am willing to look like an idiot to help my trading..thanks

I'm sorry for my lack of patience it's just that FF is one of the few places where you try to help people by posting an attachment only to be torn apart.

I use it as part of another method. When my weekly levels are hit I just need something to trigger a trade BUT at the same time if you watch it for a few days you'll be able to decide for yourself if you like it, if it will enhance your method or whether it is basically the same indie that you are using but with a different name.

The thing is, there is no holy grail indicator. No matter what you use will require some human intervention...IMHO. You have to watch and decide.

It is the same as the volty (with source) that I posted on the previous page.


Please post your indicator or post a chart. Prove your claims. You can alter the settings to make it more responsive at the expense of more whiplash but - as I said - the current settings are good for me as this indy acts as a trigger for longer term trades.
I changed my dots to yellow.

Above sell - Below Buy

Like I said with the code I can formulate a reason for the lag.

A channel within a channel...trippy. My game plan for the rest of today is to buy at the lower wall of the green channel or sell at the upper wall of the coral channel.

I'm all out with that last small scalp from 65 up to 85. It's Fed time now, and I have a rule that I have no open postions when they speak. Fortunes can be made or lost depending on how people interpret a phrase. I have been burned before----bad.

Gator and FX Petra, did you stick with the short trade from 1.4100 from yesterday or did you chicken it out?

Beer is on the house.
yeah i turned down the bs.. but it did pass my 68.2 (4108) mark but i was more concerned with where it closed.. my chart is based on a bigger time frame then most.. my top was 4099 on my big chart so i allow a bit of a cross. long wicks are part of it. my targets are the green lines but have a bias toward the lower one... and yes im still short. the smaller chart is based between green lines.. all my info is a little dated (pryer to nov. 2000/excluding candles) i dont change the rest..except to add moving (the move) pivots.. green lines are not exact ill have to do that with a caculator..but close enough to trade off. they are shorter term like weeks or a month.. there are other numbers.. but we are back in the same zone..center of this zone is 3888

shorter term numbers that are valid until broken are areas 4130 4100 4066 4044 4019 3990 3945

other groups 4354 4143 4013 3910 3804 3674 3465
4099 3938 3938 3888 3837 3775 3676

give or take a dozen on all the longer term numbers..

The forecast levels that I post may not contain price if that occurs the price bursts out of the given level giving me major loss. Therefore, I use the volty as a trigger. When a high level is hit I wait for the volty to signal short before I enter. After that point the volty ceases to be a variable in this type of trade. I hope this is clear.

I respect your thoughts...but this was another stop hunt by hedgefunds to stop out the longs below 1.4000. Once the stops triggered, the market cascaded on itself and the big boys had their 50 pip area of liquidity to make some money today. Frankfurt ran the top side stops above 1.4120, London to the downside below 1.4050, and now NY below 1.400. Where is the next batch of stops to provide liquidity? All the short timers have been taken out....in both directions.
I believe we are saying the same thing. You say "hunting stops" and I say "adding long positions". It is one and the same, often. By stealing someone's "long" trade at their SL (by manipulating a PA drive down, quick and far) these guys "transfer" someone else's "long" trade into their own account, hence "adding long positions". What they cannot steal in this manner, they get by coaxing others to go short during the manufactured drive down, while they themselves take the long side of those positions. Right?
