********Read the first page for the rules**************************

Maybe it is your broker but system and template loaded fine on my broker.

Sometimes I take trades without mtf stoch direction.Usually retracement off way overbought or oversold conditions TMA.After eying trades for hours on end you can anticipate some conditions.

Thats not a very wise idea , this may work sometimes , but TMA Bands are repainting very much , like the CoG they show perfect results in hindsight .

I added a non repainting TMA version so that you can compare

Not as far as i know, this was already discussed if i remember well.

But the TMA Bands does, this is guaranteed (just check Nanningbob's threads): they are 100% true if looked in real time, but overfits the past.

If you wanna do some backtest try the TMATrue indicator, that is an honest one

Interesting thread by the way, it's not really my trading style but i like it, well done Kevinator!

Well Kevinator uses the TMA and at least one guy here was already taking trades of the TMA Bands only , so its better to inform the people that this indicator repaints allthough it isnt an essential part of the strat

Every trade you see in this thread are from sunday 5pm est until right now the trades which I am currently still in aud/cad/gbp.So if you can count for yourself and see how many that equals.

I trade when I am awake morning noon and night although if you are just beginning I would recommend london newyork session as it is fast paced.

TMA--If you have been trading long enough you will notice that almost every mt4 indicator will redraw itself in some way.

I know new traders brains just want to find that one indicator to use as a standalone.Unfortunately this does not exist so we use a combination of indicators in a "system" to get around this problem.

Redrawing would be a problem if we just used one indictor but since we use multiple indicators it is not a problem.

Also our trigger which is retracement finder does not redraw only the magneta does not refresh once loaded.I have been using it so long I dont even notice I just take the first bar up or down and keep it moving.

Hi kevinator,

I like your system. Are you on demo only or do you trade on live account with this system, too?

Could please explain a little more how you would set the stop loss and exit your trades?

Thank you.

I don't usually go to forums and do my own trading most of the time but some days I will stop in and do some live trades for the whole session.

You must figure your own stoploss and take profit.I sometimes take 10pips and sometimes let trades run for 150+ it all depends on the time of day,session, and whats going on.

I am not trying to manage your money I am trying to put you on better trade setups in order for you to be successful.

Is that a customised Stochastics you're using? It looks much smoother than the standard indicator

Thanks

I do not like the CCi as a trigger I think it looks to messy although the rest of the system looks good.

The gold is the original of my system and I also have prototype #2 which I have posted on other forum.

I did not want to release it yet for fear of confusing traders.It is too early as they have not absorbed the information on post 1.

Hi Kevin and all..

I got this one live going on as it was a pretty good setup..

I tried to get confirmation on two setting in your stoch indy... (60 red and 240 green)..

would the combo confirmation give a better success ratio (hit ratio)?

Thanks.
