THV system, final edition

Come on what do you peeps do while waiting, I'm really curious.

Heh, work on my studies! I have MetaTrading going in the background while I work. It alerts me to changes in the trend and then I give it a quick look to see if a trade is appropriate. Works quite well actually

I've been finding it difficult to trade these last few week days. Bear in mind I'm using a conservative approach with the rainbow. Today I've got nothing as trades go... signals that I am getting are too close to Support and Resistance for my tastes

Scratch that. This trade would have been acceptable. There was a weak bullish divergence on 5 min, however, the volumes for 1 min bearish were growing stronger over the last 30 minutes. Not a perfect setup, but good enough depending on confidence. Would have TP at S4 (7 pips).

That was a good setup. It was a BRC(break,retest and continuation) with momentum, and it broke the low where there was divergence.

My experience with divergence is that the trix is problematic with divergences at certain times. When price is consolidating near the coral and the trix is flat near 0, it can show fake divergence. If you are trading divergence in the direction of the rainbow trend it's one thing because the odds are in your favor, but if trading against the main trend it's better to get confirmation that price has really diverged far enough that it wants to pull back some.

My rules are that I don't trade divergence against the trend unless it's at least a third price wave. Also for divergence against the trend I want to see the CCI and the TDI confirm it, and I want it to look pronounced . In the case of the CCI I want at least one of the waves to be over 200 and in the case of the TDI I want the RSI line (green line) one wave to be outside the blue bands and for the second wave inside. Having the trix outside it's overbought or oversold lines is also a plus. This is my way of verifying that it's not divergence inside consolidation that wants to expand in the direction of the trend when it's done, but real divergence where price is really too overextended and wants to return to the mean. Also I'd rather trade the second one in a row of two that are close together because the EURO has a nasty habit of stopping the first one out by a couple of pips above/below the high/low and then, having shaken out the weak hands, doing a nice reversal. If you get divergence against the trendinside consolidation near the coral (while the price is compressed near the spine of the rainbow) you can usually ignore it, especially if it breaks the high/low.

The trick is to notice if the divergence is happening while the rainbow is compressed and trying to expand, or while it is overextended and trying to contract. I put that yellow/aqua stripe where it is in the 1 and 5m rainbows for a reason. If you look at what it is doing compared to the previous waves it will help you distinguish between expansion and compression. Notice how the yellow stripe looks in each of the waves that make up the fake divergence verses how it looks in each of the waves that make up the real divergence. In the fakeout, the yellow band is expanding in each wave as price goes lower and in the real deal the yellow band in the 1m rainbow is contracting with each wave even though price is going lower. Also in the real deal the edge of the waves themselves are getting higher as price goes lower, while in the fakeout the edge of the rainbow is going lower as price does.

Cheers Miss Pips! Yeah I'll take that on board, thanks. I've been wondering whether to use a separate graph for divergences recently, so I'll give the CCI a go and see how it turns out with relation to what you said. All in all, I've found the rainbow system to be the most helpful in relation to its contraction/expansion cycle. Its possibly one of the most helpful visual aids for trading in general for me.

I had another good setup today - shame I was asleep! I got a strong bullish divergence on both 5 and 15 min, plus a significant increase in volume in 1 min. Moreover, I got a slight (quite slight!) retracement into the rainbow. I take it this would have been an adequate 'BRC' just prior to the trade? Or do you prefer a somewhat stronger retracement? Would have fetched 8 pips, but you could have got 10 if you felt the FPV line would break.

Thanks again.

I prefer but the chances of getting it in that situation aren't good because the 5, 15 and 30 trixes all flipped together right there, together with a double bottom with divergence on the 5, 15 and 30 m charts. The TDI was out of bounds there on multiple timeframes, the stochastics were pointing up in all timeframes and the 60 m trix was crosssed up. The rainbow had a double flip up with the aqua band showing on both the 1 and 5. In those cases you have to just jump on because odds are there won't be a good retrace for a while. I don't use the CCI that much but I do have a separate chart with it and the TDI for checking if I want to take a divergence trade against the trend, and I do find it's useful to filter those trades on the 5 m chart. Since trading against the trend is riskier you want to make sure it's a real good divergence before doing it, or alternately if the TDI and CC don't confirm, you can rule out not taking a trade with the trend just because there was 'fake' divergence caused by consolidation that's likely to carry on with the trend. I love the rb as a visual aid too. I know that there are people who can read PA just looking at the bars, but I find having the colors in there really helps me see what's going on.

Long here.

Considerations:
1 H&S on 5 m chart
2 Triangle breakout and retest on 5m chart
3. All trixes from 5m to 1 h green after consolidation and compression period

4. Double rainbow flip on 1m chart and 6 lights.
5. Aqua layer showing on both rainbows.
6. BRC of R which becomes S at 2721
7. Higher highs, higehr lows on 1m
8. Nice overextended area on the last low on the 1m rainbow where price goes down and the rainbow doesn't follow it, leaving a gap (usually a sign of a good reversal).

I know we are in a downtrend, but careful with the shorts today. 4 hour charts on gold and euro pointing up.
(First chart is 4 hr EurUDS and second chart is 4 hr gold - tracks EURUSD pretty well on higher timeframes).

Nice example of how two people with opposite outlooks for the day can both make money as long as they get the entry right and don't get greedy.

Hello all THV4 traders,

I am still demoing the system and would like to know if we can have a higher time frame coral like M15 in M5?

I open up the coral MQ4 file but so ignorant to know which value to change and search the thread but no one has the same question as mine.

The reason i am asking for help is that with 2 corals I may filter out some bad trades that I had while using it, however it may limiting the trades

thanks all and wish everyone getting pips

hi all,

i just want to ask that can someone upload or give me the link of the last templates-indicators of this system? First post is very old and people use other indicators as I see in the last pages.

Thanks in advance

OK, let’s talk one moment about one of the indicators, The Fibonacci Pivot level indicator.

Those levels are calculated on the broker’s prior day HLC data, they are respected points where the PA may pause, bounce back or break and retest.
They are calculated on your brokers daily open and close time, now what will be the best broker time to watch them?

I find many of the rules of THV system useful in my other systems, especially the trix indicator. Im trying to code the trix indicator on a different backtesting platform from mt4.

Can somebody please answer two quick questions:

1. Is the trix calculated on the heiken ashi bars or regular price bars?
2. Is is calculated on O/H/L or Close of those bars?

Trying to understand the MQL code just confuses the heck out of me.

Thank you
