here is an example of a fail at pivot type of set up the only thing that prevented me from entering this was the fact that the 5 minute rope did not come down low enough for my liking...but this is an almost ideal set up....with a fail at pivot that we discussed earlier...about a 31 pip stop for about 184 pips...lol... but I DID NOT TAKE THIS ENTRY I'm just posting as an example for you to see...

Thanks a lot. you are talking about the R1 aren't you.

would that be enough for you - if I look at the pic - before it broke below and above the not sure how many pips. Actually in the begin of the chart was a similar situation (YELLOW DOT OF MINE: just looking at the pivot stuff) but it would have not worked out at all

well the test and fail is all I look for or for a nice solid breakthrough the pivot resistance level/support level but its the s1 level I'm referring to.....

I see.

Do you only take such if the MA stack is in the same direction: like in this pic UP

Or you also take it if the same pic, same pivot, same MTF STO - but the MA stack would point down?

at the yellow dot you marked...there was a test and fail at pivot but there was no stochastic set up at that pivot as the 15 was up 30 was up but the one hour was still oversold along with the 4 hour and that could be why it didnt work out...as price was not ready to go up with the hour and 4 hour oversold together

I would take the same set up if the ma's were stacked to the downside as in these types of set ups for me the ma's stacked are just an extra plus to confirm the trade but not necessary as I just need something for price to test and fail at as some support resistance when the stochastics show strength to one side....strength that with all the ropes in tune should be able to break through the ema's if they are stacked incorrectly.... (countertrend trades)

Yes and additionally the MA was stack for DOWN
well the ma was stacked for down in the next set up as well but it worked because there was the strength of the stochastics lining up correctly...

It depends which indi and what kind of chart setup.

I don't know all occasion when this happens but there are two very common one.

1. If I made a mistake in the indicator
e.g. the indi ALPmullin86Var1 and MTF MA based: ALPmullin86Var2 I had started for you (did not finish as I decided on the MasterALERT.)

at this at Var2 I got such error when LiveAlert was triggered. That was for sure a problem in my code which I would normally have to track down.

2. if you use MTF indi and there are not enough history data at times.

Often the easiest way to get rid of it (if the indi is overall ok) is to switch chart period back and forth or to restart the terminal.

3. like I said there surely other occasion such happen and I don't know ...
But I still prefer to catch most errors (even it is annoying) than just skip them and go on.

Of course a better way would be to handle such errors in my code better... working on it


Anyway, you would need to tell me which indicator it is and also a bit what you just did ... The exact error message 'cause most of the time I print out in which function it was catch...


So, no simple easy answer.. next time print the error which would be already some help..

Just for my own info pmullin, would you consider this a good CTT in the sense that the following conditions were met?

15,30,1hr stoch up
5 min rope up
Possible bsb trade??
Bounce and break of ma's

I did not trade it but interested to see if I am spotting them..


Edit: It would have went to 1:1.5 before eventually closing out at BE.

LOL are you in my mind or something haha...I was looking at this and almost took it but didnt like the one hour rope so I stayed out but it would have been a break even trade...and the 5 minute stoch was just above 65 level in addition to that...kind of high...

I'm not too sure how much weight I should put on this but I also don't like the sma's and the mtf ma's which the 15 minute 50 sma that I watch very closely is apparently flat in which at the entry I would have been entering right into the flat moving average off the 15 minute which I dont like
