Hi guys, just found this thread, looks interesting and profitable so far. I'm trying to find all the info for trading this system from all the pages in the thread, but i can't find one thing so far, what is the value of RSI? looks like default value to me from the screenshots but it doesn't match 100% to what i have on my screen. Cheers and keep up the good work

perfect rc it can be a little tricky at first but once you got it you got it lol
Now it makes sense. Better understanding on my part of that detail would have kept me out of that trade this morning. I would like to say that I would have taken the proper setup a few bars later.

div, when price goes above resistance , do you wait for a test of resistance to become a support before enter?

"I can see clearly now the rain is gone." Funny thing is that it is raining where I am at right now.

My new rules:
1. Take off the glasses (I don't actually where glasses but I will take them off anyway)
2. Step back from the chart (ie zoom out and sit farther away from the screen otherwise I will need glasses soon and I will need to return to step 1.)
3. Find the trend
4. Wait for the pullback
5. Find the set-up bar
6. Enter the trade
7. Manage the trade
8. Make money
9. Go back to step one and repeat

Fun times. Off to my real job. See you later today. Happy hunting.

If we get a setup bar and next candle doesnt trigger the trade and that candle is still above the 10 and cci is still above the 50 that becomes the new setup bar with the high of that candle being the new entry price now if the next bar doesnt get you in then no trade and back to waiting for a pullback just start sequence over again
i posted this few posts back, no answer, so using it again when u explain it here.
looks that if going by the book this would b no trade.
1st no entry
2nd no entry //not to make it science but it passed the 1st by 0.8,,,,but
neither the set up bar's low & 1st entry bar werent passed//
3 rd passed the low but the candle is 3 pips away from MA
= no trade
am i right?

14,140 held as support (previously resistance) so uptrend is still in place?
