I don't know how to change the colour to make it stay that way unless you have the mq4 file and change that. The thickness as pointed out last week is changed by using the bar chart setting with "Chart on Foreground" unticked under Chart Properties.

GU trade from this morning. In hindsight slightly lucky as i forgot about the news.

Entry on break of the small support to the left made by the Asian session, and break of 60ema

Small tp of 25 due to the 4hr bottom support, (red line on chart)

Went long at 6am GMT yesterday Eu and Gu, They both went over 50 pips so had my stops at Break-even and got stopped out!!!

I see most pairs are bearish at the moment so I am going to wait for either the downtrend to be confirm or Continuation.

Sorry I am really busy this week so will update you if I open any trades.

Hello traders,
Here are my ej trades for this week so far.
First -14 pips, the second was in +75 but pulled back more than 20 pips so I closed it for 52 pips
The third trade was two fold +18 and +40 pips. Target was placed at 200ema on H1 for completion of abcd
harmonic pattern.
I also had two BE trades, those are shown on second image as well.

Todays trades on EURJPY H1

First one had been about 25 pips in profit, when I set the stop on b/e. The parallel view on H4 - looked like a long-signal on H4 at this time - let me expect to upgrade on a H4-trade - but EJ came back, during I checked some other charts and as my view got back I saw the position just shortly before it was stopped out.

Second trade I had a little more fortune. Didn't want to make the same mistake again and took 1/2 position profit already at about 21 pips on a retrace inside the candle, set stop on b/e and stayed in the trade, even on the blue candle because it missed the entry point only for about 3 pips. So the luck was this time on my side: 2 times, because the EJ went down again and hit my target barely at about 20 pips below the last low.

+21 pips + +76 pips => +48 pips in average - ok.

The long, I wouldn't have classed as being an H4 signal as the red line of the TDI was heading very firmly down at the time, there was also pretty large bearish divergence on H4.

Hi All: Would someone advise me the relevance of the Stochastics. I cannot find much info. in the thread on Stochs.. If it is meant to be pointing in the same direction as the Green TDI line does it matter where it is positioned within the 20 - 80 regions. i.e. if you are placing a Buy trade does it have to be close to 20 or is OK if it is just pointing up.
Thanks in advance Oldie - Western Australia

I don't use the stochastics anymore on my charts but I think from what I've read the stoch just had to agree with the tdi in direction but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Its very quiet on the thread at the moment though.

Thanks for the reply 'lastingwell" - you are confirming what I feel is the purpose of the Stoch. Even Eelfranz did not comment on the Stoch. much nor did he show it in his charts but I did read 1 reply from him to someone saying to watch it - but no further explanation. Thanks Oldie

EU H1, one BE trade in asia, and one for +54 pips after the news.
My bias was long on the daily.

Couple of H4 trades on eu/nzd pair,
showing a really nice hidden bullish divergence,
took profit for now +210 and +124 pips.
I will look for re entries after pullback, for now just satisfied with locked in profits.

lastingwell,

thank you for that hint for the H4 setup.
Up to now the direction of the red tradesignal line wasn't really in my focus.

But how would you describe something like a "valid condition" for the red one? If the red one is turning to flat or in the right direction?

Please take a look on the H4 EURJPY chart. I've marked some profitable entries (magenta), which I think I had not taken, if the red line direction is a required validation (because the red line was'nt in the same direction with the green one at that time)

guys i believe those who got in long AUDUSD around 9000 are in a better place. could test 9300 imo. Double/Triple bottom just a pip or two above 9000.

And similar PA on EURGBP i bought the dip apparently - tho i did intend to keep it long term, the momentum surprised me a lot. Anyway will try hold it with target of 9000. If you have any other thoughts about this trade (like is you expect reversal and think that i should close it) please dont keep it to yourselves.

Some trades I took today:

E/U buy +25 pips
U/C sell +40 pips

News candles entries on both, entered on break of previous H/L, took out my TP on U/C, manual exit on E/U since the price was stalling, watchful for continuation tomorrow

G/J +100 pips

Entered after candle closed below low of recent consolidation, TDI was about to cross on daily, put TP on confluence of RN, Starc band, previous S/R, TDI 32 and daily MBL, TP hit. Possible continuation but I doubt it.

I like to take high probability trades and at least like to see it start to bend before I go in, but I don't trade the H4 so I could be wrong on that being important on that timeframe. If I saw a strong down red line along with large divergence which there was on your first chart I wouldn't go in. If that meant I would miss it, then I would miss it but I would be looking for a better setup.

Hi cce: I know this is an old post but don't you need the mq4 files for Syngery & Stochastic Slope for them to work correctly. They usually come in pairs e.g. mq4 & ex4.
