Experimenting with the currency meter this morning on a mini account, when I looked at the meter at Frankfurt open, CAD was very strong while AUD was weak so thought I would try AUD/CAD, 1. because I hadn't traded it before, and 2. Although just above S1 it had broken through a trendline and closed below the weekly pivot (horizontal line on the first chart) at the same time as genesis signalled, so put in a sell with take profit set at just above S2 and the first ATR line, 23 pips in the bag It could go much further but as I haven't traded it before I thought I wouldn't be greedy.

Genesis is doing well though, so I'm not too worried about CSM

Nice......I still can't get my CSM registered, and I see a lot of others have the same problem so I can't do the experiments. Looks good though Olivia

I just thought I would look at it on his main page just before market opens as I don't really like it in the background.

what took me 3 weeks to understand you did less than 12 hours. the world can be so unfair. but im happy for you. knowing that AUD is still carrying the sentiment yeah, your choices are correct. i exited AC at S2. waiting for S1 for AJ (SL at BE+10) and AU for S2 (SL at S1)
need i mention, i did get whacked on the BUY signal on all 3 too. in green now.

I also had a sell in on AU which I took around the first ATR line for a nice round 50 pips (oli is not the only one with a fetish for round numbers lol) and a buy on USD/CHF which is set at BE +1.

Ok....I'll give that a shot. Thanks Magdelen
one only has to glance on it right before:
1. european and frankfurt opens
2. NY open
3. high impacting news - via retracement method. but that's a different topic altogether.

Another quick word (bet it won't be quick by the time I've finished typing) on standard Stochastic: if you set the '%D Period' to 1 (rather than Genesis 3) it does not change the curve of the Stox at all, all it does is hide the dashed (Signal) --- line behind the Main line and it will show as (11,1,3) on a chart (the same effect is achieved by selecting 'none' for the colour of the Signal line).
I know that it's not standard Genesis but I've seen a few people using it like that too:
+ cleaner stox window with less lines
+ keeping only the Main line gives a smoother stox curve
+/- it tends to get into OB/OS a bit later (can be good or bad)
- you lose the info about the crossing of the Main & the Signal line
