Edge, SwingMan et al,

I tend to rely (on demo) on TM (10, 20) and smFisherTransform3nr (12).. could it be the best of both pips world !?
IMHO
Best regards
So many indi's with so many names.

I'm new to scalping. It seems like your instructions are intended for automated software. Are they intended for a particular application?

Can you point me to a description of how to do C4 scalping using the typical indicators in manual charting software such as are available with demo accounts?

Personally, I run an automated ea on the TS8 with similar presets as those promoted within this thread.

As for bread and butter indi's in a demo account, the 12 WMA is one, HA candles another and MACD set at 5,13,1 is a tolerable substitute for the Trix used here. Throw those indi's on a 5m chart and compare it to any here and it will be close enough I would think.

I posted it on trendmagic thread before with a side by side screen shot, it show about exact same entry or trigger as the trix 0 cross when used on a 7 min chart.
You might have to ask Swingman or TG about the math/science behind it though, but gives about the same signal anyway.

OK, just to show there is no ill-feeling towards the yen crosses and to satisfy myself I can watch more than one chart at once I tried the EURJPY. Bagged another +50.

Note the last trade didn't hit TP. I closed manually at 1854GMT (1954 my time) as it is almost 8pm and time for dinner!!!

Total for the day somewhere in excess of +200 pips.

Anne,

Congratulations for the results... really amazing!!! Can you tell me what are you using as primer and trigger,TP,SL setups? I believe this was on a 5min TF?

Thanks,

Only loser I had today was a trade I got in late on because I was interrupted, but made the trade anyway, out of being peeved that I was just about to pull the trigger, and was interrupted. I know the lesson of never making a trade out of anger, or missing the bus, but did it anyway. Going for 10 pips, and if the pair keeps going on without me, that's fine. Used to go for a lot more & wound up worse for the wear. As Dr. Phil would ask "How's that working for you?", and it wasn't. When all signals are go on a 15 minute chart, I can just make the...
Would you be willing to share a copy of his newest trix? And also, why is it better?

Please read my posts of today for full details. All your questions have already been answered. Trig/Det is 12LWMA and Trix{3}. TFs are M5 and H1. All trades on GU except 2 on EJ.

I could post a GU chart but I have a sneaking suspicion it will look rather similar to everyone else's....

Two schools of thought here.

1 - 'Doc' (Anne) is targeting the 1H, as she has mentioned on several occasions, due to the fact she has a relatively busy schedule and the general aspect of such suit her lifestyle better than a scalping methodology. She has already mentioned a few times that her primer and trigger are almost identical to that which we have in place here. You can read her postings and derive that info pretty easily. She may simply be providing an bit of insight as to the possibilities you can have after you learn to be proficient with the signals and this is also 'assuming' you have adequate capital to trade a 1H chart.

2 - She may simply be probing the masses initially reading this thread and ascertaining just how many are here to challenge themselves to be a tad better at trading. It has already been established that the primers and detonators held within this thread are versatile enough to serve on ANY TF. That was stated from the beginning. That said, if you have an extra 30-40k to begin trading the 1H 'for a living' then all your problems are solved. Simply trade one of the signal setups you choose, use some manner of decent MM and you will not have to trade more than six months. That is if you have the mental strength to handle 50-100 pip swings at a minimum. Remember, she is also well aware of the 'less is more' trading concept so it is a bit of a challenge to ascertain her actual motives in a couple of her postings.

However, they are stimulating to say the least and I highly doubt she will be 'baited' into having to proof up her brokers trade statements with charts and rationale behind her trades. How many time s have any of us seen this kind of thing happen in a thread.

Better to focus on the task at hand imho.

'Do ONE thing, DO IT RIGHT, then move on'. As always, will leave thread direction up to those who read and follow such.

Have a good afternoon / evening. Pool Time!

Regards.

TudorGirl, what really strange is that you always taking different
lot sizes it more looks like EA than manual, though. Also could
you please share what is your TF 5 min? 15 min? 1 H? for most of
the trades? And why lot sizes are different, is that depends on what?

Thanks.

I am not sure it is all that much better than the original. Just happens to trigger a bit earlier at times but 'SM' has put the time and effort into it for us to benefit. It is not the same Trix I use for my own personal trading efforts, but for an MT$ platform and the methodology incompassed within this thread it serves very well as a detonator.

Default settings are fine.

Edge has already re-posted it. I like it because it's prettier!!
Seriously, though, it gives an arrow, and it gives a pop up. Very convenient when I'm doing something other than staring at the screen. As I have to do paper work and answer the phone here for my regular job, I need a good visual. I love colors and arrows and alerts.

When Isambard Kingdom Brunel built the Tamar Rail Bridge linking England to Cornwall across the wide expanse of the Tamar River, he wanted to be sure that the bridge would not fail. So he ordered some iron girders and placed the heaviest locomotives in existence on them. If they bent, he ordered thicker girders. When the girders stopped bending, he was happy.

He then ordered girders 20 TIME THE SIZE for the bridge. That is a safely factor so astronomical that costs would prohibit it today. It was only possible at the height of an Empire that ruled the known world.

Other bridges have come and gone. But his bridge, now 160 years old, has only every required the replacement of 5 rivets and the odd coat of paint.

Are you getting my point?

I am just stress testing the system to see when it will fail. Same as we do for the Space Shuttle. Far better it fail in Florida than in orbit.

We don't want our trading to fail when we go live. So if we can take 200 pips, we can sure take 50.

If you would rather I did not not post results, I am very happy not to do so.

Probably not much if your a swing trader, but did have a broker that kills accounts with giant whipsaws and margin calls, so always looking for a better broker. Finding a good trading system's only half the battle in my book finding a broker you can trust is the other half.
You were indeed blessed to have found a good broker on the 1st try, if that be the case. I looked for one about two weeks reading review sites, but had to settle on my 2nd choice because of funding options.
Maybe not the right thread to discuss brokers unless Edge wants to share his broker experiences.
Thanks again....

Renko 5-pip bar (almost equivalent to M5) and H1 plain candles.

Lot size a simple function of ATR and desired risk.

TudorGirl: as I do see your SL's are 10 pips am I right ? I am thinking that I should be closing my position only if I would be seeing the different color finished in TRIX.
