You are so right! I'm going to cross it off my scan list!
Instead of USDJPY, I normally look at either eurjpy or gbpjpy (not an absolute correlation between those pairs) BUT those two pairs tend to be alot more exciting than usdjpy.

THE CHART LOVERS METHOD

I am starting this thread for those of us who love charts..watching them...studying them...analyzing them and of course, making money from them.

My system is simple. It is a basic trend following one using the weekly, daily and H4 charts. I have made a goodly amount of money using this system, although I cannot say that I "discovered" it.

I have traded forex for approximately 4 years, have lost more than a few thousand dollars, have responded to more than one $99 special...

hi lawgirl

i dont know what you mean by the rsi being between 4 and 6 etc ? how do you check that on the rsi ? the rsi only shows just below 50 on the first chart you gave. so where is 4 and 6 ?

also on the 2nd chart you gave, i cant see 3 taps, i only see 2 taps ?

after the 3rd tap do you enter trade after the candle closes or enter straightaway on 3rd tap ?

you say we need to seek confirmation from daily and weekly charts. but how ? what do we look for in those charts ?


say if the weekly shows short. and todays daily chart has just started, so how can you see if it is in agreement if the day isn't over and the daily candle not complete yet ? and on the 4 hr chart which candle do you look at to seek agreement, the latest candle or the candle before that ?

what tp / sl do u yourself normally use ?


regards

I am ever so pleased to see the Rsi trend ea proving useful. For sure, it is a boon to me.

This is just to remind everyone not to rely on it; it provides a good warning that a tradable trend might be in place but that is all. When it presents a trend signal, this still needs checking manually for accuracy.

lg's use of Rsi is a visual thingy. Visual thingies cannot be coded into ea's, so it has to have certain assumptions programmed into it. There are times when these will be false.

It is pretty good, but not perfect so bear this in mind.

Thanks again for doing this Steve. I am enjoying it very much and like that the pairs can be grouped.. as in all USD pairs, all GBP pairs, etc. I like that especially because we can compare at a glance whether or not a particular currency is taking a beating, or giving a beating. I agree that direction still needs to be checked visually.

Thank you SH for your great job.
Pleas may you add the Monthly period to your ea. Not for the trend-spotting decision process only for visual aid.
Thanks.

Thanks.

I recall LG saying that this method can be adapted to shorter TF ... is there a way to code the EA to work on 1H, 4H, and Daily frames, instead of (or in addition to) the 4H, D1 and W1? Can it be made flexible so that the trader can select either of those 2 setups?

MANY Thanks Steve and LG.

Summary of requests for Steve's ea:

Add more tf from M5 to Monthly, make it a choice in inputs
Option to make font larger
Any way it can read strength of individual pairs only?

Can you also make it tap-dance?

regards
whatfx...The 4 and 6 are the imaginary numerals on a clock face. The slope needs to be somewhere in between the 4 and 6 to be a strong down move, just a bit past the 3 but not yet pointing at the 4 would be considered a weak down. Just a bit on either side of the 3 or pointing right at the 3 would be considered neutral or flat.

The slope is the only thing this methodology takes into consideration, the RSI values are meaningless with this method. You could have two bars reading 97.5 or 12.25...either one would reflect a neutral reading as the slope would be horizontal, towards 3 if you will. If two consecitive bars have the same RSI value then the slope will be horizontal , regarless of what the value is.

Please look at the image.

The attached is an EA and so goes in your Expert Advisors folder.

It attempts to give an at-a-glance view of the trending status of the pairs you wish to trade. The 'Trend' col will show up/down if all three tf Rsi's are heading in the same direction. If not, it will show 'flat'.

There are a few things to consider:

Hi Steve,
would it be possible to release this EA as an indicator? I am already running an EA at the moment.
Thanks a lot

More and more to read every time I come to this thread.. LG it's really taking off

Missed out on two trades I was waiting for yesterday... I still havnt learnt my lesson! Must use limit orders!! Anyone take the following off of those channels (screenshots)?

Wont be looking for as many trades for the rest of the week (had a good day yesterday) so maybe a few small trades if I feel my bias and analysis are strong and I see the stars are lining up

In saying that the AUDCAD is up the top of a small 30pip range it's in at the moment. Will keep an eye out for a breakout
