Quoting Lindsay
I THINK A CHART ANALYSIS SECTION WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA BUT PERHAPS WE COULD HANDLE 3 PAIRS, SAY GBPUSD, USDCHF AND PERHAPS FOR SOMETHING WITH A DIFFERENT PERSONALITY THE EURGBP.
I HAVE SET MY CHARTS UP WITH THE SAME INDICATORS AS YOU HAVE PLUS THE FFTUNNEL 3.1. I HOPE THIS HELPS.
Lindsay,

Regarding the FF Tunnel v3-1 that you attached - what timeframe is this indicator designed to show?. I had the original FF Tunnel indicator that was designed by Team Aphid which was used on the 4H chart to show the "weekly" trend direction. When I used the FF Tunnel v3-1 I show conflicting trend signals. For example on the USD/CHF, the weekly trend is down as defined but the FF Tunnel v3-1 shows that the trend is up.

Thanks

MIke

Both of them say true..I would think they should be false to calculate the actual trend direction...?

Thanks

Here is a question for anyone. I asked dial and then realized the questions sshould be asked here so, How would it work to use an ADX indicator? I mean, that is an indicator that shows the strength of a trend and it also shows if the trend is up or down. This might not help at all but, I am playing with this other system and ADX has alot to do with showing trend strength. Just an idea.

Hi rens,

Just my opinion though. The knife is a customized vegas 4Hr tunnel. And if I remember it right, vegas (and I think Dial too) allows or even encourages for one to add his or her own style/indicator to it. So for me, that same thing would go with the knife. As long as it's working and makes you catch profitable trades and avoid losing ones, then I think it's okay if you add ADX.

Again, the main point will be that it works for you.
I also think adding the ADX is a good idea because I for one find the logic behind such indicator good. I haven't studied enough about it yet but it is in my list..

But of course, if adding the indicator proves to be useful, you have to share the results with us...

Regards,
East

East,


Oh I will, with as much as you guys have helped me, I would love yo help out in any way I could.

Yeah the ADX will show when a trend is strong or weak and it will show the direction of the trend. It also shows when price is moving sideways. Great tool for the tools box.

Okay, I inserted the ADX in my chart .. aaand... I don't know what the heck it's telling... Anyway, this one's on my indicator-to-study list..

Go make yourself consistently profitable and that alone is already a reward on its own for me.

Renasdad, I like this idea for ADX I would be interested in hearing how it turned out. I have and still use ROC and a period of 9 and have had good results with it. see the graph.

The way I use it is, If the line is above zero it is an uptrend. If the line is below zero, it is a downtrend. If the line is above zero and changes direction to the down slope, it is still an uptrend, but the trend is slowing. The reverse is true for below zero.
