Took this trade long. At BE, waiting to clear 1.5560 to add further positions.

Let's see how it unfolds.

Hi

This is slightly off base, can anyone tell me how to change the colours
of the synergy APB Bars, and get them to stay different...

If i change the colours and save as a template they divert back to original
setting when i change the time frame etc.

Great thread, and thanks to eelfranz..

I think that you can change Synergy APB's but you will have to save the first chart that you change the colour in "Templates". If you want to put several charts on the same page you will have to use that template to load them and then save them as a profile.
I think they will stay the same colour then.

Hi - Get any Synergy APB.mq4 - MUST be mq4. Get from attachments at top right of this page. Open in Meta Editor and change any colours you like- if you have not used the editor before - it is dead easy. You just have to make sure the colour you stipulate is in fact an MT4 native colour. Save the changed file and compile and presto - they will never change again unless you go back in and edit the mq4

final break to the downside for eur/usd past hr. didnt hop on that due to some frustration with myself tis week.

have lost up to 200pips this week due to whipsaws and some not following of the rules.

As mentioned by tex_pn, lots of whipsaw today and yesterday (especially on the 15min chart)

grats to all who exercise patience and gt their breakthrogh.

I'm trying now to trade only 1h eurusd, entry on early breakouts and exercise using very small SLes(20 pips). Once i have +15, i'm coming to BE+1 and let the trade develop "riskfree".
Lost today 3 x 20pips, made 1 x 1pip, and finally 1 x 92.

Hi,

Yes i looked through 1h charts for the past few days and it seems to contain lesser noise.

However, i still try to stick to 15min (when the whipsaws are not as much, profits are good!) as i dont have alot of time to monitor.
Next is because every fluctuation causes lots of pips to be gain or loss compared to 15min chart. Dont really like that.

Today trades:
Lost: 1 (-50pips) long eur / usd- the fast and furious break on eur /usd to the downside caused me to close my long position 1 hr + ago. usually i would have followed with a short but am frustrated with myself and wanted to stay out and see what went wrong.

Lost:1 (-40pips) sell aud / usd - didnt follow rules on Malone's TDI 50 line and lack of monitoring causes more pips to be lost.

Gain: 1 (+ 15pips) usd / chf - small gain on this pair before the trend reverse.

Lost: 1 (- 5 pips) usd / CHF - standard cutloss

Better luck and strategy next time.

you entered short at 1.3155, this was when the price crossed the 5ema , correct.

Do you wait for it to close below the 5ema , say on the 5min chart or do you go straight in ?

It was when the price finally breached those multiple hourly lows....

L.E. This one was really funny. 5 minutes before price got down like a rock, i was telling to my wife.. "See, if price manages to go through this cluster of lows..." and bang..

I think some setups might be there in an hour on D1.
Hopefully some are legit, would like to read your opinions:

- USDCHF: bounce long
- NZDUSD: bounce short
- GBPAUD: bounce long
- GBPCHF: bounce long
- EURUSD: bounce short
- EURCAD: imminent cross and I think a 1-2-3 pattern down.
- EURJPY: bounce down
- EURGBP: bounce down

No Aussie trades as far as I can see.
23 hours ago I decided to take some of the above mentioned D1 trade "opportunities".

Trades still open
- USDCHF: long currently up 87 pips (BE + 10 triggered at +100).
- USDCAD: long currently up 67 pips.
- EURUSD: short currently up 144 pips (BE + 10 triggered at +100).
- EURGBP: short currently up 36 pips.
- GBPCHF: long currently up 30 pips.
- NZDUSD: short currently up 35 pips.
- EURJPY: short currently up 107 pips (BE + 10 triggered at +100).

Closed trades
- GBPAUD: long stopped out -100 pips (would have still been in the trade if I had a bigger SL)

Trade opportunities for new D1 candles (in 15min.)?
- AUDUSD: bounce short (screenshot)
- AUDJPY: bounce short (screenshot)
- EURAUD: TDI cross down (screenshot)
- EURCAD: TDI cross down (screenshot)
