Again, you are on the 1min chart, we use the 5min for setups.

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...
Duffy,

well do we have a system or not? If you need to use discretion to evaluate each and every entry I do not see the sense of the whole thing.

Please advise

cheers

What I'm looking at is the bar times at the bottom of your chart, 06:33 and 07:13 I have only seen those bar times on a 1min chart, otherwise on the 5min its always :35 or :40 etc but I could be wrong, just never seen it.

There is only 17 Candles from the beggining of the days, it is not possible for 1 min to have only 17 candles prior to my Long entry. Tricky, but Kevin method had improved my trding by 70%.
I will post detail later to share with everyone.

Meanwhile enjoy the pips fro GBP/USd and EUR/USD Long.

Thats great that its improved your trading, but rather than confusing people with different charts and timeframes wouldn't it be better to ask Kevinator if he minds them being posted first. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...81#post4684681

There have been loads of pips this morning and loads of signals off of the original system and yes I am long from the original system anyway.

First I want say sorry for showing some charts and indicator that is not with this strategy.

I tryed to delete them but cant do it.

I future I will only post chart according to the original Kevinator setup.

I hope you can forgive me for doing so.

Here is a setup I just finish taking with a 30 pip winner.


Kevinator sent you a private message.

[quote=kevinator;4676863]Look at the Tma.It is so overbought and the retracement indicator is getting lower and lower and lower.

After sometime using the system anticipation will come naturally.I want you to trade in higher gear than you are used to trading.[/quote]

That is Kevin's statement. Use the system ti the fullest and you will mex the pips.

Yes and that is understandable, but when you post in here you should post charts from the original system otherwise when you post a setup as you see it, someone else will then scan their chart looking for the same setup, they won't find it. At least if you're going to comment on a setup state clearly thats it is not the 5min chart you're working on.

Thanks for the question. It made me stop and think.

My comment was based on my individual circumstances. Knowing that there are trading opportunities galore for this system as it seems to be traded on major and minor currencies. My comment was based on how many open trades I could have based on my account balance allowing for margin requirements..............so I was "selecting" trading opportunities looking for bigger potential profits.

That was wrong. So what if a trade gives you 10 pips? It is all pip profit.

So now I've decided to look at it as though I'm standing at the bottom/top of the escalator and to step on and start moving when the opportunity (trade) is there.

I'm very much on "trainer wheels" with the system like a lot of people here.

Thanks again for making me think.

Thank you for your comment. forgive me, as am not trying to deviate too much from the system.

i will try to post chart in line with Kevin's method.

My apology to all, if my improvised system confused you.

Have a great trading day.

This one works, but the colour doesn't matter, just take the first up or down bar in the group.

So you're not entering on a magenta bar only?

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...
I second this post.

if I may add...
folks.. what has been laid out will bring more pips than what it takes... if you allow yourself to be scared of the negative pips, then you can do yourself one more damage, and that is to try to change up the original lay out by adding filters, indi's etc. I put it nutshell.. i hope it make sense to you.

The tough part of this system and maybe every other system is not the understanding of what is laid out but actually executing it.. in our case here is to be there for every signal... like Kevin said.. be present for every opportunity.. as simple as that folks.. if anyone does just that, success is guaranteed, period.
Follow the simple thing that is laid out and you will get your avg 100-200 pips a day... you doubt? ok watch Kevin.. some of the other good traders here and maybe myself.. believe and build your confidence based on what you see LIVE... that's what this thread does and I loved and its D reason i joined in.

just some simple words from your little brother..
(I hope you don't mind Kevin).


Dean


ps)
Now I am putting my game face on for this week... scan scan and scan some more baby... Let's do itttttttttttttt..

Here is alternative mtf stochs.You must input 60 for tf and settings are 14,3,3.
Hi,

the "default" settings are 0 for tf1 and 60 for tf2. Do you leave tf1 at 0 or is it 5?

Thx

here we go first trade of the week for me... not bad so far..
I could have easily taken +10.. but i like the setup so i intend to look for more and perhaps the break of the recent HH and see what it does there..
but the correct move was to take the sure +10/+15.. and move on to the next signal..
