I've just read through this thread. It looks like a sound strategy - straight forward and rigorous. Obviously the result of hard work. Thanks for sharing.

I'm going to demo trade it next week during the London morning session. Can I post a chart each day of my efforts for comments? I'm sure to have missed a few things in the 1000+ posts.

Best wishes to all.

Hi Steve.

You are most welcome to post charts, not just the winners but also the not so good trades as they'll be the ones that speed up the learning process the quickest.

All the best.

Whilst I'm still looking at ALF, for med term 1hr 8lwma works well and each TF's 8 lwma works well, so I don't know if ALF will give me (may be great for others) an advantage.
Hi,
May I ask what's "ALF".
Sorry for the noob question..
Thx

Not a noob question at all.

ALF - adaptive laguerre filter see http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=226154

Mrs V is anti system change, I am allowed to run ideas parrallel to our current system on the chance that I can prove the benefit to her to tweak what we are doing. The last 2 tweaks were swopping 1hr 21 ema for 8 lwma and bringing in 15 min candles. Not exactly earth shattering changes.

Some of the guys on above thread are doing very well with that system. I do see however that LouG the thread starter is unhappy with certain aspects and said he'll close thread down (1000+ posts enough). I do wish him well and will watch out for whatever he comes up with next.

Having 8 lwma on each time frame plus the 1hr 8 lwma as general trend guide works well for me.

Hi,

I've downloaded the hl-lh_5m template and I thought all the indi, but my screen looks nothing like your first post's screen.

Is there meant to be 2 templates? one for the m5 chart and one for the h1 chart?

Perhaps there is a zip file with all the relevant indi's and templates?

cheers.

Sorry, the problem started as my mt4/vista combo just doesn't allow me to download any templates that I have created, they are on my mt4 but NOWHERE to be found on this computer.

This is the downloaded template from here posted earlier, I saved my template over it, fingers crossed. And yes the above is bizarre and no-one understands whats happening.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Sorry for the inconvenience, also pls excuse expired screenhunter, just wanted this post done.
OK that template seems to be working now.

Just want to stress again don't just trade red/green use it to force you to look at 15 min and 1hr candles and to try and assess them.

Pls consider that many, many lower time frame systems here are actually based on hl/lh's with an indi combo telling you when to press the button. Whatever method you choose watching pa will serve you well.

Been down the indi road, not likely to go back there. Having said that I still like some for divergence reasons but not using at the mo.

Parky I'm sorry since my prev computer blew up this vista/mt4 combo is doing some of the wierdest things ie for the life of me any template I create is nowhere to be found.

Vantage pos closes Roy 06 with doji (60,60,0.55,0.45)
Vantage pos closes Roy 06 with doji (15,40,0.55,0.45)

Hmm, don't know what to tell you, Vantage. I went and downloaded the template I posted, renamed it to test.tpl and loaded it up on a new chart. It loaded fine.

It would seem the last person who posted had the template load correctly, with the exception of the BetterVolume, SDX-TZPivots and Royston's indicators. The only thing I can think of is that these custom indicators are not in the same location that my template file refers to. I'm sure you could check the log folder and see that the loading of the indicators was attempted when the template was applied, but they failed to be found.

I am still using Windows XP for my trading so it could be an issue that the indicators are in a different folder than a Vista / Win 7 configuration. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about MT4 to know for sure. All my custom indicators are located in my mt4/experts/indicators folder.

It may just be that people with different systems / configurations will have to load the indicators themselves the first time thanks to this difficult beast that is MT4. The only part of it that is challenging is getting Royston's three indicators in the same window. To do this, add the first indicator as normal, and then use the indicator dropdown from the navigator pane to drag and drop the other two indicators into the window. From there it is just a matter of simple adjustments to the values that will get each indi placed where you want it. If you have trouble, just follow along in this thread:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=234062

As a final attempt however, I have attached my 5min template again along with the various indicators that it uses. If you can't get it to work, well, don't ask me.

Hi Auron - just tried your template and it works fine for me (FXPro and XP Pro) with the exception that there is no Vantage positive close window. However that is easy enough to load up.
