Thanks for the replies. Its more likelythe indicators as my machine is reasonably tidy.
The problem is that the indi's are 'custom' indi's. Custom indis invariably consist of calls to standard indi's.

TMA With Distance, for example, makes several calls to other indicators. This happens at each tick over several charts. The system uses three custom indi's, so the cpu takes a hammering.

Mostly this is not a problem, but becomes one if you have much more going on in the background.

The solution is a brand-spanking new computer with the latest mega-memory and cpu that will blow a hole in warp-space.

No, I haven't got one either. Hey ho. I restrict myself to the 5 charts recommended by Kevin, so my machine keeps on running.

this is a perfect example of a trader that is lost in threads...

this chart and post is irrelevant to this thread..
i am not going to even explain it.

don't be offended but you left me no choice..
These charts are extremely relevant now lets add the next chart that shows the signals from this thread. Sorry your trades were losers just pointing out true PA. Wasn't trying to offend anyone. For the new traders you can't take trades off the signals alone have to understand PA a little. Now the 3rd chart price at top of tma and hitting bottom of the price it just broke and down she goes and entry would have been the RF signal text book short.

Hi,

USD/CAD looks like a possible setup for short?

yes i spotted that i got too eager and entered on a quick down rf bar appearing, i pulled out at -11 pips, now waiting for it to go higher maybe for rentry?

also take a look at eur chf for a possible long?

i think you're right. but asian market really doesn't shift the candle stick as much as they do during the US market. Think I'll just sit out for asian market.

oops i should have waited for the rf bar to appear before I enter. Guess I was too eager and entered once the price touches the top of TMA

Hi,
I have been reading and looking at the system, however, it seems to really slug my machine. Doers anyone else suffer this problem i.e. slow performance.
Steve, I am experiencing the same problem. This system seems to use a large amount of my CPU power; up to 80 or 90%. It's a hog but have several successful trades with it, so far.

i have 6 mt4 loaded up 2 fxpros and 4 alparis, one of which is my live account, i do notice cpu slowdown etc, they all use hell alot of resources, but i dont really notice it as my comp is more than capable power wise.

now i understand the 4hr being different for some people coz of timezones on brokers, but my 1hr is showing down on eur usd

ah that would explain it. i started off well, but losing quite alot of pips past couple of days, i must be making some beginner errors somewhere.

Im in a long aud usd which is around 8 pips in profit, aiing for upper band

update - audusd now down to 1pip profit only, what do u suggest bail out or wait?

your AU trade looks to have the same problem my EU trade had (updated the previous post)

unable to hold the break of the middle line

this where you must decide to hold or let it stop out

though if you look at the 4h stoch, although up there has been next to no movement in the last hours
