thank cliff, think i will stay with eu for now heck 20-40 pips a day is good enough for me.

What is the CMO indicator not familiar with that one?
is chande's momentum oscillator. see also: http://www.cmsfx.com/en/trading-soft...ndicators/cmo/

somehow my mac always renames them to .txt so you have to rename it back to .mq4

Thanks Lou,

Very nicely done, and looks like something we can all understand!

I would love to see more detail on exit strategy (my typical nemesis).

Thanks again for putting in so much time.

Happy pipping...
See post #117.

HI Lou,

Took this short, however, ALF was still pointing upwards. (which I only realized after entering)

Will you regard this as a valid trade?

Yes. Slope of ALF is not a factor in this case.

As promised, I've added sections to Post #1 on the topics Entries, Exits and Stops.

They're short but to the point (this is, after all, a simple method) and I will add to them as appropriate.

Hello again. I have noticed LouG mentions candle patterns. Is there a certain pattern to look for and do the patterns include the candle colors using the black and white?

thanks again

Lou, i'm gradually becoming far more adept at reading the charts and familiarizing myself with patterns. Thanks for the tips, system and advice!

very much appreciated!
20-40 pips with good MM is all i need a day, and your guides have made this quite attainable.
Cheers Mate!

Asia looked good. I was doing other stuff and missed initial long entry by 8 pips and entered late so i set take profit at +10 and still left pips on the table...

Lou.
I have been trading with the old setup and just came accross to the new forum, from where I have downloaded the new indicators and template.
My problem is that I cannot get the new Alf and new Alf Candles to show in the custom indicators list after placing the files into the indicators file. The new template shows in the template folder but when put on a chart only shows the grey and white candles.
I am experienced in MT4 applications, so all steps were correctly taken. I have tried to put on 3 separate broker platforms, all with the same result. Any idea what is causing this problem?

Many thanks for continuing and improving your excellent forum and system.

Close the platform and restart it. They shouid show if you have saved in the correct folder i.e. mt4/experts/indicators.

I spent the last 15 minutes trying different TF's to see what looks the most tradeworthy. Guess I'll stick with M15 for now.

As everyone knows, tomorrow is NFP day (my least favorite trading day). I probably won't place many trades today or tomorrow but will be hanging around to answer questions...
