It's been a squirrely few days for trading... Here is a trade taken on the 15 min chart. The reason I exited where I did was I had hit the 68 line going long and I wanted to go back to bed so I just grabbed what was laying on the table...

I thought you said you only trade 1H and 4H TF? Why 15M this time.

Vic....

Depending on the amount of time I want to trade I'll cruise the charts in all timeframes... a little variety but 1hr and 4hr are my main charts...

It's just after lunch my time (12:45pm Pacific Time) and I am looking at the 1hr charts... There are beautiful long trades on e/u, a/u, g/u (3 amigos) and a/j, e/j. Hope someone caught them...

Hi Big E,

Those were definately some good trades. My demo account got killed today on some quick reversals on 4HR charts.

Got a question thought on the E/U trades you just mentioned (the others are all the same too, a/u, g/u, ect.).
The cross didn't happen until the 2nd color change bar.
So if you wait until it closes to confirm the TDI cross, you'd be entering on the 3rd color change bar.
Isn't that breaking the 2nd color change bar rule?


Thanks Big E. Glad to see you back in action!

Evening all, although saying that, no one acknowledged me last night on my two pointers, anyway just thought I would say i think anyone trading anything to do with the euro today was either a nutter or brave. Bagged just short of 200 pips last night (whilst I slept) last night on GJ because of something I saw. This system is starting to work for me but i feel i am trusting it too much (no disrespect intended) - if ya get me. Sometimes something just stands out, believe I have spent a lot of time WATCHING charts and I think systems are great - but a bit like sat navs - it never hurts to have a good old printed road map in the glove box , next to a gun and a flask of hot coffee. If anyone wants to know I have a little gem of a thing I started doing this week and its helped me a lot. - always learning wm ps gla

Hi Traders, I jumed into trading this system quickly after feeling ready paying not too much attention to the reputation and quality of the broker I chose (my first one). Now I have read and heard some things that have caused me some concern. I have also noticed that often the spread is widened on me after I hit the button to open the trade. I am with Forex.com (Gain Capital). Does anyone else trade through them and can anyone tell me if they are a reliable and safe broker with which to work and trade. any comment would be appreciated. Also could you recommend one that is good for someone on the west coast usa. Thanks

How are you - can't comment on that broker personally, and don't want to promote the few I use but stick with the biggies I say. I have had issues being spiked out in the past and I have complained and got my money back, because the spike out didn't appear on anyone elses charts. As for spread widening on trigger, hmmm know the spread and be careful. I thought that happened to me a couple of time, but it ended up being me. No implications. You have to watch brokers and posters alike - trust me on that one
