Mr V.
I see your point regarding the cost of entry. Its a cost that I am pretty happy with having come from a broker whose spreads were extortionate.

I totally agree with the biggest trender approach as it has proved itself in this thread ,I like to be in and out again in the shortest possible time with expectations of a win and able to take it on the chin if it loses.

I think that you have to find the style that suits your personality. Mine is risk 1% to gain 1%, 2 perhaps 3 times a day. You like the bigger runs.

There is no doubt we are entering the same place its just our exits that differ.
Best regards

Dave,
Just wondering if you got your hat trick this morning at the football.

lucky granddad getting the kids for the afternoon, stop pretending you don't like it.
Going to see mine this afternoon after school,
Got the grumpy old grandpa mask in my bag.

All the best

I have another question..
I have this "MA_Slope Alerts.ex4" from here http://www.forexfactory.com/printthr...486543&page=80 but couldn't figure out how to set the "slope" setting.. (below the MaMethod)
Is that some kind of angle or something else...?

Sorry Jennifer, I'm not familiar with that indy.

However I must pose a query myself. This comes from the land of silly questions and is directed to the land of the silly walk. <href:MP>
I'm guessing the minimum TTindy reading of "30" applies to the "M5" section?

Hi Jenifer

I just use the defaults apart from the ma length and type set to lwma 3 I think... I just use it to alert me when the slope changes as thats quite often a very good time to get into a reversal move.

But I'm sure if you play around with it or even search google for an explanation there will be one somewhere either on an FF thread or a website somewhere.

Like I say I just use it for the slope changes alerts...
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

Had one of those magic moments in life today, took my eldest grandson, he is 9 to watch me play football for the 1st time in his life, took and watched him play many times, but never the other way round, anyway I asked him what he thought after he had watched and who he would give as man of the match he said you granddad you were brilliant, we won 21 - 17 and I scored 10 it was 6 aside, he then said I will now listen to what you say to me, now I know you can play like that.
Pure Magic never forget that.

No Darryl it doesn't 30 is just for the 1 min trend strength the 5 mins and above have different readings much larger than 30. I once did a post on the different strengths somewhere but not sure where.

Best thing to do is to change the TTindy inputs to the different time frames then see if you like the chart you're looking at. Have a look at the charts to see what they look like on each strength setting.

Will try and post something on it later tonight when I get home...

Guys
Please just have a look at PRICE ACTION at the PIVOT levels today, I have checked ALL the Gbp pairs, it just might give some clues to the HOLD or FOLD debate
My PIVOTS are based on 22.00 to 22.00 timeframe

Would like to get pointed in the direction of use of all indies.

TTindy I've figured out, although it was a bit tricky getting it to work. Loaded 1st ver, crashed mt4. Removed it and tried All Brokers Ver. It crashed mt4. I then removed it (both versions) from indicators folder, rebooted mt4, and it worked, even thought I had removed it from indy folder??? Twilight Zone moment...

I had put it on a chart with no other indies. After seeing it work, closed mt4, added TTindy back in, and now seems to work ok, although it may slow down my entire platform some.*

* I'm not a coder, but have dealt with indies that would typically cause platform to bog. Then a coder went thru the code and removed stuff that no longer was being used by program. After that, these bog down indies worked without a hitch. If this comment is out of place, I'll be happy to edit it.

took a look at Gbp pairs.
my broker is FXcm Looking to see where you start your pivots Looking at Gbp/ Nzy for yesterday on a 1 min chart everthing fine up to 2158 Uk time,
then the next 1 minute candle finished at 22.01 then the one after that is normal and shows it was painted at 22.02, and the rest are fine.
That's just to weird a 3 minute candle on a 1 minute chart

Yes I have that to, I have never traded that one but it should not make to much difference to the pivots, check the g/jpy & g/usd even the g/aud when Clives 1min gets you into a trade at a level you could maybe shoot for the next level, don't forget the M levels are valid to
Their is a rough rule of thumb that when a reversal happens at
R1 it goes to S1 or S1 to R1
R2 it goes to S2 or S2 to R2
R3 it goes to S3 or S3 to R3
M0 it goes to M2 or M2 to M0
M1 it goes to M3 or M3 to M1
M2 it goes to M4 or M4 to M2
M3 it goes to M5 or M5 to M3
Just have a look see what you think ??????
