SWEEEET!!!!

Almost as good as the hit in the Detroit/Chicago series. Yours shows very nice momentum disruption (derailment). Other shows complete obliteration of an ammo train with a well layed charge. Wish I had the replay to send. Hard core hockey followers will know which hit I refer to though.

Regards.

Hey don't bring that up, I'm from Chicago!

As am I, but was still a wicked hit.

That is what happens when you lose focus and do not pay attention.

Ok...

In the image you can see my arrow indy modified...
It shows a arrow when momentum(4) and acceleration(1) are positive ore negative.

The formula is exactly the same as the TS formula for momentum strategy.

If Momentum is >0 and Acceleration(1 bar) is >0 then buy
If Momentum is <0 and Acceleration(1 bar) is <0
Hi Chris_B,

What are you using to measure acceleration? Nice work on the indi...

Best,
Lou

Thank you

Can't seem to get the hang of Renko blocks. Instead, lines every 10 pips with the "bomb meter" is proving to be profitable. Simple, no thought, 3 bombs of the same color, push the plunger, collect the pips.

Thanks again, Edgetrader.

As you can see it gives (in the past) a 100% profitability ONLY assuming to enter at the open of the brick where the arrow is...otherwise the hit rate is much lower...

The problem is that this type of conditions...
I gave your indicator a go. I noticed the arrow would appear and disappear. Should one wait for the candle to close?

Having some fun with good ole C4 scalping M1 (gu, gy) this afternoon.

13 trades. 11 out of 13. Losers were countertrend - don't need to fight the market. Besides that pretty simple stuff, trading with dominant trend, waiting for momentum, get in and get out. each trade very fast. barely any drawdown and none in most. most offered plus 5 but i was testing out a trade manager that didn't seem to work so closed trades out manually.

momentum will carry you forward. less is more.

Hi,

This morning I tried the Dx trade C4 nitro indicator and the pop up box was telling me buy and sell various currency pairs but when I checked them the arrows where not showing the same results. Has anyone experience the same thing, do I need to change the settings?

Thanks

Click the attachments icon and on the pop up on page 2 you'll see the Nitro-Momentum and IndexedMomentum indicators. You need them both but only put Nitro-Momentum on your chart.

I agree, that's why I spend half the year in Florida.

I looked in the attachments section. Maybe I got an old version? But it's only a day old, Mate.

True enough, Chicago winters suck - but, nothing like a Chicago summer!! ONe of the best places to be. Ok, back to forex.

I changed the colors and made the arrows bigger. But the "P" on the bomb meter has momentum so I don't know if I will need more indicators. Need to keep things simple as possible, Mate.

Is the train going faster or slowing down (acceleration)?

A simple idea. A second momentum with a period of 1 (blue) crossing the recommended momentum with a period of 4 (white).

Blue crossing white going up = faster.
Blue crossing white going down = slower.

It's probably not an entry or exit signal, but possibly an early warning?

It's 2:45 am in South Africa, so I'm off to bed and will leave extensive back testing and interpretation until tomorrow.

Hint: watch it with live prices. Visual back testing conceals the intra-brick PA.

[P.S. the second momentum, in this chart, is a standard momentum of the "close" not the momentum of the "data" of the first momentum, as previously suggested. The chart is a 10 tick Renko brick with wicks and the latest zero start and smScalper Candles set at 2,1,1,1,0. It has arrows from DXTrade and Chris.]

Short signal on "bomb meter" and Nitro-Momentum. However, the red train left the station before those signals and I was getting off the train with my 5 pips when the others were getting on.
