EU and GU 15 M shorts are working out well, after waiting through about + 30 then a retrace all the way to entry.

GU +37
EU +49
+15 locked on each. Both already made it to the opposite band, but I'm letting it ride as I see two targets below that. Will lock in the band when and if that target is reached.

P.S. I must say I'm impressed. when this method works as intended it gives you near perfect entry.

Yes. But at the moment I have a lot of doubts whether this system WORKS at all (except of Al -to whom I am thankful for contribution).
There are many questions unanswered..... there are number of doubts unsolved. OR maybe I just do not have enough skill to use it. It is also very very much possible and likely.

What are your thoughts Guys?

We will see what works better. I applied 5x5 EA and entered SHORT at 1,25364.


Well, if you are going short at the bottom of a channel, that you mixed up the concept. It's the other way arround. In the morning you went short where I went long, remember?

I have my sahre of doubts, but as a concept, looking mathematically, it's logicall. Forex is statistial movement arround median. If movement is extreme to one side, it will, sooner or later, return back to median. The only problem is, when. That's what I like about the system, but you should not disregards the PA. PA is the king, period. The latter is giving me more issues than the TMA idea overall.

I think it's a pretty sound concept/method. mush just in case you misunderstood, you look for shorts when price has spiked above the top of the channel and longs when it spikes below, then confirm with other indicators if it's a good option to take the trade as per the directions.

That alone makes it a very solid method as you are waiting for price to go up before shorting, rather than following a move down to only have it retrace on you.

Also I trade 15M so far as per the directions. I think AL and couple of others are trading on higher time frames, so if you are following them AND someone trading 15M you'll get confused, as the moves overlap but the waves are bigger on higher timeframes. what could be an entry and an exit on 15M, would often just be a retrace/middle of move for higher up time frames.

mishu here is my last successful trade. It just got stopped out for +47 pips.

The two gold lines are my entry and exit. Entrance on the top, for a short. I entered once I saw a red heiken ashi candle start to form. I followed the directions from post one.

H4 =ranging (-25-+25) or down (it was down around -70) watch the numbers in the little window.
15M = ranging or down

My target was the opposite TMA band below. I let it go past and tried to lock in hoping it would go further but got stopped out, my EU trade is close to stop but might go further down.

P.S. Keep in mind I've only done 5 live trades with this. So far though all are postive and trades have played out as to what the method is based on, which is extreme price movement past the mean.

Sure, let's play 'What if?" IF Greece exits the euro I'd expect an initial jump. This rise in the euro would weaken the USD since the value of the USDX is weighted so heavily with the euro, 58.6%.

Once Greece has found an exit there would likely be a scene resembling the Pied Piper (Greece) as the other PIIGS joined the parade. (PIIGS are Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain) The euro, left with only relatively strong economies, would go through the roof.

A very strong euro is death to the remaining euro countries since their export...

Yep, with any method I try I scroll through D1, 4H, 1H and look to see if I think I have room for the presupposed trade. EU and GU looked good to me when I got the spike, so I took em.

P.S. Thanks again for sharing your method AL. I've been looking for/trying to come up with a method that entered off of spikes/tops and bottoms of bolinger bands. The problem was I didnt have anything to filter the bolinger band tops and bottoms to make sure I wasn't entering on a BB run or against the stronger direction. I think you're method has a whole lot of promise as is.

As it stands now, I'm 6 for 6 in winnning trades. Total pips: 210. I can't remember the last time I won 6 trades in a row that wasn't jerking around and setting at BE +1. And all I did was follow everything in the first post and follow what looked to me to be the trend of the moment on the 15M.

As I said this morning, I am long EU, UJ, etc. Remember, I trade small positions relative to my account size. I leave pairs plenty of space to move. I donīt mind large drawdown because I always have plenty of spare margin (400% to 600%). As far as EU, I am focused on 1.30 (Roughly the 61.8% Fib retracement). I take a snapshot at entry and another at exit. What goes on in between is irrelevant for me. By the end of next week I will have my camera ready to take the 1.30 snapshot if EU poses for me.

I get all this, thanks for taking the effort to explain again. But for me the issue is, if we get to about 1,2475, it could be a very steep hill down. But then again, that's what fx is about, isn't it? Extremens...

Well, I guess small entry wouldn't hurt, but I'll use moderate SL. PA is definitely way out.

Something interesting is happening this afternoon. EU is down steadily from 1.26 to 1.2520 today BUT UsdJpy did not follow down as it usually does due to Jpy drawing safe haven trades. In fact, it has actually risen from 79.38 to 79.61 while EU was dropping. Bottom Line: I think we may very well be seeing the breakout of UJ happening as we speak.

Is there a programmer that can adjust the, "extreme TMA info," indicator so that it is moveable/positionable around the chart?

I realize you can adjust the font size, but even small it still blocks current price action unless I max out the chart. Kind a pain in the ass to have to manipulate the charts constantly to see currnent price, while trying to display four pairs.

Why donīt you enable chart shift and slide the little arrow to the left?

After that, you save the template and never have to adjust it again...
