{quote} Hey montego, when it does not look like there is another low on your chart (to the left) keep dialling up the TFs until you do see another low - keep panning back... on AU go to the W TF and pan back - there to the left (June `10) you will see the pivot low If this fails and you can only see a low then either you do not have enough data or you should go short

Day Open play as support and price was 'engulfed' in that H1 Master Candle high-low. Then a breakout to BRN 0.7700 and dropped sharply.

GBPNZD week 04 D chart trades:

You will see on the MN chart that the market is sideways and price action is within the high -low of the Sep 2014 MN candle.
On the D chart, there is support in the region around 1.9300 and 1.9400.
With a weaker kiwi, this pair can recapture the recent MN highs and that may take time.

Heiken_Ashi Histogram

http://www.pointzero-trading.com/Fre...wnloads/view/8

Here you find some good trading tools to enhance your chartist skills.

remember the Synergy Average Price APB candles are slightly different from the original Heiken Ashi HA candles. But you can use either one with TMS. You need to understand the characteristics of the APB / HA candles to help you trade better with TMS 5-Method.
The body of the APB candles will warn you of price strength weakening and possible change in direction. When you combine the use of the APB and the real price bar, it will be a part of your 'leading edge' over other traders.
The other thing you look at and compare is the body size of the APB candles. When they are growing in size and above the average you define for a certain period, the better your trades will run into profits.
In the HA Histogram is a moving average line, set that moving average to the period you trade.

APB/HA Histogram download:

Here are the indicators.
Note the HeikenAshi_DM is coded the same as the original APB.
The APB_HA_DM Histogram.ex4 requires the HeikenAshi_DM.ex4 to be in the MQL4/Indicators folder.

Have fun!

I set the APB moving average to 20-day to trade on my Day charts. I look at the price on an average 20-days in relation to its momentum.

Trading the D chart is what some say it is too slow and it is like waiting for the paint to dry.
So I don't wait for the paint to dry, I have plenty of time to do other things in life such as coding trading tools and testing them.
Kind of fun learning and trading at the same time. After all I am retired and that is a great way to live life.

Hi, How can I add 20-day average to Synergy_Pro_TDI windows?

Here is the way to do it. Also answer all the PMs I get asking this same question.

Just remember, you can select any of your platform indicator and drag that to the indicator window. But you must always set the 'apply to ...' correctly.

Note:
The TDI already has its 34-period in its default (the yellow MBL). Anyone trade with that 34-period? Why 34 in the first place. You can say that is a number in the Fibonacci series, but that cannot be you use that for every different timeframe you trade, right?
Also, why those two levels - 32 and 68, looks like curve fitting to me.

i know this is out of topic.,but i read this on their website..

Tickmill announced today its readiness to buy client portfolios and assets of FX brokers who have run into difficulties due to recent market events related to record Swiss Franc volatility.
With a strong capital base Tickmill is looking forward to seize this historic opportunity and significantly increase its client base and market share.
The management was able to foresee recent Swiss Franc developments. As a result, the company was not affected by market moves thanks to the excellent risk management systems and Tickmill’s directors, who have over 15 years of experience in the FX industry.
Tickmill stands strong to onboard unlimited number of new clients and is also able to absorb FX brokers who lack sufficient capital for operations.

is this mean they want to grow up their business?
wonder how much money they have...
anyone here have experience with them?
think to open account with them...

Oanda raising margins too.... courtesy of the NFA.

==============


If you trade CHF, SEK, NOK action may be required.
Effective 6:00 PM EST, January 22, 2015, the National Futures Association (NFA) has imposed a requirement that forex brokerages reduce the available leverage on certain currencies due to the extraordinary market conditions.
As directed by the NFA, OANDA will be changing margin requirements for 3 currencies. The affected currencies are the Swiss Franc, Swedish Krona and Norwegian Krone.

Currency
Previous Margin Requirement
New Margin Requirement
Swiss Franc (CHF)
2%
5%
Swedish Krona (SEK)
2%
3%
Norwegian Krone (NOK)
2%
3%
As a result of this change, accounts with positions in these currencies will show a reduction of margin available at 5:00 PM EST on January 22, 2015. If this margin available falls below the 50% closeout margin specified in your customer account, all open positions in your account will be immediately closed.
IF YOU TRADE THESE PAIRS, we strongly encourage you to review your accountimmediately and close sufficient positions by 5:00 PM EST on January 22, 2015 to ensure you have sufficient margin available to avoid closeout of all your positions.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Please call us at 1-877-626-3239 should you have any questions or require assistance.
Thank you for trading with OANDA.

The BRN is 1.5100 and I wait for a D candle breakout of that high 1.52683 or to low 1.50736. On the D chart, the TDI had been in the extreme level 32 and this make it useless to consider for any trade decision in this market type. The TDI Green PL and Red TSL only show the relative momentum of two periods. I will look at the 20-day momentum and compare this with the TDI PL Green. Red. When...

Hi emmanuel;

Thanks for your response.

I've canceled the Pending Sell for now. If today finishes as a Bearish Inside Day I might be tempted back in Short.

I've reconstructed the TDI because I've never got on with Oscillators.

Only the Market can decide when it's had enough if the PA is strong enough carry on Trading with the Trend no matter what any Oscillator is telling you.

In the image below I've added the 34 Bollinger Bands this makes up the complete TDI Indicator.

I think it's important to understand fully any Indicator you rely on for your Trading.

All the TDI shows is a 2 Simple Moving Average/Close (Green) crossing the 7 Simple Moving Average/Close (Red) the Market Base Line (Yellow) is a 34 Simple Moving Average/Close, as you know, it shows short term Market Trend and all contained within the Volatility Bands which are Bollinger Bands set to 34 the 13 Period RSI is the Oscillator part of the equation.

It is only for the 3 pairs though. I use Onanda and they haven't sent me anything yet. To be fair it is probably a smart decision.

Sounds like they made a shed load of pips from the CHF move. Might be worth opening a demo and get a feel for how they conduct business.
