Kevinator ,

Do you normally trade in London or NY sessions? and has anybody tried this during the asian session?

That's interesting but how?? The signal for buy, most of the move had already taken place

Short stoch is down, long stoch is up

In addition the range since the start of the asian session upto now has only been

Low 1.61504
High 1.61790

so about 28.6 pips

I am confused.....

It could also be the common mistake of people mistaking pips for points, that I could understand.

Who here has the whits to program this method into an EA? if Kevin agrees of course?

I for one could use a little mechanical help in the recovery of my account. Manually trading this method is GREAT but i miss seem to miss opportunities while scanning for others.

Kevin what do you think? would you agree an experimental EA of your fantastic method is a good idea?

First time I've felt like I'm the predator in the market not the prey!
Just need the discipline to follow the rules and not manufacture trades due to lack of patience.
Thanks again to Kev.
ps. do I have to be fat and rich or can I just be rich?

To me the market at open on a Monday is like a kid on a swing at a park with no friends to push him.
We trade the swings so have to wait for more kids to play and get the momentum going.
I am waiting for a perfect setup- cannot see one happening immediately.

Hello

It is the beginning of a new week.

We will focus on MOM trades and take some short term trades based on the mtf 60 stoch.

Trading officially begins at 12am est till 4pm est.

Latest update of the system is located on the first page under *latest update*.

Thanks to John for his indicator modifications and great coding work.

This week will be a profitable week as always and our daily goal remains at 200 pips.

Pairs to trade eurusd, gbpusd, eurjpy, audusd, usdchf, usdcad.If you understand the system and are comfortable then trade what you wish but I recommend the previously stated pairs.

Have the charts open at 12am est and stay focused scanning for MOM trades with the persistent determination of a man or women on a mission.

200 pips is a easy goal if you continue to scan and take the trades as they come.Do not imagine a reversal...let the system and the market put you in trades.Do not exit prematurely, exit at the predetermined point which is the bottom or top of the TMA or if you get a large enough move.

Absolutely do not give back the profit you have made after price has crossed the TMA...that will be your breakeven point.

Take this seriously...act like you want that house...you want those cars and that cash.Relentlessly hunt down these trade setups enter and exit with profit.Your daily goal is set at 200pips.

That is odd, my 240 stoch is down! My settings are at 10.3.3. I assume it has changed direction over the course of the hour or so...

Hi Pedross

GAP openings play havoc with indicators - especially multi time frame ones.

On Sunday/Monday especially after a gap I would wait at least until one 4hr bar has closed

Regards
John

Alerts on current simply means it will check values for the current open bar, otherwise it will check the last closed bar.

However if you use the Kevinator indicator then you don't need to have the alerts on the TMA, as these are already incorporated.

John

Thanks John for your speedy reply. I'm using Kevinator2 and I cannot find any alert settings, I'm quite sure it is the latest version.

Do we stop trading at 200 pips if achieved or is this a personal choice? what is the recommendation if any?
