QUESTION FOR ALL NEWBIES ON THE THREAD:

There are so many indicators, patterns and new thought patterns being thrown at us very fast and yes, i do admit it can be overwhelming. I suppose its good that way in the beginning. But my question to all of you is: "What is the one thing that stands out to you when you look at your "new" charts the way 9er has us set them up. What do your eyes "LOCK ON" to to make you say "ahhh haaaa. Im going long." Besides the fractal patterns... For me its the the 3 alligator lines crossing each other at one time.

the ema,i mean is exponential moving average mate... what u use in moving average 200 : exponential, simple, smoothed ?

Can you elaborate on the crossing of the 200's? Not familiar with the EMA

I instantly regretted this trigger as soon as it occurred. I set a stop loss which I anticipate getting taken out. There are trades that you have confidence in and those that you don't. This would be the latter for me. I hope I am wrong, but I am triggered in, so we let price do it's thing. Sit on hands until profit can be locked or stop taken out

Thanks I actually know what an EMA is, I use Simple. What is the significance of the crossing?

Silat thank you. For me my eye's don't lock on any one thing. This is what I meant earlier when I said this is a "style" rather than a system. Try to get out of the habit of locking in on any one aspect of the charts. Doing so may cause you to lose sight of something very critical. Broaden your view and let your eyes lock in on "What is". One time it might be the alligator, another it might be the AO or a reversal candle pattern or a collection of any combination of these.

make sense?

ah i see what u mean

just try this...just a tricky not technique....

m5 = 5 minute
m15 = 15 minute

our main window is m15 with 200 ema ( as example )

so just make rough calculation like this :

(5/15) * 200 = 66.67... say 67

so just make another ema , ema 67 in main window ( m15 ). this ema 67 will act as ema 200 m5 on m15 window.

to check it :

open new window using m5 with ema 200 ... just compare it window m15 using ema 67. the value will be " equal ". if there is different 1-3 pips is ok .... coz we rounded it up from 66.67 to 67.

lower ema crossed higher ema... text book said trend change.

so all is about 200 ma in one window ( here, i use exponential )
hope it could answer yours...

As I expected. Why do try to appeal to the forex's good nature?

just to breakdown into m15 and "playing with golden moving average - the 200 ". i just overlay ema 200 m5 on m15. so the red line is ema 200 m5 and the yellow one is ema 200 m15 ( we have 2 moving averages from different time frame in the same window ) . they are crossing already

shortly : if she goes UP...to retest prev support ?
5an,

I love your charts. Is there anyway on MT4 that I can get 2 moving avgs from different time frames on one chart like you have? Meta quotes is probably not my thing.

That is quite a push off the 200 on the 15M. Couldn't help but be sucked into the 5M setup - was perfect went short currently at BE
