Thierry, looking at your chart i would not have taken that trade on the 1h due to the resistance at 132.000 and the TDI crossed very high up towards the 68 area, i would want it lower.

I am long on this pair on the 4h time frame, that trade is +100 pips at the moment. Have a look at it on the 4h and see the cross is very low towards the 32.
I like the 4h instead of the 1h as i think it's easier to catch a good trending run.

Just my opinion though
Look at the daily, another 150 pips to the montly pivot line, could be do able

Another losing trade, TDI is going down.
Can't understand it, i see some people making easy pips, but i fail. Don't know why.
Amongst the other good advice given Thierry price has had 3 good legs up already from 1st signal given on 1hr chart. Stop should be below the last swing low also.

Best of luck.

Hi Nate,
I have this on my 'watch list' right now too. It looks like the resistance of late-April became support in early-June and so I am waiting to see whether it can start to break down below this. In addition, the TDI cross looks like it did a week ago, which was a false start. though there is a slightly stronger candle now.
If I see it open with a red candle tomorrow, then I’m probably in, as it’s a nice bounce off the 68 line

This trade was on my radar but i passed as i think price has been consolidating for a while with no real direction.
I have been checking the Daily time frames before entering 4h trades and this pair is easy to see it's consolidating without any real direction.
I hope it works out for you and it may well do it's just not trendy enough for me

I agree with your SL but i normally don't use TP unless close to S&R.

I've read the whole thread, but my english is not that good, so maybe i missed some details?

TDI cross (12-2 long, 4-6 short)
Confirm bij stoch
1 or 2nd candle for the entry.
Stoploss below swing low.
TP at SR of flat TDI.

And the basic stuff what we need with al systems.

Right?

I've been demo trading this strategy for 2 days now (1HR & 4HR), I've also ran a number of lab modes on historical data and so far I've very impressed with it's simplicity yet accurate entries when you follow the entry rules.
I've noticed though that quite often it will fake you out of a trade with a check mark and them resume the trend. By the time the check mark has formed it's given back a good number of pips and you may close out a trade with something like a 4 pip gain, yet it was up 20 pips at one point and then it will continue higher anyways.

Is there anyway to confirm a check mark/flat exit to help determine if it's a fake out or an actual reversal?


Thanks,

Lain

That is forex you. You cant have every pips. Any thing you are able to get positively, get it and wait for another chance.

I have been following this system on more than one thread on ff as well as on another forum -- all I can say is thank you BigE and company.

Using this system has brought my life back into order, although I love staring at charts all day, I can now have a life between 4H closes.

I have made many notes on the system, and each time I note something new, I test it out -- the best, by far, is the KISS -- simplicity is key!

Happy pippin' eh!
