Hmmm knocked out at BE for nowt after being 15 pips up at one time, this is the issue with trying to hold for the higher timeframe setups they very often don't follow through nice and smoothly coming back at you and knocking you out at BE...

Better off with this system of just grab your orphans and run for the hills...

Especially as I'm trading 1% across 10 pips so a nice 15 pip winner is 1.5% profit so don't need too many of them to make a living...

Clive - hi m8.

I know you don't like higher time frames but just pull up a daily chart of EU and tell me if it's safer to go long or short.

If I have another day of "TRAIDING" like today, I will donate my PC to the homeless and go tie myself down on a railway track.
Wonder why you guys had a hard time trading today? Well it was ME. Every time I touched the keyboard, WHAM ! the trade turned the other way!!
You want your trade to turn from up to down, just call me. All I'll do is enter a trade up and like magic, it will turn down!!

Thank the heavens above it's Friday (the markets are closed tomorrow yipyyy!)

Going to close the bloody live account and do some serious introspection. I am screwing up and I don't know why.
Got some serious homework ahead of me this weekend.

Hope you kind people had a better day than me.

Catch you on the thread again next week.

Hi Clive,

Sorry to bother you, would you be able to list all the indicators required? I've downloaded the #master and Default template, just want to make sure I have all indicators so that it's functioning correctly.

Cheers,
Ivan

I dont know how it ends, but everithing looks Sell to me, except the TTindy that is in 15. Edit 1: Hit SL al BE, doesnt matter, is in a conflictive zone. {image}
draw your trend line on price and you see it is bearish on m1for longer term go to higher timeframefor eurusd take a look at the weekly daily and maybe even then h4 h1 to see what its intentions are.for me im holding a sell position which is currently in 5k profit.verified with picture sent to clive.its my understanding eurusd will possibly go to 0.8000 area..(tipped off lol)

Yep no problem Mike and I was trying to do that last week just concentrated on selling the EURUSD but of course last week it went up, so whenever I held for the turn down it ended up BE after BE, so got frustrated and gave up...

But one thing I am coming round to is looking for when the daily CCI signals then try to catch the next couple of 100lwma turns from green to red and away you go, like these charts below...

First the EURUSD daily chart with the nice CCI signal...good level too and a nice double top to boot...Double tops are awesome signals in strong down trenders as are overbought CCI signals in strong downtrends, absolute gold dust as you can clearly see in this strong down trender, look how good the CCI sell signals are???

Then the 1 min chart Zoomed right out....Take the first 2 CCI signals after MA turns red get to BE and see what sticks..

Trouble is Mike I just haven't got the patience for it to wait for the daily CCI signals..

Mind you now its turned back down might have a go at some on Monday and all next week see if I can get some on and see if they stick...

In a perfect world this would be my long term strategy, whatever is strongest weakest on my daily CSM or TTindy end of day system just look at the end of day and if its a CCI signal then drop an EA on that just takes the first 2 CCI signals after every turn down and see what sticks at the end of the next day... Slowly build a very big position bit by bit risking 10 pips on every trade... Use 1% across the 10 pips and away you go...

Really must try that one day.....

Hi Pipglutton. I'm using Simple FX Tester v2 for my weekend training. It is great tool for training without any losses. You can attach any indi to chart and open/close trades, also you can go candles faster or slower. It is free software.

I change the Ttindy to M5 and M15 but automaticly send my charts to M5. How can I change the Ttindy to M5 and M15 but the charts stays in M1?. {image}

The only way to do that so that you have the top 1 min charts to trade is to set T1 to 1 min which controls the charts timeframe then set T2 to whatever chart timeframe trend you want to trade. Then you're just have to wait for the 1 min to align with your T2 timeframe and start trading it.

In other words if EURUSD was top of 15 min TTindy then wait for it to automatically appear on your screen as a 1 minute chart and start trading it...

Only other way is to have TTindy set to 5 and 15 min so you know top trenders but set automatic open to "false" so no charts open automatically then you set CCI alerts on the 5 and 15min charts so they open the charts up whenever you get a signal...

Lastly just have the TTindy set to 5 and 15 min, then you'll have to manually open the charts on the 1 min timeframe and watch for the 120 HMA to turn in same direction and start trading it...There is a setting on the HMA to alert you whenever it turns your way so no need to sit there watching it.

Other than that we're have to ask Godsclown if he feels like changing the code so that no matter what the TTindy is set to it always opens a 1 min chart in the top 4 so we can trade the 5 min 15 min top trenders by entering on the 1 min chart signals,

Hey I like that last idea, if we had that as an input option then you could select the strong trend from your favourite time frame and whenever the 1 min 120 turned your way trade the next 2 CCI signals....

Yea like that , what you reckon GodsClown can it be coded easily?????

I have just found this thread and am working through the posts; am only up to 3185, but I note that some people were looking for an arrow to show direction?? I find that a 5/15 along with the rules as per Clive's posts will give a direction and when the corresponding arrow appears a point to exit. Case in point the attached chart of GBPJPY. The blue line is the London open.

Now back to reading!!
