Hi

Is this what you were looking for instead of the HA candles?

It gives you 4 time frames of the ytg_DveMashki_ind_w_Signals indicator.

Maybe use it instaed of the SA indicator.

The four shown from top to bottom are Wk, Daily, 4Hr, and 1Hr.
If someone could tell me how to add the period Labels after each one I could do that.

The screen shot below is a 1Hr so it would match up with the last row of lights.

Also if anyone is interested I am using a sixth indicator that uses a fixed number of bars, so you don't have to have your screen size set to the right number of periods. I am using 150 bars at the present time.

I may have found a small bug in the indicator causing it to give false readings at times. When you change between time frames the lights are then again correct. I have made a change in the code and am presently testing it, will repost when ready. For now, just change between time frames to check for the correct lights.

I should have tested it more before posting.

Hi Greg and All,

This is my first post here in FF. I have been lurking here for 3 months already trying to test strategy that fits my personality, from price actions of james16 thread to NB 4H counter trend strategy and now here in NB trend trading.

Forgive my ignorance (im a newbie) but I am not able to successfully paint a picture in the canvass with your "enhancement" of the NB strategy and hoping that you could create a noob-friendly Rules in trading your method.

I am able to setup the charts already but I am kinda lost as how to understand their meanings yet. I've read your well-thought explanation but I couldn't still lay the rules combined on a piece of paper.

Thank you so much and please bear with my English.

Regards,
karim

Here are two indicators you can use if you like. The first is the ytg_DveMashki_ind_w_MTF_HIST_v2
which I believe I fixed the bug in, give it a try if you like.
The second is a modified sixths indicator. In this version you enter the number of bars back you would use in the H4 time frame (120) and when you change between different periods the sixths lines will stay the same and not change. You can also zoom in or out and they will remain the same.

Hey Bob, if you're still looking in from time to time, I was wondering why you use a 5MA shift 5 on the H1 but a 8MA no shift on the H4? I have been testing my own EA starting with the EurUsd and it showed a 3.5% gain from 1/1/11 to end of March, but when I started the test from 1/1/10 till March, it posted a total loss of 8%. Perhaps some other currencies posted offsetting gains during that time but I haven't gotten that far; it's slow going. I also wanted to try testing on different time frames, but want to understand your thoughts on the trigger MA period choice, so if I wanted to move up to the Daily or down to the 15 or 30.

Sorry, I've been missing of late. I've just not had the time to sit in front of my computer very much for the last week. In fact I'm thinking about attempting to trade the 4-hour chart because my time has been so limited and I keep missing 1-hour entries.

Karim.
Bob's entry rules are still the rules. The extra indicators act as filters just as indicators are supposed to do. The only extra "entry" rule I would add is that the mashki indi should be blue as it crosses the 5x5 on the rise and red as it crossed the 5x5 when it falls. That's the hard and fast rule I would add. The rest of the indicators are supposed to help you filter out so-so and low percentage trades.

For instance, if PA crosses the 5x5 going up but the following are also true:

1) TMA is sloping dramatically downward -or-
2) TMA angle indi is dark blue headed down or red and headed down -or-
3) Swiss Army is showing all red -or-
4) It's extending above the top gold line of the sixths indicator

THEN

I'm going to think long and hard about entering that trade. These things don't signal trades...they tell you that you might want to stay out of the trade. But the absolute rules about entries from Bob are still the same.

I will tell you this however. I'm starting to believe that the actual slope of the TMA is very significant. If it's sloping down...then being bullish is very risky or will at the very least be a very short lived trade. I would never presume to change Bob's rules...he's the forex scholar around here but I'm thinking about including the slope of the actual TMA as a personal entry rule of mine. It might already and i've just forgotten or missed it.

The 8 MA smooth on the 4H chart is equivelant to the TMA line so I use it instead of the TMA on the 4H chart. My reads on the 4H are different than the 1 H. I getting some good candle rules off of the 8MA as my decision maker. More on that at a later date.

Okay. I've finally gotten into the game this week. Not a great start but a start nonetheless.

1. below the 240...so going short
2. didn't quite reach the top line of the TMA but fairly close
3. swiss army down on daily, 4hr, and 1hr
4. TMA slant is neutral
5. I also liked the angle on the PA cross of the 5x5

It moved over 40 pips but the spread was around 10. Would have stayed in but I'm exhausted and have to sleep. I think I'll start using the 1.0 take profit screen from now on.

The TMA angle indicator, too me, is not as good as just evaluating the angle (or slope) of the actual TMA yourself. But I did find this indicator. The key seems to be the cross of the slow line and/or the zero line. When the fast crosses the slow right at the zero line this seems to be a very strong indicator. Also the fast line can also act as a filter if it doesn't cross. See the examples.

**** Also on another note do not use the swiss army mashki...there are some problems that seller9 is working out.

Hi,
I was wondering if you have a final template version of Bobs 1.0 trend system. It looks great but I am confused which indicators are the final.
thanks in advance.

Bob's final version is on page 1. What you see in these last few pages are the "tinkerings" of myself and a few others and it's a work in progress.

Thanks Seller! I think that's it. I love being able to see this info on my screen. If trend is everything in this system...and it is... then this indicator tells us at a glance what the trend is on the other TF's. Thanks again.

On another note...this looks like it COULD be an entry soon.

1. Below the 240
2. TMA is sloping down
3. Upper TMA line has been hit.
4. 5x5 is above the middle TMA although not by much
5. CCI headed for the slow and zero line.
6. Both the HA & mashki Swiss army says trend is down.
7. Not to mention the dollar is so weak

I'll be watching this one.

Had to go so I closed this trade...thought it might get to previous lows or the bottom line of the sixths. I cant find a profit taking EA that I like so I just close them manually. Anyone have a favorite profit EA?

I currently using this with 15+3 protection system for 4 weeks.
However, I'm struggling should I stop using 15+3. As I get high win rate. But lose in terms of $$$
