Hi all. I am new to the forum and I'm Spanish, I have a question for Yelena.

As you can see on the chart I have the configuration of the bars of record 1 million. This configuration directly affects the individual extrem, I could tell if they are as friendly as you have the configuration of the bars of history?

Thank you all.

I have only had two M5 signals on EURUSD today. The first was the short I took around 1.3164 which signalled at 9:15 GMT. With no stop loss, that would have been at -59 pips when the long signal came in about 15 minutes ago. That would be sitting around +10 pips as I write this.

I'm using the 1.7 signal indi. Are you referring to trades purely off the matrix?

PB
Yes off of the matrix. I've tried the signaller, but as I just look at the H1 full signal and the M5 full signal separately, I haven't got much use for the signaller.

any reason why this trade failed?
3 other trades in kiwi and ucad closed at +6 each. and AU closed at +11
Look where the stochastic was when you took that trade....you need to pay attention to that because that is the very reason it's on the chart.

I can't get myself to pull the trigger on a EUR/USD long. Can't believe it's going up today after being down at 1.3160's. Still trading below pivot. If Greece defaults, those long stop losses will accelerate the drop. Just my OP.
That kind of thinking will trap you. When usd/jpy was at 78, thousands lost a lot of money going long because they "couldn't believe" that it would drop more. But it did. And the more it dropped, the more people climbed on board the long train. When it reached a record low, still more people climbed on board the long train......and it dropped more!

It doesn't matter what you and I believe, it only matters what we see. The fundamentals are interesting and should be noted, however, all you need to see is right in front of you on the charts.

If Greece does default, the PA might fall off a cliff.....but.....it might rise to the relief that finally the market knows the result. You see? It could go either way. Trade what you see on the charts only.

And...about 2 bars later than it should have been taken, plus there was already a blue extreme before you took it.

at the time of the trade it had closed in all red but they repainted a couple bars later. I wouldve cut my losses early if I was in it live but luckily im on demo for now.. but even demo wouldnt let me close haha.. so i just let it run

so would this EU long be a more valid setup? stoch isn't overbought yet and shi channel is up.. also 1hr arrow is trending up

gotcha.. I never payed attention to where the stoch was... only if theres a cross I'm going to have to keep that in mind.

ie. coming up from 20 for buy and down from 80 for sell right?

This looks like a classic repaint to me. I'll bet he entered the trade as soon as the matrix changed colour. Although, like you said it may have been better to wait for the stochastic to rise. Then again, I've see the price drop 100 pips with the stochastic on the floor!

The fact is (and this isn't a criticism of this system, as it applies to almost all trend following systems) that when price ranges, Symphonie will often get you in a trade at almost exactly the point where price turns. In fact, on a day like today you could probably do very well by taking trades opposite to the signals.

Hmmm...that get's me thinking :-)

The market is going to sleep now.....no point in trying to trade when the market isn't producing. We have to accept what the market is willing to gives us.....not try to force the market to give to us. The market can bite such behaviour very hard.

It's true that just because the stochastic is oversold or overbought does not guarantee that the price won't continue in that same direction, which is great if you are in a trade already. But it's foolish to take the chance and jump into a trade against the advice of the stochastic. What's the hurry?

yeah I wasn't expecting too much but I guess the repaint play failed on me that time..

I'll be extra careful trading sundays next time.

edit; thanks rj for that advice.. see the same basics always seem to come bite me in the butt lol.. It's hard trading london and us though living on the east coast since it starts at 3 am..

I'm gonna need alot of coffee tonight
