Sorry are you after the arrow indicator??

If so here you go latest version...

This one also has a trend strength setting on it so it won't signal until the trends a certain strength...so if you take days like today it won't produce a single signal if set to say 50 as the TTindy has not gotten much over 30 today so keeping you out of trouble.

The settings are designed to help you develop the discipline to not trade none trending markets and also the right time of day only.

Basically designed around the simplest rules of the system..so it will only signal if:

1) Right time of day

2) Strong trenders only.

3) CCI must go overbought in a down trend must go oversold in an uptrend.

All you have to do is decide if you like where the arrows appears eg is it at a key level etc is it one of the earlier CCI signals and if so drop a pending order on your chart..

Now what could be simpler??

not sure if anyone else having issues, but when i load up my clive entry arrow onto my chart my platform freezes...prior to that it was slowing things down...

Have i not got enough resources availabe or conflict with coding?

{quote} I like the 10 EMA on the daily chart as it is very responsive to price charges especially if you going to drop down and trade using 15, 5 or 1M charts for entries. You could choose the 20 or 50 EMA on the daily but you will wait even longer to get into reversal trades. For example, with the 10EMA you can catch a pullback that goes from the short to the long side of the EMA on a smaller time frame and pick up a few pips. Even if the trend resumes back below the 10EMA it does give you some trading opportunities instead of sitting on your hands...

sounds interesting to note! gonna keep it in mind.

i really don't understand what do you mean by ABCD setup... are you referring to fibonacci patterns ABCD? i'm trying to learn your setup but for a new trader like me pictures with charts don't make any sense.

Well a picture paints a 1000 words so if charts are meaningful to you then I don't know what will be. Suggest you use google for ABCD and a visit to babypips.com wouldn't go amiss either.

Its days like this that prove everything that I've been banging on about for as long as I can remember....You need to be trading strong trenders if you're indicators price action and strategy is going to work..

Just look at this top trender EURCAD its a top trender but the trend strength is very weak 26, I like to see it over 50 as a minimium...

For that reason I haven't taken a single trade today, obviously the Big Boys are NOT coming out to play today..

Remember the golden rule, written in absolute stone......

Hi Poweromania

Handy148 has got a good point and he is also right go and have a look at Babypips website http://www.babypips.com/school its a big help to newbies..

But I know where you are and I've been there too, I know what its like to read through all these threads and wander what the hell everyones talking about so I will point you in the right direction but then my friend its up to you to do some work and read through the thread. It will be quite intuitive for someone like you to follow my journey as thats what you've got in front of you..

Heres the link to my post explaining the ABCD pattern for you :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...80#post7780780

Now go read through the thread from there and you're see what its all about with plenty of "live trades" taken in real time to illustrate the strategy. It will take time and a bit of resolve on your part but you should find it well worth while if your goal is to trade forex...

All the best enjoy your Journey...

Hi Pieter

Not sure I know what you mean Pieter which indicator are you referring to???

This latest version of the arrows indy works on TTindy trend strength, it will only signal if trend is certain strength..is that what you mean??

Hi Clive

Thanks I have downloaded the alert and getting signals all over the place. Should help with one of my big issues - getting distracted away from a 1 min chart and missing moves!!

Yep. Getting red arrows during down trend and green during up. Arrows on just about every change in candle!
Definitely need a bit of tweaking......
