I have been trying to stay indicator free but this looks too good!
How come you will not continue with the 1min?
exit to early?
For the reason that 1min, in my view, is good for continuation trades based on HL/LHs only, and that's what I will use it for. Period.

From the beginning my main objective in fx has been to catch as large a chunk as possible of the swings during the European morning. For that reversal trades are needed.

Previously I have used chart patterns and S/R levels on naked charts, which requires some discretionary judgement. An indicator based approach, like the one outlined here is a killer strategy in my view.

For my philosophical view on indicator free trading, see this post:

Who isn't

Scalped the way down on EU.. strange seeing that repetition of the triple top
For somebody who's that much into double tops, triple tops must be freaky - like a birth defect or something?

Here's another BB+CI 100% probability trade.

CI divergence and touch of a downward sloping BB: Does it get any better than that?

Thanks Medici interesting post I had never looked at it like that before.
Problem is IGindex advanced charts don't have CI indicator but I'm sure they will have something similar.

Thanks again.

No worries. I've got the ProRealTime, i.e. IG Advanced Charts, code for the CI. Will post it here later.

This is the way to get CI into your Advanced Charts:

1. Click on the 'Indicator' button.

2. Click on the 'New Indicator' button.

3. Write "Composite Index" in the 'Indicator name' field.

Copy and paste this into the 'Programming of indicator' window:

CI = RSi[14](close) - RSI[14](close[9]) + Average[3](RSI[3](close))

Return CI

4. Click on 'Validate program'.

5. Go to the 'Advanced Charts' main window. Do 'File/Save' or hit Ctrl+S and your indicator is saved.

Enjoy!

Thanks for taking the time to do that. After just a quick look back it seems to call the reversals perfect and along with PA like you say a killer strategy!

You're welcome.

Scarily accurate isn't it!? The killer strategy needs an anthem, and "Divergence to Divergence" is a bit much to hope for, so let's go for this one instead:

Psychedelic? You should stay away from those drugs, and fading BB+CI would seem less scary...

Haha nice!
Glad you like it. Non-directional out there (still CI+BB would make you tons of pips).

Seems like people are waiting for the cash equity markets to set the direction for the early week.

So I'm going out for a while. Thanks for this morning, boys and girls.

You should venture out into the suburbs more often! It's the norm around ere...

yep there was a nice HL trade also think this had divergence but I'm not sure I'll need you to confirm that when your back if you can and a nice exit off the RN with divergence.
I didn't take this as was busy but what do you think?

Hi Medici,

I missed the early session but couldn't resist a go at an EU long when I saw the CI indi showing divergence.

I used the m5 for my entry.

Ah, the closet has come open...but I shouldn't say that...confessing can be purifying, very therapeutic. So go on, don't be embarrased, you're among friends who care about you

Suburbs? You mean places like Dulwich and Hampstead? David Miliband lives in Hampstead, so that's got to be pretty down-market. And with his strange policies he must be on all sorts of chemicals. Was it him you saw munching the stubs?

A boob fetishist on acid and a power fetishist on all sorts...are you two neighbours by any chance?

Dulwich, on the other hand, I've never seen anything suspicious in when I've visited. In fact they could use some livening up. Mervyn King, for example, wouldn't suffer from popping a few...anti-depressants, speed, anything that might perk him up. Any good dealers for that in your hood?

Me, I've go the PM around the corner (well, until his recent relocation) and I can assure you that he is, like his policies, pure as a baby...which reminds me of something you might have enjoyed...

On holiday this summer me and my mate (who is like you, except for the drugs) were entertaining a couple of blondes. My mate's friend was a 30ff...natural, well-shaped. Imagine that on a slim body, in a smart cocktail dress and high heels...aaah, I come to think of
