Hi Holister--All of the TLs you drew are correct. None of them are wrong. Much depends on when you arrive at the pair. The order for focusing in on a pair is first, the 3 TFs in confirmation, then look for set ups.

Look at your bottom left chart..yes, the trade has already occurred, and it was a profitable one. In that case, adjust the TL by moving the line from your bottom first tap...is there a reentry? No, not yet and there may not be...move to another pair, at least for the time being.

There are no correct and incorrect TLs (as long as you...
Another very easy tool to do that and also very easy to mark of areas your talking about is Jing. You'll find it here, the free version is plenty. Makes nice and clean charts imo.

I cannot figure out how to get a chart from clipboard back to post directly here. Almost did it above-- now can't figure it out again.

Hi LG I have been playing with it also and i use either the history button which is in the center or use the save feature after you capture it and save to desktop, that way I can find it for posting and also delete it once its used

If your using jing, as said above, just go capture>capture image>save(not share via screenshare) and save it an easy place to locate it again on your computer.

Then its just normal posting via attachments on ff.

Dont know if that was what your having problems with though

you will need to save the image first, edit it (add words/lines/marks) if needed, save again, and then call the final image from FF to attach.

don't think it possible to post directly from clipboard ... or am i wrong?

recommend avoid the bit map (xxx.bmp) format to post to ff as the size gets too large. choose png or other.

Thanks SB. I was following Jing's instruction, I thought.. and saving to clipboard and then trying to pull it off of that....saving to desktop is much easier.

Thanks for the help toppo. I think you are right about posting from clipboard...at least I couldn't figure it out. Saving to desktop is simplest.

great you finally managed it, LG!

i trade BO following the line chart (MT4) or the average price (OANDA) with consistent success.

adding the 3 taps would enhance my trades. now experimenting drawing trend lines on line chart but straight lines are difficult to fit on the close price. wish there were a curved line available to get fitted. by drawing a few trend lines closely nested or a single, very bold line may be a solution.

and i shouldn't forget to mehtion the RSI(3) on W1 looks good for my current BO trades. thanks for the inspiration.

anyone help me show weekly RSI(3) on OANDA, which has D1 chart max. would RSI(15) on D1 close enough? 5 days a week, 3 times is 15... i know it's a snap to open a MT4 and use gspe's indy and trade on OANDA, but would be nice if this could be done.

Greetings LG,

Ran across your thread first of the week but didnt have time to read it all until today.Slow day at the firehouse so i read the whole thread. Great system i look forward to implementing it. I have been trading for about three years and like most traders i have spent $ on systems,indicators, signals and the famous fapturbo and other bots which was a bad thing. No more automated trading for me.

As a career fireman i enjoy helping folks and it seems that you share the same enjoyment with your thread. I hope you will keep up the good work, one never knows how many lives get touched with good information.

Best Regards,

Hi Pure Price,(and who ever else can benefit from this) I threw together a simple Excel spreadsheet that will keep track of your Daily, weekly and yearly progress on your quest for Pips. All of the highlighted areas need input , the red shaded areas need a negative number to work correctly (ex. -10) the rest are formulas with protection on them. To change any of these values you need to turn off the protection. Please refer excel questions to Google so we dont clog up this thread with a lot of excel questions. I hope this helps or at least gives you a start till you find something better.

How does someone keep track of all pips earned/lost? Do you write down every trade that you enter? When you say"pips"? is that assuming one lot per trade or are you multiplying by the number of lots? Would it be easier to keep track of money earned as all you would have to do is starting balance at start of week, and end balance at end of week (maybe everyoen can trade just one lot per trade) ... I don't really have the answer to this one, just tryign to see if there is a consistent way to report this number. Cheers.

lawgirl: In post 3145 you show a Gj 4h BO short which is against the weekly rsi3. I'm reading into this that it is just an example; and you rarely, if ever, no need to, trade against the weekly rsi3. However, in this case, it ran for 100+ pips as the Gj tends to be very very volatile.

Any comments you have that might help me think this thru? I was tempted to take either the attached 4h 3 tap or the 1h BO long trade after this BO short which paid well. Like you said in another post earlier this week you prefer to trade with the weekly rsi3...just looking for any clarification you might wish to help me with.

BTW I use jing to post and save pics to my documents temporary file so I don't have to delete them on desktop. They are automaically deleted whenever I run my pc cleanup utility...kool!

Hope your weekend is absolutely wonderful!

Steve

Look at the same trade on a H1 chart with a 15 sma on it-----nothing else. That is what I call naked trading.
