Clive I have thought long and hard about this post but in fairness to myself I feel I must post it, I really hope you do not mind.
I was on the opposite side of you trade, the reason being you have mentioned more than once about going in too many times, being to late to the party, well my view was that we were at M4, late in the day after a 200+ all one way up day, could not reason that at that time of day that they would be any new buyers indeed as you say many times surely guys would be banking profit, also not many days finish on their highs, 1 min 100lwma showing weakness saw a 4 time bottom broke between 16.12 and 17.40 so I sold it, got my 25 pips but it went on to make 3 times my risk.
I accept that I will most likely get some flak for this post put it is a trade that you all know is my method of trading and indeed I have been talking to my friend about your 1min signals at levels so I view it as valid
Logged a +25 but could have been a +75 and that's a fact

This is a great thread Clive! I have been trading baskets with this type of method but using the ABC for a take profit option. I just finished reading the thread and had time today to setup the charts via your first couple post and have had great success. I really like higher times frames as I'm not in front of the computer all day for trading a scalping system. Going forward with my testing I will look to find the best settings for higher time frames as that will best suit my schedule. If I find something interesting I most likely will post a vid for all to check out as vid's are the quickest and best way of explain things for me. If you get a chance take a look at my vids using my ABC pattern for potential take profit areas if you get bored. Maybe it could help here with for use as a alternate take profit area.

Thanks mate. to me it was a valid Clive 1min trade but from levels we have spoken about, I don't know quite why I missed all the buying action it just took off without me but I am trying to watch more pairs now and you know I like more than I bullet in my gun before I go into battle, football this morning but my legs & ankles do not feel to good after showing off to my grandson on Tuesday. Thanks again for your support and also you devontrader
To me Clive 1min signal as a 3 - 0 win so far chalked up on the score board

Hi Old timer

Some great posts from you recently loved the one earlier about the GBP pairs being extended and you trading the reversal. I kept trying to get on the move up but got knocked off numerous times at BE after being at least 10 pips up on the trades . I was thinking at the time I should be taking orphans here as so extended a move. So whole heartedly agree with your trade there for sure. You saw a over extended move and thought "I'm only interested in down" and quite rightly so.

Glad to see the 1 min is working out for you too, once we accept its the same as any other chart and trends just as well as the others and trades the same, only consideration is the spread cost ratio against the profit.

Great stuff Dave keep it going, would be great to see some of your trades with a chart just to help everyone understand your system better.... But hey Ho thats up to you...

Took this hoping it would go off of the 1.4700 level top trender so hopefully will follow through....

Catch you later Dave....

Bearing in mind our conversation earlier about being fully extended I took 16 pips out of it tried to get 20 but it moved back too quickly....Dare say it will now tear up the page at a rate of knots but at least I've posted an early winner...

Gotta get to work catch up later...

Hi Clive. Ive been struggling with my trading recently (i dont blame your system, i blame whats between my ears!). After rereading some of yours and Mr V's posts i am focusing more on the TT waiting for strength across the board. As you say EA had made a big run already but euro strength and aussie weakness:

Hi Clive
Not trading this week, Trying to get my trading technique firmed up having adapted and I think improved it.
Your TTindy being the main focus for me.

Have been taking screen capture of the TT at various times throughout the day. This being pretty intensive as you have to be at your screen.

Have been searching for a good screen capture software that would take snapshots every x min possible 5 or 15 min intervals.

I did find a few but on downloading them along with them came a lot of Pop ups and garbage. and half a day wasted on cleaning the PC

my hope is that you or someone on the thread might be able to assist me, to get my butt of this chair
Best regards

Dave
I suppose a hat trick is a slim possibility

Boss I really do appreciate how you replied to my post it shows what a class act you are, I think we might have added a magic touch to the method, this is what I have noticed only watching a couple of pairs g/aud now thanks to Mr V, I think you were right to keep taking the buys with a tight stop because of were we were in the range and the position of the pivots but as you say once it stopped giving you anything perhaps that's the early warning that maybe a retest is due
With that in mind your trade this morning as you have said, a carbon copy of yesterdays and it makes your 16 pips look a good trade ( pushed up well past R3), problem then you had to go to work, but you are now getting sell signs that a retest is due, now I am sure if you had been about you would have been all over it like a rash with a least another 3-0 win for the method
To sum up we need to spot when to have tight stops and when to give it a little more wiggle room, gbp/aud did the same their must be easy zones on the pivots that it pass's through always bearing in mind the range because the move could have started from say a S level and only be hitting R1 but it could already have a 150 + in range
Just a idea that could turn into a range/reversal trade ???

Honestly do not think a currency meter is necessary. It was still early days but I have already deleted, the TT top 2/3 pairs does a great job of a CSM.

Thanks Mr V that's a relief that I don't have to get my head around them, well as I only watch the g/aud & g/usd that enough for me
