Does anyone use a script to close all open orders when a certain amount of pips total from pairs are reached?

Hi, everyone

I've been searching for the parameters for the Price Action Channel. So far, I've found 5 ma smoothed high and 5 ma smoothed low. I'm guessing it's applied to close (that would make sense), and shift 1. Anybody know?

The the "apply to" part is to the "high" and the "low". "Close" is within that same drop down list.

Hi Mary,
These are Dean Malone's settings:

smoothed 5 shift 1 low.
smoothed 5 shift 1 high.

Beautiful day in Montana

Greetings all,

Newbie Forex trader here. I've been experimenting with this method with some success and some failures. I actually made a trade with a pretty good result (demo account). The image below shows where I went short (blue line) and where my S/L and T/P lines are. This trade resulted in +49 pips.

That being said, I seem to be having trouble making profit on pairs with large spreads. Would any of the seasoned vets here recommend sticking with EURUSD or exploring other pairs?

Edit: Oops, also wanted to mention I use the Japanese Candles because I understand them better. Should I switch back to HA's?

I have seen a few questions about what pairs are most popular with the TMS followers, so I thought I would share my simple attempt at determining these pairs by frequency of occurrence (using full pair name) in the TMS thread. I can think of many reasons this methodology would not be considered robust, so please consider the result a basic measure of interest.

Hi albuquettes, well done! Yes, i suggest using HA candles (or the similar APB) - the basic reasons are (at least) two-fold : everyone else uses them (makes it easier for seniors to analyze your charts) and you need them for the method (they play a part in the rules). There are other reasons but this is a good start. Yes, i tend to stick to major pairs with low spreads but i have just seen a list in the previous post worth looking at. With your EU trade, are you sure that is not 49 pipettes? (do you have a 5 digit broker?) Keep going!!!

Hi steadyrandy, thank you for the post - this is interesting. Could you please describe what you did to get these results. I am guessing you downloaded all posts and then ran some program to count the number of times each pair was written down by members??? Would it be a stretch to include if they were wins / losses for a given year...

You are welcome!
I kept it very simple. I just put each pair (e.g., EURUSD) in the Search This Thread box, and ordered the frequency of post occurrences. I did not include any results for EU-type or UCad-type formats. There is no accounting for what might have been popular when the thread started vs now...differences in favorites of 1H vs 4H vs Daily traders. I would expect that Seniors are frequently stating what their pairs are when asked...all kinds of methodology problems.

{quote}Would it be a stretch to include if they were wins / losses for a given year...
I am not sure how I would get at this. It would likely be a tedious qualitative (inferential) study. I don't think most people are being all that clear in their posts about performance for the year. It would probably be more direct to start a survey for this type of info, but I have not seen that functionality in FF.

​ Thanks for the advice! I've read up a little bit on HAs and I guess they actually are easier to understand than traditional candles. asked yes I think you're right about the pipettes. I suppose the next step is to get better at recognizing and getting in on the signals.

Nods80, Thank you! Don't forget Lastingwell. Lastingwell is one of the best traders that I have ever met. I trust her 100% with my life & money.

Trust me on this!!! By the way we will teach you how to trade
Hi, Snarly;

Was reading from the 1st - 200 pages and saw your name among one of the earliest players and amazingly to know you are still here for helping newbies. I also want to learn TMS and am studying the 5M-discussion from the post. Just want to say "Thank you" for so many good people maintaining this great thread.
