Thanks Pete.

I am using XP and could not find a separate vol slider for MT4 in my control panel/sounds and audio devices.

I thought that I should be able to tun off the alarms using the Inputs of the indicators.

Bagged a couple of pips on the Swissy but jumped at price hitting the upper TMA line. I thought there may not be much in it since entry was at the middle band. The penny then dropped-look at the consolidation prior to price shooting north!

Or, if you have other alerts as I do, make sure you have both TMA and RF alerts off.

Should do it.

I am being distracted by all the alarms sounding.

I thought I had turned them off, but obviously I'm missing something.

Could someone please help and tell me what I need to do so I can live in silence and search for the setups myself?

Thank you

Di
There is an alarm on TMA and Retracement finder turn them off by putting alerts on false. The system alarm are part of the setup not a distraction.

I Was able to get some more pips, my trade manager stopped me out. I dont always have the time to sit in front of the screen. With this trade, after entry, I went back to the family and had some fun..I was able to get 8 pips and 5 pips from an AU trade as well. Im up 23 pips now. Have to work some more on the TM settings because I could of squeezed a little more out of both trades. Now, dont get wrong here, when I have the time, I will be in front of the screen scannning & closing the trades myself. So, this system really kicks As_! I knew the correct entry, which is key, entered, and walked away! Thats what Im talking about!!! This was live, not demo.

Dan


Update: Forgot to mention that I usually dont trade this session..

I have noticed that there is alot of chat about different ways to change and or modify the system which is already proven and plainly laid out.

The problem with these theoretical changes is that they are unproven and untested.Markets change as the interest rates change and there is a transfer of money from one currency to another based on the best rate of return

.What I have laid out has worked in yesterdays market,today's market and will work in tomorrows market.

I keep a open mind to new ideas but for the sake of not confusing those new traders...
Totally agree with you Kevinator. Why want to fix something which isn't broken? It seemed that some people are still looking for that Holy Grail of a system which doesn't exist , anyway, except in the mind.

hello, kevinnator:

Thanks for sharing. It is a good system.
I am not always looking at the screen but I still get 25 pips from later entry of kiwi short.
Now close it and go to airport for a business trip.

In the weekend, I paid some time for the EA based on this trading system. It does not bring a good result by backtest due to the MTF stochastic repainting.

When the stoch is above 20 or below 80 do you get a better result? I notice PA can sit there for some time.. Also, how about when PA is at the top of TMA or the bottom ? Thats the most secure trades...Forget about the MTF for a second and study the RTF & TMA, what happens then? Keep us posted, would really like to know the study...

I wouldn't have taken it because there was a signal when the price was nearer the bottom of the TMA, the one you are talking about was just over half way. If I can't catch it on the first signal I would leave it for a better signal.

EDIT: I meant to say the time of day comes into it as well, European markets (only a few are open this morning) hadn't started yet so unlikely to have the volume to push to new highs.

Sorry, i cant see where or if you took a trade? I also cant the the TMA bands.

just out of curiosity, do you have a few THV indi's on there too. just my personal preference and im assuming kalvinator might agree, but too many indis create confusion.

Thank you for your view. I've taken the trade earlier as I'm seeing prices is getting Higer Low and middle of TMA is now becoming support.
i'm putting my stop loss @ 1.43300 and now targeting 1.44000. Now @ +15 Green pips, stop loss moved to breakeven

I would not consider the Eur/Usd at the moment as it has been ranging all day.

How did you arrive at your decision to go long?

Your chart seems very "busy" with other indicators on it that are not used by this system. I wonder if this is confusing you.

I personally believe it would be easier for everyone if charts posted only contain the indicators of the system and if people wanting help with their decisions posted their comments about how they arrived at their decision to trade rather than just asking for a decision to be made for them.

There's a few bank holidays today to consider if nothing more than to allow for patience in your trades.
