Trading is as simple as ABCD

A wee bit of housekeeping here.

I was having problems setting up "#Top 8 Trenders Indicator". It would cause freezes, run slow, take a long time to even show up. Here's what I did to change all of that:




There is a file called "History" inside the first level of your MT4 "Program" file. I emptied that folder. Check the size of it, and if it's over 40mb, it begins to slow down your system. Since we are focused primarily on M1 for this system, your history is not needed.

Next, there are two files in the "MQL4" folder nested inside your MT4 program.

Here'e the list of files I clean out:
• Logs
• Files

My "Files" folder holds screen shots of each trade I take using an Expert Advisor. The size of the file before I emptied it was over 600mb.

Hi Dave
I hear you loud and clear and just look what happened this morning just after my winning trade on EURAUD it produced a LL then a LH which is one of Mr V's favourite setup the old first LH or pullback in the new downtrend...

Now some people would accuse me of a counter trend trade but I would argue its the first entry in the new trend,,, This is something I am quite keen on once the strong trender gives us this quality reversal signal its well worth a punt with a very small stop.. Also gret chaance of it retraceing 70% of the previous move up using Fibonacci theorys..

However missed that one this morning but as you say there's another one setting up on GBPCAD right now so gave it a go...

These signals are well worth taking after a strong trender has flown one way or the other as a great chance of a low risk high return trade. Would suggest holding until 100lwma slope change..

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...
Try one of these. http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search....+capture+timer

most software on softpedia is 3rd party nuisance ware free, if there is any softpedia warn you.

I've always been interested in taking these first LH's or first HL's looks like we're going to have to look into trading the strong trenders all the way up then once they turn over trade the reversal....

Went to football with just the intention of supporting the guys, done a bit to much showing off Tuesday, anyway got their and the numbers were small, had to get my gear on to help the guys out, did not play to well but the guys were pleased and they enjoyed it, its just great to be part of a team even if you have a off day.

Hi clive. Tried out your TTindy, fantastic. Please excuse my chart format, not an attempt to subvert your method, I tried the TT indy on the chart but it made my system a bit laggy (old computer) so today I just put the TT indy in its own window and used one of my standard chart formats to have a quick go. Seems to work quite well.

Todays result.

I just think its a pattern they do to trap guys to stay over night and pay costs, they get you thinking your in on a strong move then take a bit off you but not too much that shakes you out of the original move (remember the video)

Yea I remember the video but to be honest Dave I don't hold too much with this "them and us" theory I think its just how "the market" works. The bigger orders need liquidity and thats the bottom line, what looks like a deliberate move is just "the market" trying to find the perfect price...and seeking out buyers when it has tooo many sellers and seeking out sellers when it has too many buyers, just the way "the market" works IMHO...

Just my opinion Dave....for what its worth...

Hi Dee50

Very very nice.

I noticed you've been on the Harenko charts recently on Jacquatemates thread. Have you tried using the TTindy on your Harenko charts?? I've often thought its the perfect combination but always end up back with my old familiar 1 min charts. However it does make sense to use them as price can only go up or down, we don't need time in the equation really, do we????

Whats your thoughts????

Yes that's why my mind set is all about how far the 1st push is, being a bit of a (chicken) that's why I bank a flat 25 and be happy, I can work my pip value out and just slowly build my pip value up now at (£100 per pip) hahahahahaha
You with your ability to bounce from chart to chart should be doing a lot better if your work did not get in the way, yes I know how nice it is to get big winners but to me if you cannot get 25ish every day how are you ever going to be in a financial position to turn any into big winners, that will come later. I think your 36 and your trade this morning is the bare min you should be getting every day with your talent and to be honest I cannot see with all the pairs you look at why you cannot find 4 x 25pip ish a day as me scratching my head

Looks like I've missed some great trading - congrats to all.
