As I get more experience, I remove more indicators from my main chart as I can 'see' what's happening from pure price action. After all, indicators are built from price action history. Given enough 'screen time' you too will become better at 'seeing' and the distraction of indicators will become less.

When I do videos, I try to include moving averages etc so people can get more of a sense of what's happening. I personally only use the moving averages on my mini charts. The moving averages on the mini charts are more accurate. The MA's on the main...

GREAT!!! I like your philosophy, and would like to be able soon to feel much more the market with less indies.

I enjoy your videos, found them very useful, please keep posting, thank you!

Hi Stratman,

Hope the pips have been flowing your way! I was just wondering, I noticed that in your post, you used "MA's on your mini charts" in plural form. Have you made a version of the mini charts to where you can put more than one indy or different indys on them?
Anyways, I just want to say, Please keep the video's coming. They help a lot to see what goes on and what to look for in trading (good ones and bad ones). There can never be enough knowledge learned in trading.
Thank You.

Moving averages are all that can be added for now. There are modes to display stochastics, macd, trix, HA etc but nothing else for now. Maybe in the future.

Here is a tpl for The Big Picture,if anyone is interested , you will need the fx5 indi . I take the fx5 divergence and overlay it in the bottom window over Stratmans version of trix with no histrogram, the bottom trix will change with every time fram, its good for bigger time frams reversels outlook, the ema crossover are the arrows on the chart, and you will need them for this template .The only problem you have is to zoom in and out to get the candles bigger, and if it doesn't work, Lets all trade for one week off a naked chart "no indicators" and see how we do just off price action, on a demo account of course. Hope everyone has a wonderful week end.

Hi Fishman,

Quite interesting. About the ema cross, what combination (and which TF to be applied) you are using?

Cheers

Sometimes I get challenged by people about whether I am really making profit. I don't like to post results as I feel it's kind of showing off ... so not really that helpful.

This post is for those of you who don't think my methods work.

Faster EMA 4
Slower EMA 5

I found it on ff. I am still very much in the learning process, Stratmans tread has help me in many different ways , I am always looking for the big support and resist lines,at least on the D1, and H1 charts, "trend lines", channels, and with the db, trix, mini charts , moving averages, and divergence, etc. I try mostly for 2X times my sl, so if sl is 10 pips , I try to get 20 pips, but depends on all of the above and watching different time frams. gbp/jpy , I need to increase my sl to at least 20 pips plus the spread, very volitile. The risk/ reward is higher. The trend is your friend.

Tks Fishman,

Just one little suggestion, Strat's DB is great (I've using since its beginning) but we don't need to apply every tool in your trading. Too many indicators altogether will only confuse us.

Its my own feel.

I bought your DB and since then had been reading this thread. I just finish all. I will say initially I was blinded by all the lights on the DB, in that I did not understand and how to interpret them all together untill I got to page 100 - 106 ,when all started coming together, and especially when I downloaded your old templates run it along side the DB then the lights really came on.
I will say your DB shows the work of a PRO - Programmer.
I made 20 + 30 pips on friday using your Fractal set up.
Thank you for your generousity.

Yes you are correct, the more simple the chart is the better, It does get confuseing to watch all these indicators, and sometimes they don't work as well as you would like, I traded for a little while with just a naked chart and one indicator ,the trix and trend lines, it can be done. The other indis just confirm my already made decision. I make it a habit of watching CNBC news also when the US secession is in play. They keep me up with the news and if some breaking story comes out, it can effect your trade.
I have a two computer setup, one for mt4 and my charts, indi, etc, and the other is with a laptop for my Oanda live trading account.Stratman turn me on to this and it has made a big difference. better spreads, etc. It all comes down to what works for you. Finding the right setup, I am still looking for it , but getting closer.

Yes, the more I watch the screen, the less indicators I use. I am focusing on candle patterns around support and resistance at the moment. This is very interesting .. particularly reversal candles as per the video I made on the price action part of our strategy.

To learn this better, I've been very disciplined to keep my main chart naked ... the dashboard and news master are there, but nothing drawn on the main chart candles except the occasional SR.

My SMA60 and stochastics are there but only in the bottom area using 'pipware-charts'.

Have you thought about coding an indy based on candle types like pin bars or pivot reversal candles as they appear in key S/R zones?

I moved to another broker so no longer using MT4. Do you do any LUA programming? Of course, I would pay for the service.

Hi Stratman

when I use the alerts on the new DB it says for example
BIAS=DOWN Fractal SR for fractal alerts and BIAS=UP THV for THV alerts but it doesnt tell you what chart to check which makes the alerts much less useful for people using multiple charts, I basically have to trun the alerts off as they become a nuisance even though id like to use them.

2 questions for you- 1) didnt an earlier version of your DB give an alert and notify what chart the alert was on- which version was that?

2)When you get the chance can you update the alerts so they say what chart the alert is for, this would make the DB much better to use for all

thanks
