Good man Clive. I know you want to help and give back and stuff, but at the end of the day, it cannot hurt your own ends to do so. Nice recovery this afternoon! I see you changed your LWMA to 34. Very tight. It looks good in hindsight and you obviously took good signals this afternoon from it. Good on ya! Chin up, pip pip, cheerio and all that other English stuff....Pretty good for an American huh?Looking forward to Monday, in the threads.

Hi Cappers

Awfully good English there old chap, especially for one of our American friends who struggle with the pronunciation of the Queens English correctly.....

Hey got some really really good news, guess what???

I've got some money together...

Can't say where I've got it from of course , but she never wears it anyway.... She won't notice until New Years Eve and by then if all goes to plan I'll be able to get it back from the pawn shop... she won't even know it was gone.. Its an old old worn out piece of jewellery anyway, something her great great great grandmother use to own or some such nonsense???? So not really that important if she never gets it back...

Anyway I've got £500 for the old piece of rubbish so can't be bad and gonna get started first thing Monday, wish me luck...

Only bad news of course is I'm gonna have to put the "live trading" webinars on hold for a bit and also slow down on the posting my trades as I take them too, gonna be very very focused on my trading from Monday onwards...

Might be up for a couple of off peak webinars where I can go through my days trades step by step as I will still be taking pictures of every entry just like I do now for my nightly reviews...Just won't be as I go I'm afraid... The pressures on to get that Goddam necklace back before New Years Eve...

To any lovely Ladies out there reading this post and feeling outraged.... Don't worry, I'm only kidding, she won't need it for New Years Eve.... I hope

So "Live" account it is then with some real money, now we're find out the truth, can't wait.....
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

That is great! Now, ratchet back your exposure with this compared to what you were doing with demo. Ease into the real money deal. It can mess with you. Your pipsmeter in the bottom right corner of the screen is the place to focus, not on the pounds of win or loss.....just pips. Lastly, go easy on yourself and your strategy. You really have to dedicate to the idea that your current strategy is good and does not need changed because of a bad day or a bad couple of trades. An excellent idea to go through your day, then post a summary only.

Good luck to you!! I funded my account from sources that some here wouldn't approve of as well....Lets hope we are still married in a few months.

Looking forward to the adventure. I have a feeling that 2015 is going to be a whole new ballgame for us Clive!

OK quick post about what I'm doing as from Monday with a very small adjustment to the strategy...

Very aware that I've been getting in a bit too late sometimes to these strong moves due mainly to me using a 100lwma as my trend and as my TTindy LWMA, so to try and catch these trends a tad earlier, eg at the start. I'm using a 35 LWMA from now on for both the chart and the TTindy for both 1 min and 5 min TTindy settings.

This means of course the TTindy especially on the 1 min will be swinging from one pair to the other but the 5 min will be a bit steadier so I will tend to use it as the master far more than with the 100 LWMA setups. Also of course I'm going to be carefully selecting the moves I'm looking to take. They will have to be like the ones I took today on the chart below, I'm looking to sell the first LH in a downtrend and to buy the first HL in an uptrend... Must have a strong AB producing the first HH in an uptrend or the first LL in a downtrend. They must be strong convincing moves for me to consider the resulting HL or LH for an entry...

I see these as very safe entries with a very low risk yet a massive potential reward just like this afternoons trades...The second one I did actually enter on the first LH but got pipped out by a spikey candle, but managed to hold the 2nd LH.. Will be looking to take break and retests off of the 35 LWMA too, allah Martins favourite entry...

You see I've sat there and watched these first HL and first LH entries go by without entering because I was the wrong side of the 100LWMA so again the 35LWMA will confirm these LH's HL entries...I use to watch and say to myself , hit it , hit it, but would let it go, but not anymore, now I'm only focusing on the 1 min structure I will be hitting them with unerring regularity...

The other thing I'm changing is to have my top four 5 min charts open and when I get a slope change alert have a quick look at that pair to see if I like what I'm looking at, if I see a strong AB crossing the LWMA I'll be looking for the first CCI signal back with the trend...

