I made 90 pips during Asian period and 235 on Europe, using the traditional ES method with 30 pips SL for each trade and no target, closing all the trade after 4 hours period.

Hi IB, are you taking a trade from a 1hr set-up or 4hr,the reason I ask is you have your charts set at 1hr.If tradind 4hr don't you find your s/l to tight, (are you having quite a few loosers,i,e, not letting the market breath.

I'm curious, is anyone trying to build a template like mine yet based on my pix & info, or is everyone hoping and waiting for me just to post my template so they can copy it?

Has anyone tried yet?...
I probably can. But it would be really nice if you could put the template. Sorry if I am imposing it on you. Thanks

And also how you trade the New Template. Seems to me like you have a better grasp of this system.

I managed to build your template and got the middle one to agree with your figures.The other two are expected to be different depending on the time you took your snapshot.

I guess the biggest problem with any type of Basket System is the money management aspect. We can't just open 12 trades with no stop loss and waiting for them to be in profit and getting all exited about it. If we risk say %2 of our balance, this should be for the total of our open trades, not for each trade. I personally have not find am effective way to manage it. But I am all ears to listen to any suggestions.

OK guys, I see you trying to teach yourself, and that's the main thing. I believe in the whole "teach a man to fish" thing. I love helping people, but it only makes sense to me to help those that are trying to help themselves. Why waste my time on the lazy ones? Anyway, 2 templates attached.

Listen up guys, I want to make something very, very clear. I'm not attempting to teach you a system for trading. So don't expect that one is coming in a few days, because it isn't. Not from me anyway. Not any more than I've already laid out in any case. What I am hoping to do, is to better acquaint you all with the heatmap indicator. Because it is for me, without a doubt, the single best sentiment indicator I have ever seen in my life. I recently told a friend that if I had to stop using every indi and pick just one to use for the rest of my life, this would be it. I just can't stand coming in here to the very thread dedicated to the creation of this amazing indicator and realize that no one knows how powerful it is.

So that's why I'm here. To open your eyes to the possibilites of this heatmap. Once your eyes are opened, building a system of your own (or several) will be a piece of cake.

part two
I would guess that # 2 and #3 would be the indis you would base your basket trades off of correct? Since you said you are not scalping you would being looking at mid to longer term movements.

Another question about your baskets, dont think you mentioned this, but do you look to spread out your exposure at all. What I mean is not have too many eur longs, usd shorts etc..Kind of spread out the risk some what to guard against sudden reversals.

Also for money management a equity trailing stop EA might work well if you cant sit and monitor your baskets all day.

You also said you sometimes trim out some losing pairs from your baskets. Do you also add pairs to a running basket?

As for the templates, I dont use indicators often so Im not sure how to build a template. Guess its time to learn something new this weekend!!

FH, you just saved me some time on creating templates LOL. Ah gotta learn anyway..but thanks anyway.

Hey you are right though, no use posting a system. Better to create your own to suite your own style and risk tolerance.

Hi Tedge UK.
No my trades were based on 4h.
I like knowing what my risk are, 30 pips is enough for me to indicate that I am wrong and I take the loss, but trading the basket I probably would get some winnings as well to compensate.

Also I like the idea to trade the 4h setups that in combination with the daily.
I look at the daily CCFp as the filter and take the trades on the 4H if matched.

I also like the idea to place the trade and leave them for at least 4 hours, but
if you like to run a winning trade for longer time, place a 20 SMA on the 1H TF and once prices closes below it (for long trades) move your SL 5 pips below that candle.

Hope it helps
All the Best

I would say this could be pretty interesting way to trade now that I got the logic of it. Adding the method to analyze from different TF's, this system made it much better and more realistic.

Indeed, this is easy and takes one single indicator for a big job, very unique.
A successful trading depends on knowing what to analyze.

Could someone explain why the CCFp_v1.0.2.mq4 indi that ES Trader posted near the start of this thread and the CCFp-Diff_[v2.0] that forexhard posted (I think) are showing nearly exactly opposite indications?
