Even if this candle remains small until close, price has run up so far and fast that I'd probably wait for another pullback then look for a new trigger candle.

Great trade... how is it that your 5/3/3 stoch is so smooth... I put a stoch on my 4hr chart and it is so choppy looking.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and believe me, there is a good chance I'm wrong)... But on this chart, the Stoch doesn't go under 40 until 4 or 5 candles after the candle you are mentioning. It doesn't look like a trade would trigger after the trigger candle I'm looking at, which is a good thing, because the price just dives shortly after.

Thanks in advance for any advice with this setup.

The candle you have circled is a valid trigger candle but the high of that candle wasn't broken within 3 bars so no trade. MACD was above 0 and Stoch was below 40. Even if the high was broken and you entered the trade, the loss would have been small since you picked a nice small trigger candle.

Love the system. Subscribed, but i wanted to ask you something, what do you do when you find a trigger candle but there is no confluence between the MACD and Stoch. ?

I like to wait for the pullback with the stoch. after MACD has crossed the zero line. You can get some nice runs however by trading the first trigger candle after a recent cross of the MACD if the cross was recent and price hasn't run up a lot yet. Sometimes you'll get burnt doing this because price has made it's run and is ready for a pullback.

HI Toothy. Just to let you know, I will knock together an ea for this sometime in the next week, if nobody else steps in first.

Thanks much Steve. Let me know if you have any questions before you start. There are a couple of things that would be nice to have adjustable like the stoch. lines and candle length. Would be nice to be able to adjust the TP method to test whether it's more profitable to lock in a 1:1 win when 1:2 has been reached. Or even just to TP at a certain amount of pips.

Hi Toothman,

Thanks for sharing your system with us all here.

My question is about G/J chart can this soon be a sell signal?

You've got it right! MACD above 0, stoch below 40. Break of trigger candle. Trigger candle short with small body.

Hi Toothman,

That would be a good trigger candle if it looks like that at the end of the 4HR bar. Then you'll need a break of the low of that candle within 3 bars to enter a sell. If Stoch moves below 60 by the time the break of low occurs, it's still ok to take the trade. If MACD would change sides of the 0 line ,don't take the trade.
