Loaded indies and template, restart MT4 and less than a second later MT4 closes. Tried several times with same result. Any ideas on how to correct this??? Thanks.

Seems like I remember reading something similar on another thread. Make sure you have build 419 on your mt4. Some were having issues with the TDI running on older builds.

As the green had crossed over red on EurGbp D1 I waited for the candle to close and opened a short position, yesterday I moved it to break even and later the stop loss was hit.

Shorts are still valid so I moved to H1 and opened a short position when green crossed red (do I need to wait for the candle to close?).

Moved 25 pips so moved S/L from swing high to BE.

If you've got a solid cross with momentum I'd definitely take the trade. The proof is in the pudding...if you've moved to BE you can't ask any more then that. Now the market will decide.

Here's another spreadsheet to pay with this weekend.

Keeps track of your growth percentage and forecasts future account growth based on the average of the previous months growth.

Just put in your starting balance and then update each period/month with your new actual balance. Far right column will keep track of actual or forecast depending if there is a current month balance.

Here's a weekly update on the USD/CHF.

I've reentered on the upside. You can see on the dialy we got a nice bounce on the 60ema so hopefully it will continue up.

As a side note: I've added a couple of indicators to my charts, principally the 5ema shifted 2. I'm going to watch and see if maybe this will become a more precise way to signal a reversal on the daily rather than just a reverse cross.

On the Gbp/Chf we have a pretty standard entry with a cross on the TDI. We see a nice resumption of the previous uptrend with a bounce off the Sonic channel a couple of days ago. Looks like a nice possibility on this one.

Not really loving the PA on the Gbp/Usd right now. It was quite rangy on Friday and I failed on a couple of entries. I think I'll look for some convincing movement one way or the other before trying any more entries.

Nice bump back to the upside on the Usd/Cad. We have some good resistance though on the H1 at the 1.03000 level so we'll see if it can push through that or stall.

More ranging on the Aud/Usd. Need to break out of this pennant to the downside before stacking any more positions.

hmmmm my indicators don't show that set of green and red boxes. The synergy indicator, right?
Should I just re download everything and try again?

On a side note, my weekly candles show a close below support on the e/u pair with almost no resistance between the current price and the 600 pip bottom... It may still be going to be on a long ride down. Waiting to see where the market opens today.

I don't usually look at the GBP/CHF, so I'll upload that to my mt4 too. Time to go do my pre market open analysis. Drawing trendlines... resistance... boxes... PA.

Dafox,

Here's my updated template and a couple of indicators I added. I don't know that I'll keep them...more of a test drive...screen is getting a bit full.

You're right about the E/U. I was watching that closely on Friday. Like the G/U it's a bit rangy on the h1. If she breaks below that 1.25000 she may go south in a hurry.

I added the new indis and template to post #1

Hi, Spyderman

Thanks a lot for your weekly review.

BTW what a boring week we had. Let's look forward to getting some "good-stacking" trades.

Best regards

Recent price action has brought to lite a problem with a portion of this strategy. Perhaps with input from others we can see a way around.

There having been many signals yesterday and today that have hit s/l. That in itself doesn't necessarily bother me as that is going to happen with any system.

But notice the chart on the daily A/U. I had a nice stack going to the short side. Zooming way out on the weekly we can see that price action was toward the top end all time for the pair.

I got a daily signal in the opposite direction so diversified...
Hi spyderman,

First I thank you for taking the time to start this thread and your weekly review. I would have to agree to your comment in post 1, it looks promising with a lot of potential. I look forward following.
I am somewhat familiar with the trading discussions of Xmans S3, Big E’s TMS and Britpip7’s TMS for day charts but it’s the first I’ve heard of Graemes Equity Millipede though, will be reading on it.
Concerning your stated issue on post 65, in that situation it may be good to change your existing candlesticks to Heiken Ashi or Synergy APB to try to get more insight on continued trend direction.

What a crazy weekend. Look forward to getting back to some directional trading this week. Let's hope the market decides what it wants to do.

Right now a lot of my pairs are undecided so I'm going to wait to see some directional movement, break of s/r lines, before stacking anymore.

We have some directional bias going now so we should see some trading opportunities, at least in the pairs I'm trading right now.

Last night I had a signal on the U/C to close out (diversify) my positions. I had a close above the 5ema shifted so I closed out my closest 3 positions (leaving 2). Of course price has now flipped back long ... ... so I closed my new short position and have reentered the trend.

Still struggling with this trend shift...when to close, when to reenter.

James,

Nice idea. I looked back on a couple of pairs with the Synergy APB. It didn't really make a difference on the signals. Would have pretty much come out the same as the TDI cross. I'm hoping that the 5ema shift will be a little more reliable.

Nice day of movement. Up 15 % on equity. I imagine we'll see a retracement tomorrow. I've been rereading Graeme's posts on the millipede. I'll try and go with the market flow.

yeah, this method has sure done well just in this first bit of trading. The euraud had a valid signal just a few days ago that is currently in retracement.
