Gooooooood morning George!
It is like sunrise watching when the market suddenly wakes up and comes alive,and even more so when you are in the right direction
Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.

AU short but the M1 lines are going flat and may have to wait a bit for this to continue down. Maybe not

Hey,
yes already short from 9391 in the morning

GA should be the lead, at least for me.
Yesterday G was sold on the board. Could watch this.

1. Which speeds of the meter you take?
2. If you select 2 currencies which are the "widest"...you wait for them to start coming together on 5m/15m? and make a trade.
Or you trade the direction which they are...so, the widest and trade them to stay the widest still..any particular TF?

What would you say makes a difference for the two scenarios?

  1. I look for the top 3 strong and last 3 weak currencies on the M5 & M15, and wait for the M1 to agree.
  2. I look for the strongest of the 3 strong and the weakest of the 3 weak, and match them for a low risk low stress trade

In this case case the 2 strongest currencies were JPY & USD and they both seem at par but USD is stronger. AUD & NZD are the weakest but AUD is weaker, so I opted for AU short. I am however watching price reaction around the S2 having bounced them once and price having just broken 2 important levels - S1 & yL (yesterday's low). Price may want to retest these levels before continuing down. So I will take my profit and sit by the side.

You're speaking Greek What indicator speed are you talking about? I just use the default setting on the Currency Strength Slope. Maybe you can post a chart to illustrate your point and probably share the indicator with the speed of the indexes.

And nice one on your GA trade both currencies are now weak and will probably just be trading sideways until the GBP news

I dont use this meter, I use mine, but seems the same..

The value for each time frame is on the chart and I don't have the MQ4 copy to know the lookback data it takes into consideration but I like it better than the one I have been using for years because it combines the strength/weakness of each currency with the steepness of the slope. The lookback doesn't actually make any difference to me as I can see that on my chart and ONLY use the CSS as confirmation to enter or not enter a trade.

I can't comment on the speed of the indexes since it is not an indicator common to both of us, unless you share then I can test and we can always compare notes.

I closed the AU short for about 5 pips as S2 has now been established as support in the ST. Will go for a snooze and be back for the US session.

ok, I understand
Have you ever tried to automate this system? Stats say lots of things.
But I am sure you are alright..

Have a good one.. GBP data next

Still working

It's good to be back after being incapacitated for few days now as my monitors just went dead and all troubleshooting efforts produced nothing. After all failed attempts to DIY, I called the professionals in and within one hour, I have new monitor and graphic card to start trading again and will get an additional monitor later.

So my first trade.
The trend is down and I waited for (1) pullback (2) a potential H4 engulfing and (3) change of power between the GBP & USD after noticing the divergence. And bang I pulled the trigger as soon as the current H4 candle crossed below the low of the last H4 candle. Now @ BE + 1

Have a good week end, and good trading to all

Shalom

Good morning traders:

I am short GU but seem as if I entered early and did not wait for all the rules to align, so I`m keenly watching any close above the DPV. About 4 pips in the hole right now but watching.

Good trading to all

Shalom
