Trading the Usd/Chf with the trend and have made 40 something pips so far. My question is how long do you guys wait before you set your stop to break even for a 100 pip or more run?
There is NO SET RULE....That is were watching the charts day after day pays off! Once it breaks other S&R (makes a new low or high) move SL to break even........even if it reverses it was a FREE TRADE!! What is even smarter is trading 2% of your account and once a 1:1 or 1:2 TP is reached closed 1/2 of your lots....THEN IF IT REVERSES YOU STILL MADED PROFIT ON A FREE TRADE!! If it keeps going you just added alot of money! Cut the losers and roll with the winners!!

what's the name of your indicator "can" in the corner ?
It's a multimeter for candle color. You can see the candle colors for all time periods.

Cool, Check

I caught the same trade. Closed half at about 40, and am letting the other half run.

You obviously noticed it too, , , identical signal on the H1 and 15.

Where did you get that multi-timeframe trend meter for your Tradestation platform? I'd like to get that.

I believe it is, (hrly new high sema so looking for short signal, which printed on the last 15 close) but as it's my 1st trade using your rules i'd appreciate confirmation
Hi Sidefx

You might want to have a look at post 677 by Beshakey, it's got a nice chart which explains it. You don't just look at the new H1 sema. It must also have a HH HL or vice versa, to get the trend...

Here's some of the text of post 677......

If I want to trade the 15, I look at the TF that is 4-6 times higher. If trading the 15, look at the hourly for the trend.

So, you go the the hourly and find the dominant most recent Big3. You know this, because it will be followed by HH HL for long trend or LH LL for short trends. (if the 4hr and daily are also all lined up, so much the better, and the greater chance of scoring pips)

Now.... go to the 15 TF and when you look back, you will find the corresponding BIG3. This is the one that should keep your steely eyed attention. ANY OTHER BIG3 FOLLOWING THE CORRESPONDING BIG3 ARE NOT SIGNALS, THEY ARE MERELY HH & LL'S.

This is a MTF stoch that came with my trading platform. I use it to help me identify the trend on all the other timeframes.

Is this EURGBP pair good example?
That one is an interesting example Dehyah. On H1 it was in a downtrend from the dominant 3 on 28 Jan making LLs and LHs. Then it's bounced up from the bottom 3 to its present position and didn't make any smaller HH or HL's in the swing up. It just went straight there. So because there are no HH and HL, the previous dominant 3 short on 28 Jan is still ruling. But because the current 3 has exceeded the previous red 2 swing high, its a sign to be aware that it may be thinking about changing trend.

I hope that passes the review board otherwise I'd better start ducking!

Currently long in EUR and short in CAD on M15 after fibo failed and in the trend direction with stoch crossings in the ob/os and with the closing of a red / green heiken ashi candle.

Lets see how it works out.

Thanks for your post. It was post 677 I was basing this entry from....lol....the hourly had printed a sema high (as per post 677 chart) and i was trading the 15 off lower lows from that high after a pivot break...that's why i was surprised by the post saying this was wrong....it seems clear that this is a retrace system as well as a trend follower, the beauty of it is the choice is yours. Sure, entries into the dominant trend usually give more sustained moves, but as a day-trader quick retrace scalps between the pivot levels are bread & butter. Thanks Dredding, for a great framework to trade within and make our own to suit personal trading goals.

Your trading platform looks like FXCM's Tradestation platform. Am I correct. If so, could you direct me to that indicator?

Thanks
