3182 looks to be a good sell level in the Euro. Pivotal last week, and 50% of the overnight range.
Must have polished that crystal ball well last night...

Regardless, CI divergence would have caught it.

Nice trades Medici, I have spent years weaning myself off indis and onto naked charts, I have tried to resist but that last chart does look pretty. LOL

Thank you! And if this is your first post here a warm welcome...to the best place on the Internet for trading the London open

I have gone through a similar journey, but I now think that it doesn't hurt to have a frame of reference to view the market through. I am grateful to Islander for opening my eyes to that.

The CI indicator has truly got me back on indicators again. It's efficiency in catching reversals has astounded me. For example, take a look at attached daily Euro chart.

Hi all I normally post my trades on Vantages thread but this is not a HL/LH system trade so I'll post it here.
I'd like to see what you think of the PA reading.
triple/double top depending on how close you want the tops to be.
Failed bear flag overshoot and failed breakout of the triangle wedge.
Target low of range but exited early at 800 I should have held on a bit longer!

Really should have held on!
Hello, and thank you for posting. Nice trade

No comments really apart from maybe that I wouldn't make too much of the triangle pattern which seems coincidental more than anything else.

My reading would be: Pin bar from above flat Bollinger band and reverse CI divergence, in addition to the 38.2% which is where I would have entered if I hadn't called it a morning at that time.

Looking forward to your comments.

Note also that the FO buy was a CI reverse divergence buy...but not an RSI reverse divergence buy...

Like many others, I too have been naked - OK almost! - for some time and use price / PA in relation to my EMAs to show me what's changing momentumwise and trendwise. FYI I also use EMA outer bands in lieu of BBs

My first question on this indy - an MT4 version of Constance Brown's one published on her web site at aeroinvest - is how are you using - if at all - the green and gold lines.

Looking at the CII on a 5m cable chart, I'm tempted to remove those lines and just use the red one.

My first question on this indy - an MT4 version of Constance Brown's one published on her web site at aeroinvest - is how are you using - if at all - the green and gold lines.
The gold and green lines are 13 and 33 period SMAs of the CI itself. I remember reading her saying that the gold line can act as support/resistance for the CI, and that their crossover has some significance. But in my chart studies I haven't found anything consistent enough along those lines. But then I haven't taken her course, priced at $$$$, where one can learn all about that

EDIT: But what does seem to have some relevance is support and resistance levels and trendlines for the CI. Worth exploring further.


So, no, I am not using them. But the divergence properties of the CI itself I find stunning.

Not a bad idea...unless you want to go to her ranch in North Carolina to learn more

GM - that was a dead easy six o'clock long... target 5820.
Yep, I also managed to steal some pips.

Sounds interesting! So what were your findings on the harmonic patterns?
There are a few, some setups prove to be successful in 50% - 80% (needs to be checked on longer period than last two years for 5m and 1h), one major finding is that's worth of further research (and i'm eager to).

i agree. very interesting!
i am sure that entailed a lot of computer work/brainstorming.
Managed to write the indi and thesis in one month (i can't believe!), while working full time job, so wasn't that bad But to create working, successful EA - it will.

BTW: I'm looking forward to object-oriented MQL5, could you share some resouces/info/news/stuff, if you got some?

Greetings and cu tomorrow,

GM - selling around yesterday morning's highs around 5825 looks tempting. H&S plus support turned resistance.

LOL - I see a 5m UH vol spinning top as the low which suggests some profit taking / support around the 75 level, so I've banked and am looking for a mid FH bounce....
