in MT4 is there any way to make a trendline alert? In ninja you can only have an alert at a price. Sure would be nice to be able to draw an alert.

However, try these I am not sure how they work I have not tried them, I do know you cannot give them the same name.

Hi NM,

If I could make sure I am clear on this point, as I have been watching the videos and there is a lot to digest.

I had thought that once a trend is established and we are trading in and out of that trend, we use the 30 to 50 zone to guide the entry of a trade as opposed to the trendline for a new setup.

If trades are to be held overnight, is there an approach as part of the method that ties the closing of a trade to swing as opposed to the ADR. Thought being - there could be a strong trend that last for days without a new setup to enter the trend.

Thank you for help!
BR

If we get a bounce off that trendline then I wil still be looking to short this. But again I need to see the PA before I place any trade then we can trade so Much safer. On this time frame I would say a long is out of the question for awhile until it starts showing some organization in that drection.

Yes that is true on the 30 and 50, but it is not necessary to be in the channel, I like to have PA in the area of those MA lines it can be below or above, but I like to wait for it to come back to them, but again if the S/R all line up like they should then it is still a valid setup imo. But if I am too far way from the MA lines then I will wait.

If you are trading longer term than just daytrading then the ADR really does not matter. You can let the trade run and not worry about the ADR.

Is there a method based exit?

Use a swing of a shorter TF or trailing stop....maybe?

Thanks

Yes you can set TP many different ways, fib numbers, previous impulse length, use the pole length on a flag formation...etc

NM,

How important are the Fib levels in your`determination of taking a trade? Does the retrace always need to reach that 38-62% area?

pipnut
I use a window area rather than a specific number, but yes they are very important. I have seen them turn around on the 23 fib and I have traded on a bounce off that number only to have it swing back and reach the 38 and then go...more times than not.

Do you draw the fib from the last SMA bounce or the last high which may be outside the 3 SMAs?

I draw it from where the last impulse started which is usually the high from the previous day but not always.

Based on where I currently have my fibs, I see the UJ 30M has retraced to the 50 SMA and bounced. It is in the Fib Retracement area and dropping back towards the Retracement TL. Setup Chart.

NzdJpy 30M, retraced to 30 SMA, only spiking into the Fib Retracement area, now heading for Horizontal support line. Setup Chart.

30M CHF, EUR, AUD & GBP/JPY retraced to 30 SMA but none hit the Fib areas as yet.

Am I on it here?
