Did anyone take advantage of the 100 line cross and massive slide that we had over the last 30 hours or so ? Awesome move...
I wish could have, should have

It was very risky trade! way to much important information was coming out today! Remember, in the rules it is not suggested to trade the day NFP is coming out... And I personally think this slide is unnecessary.

There will be a nice pull back to 100 sma and we should take advantage of it

I also think it's better to watch out for GBP/USD trade, it's about to break the major support line and we can see a nice slide to 1.51 area

I have the following three still open. This is on the H4 remember.
Noice! I like the USDJPY one! What's determine your stop loss? Do you have some fix number of pips?

I envy you. Did you enter your trades according to this system?

Man, I had an appointment with a doctor, otherwise I would be enjoying the ride as well

Yep - the good thing about it was that I was already past BE when today's news came out. The news sped the ride up - and I just hung on. I have locked in 100 pips of eurusd profit, just in case things reverse tmrw (NFP). Gonna lock in 50 in the usdchf and stay at BE in the audusd.

Hello everyone, have just stumbled upon this tread. Could someone clarify: do I get it right that the stoch should be set to smoothed in Metatrader (not simple or exponential)?
Thank you

I assume you mean the MA? You can play about with MA settings all day and all year in fact. I spent years playing about with them making them fit to the market at the time. I use MA`s I use 2 only. A 20 and 50 emas. The reason I keep following this thread is the that the 20 and 50 ma cross is roughly the equivalent to the price crossing the 100ma. Put them on a daily chart (likewise with a 100ma) and you can soon see exactly which way you should be trading.

Rosso bonks so what's your game plan? Trading every stoch & ema cross? I checked 20 and 50 ema cross on couple of pairs and it does correspond to 100 ma cross. I actually really like this idea, for how long have you been trading like this?

No, I mean stochastics - it can be simple, exponential, smoothed or linear weighted.

Well the one I'm using doesn't have that option. Just the time frames.

I just wanted to say thanks for what I believe is a great system. It might be temporary but since I switched to this system I have basically doubled my gains. Only used it for about 2 weeks so I can't really say much about it. But so far excellent.

Big thumbs up to Hugh Briss!

Hi again, am still ona learning curve so I would like to sometimes doublecheck my thoughts with you here:

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8...12110713am.png

From daily perspective I only look into shorts on H1.
I had a smooth cross of stoch on H1 which already was a red HA.
I assume it was a valid signal ?

Then follow two crosses of stoch, momentum up.
In this case, you keep the position with the initial 20 SL above MA100 or does it happen that you kill a position if too many indications come up that look like a potential turn ?

Thanks,

The stoch cross was smooth but the HA signal was not very convincing. It was obviously just going sideways so you would need a bigger move of the HA candle (price) before considering a trade.
