Is anyone else seeing the smtrix and color ventana repainting? I am not sure if I am going crazy or what, but when I go back to see where I got into my trades, the colors aren't there like when I entered. The rules are pretty clear, but my entries and exits aren't matching the colors I am seeing on the indies after the fact. Should I wait a little longer before entering?

Thanks,
Terri
They paint ONLY on the current candle. Many will have 'itchy' trigger fingers to begin with. It is only the first day, lets see if we can let a move develop a bit longer. As many of you have seen in the past, I might miss the 'perfect' entry by 5 minutes and still get TP goal. Be patient.

Also, show the trades so we can see whay you mean.

Regards.

That's exactly what I'm talking about.. those charts getting
colors 2-5 minutes later (if the trade goes the right way),
after the fact. Possibly on 1hour TM could be different, but
5 m TM? You have to guess what is the next move.

We are headed for 'indi'envy' again without doing at least some homework on an indi.

Regards.
You are right Edge!

I think we have to concentrate on the original setup....for some days....and see the results..
Market is like a puzzle, YOU have to fit the pieces!!

GU going nuts today ..

Hmm .. your comment about 'did Trix change?' I will have to check, I think it just was starting to change but candle had not finished, I was down over 25 pips and it looked like it still had strong upward momentum so I bailed.
I think a big part of this is learning to trust the system .. and that will take some practice, which is why we are all here

Here are ToR, Trade Assistant and Trend Friend. All these have some versions but I have chosen these.
General idea is:
ToR gives us information if market is ranging or trending;
Trade Assistant is for ranging markets;
Trend Friend is for trending markets.
Author is a guy who calls himself nittany1. And for more information start reading from http://www.forex-tsd.com/indicators-metatrader-4/8022-tor-1-02-trending-ranging.html.

Edge, I have not tested these. And if you find that I should not post them in this stage - just tell me and I remove them.
Others - please, let us not start discussing these. Who is interested, please read yourself using the link above.

No but looks like I should have been!

Been wasting too much time with the schizophrenic GU today....

You see, what I notice is that people want big moves. That does not always happen in FX. I took about seven trades and losed two this morning. That gives me a net of 50 pips already this morning. However, if I was going for a 25 or 50 pip move, I could have lossed about 70 pips net.

That makes a big difference.

Yep, this is why we scan multiple pairs looking for good PA to trade. EU has been crap quite a bit today also.

In this thread we are all going for 5-10 pips per trade. Read the first post.

Nice EU +10. Worth a post. Take note of primer, detonator, plunger. 2 detonators at the bottom but only used one.

Everyone take a deep breath. It is only the first day and we have only accomplished seat assaignments at best. Took me almost a year to get a decent feel for trading this thing. As smart as you folks are, it will not take as long.

However, it will indeed take more than a day! Am seeing alot of activity reviewing the thread today. Tomorrow will be less as many of the holy grail seekers will move on. Usual thread progression stuff here.

Regards.

5 to 10 pips sounds great to me. I remember one time turning $500.00 into $1000.00 in just one week taking 5 pips winners only.

I think Max was hinting at going for less pips, but, that there are some who put little value on such a paltry amount and seek more. Just a guess though.

3 trades, only on EY, and am done. Nice and easy. My entries are marked, and the tp was automatically set to 10pips. vertical line is where us session started.

Happy trading to all.

Cheers,

Well in retrospect I see all kinds of good trades, but managed to miss them all and went the wrong way on GU and EU twice.
In retrospect, I was backing the wrong horses today .. EJ and AU had higher probability & less schizophrenia.

Tomorrow is another day .. glad to see that quite a few made their daily pip quota, though!
