Yeah, I agree. It must be tough for you as an experienced "oldie" trader to see a 6-week newbie come along and out-trade the forum.

You have my sympathy.

Ian,

My point entirely!! If someone with TG's superb coding abilities didn't have an EA brewing for such a simple, mechanical system, I would be disappointed!

CB
You maybe disappointed but not me.... EA's not my world.....

Mechanical system...... not in my view...... trader's discretion the secret ingredient......

Reminds me of my sister's 4th of July party were her grandson about 7, was out gunning the "oldie", game players from the pac-man era game days guys, 40 & up to even one guy who had just entered college, on a x-box 360 call-off-duty game.
So that was kinda in the back of my mind, what if he could apply that quickness to forex market? He knew almost every map like the back of his hand and could and would sneak up on you in a manner of seconds and snip you down before you knew what happened. Even scaling top of buildings to get a better shot at...
Sympathy is not required...... Commonsense and more maturity will be paradise from some of these posts.....

What an amusing thread......comedy rather than trading HA! HA!

Irathi,

I am interested in your use of MegaTrend in place of LWMA 12. It looks interesting and earlier to signal but does it re-paint. I ask because I know it is a HULL MA, and MLaden wrote a non-repainting version of HULL MA over on TSD.

Regards,

Paul.

I think it is one of best ideas that exist.

What we need is an indicator like HG0001 with TFs M5, M15, H1, and H4, but this in the next weeks when Edge aprove us to use such an indicator...
Swingman,

Isn't there already a MTF version of HG0001 which repaints?

Is HG0001 a combination of MACD and CCI? If so, I think there is already a MTF version of MACDCCI indicator which doesn't repaint.

Regards,

Paul.

Repainting is not a big problem in real trading. Price also repaints - goes up and down.

P.S. I lost my patience and entered long EURJPY... Hate waiting too long

I took both these screenies at the same time about 10 minutes ago.

Way to go, Edge!!!

Anyway, I got a kick out of it.
Don't get me wrong, they are both great strategies, but I'm impressed.
And for the record, I'm testing the C4 currently.

It was quite correct to ignore it as it was ranging. My aim is to have one trade per pair every day. Now I have had all besides EJ, that is why I entered as soon as saw a chance.

Stav01 : Megatrend as far as I know does not repaint. I find some define repaint as changing colour on an open candle while others define repaint after candle close.

I define repaint after candle close. Megatrend aka HULL MA,Slope Direction LIne, execute line(IGROID) is used by many a sucessful trader.

Please test yourself too.

I mentioned it as a suggestion but this is not the original strategy from post#1. To respect EDGE.... please discuss alternatives off the thread(PM)

C4 is simple but powerful.

The bells and whistles added by Swingman to date and making it MTF dashboard will be more powerful.

Knowing Swingman and he knows my style of trading I think this strategy is also heading that way too. Some posts today are showing this development.

My basic trading sytle is of higher TF participation, KISS, and using trader's discretion at key S&R . Divergence is in my toolbox .No EA covers all market conditions.

Please read if interested some dashboard MTF work also done by Swingman

I see a hint of something similar for C4 in the future.

Hi Nick'em,
In a way there is news for E/J. That is because it is not a Major thus it is really E/U * U/J . Hence since there is US news, this will effect E/J.

Please ignore if teaching granny to suck eggs.

It's hard sometimes to get +10
But eventually Euro made it (was a buy)

I use the Coral from the THV thread for the trend together with the ToR and if price is above I only go long...
Hello DXtrade,

My first posting in FF.
Can you share your template en coral indicator please?

Thanks

Should look at upper TF Trixes and the overall trend - all our pairs are going north today.

P.S. I set my TP for EU at 1.4132. Hope, it has the power to get it
And TP for EJ is as ambitious as 132.88

Hi Terri,
Why did you enter the short? The TM and the Trix were flat as a pancake for ages before this - that is a big no-no to me.
I waited for some sign of life the trix, then entered long - still open , so may be a losing trade.

To my mind, trading at M5 timeframe is more based on instincts than rational thinking. That is why I prefer indicators that are very clear visually - green, green, green, GO. All indicators that contain numbers and need some thinking belong to upper timeframes starting with even H4
Matter of taste, of course.

Guys,

I have a problem with smSuperTRIX_MTF_v1 indicator. All time I have only an empty indicator window without trix...
Well, I have set MTF for 15 min (my actual EU window is TF 5min), visualisation - all timeframes etc, etc but TrixMTF draws nothing. What is wrong ?
