Stratman, great work. I have a question for Daily pivot indicator download. When I tried to download it which is "attachment.php" file, how can I use it? because I can't find the indicator from my custom indicator folder. I will keep checking every post update here. Have a nice weekend!

So there is no confusion ... the daily pivot indicator is made by others. It is a great indicator and a credit to traderathome and caveman ... thanks guys 
If you get an opportunity, head over to the thv thread and thank the team for it
.
Regard 'attachment.php' ... this happens to people a lot. It used to happen to me when using a download manager like getright. I found that bypassing the download manager gave me the correctly named file.
In my case, I installed firefox and use that for everthing now and don't have any issues. I only use 'exploder' for pages that sometimes don't work in firefox.

I've had this from various forums. In a lot of cases I have found that renaming attachment.php - either before or after you have downloaded it - to the name of the file that you want to download works.
Avoiding download managers and downloading directly is usually best.

Trading with the trend is not as easy as it sounds 
Download pipware-compass-v1.0 here
The easiest way to determine trend direction is by using a moving average (ma). Using a large ma period gives the longer term view while a smaller ma period gives a short term view.
Even though I consider all timeframes when looking at what price is doing, I do have a favourite ... the M15. After looking at all the higher timeframes (for the big picture), I usually return to the M15 to wait for a trading opportunity. Note: I never leave trades on over night ... M15 fits this style of trading really well. Once a trading opportunity presents itselft I change to the M5 an M1 charts for the best entry.
Below is a M15 chart showing three moving averages.
The multi-colored ma is the THV Coral. This is a 60 period Triple Exponential Moving Average. One of the thv rules is to only take long trades when price is above the coral and short trades when price is below the coral. This will generally get you into trades with the trend. Note that this is not typically used on the M15 chart. I always look at the coral when on the M5 and M1 charts.
The Yellow line is a 20 period coral. It represents what the coral would look like on an M5 chart ie 60 period on M5 becomes 20 period on M15 (60 * 15/5 = 20). Because a 20 period coral is not available to the masses, you can approimate it with a 20 period simple moving average (shown in white).
To avoid confusion, I've made a 20 period coral (single color of blue) and called it the pipware-compass. Download the compass here.
So this is how I use the ma's for trading. I watch the M15 chart with the pipware-compass. I use the thv coral rules ie trade long when price is above the ma, short when price is below the ma.
Simple enough? You can break these rules ie trade toward the ma only if there is enough space ... typically more than 35 pips. Trading toward the ma is considered counter-trend trading.
There is a PTma value on the dashboard. It's purpose is to check the number of pips away from the ma for possible counter-trend trades (ie > 35). This is fully configurable ie you can set the type and period of the MA you want to use.
Also note, you can often see price gets stuck around the moving average or even bounces off it. This is why moving averages are often used for support and resistance.
As an aside, cashmeer and I are experimenting with the counter-trend trades to work out optimum scenarios. We'll post results at a later date.

Version 1.0 has a bug 
... sorry to all who have downloaded it 
I have made it better by making it the real 60 period coral on M5 and a single color on other timeframes.
IMPORTANT: this version represents the 60 period M5 coral (Triple smoothed SMA20 on M15) on all time frames ie the periods become:
M1=300
M5=60
M15=20
H1=5
>H1 not shown
Please download here (link same but updated file)

Note 1: dashboard and manual were updated to include 'PTCPASS' ie pips to compass. Download the manual again if you would like an updated copy (I kept the version of the manual at v3.0 to match the dashboard installer version)
Note 2: I had trouble including templates in the installer. The template I use can be downloaded from here. It's the same page as the compass (btw, the compass is included in the dashboard installer)
Note 3: Please read the Quick Start section of the manual before asking me questions about how to set up the time zone setting.
Note 4: Please post all bug reports here so everyone can see them.
To download, log in to pipware.com and go to your registered products. If you have not already registered the previous version, register it as version 3 and you will be able to download from the registered products link.
If you have trouble registering or downloading, please contact me via the contact page of pipware.com here. IMPORTANT: Please tell me two pieces of information:
1) the username you registered with on pipware.com
2) the paypal user name (email adress) you used to purchase the dashboard.
cheers

Stratman, if you post your THV trades with a link always in the first page I will add a link on the first page of the THV thread that all folks can follow your trades which are very well documented in your vids.
I don't care if the mods like it or not, what you have done for THV was free and your vids are very educational.
If I get banned or whatever because of that, it will be so, but you made a lot af contributions to THV without asking for any cent.

Note: So there is no misunderstanding, I am classed as a commercial member, I can only post in my own thread (this one) ie I can't post to public threads like THV.
I do keep up-to-date with the THV thread, and wish I could still post there. I'm thankful for the members that keep in contact with me here though

Oki, let me know when you start.
Folks, I think that I have to add that I gave Stratman a personal 1X1 training before he was banned to the commercial section
, he really knows what he's talking about!
Wish that he could post at least in the THV thread.
