Symphonie Trader System

How are you using the Stochs as entry criteria?

Signal and Main both OB/OS and then cross back up/down for entry?

cheers

goldsurfer,

Yes. The confrimation process is based on things we have discussed on the thread. Things like Sentiment and Emotion in the next timeframe larger matching the signal and Stochastics to point in the same direction once there is a Symphonie Signal and also trading with the overall trend using Heiken Ashi.


Thanks to lhDT's brilliance we have this wonderful Signaler that encorporates all the tricks we have learned on the thread into this one Indikator.

Hurrah! to lhDT!!!! for all his hard work and charity to the group and thread.

Thanks again lhDT

Your quote :

It takes screenshot when you have a signal. This is useful to discuss about trades & bugs on the thread. You can now see afterward what has happened when you got the signal and why it closed. Screenshot are located in (your_broker_folder/experts/files/symphonie_signal/)

Enjoy,
LhDT

Before I did not know how to use this but this should be excellent way to analyze what happens

goldsurfer,

Once you have a Symphonie Signal this signal is usually at the low or high point of Stochastics that causes a pull back from the signal. Since you want to trade with the momentum you would wait on the Stochastic pull back and once it points back into the direction of the Symphonie Signal that is the time to enter your order.

You can find all these in the tips section of Post#1 plus many more tricks and tips.

Here is the cut and paste of some of the things you will find in post#1.

Check on that e, one of my main criteria for entry with your signals is the CTF stochastics, but I have found HTF stoch does not agree alot, you can over confirm and lose trades, jus sayin

I always confirm with HTF...I'm not doing anything different from before except addition of your signals


cheers

Is this the same stochastics? This is the one I use and MTF Heiken Ashi

I use the standard MT4 stoch indy that is included in the software, I drop another into it to get a color coded 50 line, am I coming across as a rookie or something? I've seen about every indicator there is and have made about 2.3 billion templates in the last 5 years....Warren Buffet no but not a rook

cheers

The question about stoch was for ihDT as to how the software used it (v8 signals)

Hi,

The stuff in M1.zip is still relevant, but is specific to M1 charts.....although I am sure that the way I traded the M5 would also work there too. I guess trading is an ever evolving style......sometimes it evolves to suit different PA, sometimes it evolves as we improve......sometimes it evolves as systems become clearer.

Anyhow, I have attached the same chart for you and I will try and explain my trades.

+33: This is an 'old school' way of trading that I have used to much success in the past, and I still use today......it is even easier when Symphonie is brought into the equation. The 'old school' rule is very simple.....if the PA opens above the Daily Pivot, the bias for the day is bullish.....if the PA opens below the Daily Pivot, the bias for the day is bearish. I find that when the PA opens right above the DP (or right below the DP) as it did here, there is a good chance that the 'old school' thinking will pay. It is a low risk trade because the SL is placed just under the DP. So, the yellow MA was on the rise, stochastic had just come out of a dip, symphonie matrix was all blue so I entered on the first bull candle *clear of the MA*.

You can see the yellow ellipse I have added on this first trade? That is where I would have exited had I been watching the trade. The truth is that I wasn't watching because I took my cat to the vet!! So I was lucky that I wasn't watching!! In the end I exited because the stochastic had fallen back below the 80 line and the first signs of Matrix changing had occurred.

+12: Matrix showed an extreme spike situation here, that subsequently repainted (yellow rectangle), so the immediate bias was bearish. It was a risky trade because it was contrary to my 'old school' thinking and stochastic wasn't in the best place. However, MA was turning south and Matrix was all red, so I entered on the first bearish candle *clear of the MA*. Once I got into the trade I was not too comfortable about it and I was looking to get out asap. When stochastic turned up and a bull candle crossed the yellow MA, I got out with a small profit.

+31: At this time the Matrix was still showing red on the extreme line, but stochastic was perfectly placed and the bull candle was a powerful one and the yellow MA did an abrupt about turn. The entry was at the completion of the first bull candle *clear of the yellow MA*.

The exit was based on the PA hitting the round number 1.2800 + Matrix shows the first red square + strong bear candle. Note: This could have burst through the round number but I did not think it would do so......it was a 'gut feeling' thing.

+35: An obvious rejection from the round number, Yellow MA turned, stochastic perfectly placed, Matrix all red, entry was the first bear candle *clear of the MA*.

The exit was at the touch of the Daily Pivot.

In all of these trades, the arrow is a confirmation (to me) that I am on the right path. I don't necessarily enter *because* of the arrow, but it is a nice feeling to see the arrow appear at entry time, or soon after.

Hope that answers your question?

Wow LhDT!

Many many thx to you for the wonderful Signal Indicator you made here,
One thing I am wondering about is just the Cycle indicator settings, in 1, 8 it is default set to 1 3 2, if I am not wrong I think Eval use 1 3 3?

And thx for you giving this to all in here,,,

Happy trading!!

I have put the V1.8 indicator on three different charts. The indicator just gave a buy signal on EU but the weird thing is that it now broadcasts this buy on all three charts which are ECH and GU (Just setting this up). It's confusing and annoying to see a buy signal on all three charts as I keep thinking I have a signal on the other two which by the confirmation indicators clearly indicate I don't. If in the reading I missed the fact that someone may have wanted signals to broadcast globally across charts, my dumass mistake for missing that. If it is not supposed to do this then it could be a bug or an error in my setup of the charts.

I used the symphonie matrix 1.4 with signal alerts V1.7 tpl file. Then I just placed the v1.8 file onto the chart and whala it seemed to work until I got this first signal. Maybe each chart will refresh that area when they generate their next signal? Any suggestions other than burning in hell would be appreciated.

Delete it and wait for the next version, it's got some problemo

cheers

everytime when I try to load the Symphonie Signal V1.8, MT4 crashes. SS V1.2 works fine, lol.

I've read the last 20 pages and I couldn't find an answer to fix this problem.

please, help.

Jack he just released the new version get it off your chart

are you having the same problem? MT4 closes when you try to load the SS V1.8?

no it re-arranged all my charts twice thats all, so I deleted it, bad indy, he'll make the fix....

yes, there is definetely something wrong with the V1.8

I just loaded V1.7 with no problems whatsoever

it's just V1.8 that crashes/closes my MT4.

let's just wait until lhDT makes a fix

EU is at an interesting place......no idea which way this will go, but whichever way it goes.....I shall follow!!!

Bearish divergence on H1......fwiw....

Weird ... Did you unloaded 1.7 before ?
