Hi All,

Target hit but without me. I got out at even when it missed target by 2 pips and reversed.

I understand the setup and the entry signal. But where is the initial stop and the target for these trades?

Hi andrewb7
How are your results
I watch the london open/close and although more volitile
than the asian it does seem to give good results (respect to harold4x)
I am still demoing since jan09.

Hi guys,

If I search through the attachments list (ie. paper clip), is there a way to go directly to the related post (to which the attachment was originally made), so that I can read the background to the attachment?

At the moment, all I seem to be able to do is manually drill down through the thread pages to manually seek out the date, to find the matching post ... which in a large thread can take quite a while as you have to keep having a stab at what page might be the correct date. If there are lots of attachments I want to read up on, then it really does chew up a lot of what could be valuable reading time.

Thanks, Johnny.

If you know the date or pr post of the attachment, in the upper right hand corner of the thread, you will see a paperclip with some numbers beside it. Click on that and then click, no images, that should narrow your search down.

Uh?

Thanks - but I already know / have the attachment in the list ... I'm trying to find the post that the attachment was attached to (so I can read up on the background to it).

Any ideas on how do what I guess is sort of a reverse search???
  • #5,009
  • Sep 13, 2009 10:54pm Sep 13, 2009 10:54pm
Try this; type the name of the indicator in the "search this thread" drop down box. It'll give you a list of posts pertaining to that indicator. It may help narrow your search.

1) Excellent idea thanks ... but it didn't work (returns no matches no matter what the indicator is I search of, and regardless of whether I drop the file extension or not in hte search).

As an example ...

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : "Parabolic_Alert.mq4"

2) Just on another completely different subject; I thought the system used the M5 chart, but I see of late (and also in some PDF/DOC manuals) that the M15 is the chart of preference. Can I please confirm which is really the ideal timeframe to be using, M5 or M15 (as I did not read anything specific regarding a change of preferred timeframe), thanks?

i never started with 5 min then 15 and back to 5 i started with 15 then went to 5 and still using 5 all pairs are long obviously
Ah - some of us might have read the same manual ... "Key to the Mint Manual ... written by OzzieDave and edited by Haroldfx", the only charts mentioned in the manual are the D1 and the M15 (no mention of a M5). I gues the fact that Haroldfx edited the manual, we were perhaps led to believe that M15 was the preferred timeframe. In fact I thought that when I looked at the rules originally much earlier in the thread, the M5 was used, so that's why it looked like M5 to M15 and back to M5???

So I understand it that the M5, EMA 5 close / EMA 8 open, RSI 13, StochDiNapoli 5/3/3, CCI 50 and ZigZag 6/3/3 (plus EMA 60/200 for extra S&R) are now the preferred tools?

Thanks.

The basics are here, in fact from where this post is you can go back a few pages and start reading and read till the end and you'll get most of what you need....

Mmm, I'm seeing a couple of different versions ... should the StochDiNapoli be 5/3/3 or 8/3/3 ?

Also wondering what ZigZag settings you find the best now to show as many appropriate 1,2,3's (as I've seen a few variations of this as well from the thread plus the NoLag ZigZag as well) ?

Thanks.

Thanks Harold - what are you now finding to be the best ZigZag and NoLagZigZag settings?

With the break of point 2 on the M5, do you enter live as soon as price passes point 2 (eg. with a limit pre-set order at that price), or do you wait til candle close then enter on the close?

Regards & thanks, Johnny.

Hi harold4x
you mentioned that you were upping your game to 5% risk per trade
I take it that you were successful .

PS could I also ask any traders of the 5m what broker they are using, I am in the uk
so I look at the london open on the 5m

thanks

Hi
Is the thread still breathing
The 123 trade below failed. The trend down looked ok
a little bit of support/resistence at 132.50 but otherwise
a nice pin bar at the bottom RSI + stoch both crossed
anyone see it differently or was it just one of those blips
that comes along now and again
anyone like to comment
Thanks

I think a little discretion is required. Look at your number 2 point. Not a very convincing up thrust. I would have used the break of the number 2 as my number 2 as it forms a more obvious 1-2-3 pattern. Have you heard of the traders trick entry (look up Joe Ross - Traders Trick), if you did take your number 2 point using the TT you could have then got in 4-5 pips earlier and and adjusted your stop loss 4-5 pips back thus allowing your trade more room to gain momentum.
