Flag trading the trend

hi, everyone.
Thanks a lot for this great thread.
Could anybody please help me understand about cci in this system? I find that in most charts in this thread, most signal bars have a cci >50(uptrend) or <-50(downtrend).
So, i'm guessing: The rule is: When uptrend cci closes above -50, and when downtrend cci closes below 50. Is that correct?

Thanks for your help.
I've read dozens of early pages and page 319,4779/4780. In fact I saved quite some charts and 4779/4780 rules to my hard drive. In my view, most charts are just against CCI rule. So I must have misunderstood something.

Your 3 charts are drawn clear, those just illustrated my question --- CCI, of both signal bar and entry bar, very often are outside of (-50,50) range.

Neo; the guidelines are printed somewhere, perhaps someone can direct you to the correct pages...

The SUB is the first bar to break back above/below, (long/short) the CCI +50/-50 line, after a retrace and the trigger candle must also stay above/below the line.

From my own interpretations as i have previously expressed, i require the SUB to simultaneously break the flagline with some momentum...

Here's the follow up to the post (5265) that i made on the 24th... I also printed this elsewhere;


and then - 21 Oct'11 - 21:48 - 427 of 433 http://images.advfn.com/imagesnew/twitter/tweet1.gif edit

Been expecting this for last two days, has triggered on the 2hr and 3hr but need a couple more points higher tonight for a 4hr trigger; positioned for it on the retest of the breakout earlier. Can't predict timescale or ups and downs between, but target is just shy of 14150 some time next week...

Hi Divergence/Cableguy and everyone...

Looks like I'm a bit late to this thread but have found it interesting so hope to contribute in the future.

I have made some flag trades this week and practiced using the M1 chart. So far so good however I am a bit concerned in using spot FX markets with scalping on low timeframes due to stop-hunting. I was thinking of using this with Forex Futures instead to get around this.

Are you guys using spot FX to trade this?

Attached revised version to correct typo.

Jeff, I've added at your suggestion times to trade based on Divergence's posts. It's qualified in that he does not trade the London morning session whereas a lot of people do. I've put in Sujith's observation that things quieten down after 10:00. I've read elsewhere that activity picks up again after another 90 minutes or so and I suspect that may be the case.

Probably the best advice is trade around the market open times if possible to catch the volatility and avoid the quiet times.
Could you let me know the definition of "signal candle"?

Heya Zane - welcome to the thread. Maybe send Diamond a pm and I expect he will assist you. It is never a good idea to post your email address on a thread for you are likely to be spammed. My suggestion is that you remove it.

I have attached two PDF files that I created. They contain the rules from this forum, webinars and other inputs for trend trading only. I have tried to keep it pure to Divergence's rules. They do not discuss divergence or 123 set-ups. One is a flow chart of the rules, almost like a checklist. The other one is a PowerPoint presentation that contains the details of the system with some pictures.

I have gone over this many times for errors. If you find any, let me know and I can modify as necessary. Read, use and critique as you see fit.

Had +80 on EU this morning from 3 shorts. Nice and easy when it's trending!

Do you guys simply use Divergence's rules for determining the trend? For example recent lh taken out for change up and a recent hl taken out for a move down?

Also at what point do you determine that the market is ranging and how do you get to that conclusion according to these rules?

Thanks
