Lou, tanks for sharing your sistem, it looks to be very simple. I´m tradin oil with your tools.
I notice that your sistem can be refine with momo scalpin (15m, H1), (Boris schlossberg book, google it...) TVI cross can be confirmed with Macd cross after retraces. it looks to be promissing... lets see. what pairs you trade?
tanks again

Not surprising that ALF works well with oil - John Ehlers, the developer of ALF, is primarily a futures trader.

Thanks for posting and opening a new opportunity.

I am trying to get used to the new TVI Candles Indicator (Great job Lou ).

Here is my second trade.

Review, Standard ALF /TVI entry, broke ALF, TVI in correct direction, broke support, broke london close. I was worried about price having moved up 280+ pips, then down that same amount, but the Greecian Bailout news is pretty big and the sunday gap has not yet closed, and since my target is just below the 1.2800 price and I have noticed that when price on EUR/USD approaches a big round number like that price likes to break through a bit and then retest before going one way or another, I figured I could get my +20 pips.

PS - this is out of my normal trading time.
PPS - Aparently there was a FOMC annoucement on US dollar and Bank of Japan liquidity swap. I missed that completly and FF added the event to the news calendar after the fact.

A Classic Alf/TVI trade in Progress

Once +10 pips I set the trade to a stop exit of Break even since News is upcoming and price momentum has stalled a bit.

Stoppped out for +0 pips.


My stops are probably too tight... with news being so minor.

What if game .... (lol)

If I had stayed with the basic rules (10 pip stop, 20 pip tp), my trade would have been back in profit now. And would have closed when price hit my target of 1.2741.

LESSON :
Stick to the rules ...
