Hello Clive,
The HMA settings for 1 min and 5 min are 150 and 100 respectively. However, uploaded the most recent template (master min 1) I have 120 HMA for both 1 min and 5 min tfs. What do I need to do to get exact setting as yours (shown here).

BR.

Only thing you might want to switch around is the TF1 and TF2 settings so that the 5 min HMA is the master and charts aer opened depending on the strongest 5 min trend... Then wait for 1 min HMA to turn same way and start taking CCI signals in direction of 5 min trends.. In fact look at every CCI signal back with the 5 min trend and hold on 5 min HMA for longer runs..

I think a lot of guys feel a little more at home trading with the strongest 5 min trends and the charts don't keep switching about so much, just be careful of trading against the 1 min HMA as thats your immediate trend...so wait for it to agree with the 5 min..

Not been around much last couple of days but hopefully around for tomorrow mornings LO and this is exactly what I'm looking for nowadays.

Look what happened today just after NYO guess there was EUR strength across the board and just look at the 5 min HMA 45 degrees up the page on them all..

Very simply, time of day just after a market opens, strength/weakness across the board, 5 min and 1 min HMA's in sync but diverging nicely.

Look for the break and retests of key levels like 25 levels, Daily high,low and close, pivot points, old support/resistance etc

Look at this EURNZD for some great examples of break and retest entries..

Then just look at these other EUR pairs, there must of been EUR strength across the board..

Morning Clive
So glad you had a look at Bill Williams stuff, I use the AC just like a Macd (more responsive though) looking for price breaks of the AC peaks & troughs also putting stops under AC highs and lows (your ABC's) and lastly for divergence. It is pretty good on a 1 min chart.
I do not use the Alligator (your HMA's) you mentioned once about taking the first CCI signal well I do because AC or CCI will beat any moving avg in reaction to a level be it Pivot, round numbers etc or support and resistance so NO m/avgs at all for me, also using the AC like this gives me the size of risk when entering a trade ( your AB leg) so if its to big I just wait for another set up or just drop down pip value.
I do not chase your STRONG TRENDERS in fact I prefer a non trender that's waiting on the start line, my reason is that if a pair as a range of 100,150 200 pips a day at some time it will come to the top of your 1min TT, to me if a pair as a range of 40 50 60 pip and trading on the high I will keep taking the BUYS until the range as expanded and I think the Daily Range is in, have a look with a open mind I think you just might find it a interesting tool for your method this way I do not after keep scanning for trenders but must admit to checking pairs through the day to see if they are on a daily high or low but as still got room to expand and meet its ATR

You're probably right but I try not to think like that about where its going to be later I'm just concerned with the "now" , what is it doing right now...

Anyway when you say "Clive, all you have to do is to take the green or red line and be patient." what do you mean?? Just wait for the 150HMA to go green, then wait for the pullbacks???

Not my best morning this morning found myself in a counter trend trade on GBPUSD, don't ask me how???? Was up about 10% until that ridiculous loss of discipline...

I'm convinced my "Fear of missing out" gets me into some ridiculous trades...far too early...

That little EUR spurt took my attention away from the GBP pairs today that seem to be going up quite nicely just prior to the news so I'd guess some good news coming out for GBP at 1200hrs today..

I am strictly trading by the 120HMA/5 min red/green line with 20 pips SL and discretionary TP (looking at the 8/120 CCI). It's not working all the time but if you get a run you go for the big one.
...and I am concentrating in one pair or 2 at the most. L and NY opening are best and right now, whenever a EURO Bankster has something to say.....
