SNB usually intervene thru EUR CHF. The USD CHF should drag that down. We might see some action in a minute, hopefully!

Makes sense. On something like the G/U you'd need 150pip + stop on something like a 4 hr. I made myself good at the 5 mins bc I didn't like holding positions overnight. Some days great results. Some days not so much holding overnight. Now I have the attention span of a gnat!...whoa! some G/U movement again.

Just started using ATR for my stops.... had a read on it and it makes great sense.
In Live things aren't cast in stone. IE. I 60y old overweight smoking man will pay more for health insurance that a 30y old non smoking gym junkie... risk is less. The ATR adjust SL as the mark moves with volatility. But that's just me

BTW back to this magic indi any preference in the settings, how does the MA and Stoch settings work together, myself use a 20 EMA and 14 Stochs, and get better entries without the Indi, any suggestions?

The moving average is just something I picked up along the way. I believe Igorad from TSd is the author. i set this indi to 18 period and "Color Back" to 0. What I like about it is that when it's changing to green is a heads-up for a possible change in direction. You can even have the indi warning you if you like to be annoyed.

With the other indis (all posted in this thread) for filtration on a 5 min chart I basically have three trading options (see link to fractal thread as well) on a move. The indi in question that got this thread started is a great compliment to this on the shorter term charts. My plan for the EA is for the 4 hr charts as that is where it seems to work best. I don't change the settings.

It's pretty ugly on some pairs on lower charts but pick your battles.

To answer your Q I suppose it would be based on your time frame you like to trade and your trading style.

I forgot to post this indi. It is a countdown clock showing mins remaing til end of the current bar. It requires pip movement to show the new time movement. I find it handy.

Forget where I picked it up. Author should be in the code.

There is one on the Nonlag MA. not on the Bressert yet. Maybe someone can take a crack at it. A couple of members have PM'd me and are working on the EA.

Here it causes a alert when the position one back from the current forming dot changes

EDIT: I just made a small change, so download it now, if you downloaded it before this edit..

That's odd, it works on my live account with IBFX and my demo account.

It designed to alert when the complete dot just before the current dot is a different color than the dot before it.

Hmmm. I ran it on my live and demo. Likely a setting. I'll play around with it.

Thanks Smjones for the alert, but could you please change or add it so that gives an audio alert instead of notification window?

Thank you!

No, I don't think so. I like the way it works now. Maybe someone else will change it to strictly audio alert. Sorry.

Still not getting the alert. Let it run for 2 hrs on Eur/Chf. All other indis producing alerts. Anyone have a suggestion? I have reinstalled. Stumped.

Please post a screen shot and say what broker it is. Have you tried it on a one minute chart to see if you get any alerts?
