Trend magic not the answer I don't think. You could just as easily put on the HAMA indi (which is just a 21 ema coloured for up and down) or an 8 ema as hercs suggested on the first page.

Sorry hercs ended up being a very good suggestion, thanks.

I also dumped the trend Magic indy and am staying with the modified Hull MA

so far I've stayed with the default settings, but remember that I'm only using it as a "keep me in the move" type of indy and I give it less importance than the actual Price Action around "The Levels".....

Hi Royston
Many thanks on the TLv4, great stuff. I'm using that on 5 min chart as I've posted on the hl, lh thread. Is there any chance you could pop over there for a look http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...95#post2802795 .

Hi Mr V,
Here is Mrs V's warning sound alert. I looked through a few indicators with audio alerts in them, to see how they had been written, but that by robdee in the Force AudioAlert is head and shoulders above the rest. So, huge acknowledgements to robdee for the sound module, his code is so clean, it makes mine look like a plate of 3 day old spaghetti in comparison.

I have added a few things:

a visual element, so you can use it without sound, just by replacing the wav file with "". I use the attached wav files, given to me by a blind old Tibetan monk (well, it works for me, anyway....).

user ability to change the DelaySeconds parameter. If you have a long wav file, this prevents alert being fired again until the specified number of seconds has passed.

a previous bar parameter. Set to 0, this alerts on the current bar. This is what I use on the 1 min chart. Set to 1, this alerts on the previous bar, which is what you wanted to do on the 5 min chart.

I gave it all a spin this morning and it seems to work OK. Let me know if it does something it shouldn't.

Been in bed sick for literally a week, haven't been such a poor boy for years

.

With the hourly nicely down and the 5 min on a lh took this signal. A nice reject of even number. Happy to exit at 6250 for 38 pips, the 38% ext of y's low was just below. A nice first trade back.

Got to pop out now so may only trade after US news.

A nice trade from this morning. 5 min chart had a nice hl with a close just below the W Pivot, hesitated for 1 candle and then gave good signal on 1 min.

Very nice trade. Interesting to see how the 21 HAMA "gives you permission" to take a trade where the 5 ema shift 3 setup would not. I guess the rules are there as a type of compass, to remind you which way is North when all is foggy, and that as time goes on you adapt the rules to become less constricting. I suspect trading is also like hunting, (although I have never hunted). There are rules to follow:
Don't wear shiny objects.
Only approach from down wind
Don't wear strong perfume.
Don't step on noisy twigs etc
But even if you follow all the rules, you do not become a hunter. Because to be a good hunter, you need to get into the head of the thing you are hunting.

I like all my charts to be the same hence playing with the hama also on 1 min. Obviously the traffic lights still working in the background.

The major reason for the trade was the 5 min higher low, after that it was waiting for the 1 min to line up.

On a separate note I'm still trying to get into longer term trades and using hama on a 1 hour chart seems a nice place to start from, ie crossing of hama and riding until it crosses again. Almost being in trades continually.

Another style I'm looking at is 1 hr, 5 min and 1 min stoch all going in same direction, we;ll see what comes of these.

Just sold gu at 6565 exiting at target, daily pivot, for +36.

Gu has been a sell for most of day (under 5 min 21 ema/HAMA) and this prob a nice end to week for me.

I've added the latest templates that we are using onto page 1.

Changes to original set up, on 5 min chart general rule we want to be sellers only below HAMA (21 ema) and buyers only above HAMA.

We have added the hull ma onto the 1 min and that gives very early signals so you'd better be sure of your direction.

This gives a good idea from 5 min what we are looking for. Frankfurt hour was above the HAMA so only looking for buys, When London opened had a lower high and then below the HAMA the whole time, almost. From LO we were just looking for sells.

Brain,

There are 2 HAMa step histo files. The original is not very clear to read. The one I wrote is just a quick and dirty way to reference the data in the buffers of the original, and then presents it in a clearer fashion. So both files need to be in the experts>inidicators fodler.

The macd_cci file is the same as the original, but with a bigger square as a data point, because the original was made with a very very small square (why ??). To get 3 lines in one window, just drag the indicator into the same data window, and replace Barevl=5 with BarLvl =55 or 30 or another number. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and now I know. It just muddies the water IMHO.

Mr V - very nice trading. Still behind the curve, although I had a minor revelation. I took the cable long after the spike up, and got stopped when it turned into a lower high. Later, I read Islanders commentary, and realised, to use the hunting analogy, that if you are not the hunter, then you are the prey....... reminds me of the saying about poker. If you're playing poker and you don't know who the patsy is, then you are the patsy, lol...
