Still no original chart....straight from MT4....
Why go into all the trouble of using paint and special arrows etc.???
Remain confused and more suspicious??? .....Till proof is provided.
Sorry....
Facts as images in the original format..... is more convincing!
To post original trading charts or results is not possible...
Have you not learned that everything is only past & copy?

I have a question regarding the times Edge recommends to trade this method. My employment permits me to only catch the first hour of the New York session. I can get up early to trade London open though. If this is the only time I have, is it possible to trade this method profitably during 7-11 GMT?
It gives a simple method to identify Edge's trading time frames, or other favorable trading periods for each pair.

If you draw an ATR(21) with a SMA(34) as trigger, you can see that when the ATR cross the trigger line, the volatility decreases, and you are less exposed to price fluctuations!

You have a chart, and your trades are not indicated.
OK.

- You click the page "Account History"
- You take per drag & drop the line with your trade and drop in your chart - now appears the trading arrows!
To write the pips amount must you use the text paint function.

First off, the lesson plan for today requested chart shots from trading efforts. GOLD STARS to Chris B., DXTrade (15m), iansr1 and gutek04, and revrobwimb (Monday), TG and Roto7gl.

I just couldn't pass the opportunity of thanking Edge for this great method and trading concept. Thanks also for the other main contributors. Hopefully one day (not too far away) i will be in the position to help others with their trading skills.
All i can say about this post is AMEN.

Great job. I am quietly learning, testing and soon will start showing my results.

Greetings fellow traders, and a Hearty Thankyou to our Great Teacher Edgetrader !!!!! May the Pip Gods always smile upon him for his time and effort teaching us !!!!!

Please Find attached a Chart with my trades taken today from 7am to 11am EST which is 1100 to 1500 GMT. Green Vertical lines are + 10 wins and red lines are -20 losers. All in all there were 11 wins and 4 losses. 3 losses would have been prevented and converted into 3 Winners Had I waited and taken the signal 5 to 15 minuites after the reports were released. I Know better and should...
Very good charts and good you had some positive results.

As for fundamentals, I will trade around 5-10 after almost always. Is a bit shaky at times but the first 5 minutes seem most important. There are, imho, so many retail traders in the market these days that I do not see quite the volatility at news releases as that of the past. Might be wrong, but does not matter.

Take a look back at my last chart shot for today. You will see that I entered trades just after the news releases. That is pretty much the norm for me.

Regards.

Just finished reading this thread. Good stuff overall!

I have a question regarding the times Edge recommends to trade this method. My employment permits me to only catch the first hour of the New York session. I can get up early to trade London open though. If this is the only time I have, is it possible to trade this method profitably during 7-11 GMT?

Thank you for your advice,

That remains to be seen, however you do have the hour before and the hour after the U.S. session which is a pretty good time for volatility. I would give that a go for sure.

Wasnt saying anything about women at all. I am not on here to fight with you just do not want you to be jealous of someone else's sucess thats all. I have been trading for a while and it seems when someone demands proof from someone whom is just simply here to help and trade along with us it is out of jealousy. I hope you figure your trading out. I am sure with your education you will as well, you sound like your a smart analytical person and I am not here to get into a fight with anyone. I wish you the best for trading to all of our trading.

Ranger...
Thanks for your post even though your assumptions are many.
1. I am an experienced successful trader always looking to update my trading education. I recognise EDGE as one such trader .
2. No jealousy to someone elses success. Rather helping others to become sucessful.
3. The reason for asking clarification in the form of original charts from TG,
is because of this young intelligent PHD coming into the forex world promising the moon on public forums and no delivery is her past history in the last month or so. (ONE REPAINT INDICATOR which turns out to be solarwind)

There are many PhD graduates in the world female included. I am surprised by the attention given to ONE such trader (learner=newbie) because she can program indicators.

Her posts on the Trend Magic forum ended up being insulting to many other traders and gloating her DR. status. Then comes the private forum which has fizzled away????

I am an older person with life experiences from professional high standing to mother, wife, community helper, and challenges of fightening for life myself and still ALIVE (A blessing from above) I am spiritual and a humanitarian.

I hope you can see how incorrect your judgements and your many assumptions.

I have no interest to fight with you either. Just mind your own business when questions are directed to specific members and allow them to answer for themselves. Stop assuming !

I see many TG body guards on this forum which do not scare me in the least. Just their own insecurities showing up and if I may mention the MALE aggression coming through in their posts.

Hi to all,

I notice that some people is asking when is better to trade the Edge's system.

The reply to this question is in the first post of the thread, but if could help someone to trade in the right hours...i have made this indy that create a colored box in the hours that Edge suggests.

Just put it in the chart, select the GMT shift of your timezone (for example..in Italy now is +2), and select the background colors...

Trade only in those boxes...

Hope it helps...

Hey Chris .. very useful indy! Can you make one that shows the London open times (I have the Tokyo one) or can this one be modified (and do a save as) to adapt to UK and US trading times?
I will make note of this post as many keep asking about trading times, will be useful to refer them to your post.

You are spot on there Tex. But also look at the red Trix lobe previous to the ones you marked. The PA is making lower lows, but the Trix is making higher lows.

I know everyone thinks I have a load of secret, magical indys, but all I use is the Trix. It is just that it tells you more than just the zero crossing. You can estimate oscillation depth from lobe size, you can get into a turn earlier from divergence and so on.

Anne
While so many are taking sides and asking for proof of trades and all the other stuff, invaluable time is wasted that could be better utilized to study the one indi that holds the key to the mint.

Read everything you can find on this thing. Learn the capabilities and properties inside out. It is your partner for life if you will just look beneath the skin.

I can appreciate how some feel Anne might be playing some head games with you. I am neither promoting or defending Anne, she has offered to 'help' anyone who asks her. However, you need to ask the right question. Asking her to share her 'trix' material and her work with such is not her obligation. This public forum offers information FREE of charge to those who seek to use such in any manner deemed prudent. Still, that can be a burden as the more FREE information that is divulged, the more FREE information people believe they are entitled to. All of you fine folks know this.

Many of you are somewhat like 'sponges' and just want fed so much information so as to attempt to 'soak' up everything there is to know on trading this plan. As someone with a mathematics background, Anne has indeed done her due diligence here and has realized the potential of this little jewel. She has answered the questions repeatedly and with uniformity. USE THE TRIX AND A QUALIFIER AND TRADE IT!!!!

Swingman has provided enough variations of this thing so that anybody should be able to see the possibilities. Many of you have already initiated trading using some variation of such, and yet the search for the ultimate indi goes on.

Well, I set forth the challenge and am already seeing other indi's start to be mentioned. As in the first posting, it is time to proof up ANY indi you submit from this point on. That means you need to have traded the damn thing, and it needs to be validated by outperforming the TRIX. Anything else is pure folley. There is a difference in setting forth an indi such as the Trix MTF, which is not an indi that needs proofing. It is an indi that 'augments' directly that which we already use. By contrast, throwing other MA's out there and saying it works just as well is nothing more than words. Show me 50 trades on your charts to proof it up and it is a done deal. Otherwise, you only confuse and disrupt the focus here, which is on trading, not indi development and testing.

Again, the signature to my avatar is the key to the door that will finally help you reach that 'golden carrot' I have seen referred in subsequent postings to the one isolated here. You have already been provided the key, it has many different teeth all capable of unlocking the vault.

You must trade to progress with this and time is not your friend.

Have fun with it but please, USE IT!

Regards to ALL.
