I'd send you a private message but appearently you have turned off that function. I can only imagine why. Phillip has started a trading journal and you are more than willing to keep track of his trades for the next year. Watch his trades and see if it meets your standards and then comment after a year. His post is approx 2 pages back and lists his thread which you can click on.
I simply don't understand why you keep popping back up. I can only assume you are an unsuccessful trader and need to take out your frustration on someone or something. My...
you always don't answer my post contents and distract us about generic talk about how this is great system, I posted just one example of a continuation trade that isn't listed the list he had on the other system, you know the system, correct ?, so tell me why you this trade wasn't taken although it is a valid one, my answer is that all the results he talk about are in hindsight, he tries to make the system look good to sell it to make money, if his system is already that great then he doesn't need to sell it,
so answer my post about why that trade wasn't taken, of course the answer will be some fibo and candle patterns and other staff which isn't mentioned in the system, or about the magic answer about market rhythm,
I'm trying to save people money, they have to think it in a logical way, they have to imagine that if they have a system that makes them good money, will they come and post it here for free or even for money ?, or if this system is that great and it's 5 years old then why new systems comes every day,

and please answer my question about that trade

Because this is not "signal" system. Like you said "market rythm" is the key..and many other... You can choose trade which you take..not pc. You need to live in symbiosis with 4Hour MACD strategy that is answer... and yes for Philip Nel it is system which work for him, why not share trades or selling signal if he can make nice profits??...and also newbies can learn something...

Is there like a minimum pip range? For example I used to put like SL at 10-15 pips, and the same or higher TP. But very, VERY often, my prediction is right but the price fluctuates and goes to the SL, so I loose. I would have like 2 good trades out of 10!
So is there a minimum? like 30 pips or more? I know there is no rule but what do you do?

It's a mechanical system. Balance the odds and trade accordingly. Ultimately there is some subjectivity. Successful traders realise this so you need to consider confluence of price action, trendlines, support/resistance, round numbers along with fibos, moving averages and MACD. I suggest you check what a TC is and do some candlestick study. The 1600 candle is closer to a zero break, midway between two pretty clear round bottom / top signals. Shadows/wicks are important to note too.

great so it is a subjective system at the end, which means one using it can be successful and other one can fail, so please no claim that's it is a winning system since each trader will take and leave signals based on criteria that are outside the system

It depends which time frame you use... If you use 4H than 10-15 is toooo low. It also depends on your trading style, signals,.. minimum for me is 35(at optimal condition) but can be easily 50-60pips or more.Usually add SL over the last high(low), support, resistance and so. Check latest chart EURUSD and check attached my picture. I was too lazy to wrote there numbers RR in trend trades usually 1:2,1:3 ; I dont like trade against trend, but if I trade it then only RR 1:1.
I rather use PRICE levels than plenty of EMAs...for me is more clearly with price levels...but also can't take every signal(trade)... It easy to look back on chart and tell - here I enter, there will be TP and so... trading on the right side is fu**ing hard.

Accomodate position SIZE to your SL. NEVER accomodate range of SL to the possition size!!!!!!!!!!

Just watch charts, delete all indicators what you have attached, ZOOM OUT and One day you wake up and you will see things that you never see before on the right side of the chart

KEEP IT SIMPLE, simple&stupid systems are the best

Right.
First of all There is no TC signal on the 24/03/2011. Can you please post a picture so that I can see the TC pattern you are refering to. I am posting mine and there is no signal. It could be possible that I have missed out a signal but it still dont mess up my overall backtesting results. I am going to trade those currency pairs at the times specified for the next year so you can follow it if you want.

Secondly I dont sell this system at all and never will as I have given it free for FF and its members. You can check out my website www.phillipnel.co.za and see for yourself what it is all about and if I am selling this system. I havent made a cent out of this 4Hour MACD system.

Thirdly I was trading live in May2011 using the market rhythm and posted some videos about it on the thread. You can watch them if you want to and see it is not just about MACD signals but recognising the rhythm of people's decisions about knowledge they have..

Fourthly I have shared this system free because of the plenty systems advertised for $$$$$$ everyday in my inbox. I get more strategies advertised to buy in a day then the amount of trades I make in a month. Why new systems all the time. Because they dont work and they want peoples money. I have given a lot of the strategies on my website away for free as well. It is not all about making money selling strategies. There is a 5min strategy with live videos as I traded them 157 trades in 15months with 125 correct and 32 wrong. The gain out of the website which is not even more then 3 times my cost($100) per month are there to support my daughter in her youth ministry at a disadvantage kids primary school. It does not even go into my pocket. Maybe you can buy one and make a contribution to black disadvantage kids here in South Africa. Over 60% of the school kids does not have both of their parents looking after them due to disvorce, aids, etc. A lot of them lost both there parents through aids.

The 4H MACD Market Rhythm system is based upon human decision regarding there interpretation of news(information) they have and therefore it will be effective as long as there is people trading it.

What do you mean by 400 candle, 1200 candle and so on? And why does that mean that we should not trade?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but it eludes me, and I searched but found no explanation..
