Hi ConstantFX, it's another one. Attached below.

Attach to charts.
Drawn your line (trend or horizontal) as normal then double click.
On common tab on description line type:
Alert_ and number of pips away from line u want alert. ie if u want a 5 pip warning type Alert_5 if u want 20 Alert_20 etc
Note the "A" of Alert must be capitalised.
(See pic below)
I don't use the email option so can't help with that.
Nice Indi. Ph22 but when the price reach the trend and give an alert, it does not give the alert anymore ? And the description line ex: Alert_20 is gonned after it as been trigerred.

Is there any think I can do that it will give back an alert on that trend line later ?

I'm still in this pair..up about 75 pips.
Hi Lawgirl,

Can you clarify why you waited so long to go long on this one? I see it had clearly broken out for numerous 15 m candles before you went long. Were you waiting for a particular amount of consecutive long 15m candles?

Thanks.

As above, also curious to know I tend to get in too early/late.

Thanks

My interpretation - I imagine LG exercised caution till that little red candle gave way to the next green one.

Hi Lawgirl,

In relation to the current topic of BO 4C 1H Trades:

1. How do you determine which Pairs are valid BO trade candidates? If I draw S/R on every pair, every pair will eventually breakout. What discretion do you use to avoid trading all pairs every day at the start of a trading day? From the first post, I take it that you should only look at pairs that are moving sideways with no real trend during the first 4 1h Candles. Correct?

2. In regards to whether to trade a BO or not, there seems to be a slight disparity between the OP and the recent posts. In the OP, you say to verify W/D/4h/1h RSIs for directional bias and only trade when all agree. However, I believe in recent posts you mention that only the 4h/1h are truly important. Can you shed some more light on which is the more sound method for trading a BO?

Thanks again

Lots of pairs have been in consolidation for the past 4-6 hours, after nice move ups. Consolidation trades are about my favorite type of set up. Be on the look out for them.

On a retrace. May turn into a ZC trade.
That is exactly what this pair did. A ZC trade is a what I just dubbed a Zorro Continuation Trade (as in the mark of Zorro!) Breakout in trend direction --> Pull back (reversal) --> Continuation in original direction.

Definitely watching this one. It'd be great if you could keep me in the loop about when you would get in and why.

I also went long on AUDUSD and then zoomed out Rookie mistake!! Got out at BE though... Definitely interesting to watch though What would it take for you to go long there? A couple 15 m closes over 1.0000?

This was interesting..an 8 Tap set up. I wouldn't get in this trade on this set up now as there is a big resitence area coming up, Still...an interesting set up.

A nice 3 Tap set up and trigger. Good for over 100 pips.

I watch them all. But this pair doesn't catch my eye for anything but a channel trade right now. We really can't tell in which direction it will end up going.

Would you mind clarifying what makes EURUSD look like a good opportunity but not GBPUSD?

Thanks.
