screen shots go to file >save as picture

save pic where you want, move it to paint package to alter etc..

save again when finished (if you've writen on it etc,.)

to attach here, write your post and go to 'manage attachments' and upload

well the conditions i look for:

4hr red or green everything (ultra-signal dot, cci arrow, ultratrend candle)this to me means trend has been established for a short time.

15min (ultra-signal dot...plus either one of the arrow or candle, i prefer both but using just one has let me get in earlier)

as Steve said ultrratrend has an alert..

'....this is the time for caution as market has moved sharply lower over the last few days so it's due a correction or consolidation, again we don't know this for sure.'
this appears to be true for today....
hi Kraven
firstly , thanks very much for all the time and effort you've put into thread for others to benefit .
? if (say) a red arrow appears above a blue candle and then a couple of bars later bars and dots turn red , is that a sell signal.
regards ,Rob

Morning all,

I was kicking myself last night - had a bad day at work and got in late. When I'd eaten and put the kids to bed, I sat in front of my PC and had a look for possible trades.

Found three, BUT I was tired and not concentrating:

1. Not all the indicators were there - the trend looked good and the prices had just started moving
2. I forgot - yes forgot - to set SL

The prices started going the wrong way, and I realised what I'd done wrong. I hadn't stuck to my plan. and this could bite me.

So, I thought, there's a lesson to be learnt here, and in the words of Morpheus - 'lets see how deep the rabbit hole goes'.

I figured I ought to let it run anyway and see what the punishment could look like.

I turned off and went to bed...

Switched PC on this morning before work to see what had happened and LUCKILY the trades had made their way to my TPs - so I still won out.

The point of this ramble, I guess, is to point out that you can't be lucky in this game. You have to stick to your plan, and I didn't.

Yesterday's trades were:

EURUSD - Sell - +103 pips (took 3.5 hours to hit)
AUDCHF - Sell - +101 pips (took 3 hours to hit)
EURNZD - Buy - +99 pips (took 2.5 hours to hit)

The charts on these weren't necessarily the best setups as I said, so you may not learn a lot from these.

That may be right,
not that its a big downer,
you can do a lot with 30 pips a day

Absolutely, consistently getting 30 pips a day is more than enough

All,

My sincerest apologies - I have confused pips and pipettes while I have been posting.

I did say I was a newbie (!) - so in reality all my results need to be divided by 10 (is that right?).

I really hope I haven't mislead anyone into thinking this is a 'super system'.

I'm at work at the moment, but I will upload some charts when I get home, and you can put me back on the right track again.

yes luck can go far in this game.

i got in early my trade and got out with 15pips, it was 40pips up

sorry Rob never seen your post, the order doesn't matter. if you get an arrow first....then you wait for the dot then enter(by this time candle will prob change colour too)

we just had a good example of a no entry..red dot but no candle or arrow.

lol.

anthraven i was thinking that because you were letting them run you were riding through all the in's and outs. e.g. if you entered EU late on the 8th and let it run you'd be over 100pips up.

Its another good lesson on my journey through this minefield.

Good job I hadn't pinned any hopes of retirement on my calculations - I would be sorely disappointed!
