RJ,
I was trading the 4 hour charts using "TMS", but I changed
my schedule to the first 3-4 hours of the N/Y open. I'am going
to put my "scalping hat on" and start trading the 5 minute
chart. I need an indicator faster than the "TDI" on the
5 minute charts. I've been reading all of the "Genesis" posts
and it looks very accurate. You've done a great job.
Thanks for all your help!

As Padilla said, your arrow matrix is for M5/M15, now since those arrows are on your charts, that doesn't give you any further info.
You can change the TFs, , in the file, its up to you, whether you have M30/H1 or H1/H4
on my screen, I have M15 & M5 charts alongside each other, so on M5 I have the 2TF file being M15 & M30; and on M15, I have H1 & H4
I rarely now look at H4, my setup/understanding means I really only need to go up to H1
You probably will never get an H1 fakeout that isnt tradeable
I am a fallible imperfect person; so I must be a fallible imperfect trader.

{quote} Marty, thank you for sharing your story. It seems to have involved more of a psychological struggle than RJ's, but it's equally motivating. You are an example to follow in overcoming one's misconceptions about trading.
Its only know I can talk about it, having emerged from my own self-induced darkness, yes your summary is spot on, I have had a psychological mountain to climb, mainly around my obsession about perfection. But I knew it all along, just couldn't break it.
But it least it I have emerged with very strong strategies, and sound knowledge of forex; and can move on

RJ, Sorry about that chart, don't know what happened? let me try this one. Tks snarlyjack {image}
(cool screen name). If its scalping youve got on your mind, I'd suggest using the luktom visual order editor, just so youre a bit more nimble with your orders.Ps. I've attached the file to this post, and 'instructions' I found on the developer's old site. (which unfortunately is no longer on the web). If youre with a 5 digit broker, multiply your pip entries by a factor of 10; so 30 pips for example would be an entry of 300 for any of the manager's numeric entries.
Pps. As this isnt an element of Genesis but a tool, I'm hoping RJ doesnt mind posting this here.

Just my 2 cents if I may. The website still exists.
And since we're discussing order management tools I too have a question, and I too am hoping RJ doesn't mind, although it's not for Genesis.
I'm looking for a pending order script with adjustable drag and drop lines (just like lvoe), which would place a pending stop buy/sell order at a specified pip distance above/below the last candle's high/low.
So, it has to automatically read the last candle's high/low and place a pending order at a set pip distance above/below it (plus spread).
It should also have the ability to preset SL/TP and lot size within the settings (just like lvoe, again).
If anyone could share or point me in the right direction where I could get such a script, that would be fantastic.
Thanks!
P.S. Not to clutter this thread, please send me a PM or post a reply here.

Looks OK to me Jack....although if you're going to use the 'Arrow' Matrix, then you don't need the arrows on your chart....and vice versa of course

{quote} When you look at the H1 chart, the GBP is in an uptrend, the MAs are coming together, an hour arrow appears, it is calling out BUY. Just IMHO of course and now that I've had a look in retrospect.....
Welcome to SNARLYJACK, I hope he can give some help as a seasoned trader elsewhere and now a "newbie" to this thread,
I am very happy to see the posters being helpful to new questions, even though they may have been asked 100 times,
this is a great thread BUT when i seem to be getting it all together there seems to be another rule...!!!
This is meant as a helpful observation not a put down, of course,
The recent mention of " the MAs were coming together on a higher timeframe" has got me puzzled just when I thought I was on top of it,
What MAs are you referring to..?? I am grateful for your answer, Cheers S

The MA's you refer to are just a personal preference by a few traders here but they are not part of the Genesis system.
