That was quite a move in eurusd, well done to anyone who caught it. Everyone be careful now to keep the gains made, this is a very unpredictable time!

Briss -

I took your suggestion regarding a second SMA 50 and then played around with other settings for it. I suggest a 50 EMA as it shows what is happening in the latter part of the candle action. I put up up a linear weighted one too, it imitated the EMA so now I have a SMA/100 & a EMA/50 - still pretty uncluttered compared to some other strategies I have looked at.

I am doing fairly well with the 4H TF and was confident last night to let a trade run overnight, +43 pips A/$. Someone here uses a 50 SL & TP which is what I'm doing so far. Works very well for me. Good trading all, p.

Nice trading. Whatever works for you is what you need to concentrate on.

What about stoch crosses between the 80 & 20 levels? Safe with the trend, don't ever take a trade like this? Comments anyone. p.

Depends on the trend and what the heiken ashi change looks like. Generally as long as it's the right side of the 50 level (below for a buy, above for a sell) then it should work ok.

An excellent thread. I am learning so much, but a long way to go. Sometimes the trend is not always so clear even with HA candles and MA(s). I always ask myself "Am I seeing a pattern of Higher Highs and Higher Lows or the opposite." If I do not like the alignment, there is always another trade out there. Sort of like waiting for the right pitch.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind.

Thanks for your post. Your are completely right, if you're not sure just stay out!

Sometning I've noticed with stochs on the E/$ & gbp/$ - that if the reversal of the green line (not sure if that's the 8 or the 3) makes a sharp "V" reversal the new trend will have more"legs" than if the line makes a curve or a wide "V". Hope I am getting the idea across and it certainly isn't set in stone but rather something to notice.
