Hoping for more girlfriends?????

I'm ok but could be better with the trading, lost my way a bit with my continuous testing and trying things out but realise now what I have to do... Its all about those strong trends, just need to wait for them to setup then its a doddle but I tend to jump in too quickly... my old nemesis, "The fear of missing out" gets me every time but I'm very very aware of it now so gonna watchout for it and just hang fire...

Got a good feeling about next week apart from its Christmas week so might be a bit quiet...

Your trading results are very good to put it mildly, what strategy are you using???
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

Currently I am using a breakout strategy that my dads old friend uses. He just found out he trains hedge fund managers in the UK. He set me up with him and I am learning his one trade set up he uses. He says why have multiple set ups when you could master one? Anyways I am busy learning bits from him and following some of his calls but waaaay over leveraging them hehe

also using something similar to Georges for quick scalps. (Mainly for fun and out of boredom) I can post some of the setups I am getting from using his method if you would like?
They are longer term and don't relate to the 1 minute thread.

Let me know

{quote} MTPockets could you share your indicator for tms osc hist and explain how your using it,,,this maybe handy to adopt if not in the main core method but others in there own style
Sure

It is a MTF Oscillator that I downloaded from the Trading made Simple thread . .
I don't like real busy charts, so if I can find a way to consolidate a few indicators .. then I'm happy.
The Indicator displays Stochastics of the current and next 2 higher time frames, when they all line up it's time to pull the trigger.
Stochastics 8. 2, 3

TMS-Osc Histo 3TF v1.02.ex4

Virtually the same entry as the CCI, but Clives Top 8 helps pin point the right trend, Sometimes you enter slightly earlier sometimes not. It just takes up less room on my chart (personal choice)

Barely got my SL hit on that one trade. Was half the lot size however so not too worried about it. Decent entry but should have waited till test of 100 MA channel.

Morning to All!
In this trade right now, PB on M1 but also in a healthy DT up to the monthly (!) where it just came out of the cloud.
I am trailing at distance inbetween kijun (35lwma) and kumo - because on the D1 the didtance to kijun is already over 600 pips so it might retrace soon..??

Hi devontrader,

nothing changed, 100% ABCD, 100% CCI, 100% M1, only different view.

Even around a important S/R level in the higher TF a good example of ABCD, 25 Pip-Grid-trading and finding
a good channel.
We have abc, then draw the channels (in subwindows with parallel trendline) in Chart with equidistant channel tool.

Bingo: D is channel bounce. See how market loves 25 grid-steps, even half grid and quarter-grid are levels just to keep an eye on.

Addition technic working very well in running trends: Projection technic (can be only 1 but mostly more steps of retracements) Another story but just to show you.

In this case it took a while for the first step because trend was yet not running (less than 45 degree ancle a good view of strength btw) and check out the grid level 119.500 and how traders fight.

Infoboard shows in traffic light style where we are in the market. Green over the last Fractal, yellow between last and next, red below last fractal.

First subwindow: mtf cci M5 set to 20 colors change as I set them.
Second subwindow: mtf cci M1 set to 20

See the channels and checkmarks? All three pointing down, M5 stays below 0, M1 moves below +100 what in cci means: go !
Price is leaving the channel in trend direction? Good, next safe target is next 25pip-grid-level and more if momentum is strong ( convergence in M5 cci and/or more than 45 degree price fall checked by the eye and large candles)

My rule of thumb: It is all about reaching the next grid level and/or more of them, just a question of momentum power...

You can get the indis and how to do the settings for free on truetl. com (No, I am not a affiliate of them)

Zigzag is only good for a better fiew of the highs and lows and where to stick the channels.

As you can see: All about the system.

Respect
Wolfgang

Ok,

meanwhile the projection distance is reached and as you can see, three times 12,7 pips.

The black trendline in the chart is the core of cci: Average price (black trendline) and the oscillation up and down from it building the abcd-channel.

cci shows the numbers over and below 0 (average), - 261 at point D which means strong oversold and in this case without divergence a bounce is forming, point D if you will.

The projection technic is working in established trends even better. Measure the retracement as shown and when the level is broken, at least one of the pip-mesurement will be reached. Another advantage of the ABCD-zigzag-fact.

I have been trying to use buy and sell stops, as Clive does. The problem I noticed was that when I wanted to move it, I had to do a second confirmation step to set the move. By that time, it was to late and I would have been better off with a market execution. I did some research over lunch and saw that Clive was able to drag his buy and sell stops without the confirmation. I needed to have the "one click" activated in metatrader first to do that. I did that then I played with it a bit.

What I have not figured out is how to set a buy or sell STOP with one click, instead of setting a limit order. Can anyone help with that?

Did you try the right-click on the chart, then select in "trading". The lotsize is according what you have in the one-click tradepanel.
Even faster is using a script and assigning a key combination to it.

Yeah. When you right click, the top option is a Limit order, not a stop order. As I understand it, the stop order is only executed at that exact price and a Limit order can be executed if price is close to it. In that scenario, I would only use the Stop order.

When the right-click menu opens, you have to go down 1 step and open "trading" - there you can choose a stop order.

Hi capstone,
If you are looking for a one click buy/sell button then what you need to do in metatrader 4 is have the pair you are trading open. Then on your keyboard press Alt T, in the top left corner a little window will open. You can control the lots size and then wheen you want you can buy or sell with one click.
i hope this will help you.
Or you can do what Go5 has said
Regards JTH

Oh by the way when you restart metatrader 4 you will have to open it again.
