we might have seen the bottom of this long downtrend move. it may retrace upward or just do the range bound again.
I agree with you however it won't really be a true bounce until we have finished this German parliament decision that is due on Friday.

It would not surprise me to see 1.2800 as the base for the moment, we have gone a long way in the last few days.

Might be a good place to hide and SL under the 1.2800 handle and take a small position looking to buy into a rebound but I will be waiting until Friday to consider a move against this trend.

4x.

Congrats on the green pips 4X. I'm with you on EURCAD. Also in EURUSD +100 locked in. Also still on EURNZD +300 locked in.

Bit worried I'm in to many Eur trades atm but will do as you suggest keep the stops tight.

Any advice as to the Cad TP I know there is strong resistance at around the price atm.

kinko

many thanks -- now i can avoid trading during fake breakouts

suppose i trade using the chikou cloud ( 1ma shift 14-40 ) method
using 1 hour chart .

Before I open a trade on the 1 hour chart , must i look for support level from the lower TF like 30 min /15 min chikou cloud and the resistance level from the higher TF like 4 hour/ daily chikou cloud

the chikou cloud breakout on 1 hour chart can work stand alone ?

Thanks very much for your usual informative posts. After I refreshed and read everything properly all my questions answered.

Its nice to know all the original guys/gals are all doing well its just that after spending 850 pages with them I sort of felt a bit nervous without them but its a massive help to have yourself smoothing the way along with all the other people on here willing to share. Once again thanks very much.

sorry for not posting earlier guys.

here now the mql script i mentioned.

how to use it: go to http://www.blat.net/ and download the full program
blat is a windows command line smtp email send tool which supports attachments (something metatrader cant do).

extract blat to wherever (in my example its in the default program files dir)

edit the indicator to your folders (comments for what to do provided) beginning at line 51.

edit the resolution of the screenshots at line 283.

the indi alerts on 3 things: ts/ks cross, cs/price cross and kumo breakout.
everytime one of these events is triggered, it will start blat and send an email including the screenshot we just made. a cmd window will pop up (should be minimized) and close shortly. this is just blat doing its stuff, so dont freak out

the beauty of this is that everything you see on your screen on metatrader will be on the screenshot, every indicator. for example i have the thv calendar v4 attached, and an indicator which writes some very indiviual stuff on the chart which helps me.

credits to the original creators of this wonderful indi at forex-TSD (http://www.forex-tsd.com/indicators-...oku-alert.html)

you can test if your blat parameters work by opening a cmd window and calling blat with the parameters
-server <smtp server> -body "<testbody>" -s "<testsubject>" -t <to address> -f <from address> -u <user> -pw <pass>

hope that helps you in your trading!

ps: everything provided as is. im not officially supporting this code because it was just a quick hack for myself. please dont ask which mail server to use or something like that. giyf

hi guys. seems like filtering fake breakout is a hot topic in here. so i'd like to seek some heat too. hehe. so there i found a simple way to filter fake breakout with a little help from the CCI indicator with the parameter of 200. it just seems that when the 200 CCI is above 0, price is in an uptrend and below 0 is downtrend. so when CCI is above 0, only take upward breakout and vice versa. Price may move in the opposite direction a little bit sometimes but if you're patient enough, u'll end up with some profit. here is a chart of the fake and real breakouts marked by a cross for fake breakout and a tick for a real breakout. but don't blame me if the strategy fails sometimes as ALL system do fail sometimes. trade wisely

Hi Karmakey,
Just one little thing on the new ichi trend indi - cosmetics really. How can you change the colours? Lime green does not go well with my chart background. Most other indis have this facility and it does help you keep to your colour theme. Great work by the way - very impressive and very helpful. Thanks for sharing mate.

Lectures indeed

Apologies to those who already know this information and just wanted to hear "keep your stops tight and wait for a retrace for entry"! It's often easier to cover an issue from the outset to make sure everyone get's the answers they need as quickly as possible.

Any green pips today? I am really p1$$ed I forgot to hit send on my GBP/CHF setup from yesterday for everyone. The EURCAD sell is starting to move now but the GBP/CHF one is now up 130+ and I've got half banked and SL to BE targeting...

I think a next release of the indi (probably the V1.1a) will have the functions you have described above.

Morning all

Booked 200 pips in EURUSD on the lH its in around +266 atm but all TFs look good so as no risk going to let it run is this a wise decision atm. Comments appreciated.

Also still in EURNZD from last week booked good pips but have SL other side of Kumo which I believe is correct ichi but leaves a lot of pips unclaimed. Could someone help me with this please. As I now have no risk and + pips should I be moving my SL with the Ks - altho price has spiked thro Ks on a couple of occasions - so where is the best place??? As there is no risk now I am really trying to trade correct ichi with a longer term view to help me make the jump to HTF's Comments appreciated.

Came out of EURCAD with good +pips thanks to your guidance 4XAddict