Now I'm gonna have to be on my toes for sure and there's probably gonna be signals galore but at least I'll know I'm getting in early in the move and holding until the LWMA changes colour, this will ensure my winners will be a lot bigger than my losers and that Ladies and Gentlemen, more than anything else, is the key to a successful Trader....

See the difference between 34 LWMA and my trend indicator. {image}

Hi Navk

Thanks for the new trend indy but I'm sticking to my 35 LWMA here's why, look at the first LH in your chart?? Its above your trend indicator but below my 35lwma therefore confirming to me there's a possible trend change and I'm then looking for a CCI sell signal for entry as long as it signals whilst we are still a LH...

To be honest I'm using my 35 lwma as first a visual confirmation of trend but more importantly it alerts me of any slope changes so i can pull up the chart and look for my strong AB move cutting across the 35LWMA...

Thanks for your ideas much appreciated...but for the time being I'm running with the 35LWMA... cheers

Hey Clive, subscribed to FF because of you, to tell you what a good man you are !! And believe me, I have seen and heard a hundred of self-appointed trading "masters" I am glad you are a nice and calm person, able to help and teach very well. If anybody is interested to find out more about CCI and why this indi is one of the best, I will do some posting about it. (As soon as I found out how to post screenshots, lol) Anyway, thank you again for everything! Wolfgang
Hi Wolfie

Thanks for your involvement in the webinars it was great and thanks also for your kind words they are very much appreciated...

I think we would all love you to post about the CCI indicator as the more we know about it the better...

The main reason I use it is because it leads the price as I have demonstrated many many times but also unlike other momentum indys like stochastic and RSI it has no limits to its overbought or oversold areas so it clearly shows when the momentum is dropping or swinging in a move. very very powerful indicator....

Please feel free to post about the CCI that would be great...

Thanks again for your input...

As for posting charts etc on FF , when you're entering a new post look at the bottom and there is a tool bar saying "Attach files" click on the "Upload from computer" and it will allow you to browse your files for uploading to your posts. You will obviously have to save any charts, images etc first on your computer so that you can find them under the browse function...hope that helps

Hi Jason

Yep thats a good idea Jason to have them tested out before we even start to look into any new indys.

I personally am more than happy with our 3 main indys, TTindy, 100/35LWMA and the CCI, thats about it for me... With a large dose of support and resistance levels, market structure and pure price action to boot....

Thats all we need guys....

Hi Clive

Almost without fail the best moves occur when pairs are agreeing eg jpy weak across the board etc etc with many of the top 8 featuring the specific currency. Yes we accept that what the charts and TT look like at the end of the run and at the start are completely different. That difference will be vital when getting in nearer the start of the run.

The 35 lwma/TT should help a lot (as you might recall I switched to 50 some time back to help with this very thing) but pairs agreeing at the start will also help with this. For example several gbp pairs above 35 for buys, or say gj and ej below for sells.

Anyway all the best going live.

Thanks Devon,
I don,t like very much 1min tf because it,s very noisly, but for R:R it,s great and i agree Clive. I use 5-15min tf for entry and i wait at first daily LL or HH and then wait ABC- 123 patern it,s all wich you need. i start trade when open frankfurt market Next week i,ll try Clive's system it,s look interesting but i think it will be hard for me wish you all green pips my friends

Hello Dear Clive, how are you? I am very glad about your good news and i hope you will do good job next week with your new real account. I wish you many green pips and i want ask you that post your real account results in future.
I have some questions for you:
1. How long time use this system?
2. What is results?
3.Do you use only 1-5min tf or for entry use only 1min tf?
4. Do you use 1-4 hours and daily S/R lines or not?
5. Which pairs follow most time?

Thanks

Hi Mr V.

Yep thats the thing really , if I'm going to just concentrate on 1 minute charts then I need to get in as early as possible and the 35 LWMA or as in your case the 50 are going to achieve that for us... I'm going to try 35 first but if a bit too busy then up to the 50 like your good self...

Also it will indicate any currency strength or weakness across the board sooner than later and again get us into these runs early.. Of coure it might prove to be fraught with danger if we get in too early before the trends set but lets see how it goes..
