tempting to ride,
but it is 1 min chart.
So there will be many set ups...
In and out quickly..

The chart on the title page is pretty good.

Wait for an arrow, then look for the appropriate fractal.
An up arrow means to look for an up fractal on an up candle.

Down candle just the opposite...

Unclear?

Hi Jiva34!

Why not EMA5 and EMA21? You could earn some more pips.

@ jiva34

looking on your chart above: why do you enter only on the second candle after the signal candle ?

Hi............
Maybe more false signals for shorter moving averages.
10/40 more conservative...

price mode what price the MA is calculated on....price mode is 0=close; 1=open; 2=high; 3=low; 4=median (high+low)/2; 5=typical (high+low+close)/3; 6= weighted (high+low+close+close)/4.
for simplicity sake default price mode is 0=close.
Ma Mode is 0=SMA; 1=EMA; 2=smothed; 3=linear weighted; 4= least squares moving average.

signal candle is when an arrow appears
but entry is when the signal is confirmed by an appropriate fractal.

ok my fault, yes the signal candle is the candle with an arrow ... I mean: why do you enter only on the second candle after that candle with an appropriate fractal ?

this is the 1min and it's moving pretty fast some of the time. By the time the order is placed prices may have moved a bit.

fractals don't always appear right away. Sometimes they appear only after a few candles.

the most dangerous conditions are consolidations, or sideways or choppy markets... by waiting for the fractal it helps to weed out bad signals in sideways markets and catch a trending move.

This version of the system is new. I was trading a much more complicated version, with several indis, for several months.

I especially like this because of the risk reward. Stops are fixed. No guess work.

ok but the fractal may appear and dissaper . what about that?
  • #38
  • Aug 30, 2011 12:47pm Aug 30, 2011 12:47pm
no - any fractal will be fixed after building up ... that means: if the second candle after a max/min candle is closed - the fractal never will disappear.
