batata, when price came to the previous swing low and u had divergence on the rsi, you need to get out--a tip from div that he uses to manage trades, also looks like it could have been a counter-trend trade, seems that once it broke 9490, before ny session, it was in an uptrend
When price hesitated I should have gotten out, always learn something.

Hi RCWSO

In your pdf file, you mentioned trading hours for both UK and US as GMT 1230-1530. If I am correct, Div suggested GMT 00-1800 for Asian and GMT 1400-1700 for US... please clarify

Cheers.

Yes I certainly will, but I'm still working on it. I don't want to post some semi-finished thing. Somebody might want to use it on a real account, after proper testing of course. It's something quite different to make a tool working for yourself then making something ready for public use. Moreover, I'm not a coder and this tool is the first and probably the last thing I code ;-). I think it will be ready within 2 weeks of now. As I mentioned, I'll open a thread in the Platform Tech section for it as I love this thread for concentrating on the method and staying clean of any techie stuff (indicators, EAs) like no other here on FF. The EA won't trade for you and it won't make you a better trader. I find it very helpful for myself and can't imagine trading short timeframes without it, but it won't be for everybody; it changes the way of working with MT4. Please refrain from any questions about it here in this thread; wait for release or PM me, thanks.

Gentlemen,

Attached please find a setup I would like confirm/discuss.

Suppose that we don't look at trading hours... There was a bearish div on EU which did trigger a bit... What would you do if you got such a trigger bar? I did not take it... I thought there would be some more downward movement to come even though we're in an uptrend.

Do you feel comfortable to take trades after divergence triggers for countertrend?

Thanks in advance.
