thanks for your reply.

That clear things up for me.

And I am sure now, that what happen to me, was I simply missed the trade when it setup
I then looked at charts after 1 hour candles close and saw the step down.

But thanks for your help

regards

Peter

ok guys..

this is the two indies that i use which Kevin has offered and Mediator has add alert on them.. it works fine for me..

the RF indie.. was updated for alert sound and the shift for early entry could be at 0 or more secure or later entry at 1..

the stoach indie... time frame 60.. settings 14,3,3..


hope it helps,

oh I forgot.. over the weekend our valued contributer Mediator made thing easier for us when i asked of him to filter the alaram on RF indie... now it don't alert on every megnata bar.. it only alert sounds on the valid one.... but as i mentioned above if you set the SHIFT at 0 in calculates the immidiate momentum singals and if you se the SHIFT at 1 in goes based on the close of last hour...
i recommend to go with 0... that's what i do.

This system can be easily backtested correctly taking into account the repainting of the TMA indi and the "repaint" of the MTF stochs (which isnt really a repaint, the same thing will happen with all MTF indi's)

Simply use one of the many trading simulator EA's that are available, this will allow you to blast through a daily 5m chart in about 45mins and see the changes as they would occur in real time.

I personally use the LFH Trading simulator (which is available freely on this forum)

Simply looking at the charts of past times is not really backtesting anyway, the only way to truly backtest is to either forward test, or run the historical data forwards again (which is what most trading simulators do).

Y´all

there might be a good signal long on the EU in 10 -15 minutes from now.

will take that one

By the way, i have to say that I have a lot of problems with the system, especially with the entry timing. It is also hard for me to build up confidence as you cannot backtest the thing.

Will keep lurking around.

long near the upper tma band?
upper band or not... concentrate on the PA..
if you look PA has swing'd up nicely then has pull backed to lower band and resumed the direction.. on the first magneta bar I have taken it with both 60 and 240 stoach inline...
now you wanna sit and worry about bands??? lol..

fair

still, in your a/u trade, you bought near previous high...

buy low sell high... not the other way around..

i'm not criticizing, just giving my opinion.

Exit excellent from my point of view.

For me it is very difficult to get out with small loss.

You are experienced trader right?

not a problem..

my friend as i have already mentioned.. if it get a signal anywhere, where 4hr and 1hr stepping in the same direction I'll take that trade.. i disregard the band..
I see breakout happens out of overbought for more overbought and oversell for more over sell.. just look at G/U's last signal..

anyways that's also my opinion.

happy piping to all.

Thats what I did last week and regret it now, all my losses were when I went against TMA. Rethinking that mindset for this week, now several small winners this morning already.

Ive gone back to a clean Kevin Chart, none of my old indys that have been my comfort zone but lackluster in the past. Such a boat load of indicator and a head scratcher as to direction. Thanks Kev for the wake-up call...

Good trades to all, lets scan

dear helix,

I am a momentum trader with some years of market trading under my back... once its there I get in and once its not there anymore I get out.. i look for a take off after trigger, if it takes too long for PA to make up its mind and acts wishy-washy before it gets me into too much trouble i cut it's throat, move to the next setup and by god in this system there is plenty of opportunities.. so with a low avg loss it should be fine enough to dream as big as one wants.

cheers and happy piping to all

yep.. one has to know how to get out of such trades with no feelings attached what so ever, otherwise trouble arrives in a big way.

i don't regret what has been proven for me.. the winner out weights the losers.. but that just me and everyone got his own opinion.

that's right.. let's be present and scan baby..
