thank you Baniu. I looked up and down and everywhere. This is saving a lot of frustrations for me. Thank you so much.
Also, I want to express my admiration for Irathi and the fine and generous souls here.

Hi Swingman,
your smsupertrix pv4 col and mtf version stays in the middle of my strategy. Thx for such a work. I wonder if its possible to set the alarm on color change.

It seems I may have found this thread a little late but I am interested in knowing the rules etc about Indrek's system in post #3559. I am willing to put the time and effort in that short term trading strategy. Any info or a link if it is explained somewhere, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi.

My approach to the MTF Trix indicator has always been the same as described in first post. But later on I started to use both BBStop and Volty as confirming tools. See http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=3462

I see not much difference what MTF indicator to use - Trix or Trio. The approach is the same.

Hello,
I have used the MTF custom indicator for the alerts and have deleted it.
I still get the alarms whereas the indicator has been deleted.
Could someone tell me how to stop those alerts popping up.
Many thanks in advance,

That's a tricky one Don because if the indicator has really been deleted then obviously it cannot be still sending alerts. I said "tricky" because the question(s) is - was it really deleted? are the alerts coming from some other indicator? is there something funky going on with your computer LIKE are you using VISTA???
The best thing at this point is to save all your templates, profiles etc, then delete your platform and do a fresh install.

Hi Kustus,
Thank you for your reply.
I have deleted the indicator that was generating the signal.
My templates are all backed up.
I do not use vista but the metatrader reinstall could solve the prob.
Thanks

I would just delete the template and reinstall the indicators on a new chart (and save the new template)
I would not think that you would need to reinstall MT4

Good luck

This is a good lesson what can happen when markets are ranging. My EURUSD trade lasted for more than 8 hours and finally I could get out with no loss... and no profit either

If it was morning then I would not get out but before midnight... I just like to sleep without any worries
Overall result for today - 166 pips on 6 trades. Catched only 2 x ATR(14) per trade using the "less is more" principle.

No problems, just wondered Are you sometimes trading this system? I will continue with this during my summer vacation when I have more time.
I see that all MTF Trix fans have disappeared from FF. Hopefully everything is OK with them and they are not being scammed and robbed in some private forum.

Hi Indrek,

Very nice thread you have. Hope that interest in it will pick up again. I have been reading through a few threads lately (most of them related to the trix indicators). I have really enjoyed doing so and hope you'll all continue to contribute to the FF community. In the past I have used FF only for news and calendars, didn't use metatrader. Since I have started using metatrader a few months ago, the enormous amount of information has amazed me. As I said, have been reading a lot and hope to be able to contribute myself in the future.

Thanks PBB

Hi Indrek,

had to stay away for some times ... had no possibility to trade .. you know - private issues.

One reason that MTF Trix fans disappeared might be that the longer you use this system the more you adapt it to your own style of trading. Some months ago I asked SwingMan whether he could develope smC4Scalper Signals to MTF. As he had no time to do this yet I was playing with the setting and found a very similar solution to my question.

I still use MTF ... I still use Trix ... but I left the common way of this thread. And I think that other MTF Trix fans took a similar way to move on.

One thing was boring to me: I spent a lot of hours in front of my screen ... no signals matched. But as soon as I decided to boil a cup of tea or to eat something ... the bricks matched and I was too late. Now I use an acustic signal just one minute before a M15 candle closes and I have better results.

The ideas are sure in the hyperspace of the FF comunity. I think that one day you will see their contributions again.

I still will be looking around and stumble in sometimes.

Good luck and many pips to you

Nice to see you around after so much time

OK ... here are my indicators and my template (zip-file)

The idea is that I have a template that shows me some arrows. The trix arrows are set to period 3 and to period 7. Period 7 simulates the next higher TF (not exactly - but it is the best I could get).

When I start my trading day I choose TF M15. That means that the yellow and lime big arrows (period 7) show me the situation of the H1 chart and the smaller magenta and aqua arrows (period 3) show me the situation of the current TF (i. e. TF M15).

I will N E V E R trade against the period 7 arrow! When in TF 15 a period 3 arrow appears (same directionm as the period 7 arrow) I put a vertical line on it and switch to TF M5. Now the period 3 arrow of TF 15 changed to a period 7 arrow in TF5. I wait until a period 3 arrow apperares (same direction as the period 7 arrow) and enter the trade.

It would be much more easy when I had MTF smC4 Scalper Signals. Perhaps SwingMan will find a little time for it.

There are a few possibilities to exit a trade. I will show it on a screenshot.

The HAMA2 is my favorite indicator for visualisation of the main price movement.

The CK_Speed indicator at the bottom of the chart tells me when there is more or less market movement. When you see yellow bars then market is ranging, when you see green bars the market is trending.

The bar_close_alarm gives me a signal 1 minute before the recent candle closes.

I just tried to keep it simple.

Cheers

Not that simple but not too complicated either.
I think, I may have a good news for you - SwingMan really coded a MTF signal indi. I attach it here. You can choose timeframes in the settings and choose if you want it to show Trix or Trio (it is close to Trix but less lagging).

There are surely a lot of indicators that show you when it is better to wait than to trade. For example:

They do not always match but you must find out the one that fits to you.

Nice to see some life in here.

And yes, I have moved to a private forum, but not scammed or robbed (as I found a way in).
It is nice to be part of something & having more eyes watching, as it was here once. As you are aware, retail trading can be a lonesome job.

I do hope all is well with all of you & hope this thread make a full comeback beyond it's former glory. I'll be watching for it.

See you all later.
I trade what I see on my charts. Do Not listen to the Muppets.
